2011 Jewelry Trends

Meghan Gallahan
Although we have a long cold winter ahead, spring will be here soon enough, sneaking up on us with a sly wink and the smell of warm spring air. What better time to think about the upcoming spring fashions than right now, while there is ample time to collect a cohesive and stylish collection BEFORE it is time to shed bulky jackets and boots and finally accessorize again. Because of fluctuating weight, the fast paced fashion trends, and limited storage, it is a daunting task to pick clothes out nearly a season ahead of schedule, but jewelry is always a wise investment for the fashion focused woman of today. There are three jewelry trends that are bound to take spring fashion by storm in 2011, and here they are:

1. Owl themed jewelry- The owl is known for its beauty and wisdom, so is it any surprise that people love wearing jewelry styled like this little creature? Jewelry that mimics the sleek lines and mysterious look of the owl is going to be a definite fashion must for spring. Owl jewelry is already starting to catch the notice of the public, with fashion conscience stores like Charlotte Russe and Forever 21 carrying fashion themed rings, necklaces, and barrettes.

2. Fashion Glasses- Sure we don't all NEED glasses, but sometimes they are just fun to wear. Fashion glasses are glasses that have no prescription, meaning you can wear them even when you don't need to correct your vision. Glasses frame the eyes, making them appear more defined and bringing the focal point to your best asset. Glasses with colored frames also often bring out radiant skin tones and shiny streaks of natural color found in your hair. Most fashion glasses can be bought for $10-20 dollars, and can be bought in any shade to match outfits or accessorizes.

3. Long necklaces-It's true that these types have necklaces have been closely hugging the fashion world for quite some time. You will see the occasional celebrity rocking them, but spring 2011 will be their year. Long necklaces do wonders for the body. They naturally elongate the body, making you look leaner and taller. They also keep the neck area clean and graceful looking, while still allowing us necklace lovers to show our style. Long necklaces with heavy pendants will be especially hot in 2011, and with the length and uncluttered look of the long necklace, layering jewelry is not only fun, but a must.

Spring 2011 is set to be a great year in fashion. People are getting even bolder in their style, and are continuously declaring their taste through jewelry and clothes. With these 3 hot spring trends, you are all set for an exciting, fashion full new-year!
