Trends In Diamond Jewelry 2010
The Bolder the Better
The Bolder the Better
This year its all about bold jewelry pieces. 2010 jewelry is designed to be noticed and to stand out, as opposed to last years more delicate
diamond jewelry pieces, which were styled in graceful and understated designs. Small colorless diamonds are out and big stunning colorful diamonds, gemstones and birthstones are in, single toned metal jewelry is replaced with pieces that are made from a variety of precious metals and the traditional yellow and white gold jewelry is traded for pieces composed of colorful gold, which comes in an amazing rainbow of colors (including red, rose, green, black purple, etc.) Layering is key where 2010 jewelry trends are concerned. Layering colorful diamond necklaces with colorful gold necklaces or pairing sleek cuff bracelets with playful diamond charm bracelets is a great way of adding a splash of color and whimsy to almost any outfit.
Chunky and Funky
This years collection of bold jewelry includes funky chunky pieces such as chunky diamond encrusted bangles, large, 80s style, gold earrings, rings mounted with oversized diamonds and gemstones, chains hung with intricately designed hefty diamond pendants and thick, eye-catching, mulct-colored link necklaces. These chunky creations wont necessarily weigh heavily on your neck or on your wallet. New and innovative jewelry manufacturing techniques make it possible for designers to create chunky looking, relatively light pieces. By using light weighing semi-precious, cheaper metals such as copper, silver and aluminum, and then plating them with precious metals such as high karat gold, platinum and palladium, a jeweler can produce a relatively inexpensive, heavy-looking light weighing piece. In addition, setting the piece with glass beads and rhinestones in place of diamonds would help lighten the load, so you, as a consumer, can achieve the funky chunky look without exceeding your budget.
Eco-Friendly Jewelry
A hot 2010 diamond jewelry trend includes eco-friendly pieces, made with recycled metals, rough, un-cut and un-polished diamonds and designed in a naturalistic style. As our awareness for eco-friendly materials has grown over the past couple of years, so has our demand for eco-friendly jewelry. More and more jewelry consumers are opting for the rough, unpolished look of eco-friendly bracelets, earrings, rings and necklaces, which incorporate rough diamonds which have not undergone enhancement treatments. Rough diamond jewelry has a rustic, naturalistic look to it, which is both appealing and cost-efficient. Since eco-friendly jewelry is made with relatively inexpensive materials such as recycled metals and rough, unaltered diamonds, it costs less to procure than polished diamond jewelry would.
Unisex Jewelry
Unisex jewelry is a clear 2010 fashion favorite. Large diamond encrusted watches, stunning diamond stud earrings, slim chain necklaces and sleek platinum rings have become exceedingly popular amongst both men and women. These pieces are cleverly designed to blur the line between the two sexes, making it possible for women to wear larger pieces which would previously have been thought of as more appropriate for men, and men to wear jewelry which is a little more sleek and elegant, pieces which may have been once considered as a little too feminine.
Hip Hop Jewelry
Perhaps the flashiest, most ostentatious 2010 trend, hip hop jewelry was made to resemble the bling that hip hop stars usually wear around their necks, on their ears or flashing off of their hands. The flashier the better is the motto behind these diamond creations. Big diamond encrusted pendants hanging off of chunky chain necklaces, earrings mounted with a multitude of pave set, sparkling diamonds and rings encrusted with an array of brilliant diamonds and precious gemstones are all the rage when it comes to this years jewelry trends.
