Current Trends In Jewelry

Current Trends In Jewelry

Jewelry has its trends and its stages in fashion too. What are the current trends in America? Interestingly enough, it doesn't seem to depend on what age group you're looking at. Across the board, for virtually all ages, brooches or pins have almost entirely left the world of accessories. While many women still have many pins in their collections, they are rarely seen in comparison to the frequency of seeing earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets.

As for earrings, it seems that earrings have seen the most change in jewelry fashions in recent years. The small studs, small hoops and occasional small dangles are being replaced with oversized dangle earrings. These earrings are not like the old fashion of oversized hoops; this current fashion is for oversized dangles, not oversized in length, but in width. 

Everyday wear rings have not changed drastically in recent years, at least not in style. Styles are similar, although an important change to note is the frequency of platinum that is now being used. Traditionally, platinum was often used for wedding or engagement rings, now it is still used for both of those types of rings, but there are also a lot of simple gemstone rings that are platinum. Another current jewelry trend, in wedding bands only, is to have a solid band of diamonds instead of a solid band of gold or platinum. More and more women are choosing this style of wedding band; it can be seen on the fingers of many recent American brides.

While the world of mens fashion does indeed change little by little, it is nowhere near as erratic as the world of womens fashion. In fact, if a girl is to stay on top of the fashion world week after week, she may end up spending thousands of dollars in clothes each and every month.
