What is latest in fashion – gemstone or diamond jewelry?

ruby set

 

While diamonds remain for many, a prized possession, fine gemstone jewelry has a far greater appeal to many fashion buffs these days. The bright colors in fashion are well translated by gemstone jewelry. Gemstone jewelry has a timeless appeal that adds an extra zing to your wardrobe. It can change any regular outfits into noticeable and chic attires. Sapphire, ruby, and emerald are the three big stones in the world of gemstones, which are quite versatile and compliment any look. Tanzanite's and aquamarines are also in vogue these days and match any possible style you want to carry.

These days, gemstone jewelry is typically worn as a fashion trend. Anything from stud earrings to an engagement ring or a wedding band all can be set with these stunning stones. Some choose the elegant gemstone jewelry according to their birthstone while some adorn these because of their sheer beauty.

At the Golden Globes awards and at the film festival at Cannes this year, many stunning celebrities were seen flaunting gemstone jewelry. Megan Fox was seen sporting yellow gold and emerald earrings at the Golden Globe Awards. Drew Barrymore donned moonstone and opal pendant earrings while Emily Blunt wore ruby earrings. Elizabeth Banks was also spotted in spectacular tanzanite earrings at Cannes this year.

Gemstones in classic settings are quite hot and in fashion these days. Eva Mendes wore a vintage necklace in turquoise and diamond to the Golden Globes. The necklace featured 132 blue turquoise gems accented by more than 36 carats of diamonds set in 18k yellow gold.

So let’s do it the celebrity style this season! Summer brings about lighter and more pastel hues in your wardrobe that can be accentuated by striking sapphires, romantic rubies, lush-green emeralds and cool aquamarines. You can choose the stone on the basis of the color you fancy. These are available in various hues and have their own uniqueness.

There are many standard and classic gemstone cuts like round, oval, pear, square, rectangular, princess or emerald which are used to build an exclusive piece of jewelry. Fancy cuts like emerald, princess, trillion and marquise are also in trend these days since they are uncommon and stylish.

If you wish to wear something unique and different then get adorned with incredible gemstone jewelry. You can make your pick from many gemstone jewelry designs and patterns. A large gemstone ring in sapphire, ruby, or emerald is a good option for an evening out. To give that flirty look to your floral dress sport those elaborate gemstone chandeliers. They’ll look truly engaging. An elegant gemstone pendant spices-up your persona if worn to a red carpet event and eases out that seriousness of an office wear.

While you wear gemstones, take pride to know that your gemstone jewelry is what everybody will be considering a hot new trend.

DO IT THE OSCAR STYLE!!!!

 

clip_image028Let’s have a look at this year’s Oscar trends. Statement pieces were the key trends at Oscar red carpet this year .Only a few went overboard and wore heavy jewelry. Most of them opted for statement pieces like wristclip_image002 cuffs, necklaces, rings etc. to look glamorous without being overdone.

Silver seemed to be the front runner this year. It took over gold completely. Most of the Celebs opted for it allowing most of you to go for a nice look by paying a fraction of the price.

clip_image006The message at this year’s Oscar was very clear. Keep it simple and classy. It will make you look graceful. Wear either a bracelet or a necklace but don’t wear them together. Don’t overdo anything. Being classy is the new mantra. From Kate Winslett to Taraji P Henson all kept it simple. Winslettclip_image004 went for elegant bracelets with diamond rings while Taraji went for a stunning diamond cuff style necklace. Freida Pinto’s diamond drop earrings were vintage pieces from her native India. Gone are the days when celebrities only focused on the clothes they wore at the Oscars. Jewelry has clip_image008become the new center of attraction. One celebrity who created rage as always is Angelina Jolie . What she wore was a simple strapless black gown but the jewelry is what got all the attention. She appeared without any necklace or bracelets. She chose to wear large vibrant emerald drops complementing it with a matching emerald ring, looking absolutely marvelous and stunning. clip_image018

clip_image012

A few celebrities went wrong too. For instance take Heidi Klum. She wore multiple bracelets with large earrings, completely overdoing it, which is a complete no no!!!! Among the male celebrities no bracelets were noticed. Except Mickey Rourke and a few others no male celebritiy wore any jewellery other than the usual cuff links. Pitt showed off some fancy metallic buttons on his shirt. Rourke flaunted a pendant around his neck bearing a photo of hisclip_image014 deceased pet Loki the Chihuahua. A few others wore a simple silver brooch on their tuxedo lapels.

It’s clear from the Oscar this year that jewellery is the center of attraction now. So those who are going for the Oscar style should remember simplicity is the style statement. Don’t overdo it.

Jewelry To Suit Your Taste

Emerald Pendant Don't we all like to wear what suits our taste and preference. Whether clothes or jewelry, it must be in sync to our personal style and liking. Each time you sport something you don't really find agreeable, you are visibly uncomfortable. So why not don something that will make you look and feel at ease, apart from adding to your style quotient.

This is true as much in clothes as in jewelry. If you prefer jewelry that is subtle you will definitely not feel at ease wearing an elaborate piece. It would be wise to stick to smaller and more basic piece. You can choose studs and solitaires in diamonds or colored gemstones of your choice. It would not be a bad idea to experiment with a combination of the two as long as its not jazzy and suits your style.

On the other hand for those of you who love ornate jewelry, something large and lavish would work best. Multi-stone and multi-colored jewelry would compliment your fancy persona. Colored gemstones will for sure add color while diamonds will help with their dazzle. You can even go for yellow gold jewelry that is chunky and conspicuous.
