Jewelry Trends for Spring 2012

 

Part of looking your best this spring is knowing which jewelry trends are “in” this season.  Here are some fashion jewelry trends to look for:

18K ROSE GOLD OVER STERLING SILVER, BANGLE BRACELET

More is more: When it comes to stacking on the bangles and bracelets, more really is better.  Stacks of layered bangles are a great way to add flare to any occasion, especially since bangles are available in almost any color, style, or material you could hope for.

MATISSE, STERLING SILVER, PINK AMETHYST GEMSTONE EARRINGS

Color-blocking: One of the new jewelry trends to watch for is color-blocking.  The trend of color-blocked fashion is no longer limited to fabric and has migrated to accessories as well.  Earrings, necklaces, and bracelets in bold and bright colors are showing up all over.  Vivid gemstones with big rectangular blocks of color are a simple but impressive way to make a statement; oversized rectangular rings can also make a powerful fashion statement.  When choosing colors to carry out this jewelry trend, keep in mind that pink and orange are two of the hottest colors this season.

ORIANO, 14K YELLOW GOLD, FRESHWATER CULTURED PEARL STRAND

Pretty things all around: The jewelry trends this spring are also favoring jewelry with a decidedly feminine flare.  Crystals, flowers, and pearls are the perfect way to dress up any outfit as the weather turns warmer.

LOVE KNOT, 14K WHITE GOLD DIAMOND EARRINGS, 1/4 CTW.

Long and Lean: Long, linear necklaces and earrings are also recognized as one of the jewelry trends right now.  Vertical, dangling earrings create a nice focal point with a special occasion dress.  Bold, gold statement pieces or yellow, white, and rose (especially Y-style) necklaces add instant drama; chandelier earrings with elegant, cultured, freshwater pearls add a touch of sophistication to your look.

Meet the Amethyst

Amethyst, a type of quartz, is the birthstone for February and comes in shades of lilac, purple and mauve.  Throughout history this type of stone has been valued for its beauty and has been used to create jewelry worn by healers and bishops alike.  It is still valued today and is used to create dazzling pieces that can add a bit of intrigue to any outfit.

STERLING SILVER, AMETHYST AND DIAMOND RING

This unique and mysterious gem has been a beautiful choice in fashion jewelry throughout the ages and that continues to be the case today.  It is also widely known to celebrate several anniversaries!  For example, the amethyst is the anniversary gift in celebration of the 4th, 6th, and 33rd year of marriage.  What an exciting gift to celebrate your love for each other!

 

MATISSE, STERLING SILVER, GREEN AMETHYST GEMSTONE PENDANT

The word “amethyst” comes from the Greek meaning “without drunkenness” or “not intoxicated,” and popular belief at one time held that this stone can protect the wearer from becoming drunk and from poison.  In Ancient Egypt, this stone was used to guard against feelings of guilt and fear.  Later it was believed to provide protection from self-deception and against witchcraft.  Amethyst has long been a favorite gem worn by healers who believed that it would help focus their healing powers.  Other miraculous powers have been attributed to it throughout history as well; it was said to protect crops against tempests and locusts, bring victory in war and good fortune in hunting, drive out evil spirits, and inspire intellect.

STERLING SILVER, AMETHYST AND DIAMOND EARRINGS

Symbolically, amethyst has been used to represent piety, humility, sincerity, friendship, and spiritual wisdom.  Some Catholic bishops still wear it today for those reasons.

Like other types of quartz, the amethyst has a hardness of seven, and a moderate refraction.  However, unlike other types of quartz, amethyst has its own unique crystal structure.  The construction is stratified, resulting in areas of varying color intensity.  When heated, amethyst changes its color.  At 250 degrees Fahrenheit, smoky stones are transformed into a shining yellow or brownish red.  At 400 degrees, clear stones can become yellow.

Visit Samuels Jewelers for all of your jewelry needs and amethyst sparkle.   Do you know your birthstone if you are not a February baby? Be sure to check out our blog, “Birthstones by Month List” to find your gem!

Difference between White and Yellow Gold Jewelry

Yellow gold and white gold are popular metals for a variety of jewelry, especially engagement rings.  What’s the difference between yellow gold and white gold? Glad you asked!

14K YELLOW GOLD, DIAMOND HOOP EARRINGS, 1.00 CTW.

Yellow is the natural color of gold as a pure element.  Unfortunately, as a pure element, gold is a very soft metal, which isn’t always the best choice for making long-lasting jewelry.  To make the metal harder and better suited for jewelry, an alloy of other metals is often added.  In addition to making gold more durable, adding an alloy can also alter the color of the gold.  To make white gold, an alloy of palladium and nickel is added to the gold.

 

10K YELLOW GOLD AND STERLING SILVER, DIAMOND FASHION PENDANT, 1/2 CTW.

 

When you are looking at yellow gold rings or other gold jewelry, it is helpful to understand that the “karat” tells how much alloy of other metals is used.  The higher the karat, the closer to pure it is.  For example, 24k is as close to pure gold as you can get, 18k gold is 75% gold and 25% alloy, etc.  Interestingly, one might assume that yellow gold is always the most expensive because it is “purer” than white gold, but that’s not always the case.  Sometimes white gold is more expensive than yellow gold because it can be difficult to fabricate.

NATASHA K, 14K YELLOW GOLD DIAMOND BRIDAL SET, 4.00 CTW.

 

If you are trying to decide whether you prefer a yellow gold engagement ring or one of white gold, there are a few things to keep in mind.  First, remember that 24k gold is not always the best choice for an engagement ring that will be worn all the time because it can become scratched easier than a lower karat yellow gold or white gold.  Also, keep your wardrobe and other jewelry in mind; if most of your jewelry (especially pieces that you wear frequently, like a favorite necklace or a watch) is white or yellow, consider rings that match most of your other jewelry.

Hot Jewelry Pieces for 2012

Now that a new year has begun, you might be wondering which jewelry pieces will be trendy in 2012.  Some of the fashion jewelry trends from 2011 will continue, while some new surprises will make their way into the spotlight this year.

STERLING SILVER, DIAMOND AND BLUE TOPAZ GEMSTONE RING

Big, bold jewelry was the hottest thing around in 2011, and that trend will likely continue this year.  Bold colors like turquoise, tangerine, and orange are already showing up on runways, so don’t be afraid to bring some flair to your outfits by adding some bright colors with the jewelry you’re wearing.  The collar necklace and statement earrings are another way to make a big statement with your accessories.  Unique, bold earrings help draw attention to your beautiful face while also showcasing your personality and sense of style.

 

 

Gemstone Necklace

Layering your jewelry findings is another trend that began last year and is continuing strong this year.  Layering two or three single-strand necklaces creates a look that can be kept casual by wearing shorter necklaces or dressier by wearing longer ones.  Being able to mix-and-match gives this look flexibility and helps keep your look fresh.

 

 

 

ANGELINA, 14K WHITE GOLD DIAMOND BRIDAL SET, 1.00 CTW.

A new emerging trend in 2012 is the return of classic jewelry.  Elegant diamonds and pearls are back in style.  Matching jewelry sets are a great way to make the most of classic designs in the upcoming seasons.  Along with classic looks, vintage jewelry also makes its way onto the center stage this year.  You can search out vintage pieces, or find newer versions that have been inspired by the vintage look but also have the benefit of being fresh and up-to-date.

Flash Back – The Trendy Celebrity Fashion Jewelry of 2011

 

 

Sterling Silver, 1/4 ctw. Enhanced Black and White Diamond Earrings

As we move into 2012, let’s take a look back at the celebrity fashion jewelry trends of 2011.  Earrings were one of the most notable fashion jewelry trends of 2011.  Celebrities such as Natalie Portman and Lea Michele strolled the red carpet sporting a variety of earrings ranging from beaded dangles to dazzling diamonds and gemstone drops to vintage-style earrings and classic diamond studs.  Old-fashioned feathered earrings and classic drop earrings also made appearances throughout the year.

Necklaces were another trend worthy of attention in 2011.  Necklines were beautifully dressed in a variety of ways.  Oversized stone necklaces looked amazing with the dresses that were worn at awards ceremonies throughout the year, and thick, gold chain necklaces also made a bold statement.

Sterling Silver, Cuff Bracelet

Bracelets also couldn’t be ignored in 2011.  Making a statement with what was worn on the wrists was the way to go.  Bold bangles worn in bunches were a popular style.  Contemporary, edgy bracelets also drew attention.  Chunky bracelets added a bit of fun to outfits worn by some of your favorite celebs during the year.

OrianO, Endless Freshwater Pearl Strand

Classic matching jewelry sets and pearls were another hit with celebrities in 2011.  Matching sets were used to tie the look of outfits together beautifully, and pearls were worn in ways that went well beyond the traditional classic single strand.  Actress Maria Menounos, for example, wore pearl drop earrings at the 2011 Golden Globes, and sophisticated lariat necklaces embellished with gemstones were also seen.

Big and bold were the way to go in 2011 and these trends will most likely continue in 2012.  Look to satisfy your 2012 jewelry trends at Samuels Jewelers.

Questions to Ask When Shopping for an Engagement Ring

 

 

So, you’ve decided it’s time to start shopping for an engagement ring, but you don’t really know where to begin.  There are a number of things to consider when looking at engagement rings, and it is helpful to know what kinds of questions to ask as you seek out the perfect ring.

ENCORE, 14K WHITE GOLD DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING, 1.00 CTW.

Quality: The quality of the diamond is incredibly important, and you should never hesitate to ask your jeweler about the quality of the diamonds before you purchase one.  A good place to start is with the four C’s: Cut, Clarity, Color, and Carat Weight.  The cut of the diamond relates to the angles of the facets of the stone.  The clarity describes the imperfections and visible flaws of a particular diamond.  The color is exactly what it sounds like – how close a diamond’s appearance is to colorless.  Carat weight relates to the size of the diamond.  The four C’s are a good place to start, but your questions about the quality of the diamond shouldn’t end there.  You should also ask whether the diamond is shallow or deep.  Does it have fluorescence?  And, is it an ideal cut?  It is also always a good idea to make sure that the diamond is certified. Read more about the 4 C’s here! 

CALISTA, 14K WHITE GOLD DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING, 3/4 CTW.

Style: While the quality of the diamond is important, it is equally important to keep style in mind as you shop.  Consider the geometric shape of the diamond (not just the cut) while you are looking.  Ask about the way different shaped diamonds would look in a variety of engagement ring settings to find something that best suits your needs.

Metals: Choosing a metal for diamond engagement rings is another aspect to consider.  Gold is traditional and is available in a variety of colors, such as yellow, white, and rose.  If you are looking for something a bit more durable than gold, consider platinum.  Ask your jeweler about the benefits of each kind of metal and how the metal choice might impact the style of the ring.  P4 Metal Jewelry is an incredible and fashionable ring, read more about P4  here.

All of these considerations will help you find a ring that is absolutely perfect for your significant other.  Don’t be afraid to ask you jeweler about anything that you find confusing or would like more information on before making your purchase – a good jeweler will be happy to answer all of your questions.

Tips for a Winter Wedding

While the summer months still tend to be the most popular choices for weddings, the sparkle of January makes it a wonderfully romantic backdrop for a wedding as well; plus, it is often easier to book the venue of your choice during this time of year.  Here are some tips for a Winter wedding to remember forever.

The crisp, clean glitter of freshly fallen snow lends itself to a variety of themes to set the mood for your wedding – Winter Wonderland, and fairy tales such as Snow White are popular choices.  The beginning of a New Year also lends itself to a theme of New Beginnings as you begin your lives together.  Early sunsets and sparkling landscapes make January the perfect time for a formal wedding with a Black and White theme.

Choose colors to complement your theme.  White, black, wine, champagne, burgundy, silver, and gold are all excellent choices, though pastels such as pink or mint are also beautiful in the winter months and add a softer touch to your wedding ambiance.

It might seem like your choices for flowers are limited by the season, but that’s not really the case.  Tulips, Calla Lilies, Carnations, Orchids, and Delphinium abound.  Single long-stemmed red roses can add a dramatic touch of color and romance to a Black and White wedding as well.

The key to making your wedding special during any month of the year is by adding a creative twist.  Consider some of these options.  Make your wedding stand out by taking advantage of the early sunset and having a candle lit service.  Use ice sculptures as center pieces at your reception.  Or, serve snowflakes made of sugar with your wedding cake for dessert.

Samuels Jewelers has all of your bridal jewelry needs.  Visit Samuels Jewelers stores to pick out the perfect engagement or wedding ring for the big day.
