Cubic Zirconia Charm Bracelets Combine CZ Beauty and Meaning

Cubic zirconia stainlees steel charm braceletCharm bracelets never go out of style and there are so many reasons to love them.  First, we love the idea of building a personal collection of cz charms over time.  Marking special occasions with a new cubic zirconia charm to add to your bracelet creates a lasting memory.

A sweet, elegant charm bracelet gift that represents love is this  Cubic Zirconia Heart Charm Bracelet. It features 18k gold over sterling silver, gorgeous cubic zirconia detail, and five precious hearts.  Beautifully dainty.

Secondly, charm bracelets are totally unique.  From the moment you put it on, you are making it your own. No one will have the exact same set of charms you have, because your charm bracelet represents you and your own personal style. Gold, sterling silver, stainless steel or platinum, the sky’s the limit!  For a sturdier, everyday piece, this bracelet shown here has a whole lot of rock and roll to it. With its toggle clasp and round stainless steel links, this piece has presence and will get noticed.  At the same time, it has a lot of heart and sparkles and looks beautiful with or without additional charms.

Lastly, charm bracelets grow with you.  As you collect charms, and your interests evolve (and you run out of room to put new charms) you can swap in new ones or wear them on a necklace instead.

Fall/Winter Jewelry Trends Recap

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

With this season’s fashion shows behind us, we wanted to share some
jewelry trends you’ll want to explore.  No matter what, a common theme
is making a statement through scale, bright colors and contrasts.

1. Huge!  Yes, exaggerated sizes of beads, gemstones and chains make for
weighty pieces designed to keep up with the strong shoulder lines of the season.
They also balance the skinny leggings or jeans on the bottom.  Necklaces up to
six feet long wrap multiple times.  Stacking, whether it’s bracelets, necklaces
or even belts also represent this powerful look.

2. New Metals!  We’ve begun to see more copper, brass and stainless steel jewelry over the past year.  This is a great way for designers to keep costs down, and explore new color combinations and textures.  Cubic zirconia pairs beautifully with not just gold and silver, but any metal.  You’ll also see several metals at a time combined in pendants, bracelets or other accessories.

3. Clusters! Whether it’s charm bracelets, or knots and twists of beads and pearls, you’ll find uneven textures and surprising patchworks another characteristic of this fall’s jewelry trends.  Statement cocktail rings may feature a large cluster of different color pearls.  In cubic zirconia, pave settings, with their radiant cluster effect are everywhere as well.

No matter what, anything goes!  You can wear your necklace as a bracelet, or your longer necklace as a belt.  Layer different metals together in a way you haven’t before.  Use color contrast, such as a brightly colored cz gemstone or
accessory to transform your outfit.  Most importantly, have fun.
