2010 is truly the year of diamonds and fashion jewelry.  Due to the economic recession, it may seem like people have less money to spend on diamond engagement rings and fashion- but there are so many alternative options to spice up your look!  Fashionable jewelry is a great way to add something new and special to your look without investing in an entirely new wardrobe.  Diamonds are always in style, but this season colorful gems are making a splash with their rich hues and fun and funky styles.

As the summer winds to a close, bright gemstones are still wonderful to keep the summer sparkle in your look.  Floral prints have been very popular this season, and a colorful gemstone necklace can dress up even the most casual dress and make it appropriate for nighttime or even for work with a black blazer on top.

For fall 2010, warm gemstone hues are the way to go.  Donning an oversized cocktail ring in the evening will draw attention in a classy way to your overall outfit.  If you already wear your diamond engagement ring on a regular basis, this will only serve to compliment it.  If you are looking for a gift for your trendiest friend- look no further than the cocktail ring.  You may want to choose something in a warm chocolate hue to compliment any skin tone.  Gemstone jewelry in warm chocolate tones are the perfect way to transition any wardrobe into a fall feeling.  If you are looking for a special gift and you would like to give someone a piece of jewelry to last a lifetime, then a cocktail ring with a brown hued diamond is the perfect choice.

Also available and popular for the fall season are rose-colored gemstones and diamonds.  All ladies have a weakness for pink and a weakness for diamonds, so what better way to kill two birds with one stone than with a rose colored diamond?  These colors are popular as earrings or pendant necklaces.  A beautiful drop rose-colored diamond earring is complimentary for any facial structure.  And the color of the diamond with its faint or even deep pink is beautiful with warm fall colored clothing and it will look gorgeous in front of a backdrop of fall leaves and gusty winds marking a transition into the breezy autumn weather.

Of course, the jewelry that is always in style is the classic diamond.  If you are looking for a gift for a friend of yours who has the classic Jackie-O or Audrey Hepburn style (and your budget allows it) then a diamond is the best option.  Diamond engagement rings are not the only choice in this category.  Diamonds are always in style and literally last a lifetime because of their natural chemical strength.  When you are in the market for a diamond gift, or a colored diamond- make sure you compare your options and price compare.

Once you are drawn to a certain stone or color- have fun with your jewelry!  This season is all about matching bold solids with prints, and pretty delicate stones with big chunky necklaces.  Layering your necklaces or buying a gift that can easily be incorporated into someone’s pre-existing jewelry collection is a great way to spice up the season.  Diamonds and gems are not just for engagement rings- they can be worn and treasured by all!

A woman’s wedding day is one of the most important days of her life- not to mention the most photographed!  Many women work especially hard to beautiful themselves before the big day because they are well aware that the photos of them from the big day will last for generations.  But maintaining a healthy lifestyle and preparing physically for the wedding is only one piece of the puzzle.  In order to look truly dazzling the bride must adorn herself with the perfect bridal jewelry to compliment her natural beauty and her wedding gown.

The fashion style of wedding jewelry differs depending on the personal style of the bride.  The jewelry can either be understated and add a bit of shine and sparkle to the bride, or it might take the main stage with a big chunky diamond necklace or a diamond cuff.  Either way, choosing the perfect wedding jewelry is one way to assure that the bride will be picture perfect on her wedding day.  There are a number of special pieces to choose from including: diamond pendant necklaces, diamond rings, cuffs and bangles, diamond or pearl earrings, or even a special tiara.

Diamond tiaras are one of the most unique pieces of bridal jewelry a woman can wear- because there usually isn’t an occasion to wear a tiara otherwise!  Unless the bride is a member of a royal family, her wedding day may be her one and only opportunity to wear such a beautiful piece of jewelry.  Princess such as the late Lady Dianna traditionally wear diamond and pearl tiaras on their wedding.  But ladies without royal blood also feel like princesses wearing tiaras on their wedding day.  Even wearing a tiara ontop of a chignon or an updo will add a special something to a bride’s wedding outfit.

Many brides tend to wear their hair up, which will allow for a beautiful pair of earrings to be displayed.  The bride may opt for a simple diamond stud, and depending on how large she wants the karat to be, it will span the gamut of prices.  Even a small diamond will add a bit of shine to your look, but a large pair of diamond studs with a clean cut will surely draw attention to the glowing bride.  Conversely diamond dangle earrings exude a sense of grace and refined beauty.  Dangling earrings are quite mature- and the bride my even opt for diamond dangles in a colored hue.  A light pink or even a light blue diamond will add a bit of color to the look without going overboard.  Typically, brides wear white gold or silver because that is most complimentary with a white dress and veil.

Depending on the neck line of the brides’ dress, a beautiful necklace can really add something special as well.  If you are wearing a strapless dress, a chunky diamond or gemstone necklace can turn even the simplest dress into a stunning and elegant outfit.  If you desire to dress up your dress, adding a statement necklace can turn your dress into a princess worthy outfit.  When Melania Trump wed millionaire Donald Trump, she wore a stunning strapless dress with a statement diamond necklace.  She took it one step even further with a 50 pound dress adorned with 1,500 pearls and crystals.  Melania’s dress is the ultimate example of wedding extravagance to the extreme.

Whether you want to  make an understated statement or blow your guests out of the water with your beauty and elegance, the bridal jewelry you choose to wear on the big day can convey so much.

The most popular item for engagement jewelry is the traditional diamond ring.  The diamond is a symbol of everlasting love and devotion- and its beauty is so unique.  The circular band represents a cyclical bond that joins two people in holy matrimony.  But if you are of the more alternative mindset and your fashion tastes are a bit different, there are many nontraditional options you can choose from as engagement jewelry.

A person engaged to be married my not want to wear a diamond engagement ring because it isn’t their style, or perhaps it does not fit with their lifestyle.  A gardener or artist may find a bulky ring to be uncomfortable and in the way of his or her lifestyle.  An alternative piece of engagement jewelry in these cases is the perfect alternative.

Some people choose birthstone jewelry as a lovely alternative to classical diamond engagement ring jewelry.  Birthstones are quite beautiful and unique, and they can be worn as a necklace or even a beautiful brooch.  Couples may find that these birthstones are even more special than the traditional diamond because they hold so much meaning for the wearer in their innate birth connection.

Alternative engagement jewelry itself is not limited to wedding bands. Couples sometimes wear diamond or gemstone encrusted brooches, necklaces, or bracelets to symbolize their devotion to one another.  Eternity bracelets are a beautiful way to show commitment.  These bracelets can be engraved with meaningful phrases for the couple, or even their name and/or the date that they met.  And bracelets do not mean a lack of diamonds.  Eternity bracelets are typically diamond encrusted and will still adorn the hand of the lady set to be married.

Another popular choice for a different type of engagement jewelry is the intertwining heart pendant.  The two hearts symbolize the connection of two hearts and souls, joining as one.  These hearts are a beautiful emblem of an eternal connection.  The intertwining heart pendant can be worn on a necklace, or as a brooch or even a pair of earrings.  If work on a chain, the pendant hearts will lay close to the wearer’s heart.

All of the above alternative choices will make the engaged couple stand out from the ordinary, and they are often times a less expensive alternative to the diamond ring.  Simply because something is used as engagement jewelry does not mean it has to be extremely expensive.  As couples try to save some money and stand apart from the crowd, they are turning more and more to these beautiful alternative options for engagement jewelry.
