Jewelry Forecast for 2011


Jewelry for 2011 will be stylish, bold and fun. You will see lots of opulent real or faux gemstones. You will see tons of resin and acrylic ones…for the I only wear real gemstone snobs, remember they are light in weight and price. You will see these either alone or in huge dramatic designs and layered too. Your jewelry should definitely make a statement. Don’t be afraid to make massive and drama filled pieces. You will also see antique vintage and retro combinations and Ethnic and Tribal Looks. In natural stones you will see lots agates, turquoise, onyx and red coral. Pearls will be huge this year whether faux or real. You will see them in tons of shapes including teardrops, huge rounds like shell pearls and biwa.You will also see strong Motifs and textured jewelry so get ready to see things like snakes, elephants, flowers, birds, bugs, leaves and coins in lots of jewelry.
Heres the breakdown:

Bracelets
- Bangles are banging…yes bracelets will be hot this year. The more bracelets you have on your arm the more fashionable you will be. Mix them up thin and thick bangles look nice together and will give you the ultimate look. Big bold bracelets will be the way to go and you will also see cuffs in metals, leather and Lucite studded with crystals studs and charms.

Big Rings – Rings inspired with a vintage retro look will be one of the hottest trends for 2011. You will find them in a variety of colors and styles and made with crystals, pearls, charms and almost any beads. Remember big is better!

Earrings – Hoop earrings are still in. You will see them over the top in size and length. The more glitz the better. Don’t forget chandeliers are still here. The same applies, big and bold and blinging.

Layered Metal necklaces - will continue throughout this year. So gather up your chain, the more elaborate they are the more you’ll fit in. Add some coins or skeleton keys. What you won’t see is lots of precious metal jewelry because of the increased costs. You will see tons of massive lightweight large chain…including aluminum chain.

Color predictions - Colors in 2011 are muted tones like pale grey blues, taupe or faded creams, soft violets, washed out yellows. You will find them combined with more saturated colors such as yellow, violet, purple, red and cerulean blue. Be ready to see lots of Black, Grey and Neutrals.For more in-depth color analysis visit this link http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/pantone.aspx?pg=20824&ca=10
