Costume jewellery is well and truely back in this season, as with most of this trends it was first seen last season on the catwalks of London, Milan, New York and Paris. The top designers are the pioneers of the costume jewellery revolution with the high street not far behind. The costume jewellery that has hit our high street recently is more gairish and loud than ever before. This seems to be running alongside the 80's revolution that is in the full swing currently. The costume jewellery released this week is chunkier and more substantial than ever before. The bangles are far more substantial and the necklaces are in a much more of a "choker" sytle.
fashion jewellery & cuff jewellery
In the fashion jewellery stakes the trends are very similar and once again the desingers lead the way. The jewellery is matching the clothing out there the colours are bright and vibrant and the sizes are bigger and bigger. This other thing that is occuring in the jewellery market is that the prices are far more reasonable than ever before. This maybe driven by the economic down turn at the moment, or could be beacuse the raw materials to make this fashion jewellery is cheaper than ever.
Also hitting the shops this season are the cuff style of jewellery, this is normally very chunky and makes a big bold statement. The cuff jewellery is very popular with the younger generation. The nice thing about this style of jewellery is that is can be worn with almost anything. If goes well with your jeans or equally it can look just as good with you best party frock.
