Jewelry: Watch out for Watches this Season!

Before it was common for women to wear big earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings, women were wearing watches. However, watches were more of a necessity and a gadget of functionality more than anything else. Watches are now a huge part of women’s, and especially men’s, jewelry. They come in so many unique styles with interesting bands and faces. There are watch jewelry sets that feature interchangeable faces and bands for multiple looks! Furthermore, the watch has evolved from more than just a feature of the wrist. Watches have been put in the form of charms that can me put on bracelets or necklaces. Watch rings were even popular for some time. The point is that wearing a watch is not just about keeping time anymore. Watches are a full out accessory.

In my opinion watches on men and women are very classy. They can add a look of polish and sophistication to an already put together look. A watch can indicate a person who is intellectual and punctual. A watch can also be something entirely different. In the block buster hit formatted from book to screen, Twilight, Kristen Stewart wore a watch featuring a turquoise disk that concealed the face of the watch. In this situation the watch appeared as simply a bracelet on her character, Bella’s, wrist. The watch appeared to be a bracelet, but at anytime Bella could have checked her watch as not to be late for her vampire lover, Edward.

Whether you decide to wear your watch in the traditional way, on your wrist or around your neck, don’t be afraid to bring back watches to your jewelry collection! There is something for everyone these days when it comes to wearing a timepiece. Into charm bracelets? Add a watch charm to your charm bracelet! Do you like cz jewelry? Then you could throw a cubic zirconia jewelry watch into your jewelry collection too! Find what you like and don’t be afraid to show it off!

Jewelry: Sometimes Less is Still More

With all the bling and over the top jewelry landing on the necks, wrists, and ears of many of Hollywood’s hottest stars, it would seem as though simplistic jewelry pieces are a thing of the past. Surprisingly, this is not so. Simplistic jewelry and a more simplistic fashion style in general is still alive and very prominent in current fashion trends when you stop to look at certain celebrities’ jewelry choices. Take Deschanel who starred in the recent hit, 500 days of Summer, opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Deschanel who has also recently become engaged to the Ben Gibbard, lead singer of the band “Death Cab for Cutie” has become a fashion icon in the indie world. Her vintage style with a modern twist is the envy of every indie hipster girl. Her jewelry choices, like her fashion sense tends to also be on the simpler side, with of course some exceptions. Simple earrings and necklaces can give an air of sophistication and poise to any woman when we may not all look like the lovely Zooey Deschanel.

When done right, bold statement necklaces can draw positive attention, but if done wrong, the effect of the jewelry can be quite negative. You don’t want your jewelry to say, “Look at me! Look at me! I’m out of place and way too big!” Unfortunately, for some women it is harder to wear bold jewelry the correct way. Simple jewelry at its worst can be a bit understated and lackluster, but it is very rare for simple jewelry to draw much negative attention. This is due to the fact that simple jewelry is unlikely to be noticed so strongly due to its nature. This does not mean that simple jewelry does not have the ability to pack the punch. Simple jewelry often features pretty pendants that can add a lot to an outfit. Simple jewelry sets can be perfect for formal events and small simple earrings can have a brilliant effect as shimmering studs. Eva Longoria knows how to wear simple studs elegantly. It is true that celebrities wear diamonds and other pricy jewels, but you don’t have to spend as much as the stars to look as fantastic. There are many cubic zirconia jewelry alternatives that will be just as pretty and sparkly. The saying goes that “A diamond is a girl’s best friend”, but in today’s economy, Cz jewelry is a girl’s best friend! So, don’t be afraid to add simple jewelry to your jewelry collection. Simple pieces really can be the most elegant and impressive jewelry you will ever buy.
