Hot Jewelry Looks

Though style is a highly individual thing, it's fun to innovate your personal look as trends come and go. Below is our all-new guide to fashion for the immediate future -- 2010 and beyond -- so you can be sure to find styles that make you look and feel good--and maybe have a little fun while you're at it.

The jewelry outlook for 2010: Bright with a chance of sparkle. Flirty, oversized accessories incorporating materials like crystals ,feathers ,ribbons , metallics and beads  are back in style, along with vivid, juicy colors inspired by a riotous summer flowerbed--or perhaps a Fruit Roll-Up .

For this season, think costume  or fashion jewelry : chandelier earrings , antique styling and faux bling. Over-the-top is my favorite style, which is lucky for me, because this season, fallalery is back in a big way.

Bold and Beautiful

Below are a few searches for this year's hottest jewelry trends.

Cocktail Rings 

Piecey, dramatic cocktail rings with large stones became popular during the raucous days of the American Prohibition, and with winter in fast retreat, I can't think of a better way to welcome sunny spring days--other than a trip to the beach and a mojito, of course.

Our pick:

Necklaces 

Update your wardrobe with a statement necklace, a large, unique jewelry item that boldly asserts your diva-hood. Layered necklaces  featuring multiple chains  and bib necklaces  showcasing ribbons ,  feathers ,fringe  and everything in between make a big impact this year. 

Our picks:

Bracelets 

This year, cuffs  and chain links  bracelets are literally huge on runways, showcasing large stones and colors evocative of the brightest, most artificially flavored candy. Wear a big cuff bracelet stacked in multiples or rock one on each arm.  Find your match in brassy metals, delicate florals or sophisticated leather.

Our pick:

  

Watches 

Digital styles with spikes of color are up for watch trends. With Kanye West-ism and eighties style in vogue, neons  and similarly bright colors are the ultimate for timepieces, while more feminine options feature chunky chain links  and sterling silver .

Our pick:

Swarovski Crystal 

Precision-cut crystal cuts a lot of ice this year. Sparkly, bright and delicate, Swarovski  crystals are a charming and luxurious option for the shopper with a little extra cash in her wallet.

Our picks:

Chandelier Earrings 

This year, bigger is better. Inspired by antique looks, chandelier earrings add drama, mystique and sexiness to any outfit, and can be incorporated with a cornucopia of multi-colored stones. Large earrings (like hoops ) and colorful baubles will brighten up any cloudy spring  morning.
