Shopping Guide for Great Summer 2012 Jewelry Trends

The spring and summer of 2012 will be filled with eye-popping colors, bold accessories, and lots of big jewelry. You might be able to dig out some of that oversize jewelry from last summer’s stock, but if you’re starting fresh, that’s okay too. Just follow this guide to add the right accessories to your collection and stay fashionable all summer long.

First Things First – Get a Tiara
Maybe this seems strange, but the summer 2012 fashion trends include an ornamental tiara in the mix. Opt for thin, delicate designs with lots of sparkles and save them for special occasions. I can’t imagine this trend hitting the boardroom, if you know what I mean. You might be able to put a spin on this trend with a ring of flowers woven into an updo instead, but that’s up to you. In the meantime, there are lots of great tiaras to shop online.

Colorful, Semi-Precious Stones
As I said, color is big this summer. Add some flavor to your outfit with a collection of large beads in bold colors, either on a bracelet, anklet, or necklace. Pick out designs using plastic beads or semi-precious stones to get the most vivid colors. You can also choose to wear your beads on a belt or adorning a handbag, if you’d like to weave this trend throughout your look.

Great Big Earrings
Earrings are big too this season, so don’t be afraid to really go overboard here. Shop for large shapes that really draw the eye, and don’t forget to make sure they’re colorful too! While you shop for those new earrings, check out great styles like Ross-Simons chandelier earrings or tourmaline pendants or Judith Ripka’s oval drop earrings, just for starters.

Bracelets, Cuffs & Bangles
Summer fashion is all about what you’re wearing on your wrists this year. According to the experts at Ladies Park, designers are making multi-tiered bracelets in mixed colors and hefty materials. You’ll also find bracelets made of chains and pendants, thick bangles, or mixed materials like gold and leather. The more unique, the better this season, so take your pick from a wide range of unusual styles now available for sale. Again, I like selections from the Ross-Simons collection because of how colorful they are, but you can also shop some great bracelets by Blue Nile, Juicy Couture, and Carolyn Pollack.

Jewelry for summer 2012 is big, bright, and bold. Look for lots of mixed materials, vibrant color combinations, and multi-tiered designs. Whether you’re shopping necklaces, bracelets, or even tiaras, there are plenty of great options in style this summer to provide something for every personal taste.
