Favorite Jewelry Trends You'll Love - 2011

Spring 2011 jewelry tips include using what you already have and adding a few additional pieces. A variety of metals can be combined into one great look. Short necklaces can be bordered with the longer necklaces to make both more striking and showy.

Pick several blending colors or color wheel opposites to perk up your outfits - whether it be jeans and a t-shirt or your work time wardrobe.

Spring 2011 jewelry trends will show many bigger pieces, some that are not symmetrical. Squares often won't be perfectly square and circles not perfectly rounded.

Combine a variety of textures including woods, metals and beads for a fun and trendy look. Pull different metals together with one bracelet or piece that contains a variety of metals. You will find that it makes your blended colors come together and make a great statement.

Remember you can purchase jewelry just about any place you shop. Jewelry also comes in a large price range. You can also make your own or ask someone to make a piece to fit your wardrobe and your personality.

If you are invited to a spring home jewelry show, take advantage of the tips and suggestions from the advisor. Although you may think you are unable to afford the jewelry, think again. Ask about hostessing a show to receive free jewelry or that of very little cost. Lia Sophia, for example, allows you to purchase 4 hostess bonus items priced $100 or less for only $15 each, in addition to free jewelry from your sales.

Once your eye sees that piece you really want, think about how and when you will wear it. Then, each day take a minute or two to add those special pieces to your daily outfit. People will comment on unique jewelry and you, too, will feel good that you took time to finish your look for the day.

If your jewelry begins to look a little dull, wash it in dish washing soap to easily remove oils from your skin. Be careful with some stones as they should not be soaked. A quick rinse and careful drying will make them shine like new.

You say you wear just short expensive necklaces. That's fine. Wear two or three at different lengths for a very special and trendy look. Even though they're small and chains are short, the two or three different lengths and styles will make a noticeable and special finished style.

Cost doesn't really make a difference, it's the pieces you choose for your own personality and wardrobe that make a difference in how you appear to your friends and others.
