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!
