Chandelier earrings and big cocktail rings were a hot jewelry trend in 2009 and it looks like they are going to stay hot into the 2010 season. When it comes to earrings and rings, the bigger the better. Instead of letting your outfit scream for attention, the 2010 season is all about bold accessories. Metallics like bronze, gold and copper can be seen everywhere. Big stones in colors like coral, yellow and green are also popular this year. Here are some tips and trend watches to help you score big in fashion in 2010.
The great thing about chandelier earrings is that they look great on any face shape. There are so many different options to choose from that you are bound to find a pair or two that are perfect for you. Celebrities can be seen wearing chandelier earrings to red carpet events all the time. What's great about a big, bold pair of earrings is that you don't need other accessories to complete the look. These dramatic earrings are the perfect ultra-feminine accessory for any outfit.
Vintage
The obvious time to wear chandelier earrings is a night out on the town or any other glamorous event you are attending. They go great with a gown and an updo or even a nice pair of jeans and party top for the club. Fancy chandelier earrings can be found in just about any shape, size and color you can imagine. Anything with bronze or gold bases in large, fanning vintage designs is a sure-fire hit. Look for earrings with yellow, coral or green gemstones to be on the cutting edge of color trends. Surprisingly, chandelier earrings can also be worn with a very casual outfit. If you throw on a jersey and a pair of jeans for the game on Sunday, add a great pair of chandelier earrings for an unexpected feminine touch. Stay a bit simpler when going this route with a few long strands and a matte stone like turquoise or coral.
Another great accessory that can stand on its own is a cocktail ring. These can be so much fun to wear and can add a little something different to your outfit. Just like the chandelier earrings, bigger is better when it comes to cocktail rings! Choose something with a huge, sparkling stone or a big metallic flower. Yellow gold is really popular when it comes to cocktail ring styles. When going with yellow gold, find a ring with big emeralds or amethyst stones for an eye-catching accessory. Another big trend is a white gold ring with a huge black or peacock Tahitian pearl sitting up in a high setting.
Remember, when you put on a huge pair of chandelier earrings or a cocktail ring, you don't need many other accessories, if any at all. The purpose of these oversized pieces is for them to make a bold statement on their own. Don't be afraid to go a little bit crazy with accessories like this. A lot of times, the bolder you go, the greater the impact!
