Trend alert- updates for your jewelry box.

These are the trends that I see people wearing...

Stud earrings- do these reflect the difficult economic times?  The high price of gold and other precious metals?  No matter the reason, there are fantastic stud earrings out there now.

Crystals- again, are these a reflection of difficult economic times?  Crystals give a mighty rock shock for much less than precious stones.  Agate, a cryptocrystaline form of quartz, is very popular now sliced and dyed.

Line bracelets- also known as tennis bracelets- with larger stones...more of them on the red carpet, worn simply.  Check out this beauty, designed by Angelia Jolie...do you think the increased security in Columbia has resulted in more fine emeralds showing up in jewels?
