Jewelry Trend Alert: Flaunt Your Arm Candy

May 19, 2009

From oversized statement jewels to sunny yellow gold, the sizzling jewelry trends of the season are nothing if not dramatic. But the latest must-have look is all in the wrist.

Bangles:

Marc Jacobs put them elbow-deep on Madonna for those amazing Louis Vuitton ads, and the fashion world followed suit. There's no better way to add a little 'clink' to your closet than with layered bangles in every color of the rainbow. Or go for a classic yellow gold set like Kate Hudson to make that swimwear sizzle or the board room shine.

Cuffs:

Getting cuffed never looked this good. From Halle Berry to First Lady, Michelle Obama, the easy-to-wear jewelry style is making a big splash this season. While most wrist wear jewels are a slim single strand, cuffs cover more square footage, giving women that highly coveted 'big look for the buck'. And they go with just about any outfit - from girls night out garb to jeans and a tank.

Charms:

Charm bracelets have been in demand since 500 BC, when the ancients carved gems and rocks into animal symbols and wore them to woo the gods. Thank heavens they've come a long way since then, with celebs like Gwen Stefani and Nicole Richie adding them to their accessory lines and fashionistas collecting them like Manolos and Birkin bags. Create a charm bracelet to remind you of family, to reflect your personality, or to show off your world travels. And Jewelry.com has a treasure chest full of them to help you get the look that's right for you or your loved one.

So whether you're cute and cuffed, brightly bangled, or living a charmed life, it's time to get in touch with your inner Madonna and flaunt your arm candy in style. (If you've got a cute boyfriend half your age like Madge, that qualifies too!)
