A popular accessories trend for the upcoming season is layers, but not only in necklaces. Many celebrities and fashionistas can be seen wearing a bold combination of medium to wide bracelets in multiples on their wrists. It’s a fantastic look to pair fun and funky metallics like gold, copper and bronze with sparkly gemstones and the soft femininity of pearls. Just remember that if you are going to make a big statement with your bracelets, take it easy on your other accessories. You don’t want to look like a walking jewelry store! One big, bold statement is all you need when it comes to fashion. Here are some great bracelets I found online:

Chocolate Pearl Bracelet

This is a simply fabulous bracelet that I need to pick up for myself! It is beautifully embellished with the ever popular chocolate pearls, white freshwater pearls and other sparkling gemstones. It has a gorgeous wide cuff design and is perfect to wear dressed up for a night out or with jeans and tank top on the weekend.

The layered silver and turquoise bangles in varying widths and sizes together for a fantastic look. This layered look is so easy and affordable to achieve but showcase how important the details are!

Layered Pearls

This picture is the perfect example of how to layer pearl bracelets. There are white, ivory and rose colored pearls in different sizes layered with other sparkly, gemstone embellished bracelets. This is a great, feminine look that you can wear with just about any outfit and is so easy and affordable to achieve.

Everything for the new fashion season is warm and inspired by nature. That’s one of the reasons that chocolate pearls are so hot right now. These rich, brown and copper colored pearls were once considered low quality, never to be sold in stores. With the bad economy and changes in fashion trends, that has all changed. Marketing geniuses have turned this bottom-of-the-barrel pearl into fashion gold.

These chocolate pearls are gorgeous and are sure to catch people’s attention wherever you happen to wear them. Here are some great pieces I came across that you should check out!

Brooch

A piece of pearl jewelry like this is a very unexpected place for a gorgeous chocolate pearl. This simple and elegant design would be the perfect addition to a blazer for a day at the office or an elegant touch on an evening gown.

Earrings

These are a great pair of earrings that are perfect for everyday wear. They are simple enough to pair with any outfit but still exciting! You can see how beautiful the chocolate pearls are with yellow gold. Luxurious!

Sarah Jessica Parker

We can always look to Sarah Jessica Parker for fashion inspiration on and off the red carpet. Here she is wearing a gorgeous double strand of chocolate pearls. You can see how easy it is to wear these pearls casual. Chocolate pearls are really versatile and a great addition to any jewelry collection!

The new year is almost upon us and with it comes a new fashion season. There are some jewelry trends to keep your eye out for in 2010. Here is number 1 through 5 along with some ways to wear them:

1. Large cuff bracelets - These are a great accessory for just about any outfit. Ones like the picture are popular for 2010. Any type of hammered metal like gold or bronze is a must have. You can also find cuff bracelets with gemstones or in fun shapes like leaves or snakes.

2. Chocolate Pearls – These rich, warm brown pearls are a hot trend for 2010. What woman wouldn’t want pearls and chocolate rolled into one fantastic accessory? Pieces of pearl jewelry like this necklace below is a great addition to any wardrobe. The necklace shown below is strands of chocolate pearls woven with traditional white pearls. Chocolate pearls are easy to dress up with a gown, down with a pair of jeans or to with a blazer to the office.

3. Metallic Jewelry – Since the price of precious metals like gold and platinum have skyrocketed, jewelry designers are turning to other metals like bronze, brass and copper. These metals have a very warm tone to them and can add a lot of texture to jewelry. A popular trend is charm necklaces, like the one shown below. They have fun shapes and baubles that dangle from a long chain.

4. Chocolate Diamonds – Much like the chocolate pearls, another popular trend for 2010 is chocolate diamonds. These are diamonds with a rich, brown color that look fabulous when paired with white diamonds and yellow gold. It is a fun and different twist on traditional diamonds that can add a little bit of luxury and flair to your jewelry box.

5. Nature-inspired Accessories – With everything being focused on the environment these days, this attention is also being recognized in the jewelry world. Accessories like snake rings and cuffs, leaf designs, green, yellow and brown gemstones and natural stones can be found everywhere you look this season. Check out this cool snake ring that can add some attitude to your everyday look!
