Jewelry Trends 2011

A glance at 2011 Jewelry Trends
(Hope its not too late to post about the latest trends:)

Fashion jewelry trends 2011 forecasts that jewelry will be bigger and bolder. If you really think about it, the right jewelry is like a piece of expensive art. It has the ability to make you look sleek and sophisticated. This season "less is not more", but "more is more". Statement jewelry is very trendy this year. In the case of oversized jewelry, this characteristic becomes even more powerful since it can be a complete fashion statement on its own. From complex, structural geometric patterns to more colorful and summery designs oversized jewelry will take a variety of different forms in the following season. One of the most important things that you should remember is to wear only one trend at a time. Do not wear stacked bangles with a statement necklace. Only one single piece of jewelry is sufficient to make you look fashionable.


Statement necklaces just got bigger and bolder this season with huge stones and funky designs. Wear a statement necklace that just sits on your collar bone as anything longer than that is so last season. A bib necklace with a mix of stones is just right for this season. Wearing unique mixed media multi layered chain necklace or layered chains is one of the biggest jewelry trends this season which is quite hard to miss.


Jewelry trends 2011 forecasts the return of chandelier earrings. Earrings this season are long, almost shoulder grazers. Large hoop earrings will also be popular jewelry trends spring summer 2011.


A cocktail ring is a must have in any fashionistas wardrobe. Chunky cocktail rings that are big enough to graze your knuckles are what we are talking about.


Materials: A mix of metals like bronze, silver, gold, dull gold and rose finish will be the highlight this season. Metals like gold and silver are popular, but you can also try bronze and copper as a cheaper option. Unlike only precious stones of last season, semi precious stones ranging from amethyst, coral, garnet peridot, coral, aquamarine and tourmaline are in this season. Natural products, leather, wood, bone, enamel, Feathers, ribbons, lace, tassels, Swarovski crystals, glass and pearls are also popular.

Colors: Vivid colors like red tomatoes, plum, aubergine, bright yellow, indigo, blue, khaki, and chocolate brown for ethnic/folk inspired styles. Turquoise, coral and green & blue colors in various shades are the hues for floral/fauna inspired jewelry. For Military/Urban/Futuristic style jewelry, smoke and metallic colors, gray, black, white, army green and acid yellow are in. Soft tones like pink powder, skin colors, lavender, beige and gray green for the more romantic Vintage & Retro styles. While any color scheme or materials can be used in recycled jewelery.

Motifs: Animals, flowers, butterflies and clover , designs inspired by African tribes and folklore, power symbols such as snakes, cats and panthers, sea creatures and starfish.

  1. Hey there, From what I can see, you are spot-on with your trends. The one thing I can see tying all of these trends together, is that jewelry is becoming more of a statement, more creative. Maybe in this tought economy people are craving more bang for there buck. Thanks for the info.

  4. Wow, this was a very informative post! Those necklaces you featured are just gorgeous - I don't think either is my style to wear or create, but they're beautiful. :) At least my jewelry will fit in with the year's trendy motifs, even if they're totally out of fashion otherwise!
