Sometimes it can be hard to figure out which fabrics and textures go with what. With so many fashion and accessory options, it can be a hit or miss. But this season, there seems to be a lot of focus on CZ jewelry. Not only is Cubic Zirconia a lot less budget friendly, it allows you the freedom to wear over-the-top and glammed up pieces that are fun and free-spirited.

With the rise of the statement necklace, bold bangles bracelets and oversize earrings, Cubic Zirconia gemstones are anything buy low-key. Instead, they are powerful pieces that can elevate your mood and your style as they create conversation and evoke “oohs” and “aahs” from your girlfriends. If you do plan on wearing some of these maximum impact accessories, plan on pairing them with items from your wardrobe that compliment, and don’t compete with their glam and glitz.

Cubic Zirconia set in metal can look very heavy. A good way to balance this is with fabrics that are soft and feminine, like silk, satin and chiffon. Lightweight blouses paired with heavy jewelry play well together and create the perfect contrast. On the other hand, if you are plan on wearing heavy sweaters or tunics, go for Cubic Zirconia that is delicate and feminine. Add a cocktail ring, a great pair of chandelier earrings or a long pendant necklace.

Some CZ jewelry utilizes texture as part of the design. Nature inspired pieces with earthy elements like leaves and delicate branches are a huge hit this season. Hammered metal also helps to create something a little unexpected. Paired with rhinestones, this is the perfect Cubic Zirconia jewelry combination for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. If you already have pieces in your jewelry box that you love, then try mixing and matching those with some of these modern Cubic Zirconia baubles to show your personal sense of style.

This year, style setters like Sandra Bullock and Michelle Obama have been spotted in beautiful bold necklaces in combinations of colored pearls and rhinestones. College aged girls are pairing traditional pearl necklaces with edgier pieces that sparkle and shine. Working women are incorporating bodacious baubles like pearl and rhinestone broaches when choosing their daily look. However they're worn, these eclectic and fun combinations are budget friendly and fashion forward. So we salute this rise of CZ jewelry and anxiously anticipate what's next.CZ jewelryWhat woman doesn't want to look her at best? CZ jewelry, paired with pearls is a perfect combination for creating a pulled together, yet fun look. Traditionally, pearl jewelry has been thought of as proper and prim, even boring. But when you pair pearls with CZ jewelry, suddenly, there's a different spin on a classic favorite.

There's really no wrong way to wear this look. If you have pearls in your jewelry box that you've inherited from your mother or grandmother, consider updating them by mixing with CZ jewelry. Look for pieces set in oxidized silver with black or clear rhinestones. You can try layering necklaces or bracelets to create a unique combination. Play around with different wardrobe options as well. You might find that you like wearing this combo to the office, or maybe it's better for dressing up a t-shirt.

Pearls and Cubic Zirconia jewelry have an aura of retro, but they also look a little rock and roll. Don't be afraid to try small touches of each, if you're not sure of how the style would work on you. On the other hand, if you're ready to dive head first into this one, then try incorporating different textures as well. CZ jewelry comes in all forms and settings – everything from metal to ribbon can be used to create an interesting and fashion forward design.

An Odd Assortment

October 26, 2009 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - Bestsellers in Jewelry

Ah... the air is getting colder. . . I love this time of Autumn when the leaves are changing everywhere and the air is nippy in the morning. I'm looking forward to next weekend when we "fall back" and set our clocks back an hour since when I leave at 6:45 in the morning it is as dark as can be. I actually like the feeling that I am getting a jump on the day, but it does make the day seem especially long.
The jewelry pieces here are a motley group, no real theme, just pieces made because the gemstones intrigued me usually.
Above, you see an iolite bracelet (iolites are also known as the "water sapphire") with 5 strands of iolites and one silver-laced lentil bead that has a hint of purple along with the blue. The clasp is a large oval box clasp set with a cabochon rainbow moonstone that has a beautiful blue glow almost every way that you look. These multi-strand bracelets look especially good with blouses and sweaters with 3/4 length sleeves since every strand will show.
Below, a prehnite and tourmalinated quartz bracelet has three large, gorgeous lampwork beads as focals. They glitter and shine in the light and make a huge statement. All accents are sterling silver.
Below is a bracelet of London blue topaz; I dearly love London blue topazes and have quite a few pieces featuring these lovely dark blue topazes. They are rather hard to come by - the deeply coloured gem-quality ones, that is. And those are the only ones that I really care for. This blue topaz bangle also has Karen Hill Tribes beads from Thailand and a sterling toggle clasp.
Next, a necklace made with some unusual gemstones; they are amethysts, but they are large roughly hewn amethysts nuggets that have been sanded to give them an earthy look, sometimes almost a frosty look. Not only is purple one of Fall's most "in" colours this year, but huge chunky necklaces were worn by a majority of the models on the runways during New York Fashion Week.
Finally, the last two pieces are a bracelet and a pair of earrings, both featuring rose quartz. The bracelet has lovely artist's lampwork beads that pick up the pink beautifully; the earrings are made from some of my favorite rectangular faceted rose quartz beads.
