Jewellery fashion in a recession economy !

Up until recently, its been possible to pinpoint 20 to 30 mini fashion trends every season. Global communication encourages us to get ahead of ourselves, we can see the trends in New York, Paris and Rome, as they’re happening, literally in some cases. As a result new fashion offerings seem to have a short life span, with people tiring of them very quickly and moving on to the next thing.

This year is going to be very different because of the downturn in the global economy. Overriding signs in March 2009 suggest that while, we’ll always follow fashion trends, it looks like there’ll be a resurgence of the times when a few main trends set the tone for a complete fashion season.

For jewellery, the trends are for huge necklaces, big costume jewellery, retro and real vintage gem looks, tribal necklaces, stacked cuff bangles, massive cocktail dress rings and some luxury pieces (think investment ) Fashionable tones of citrus green and orange are hotter than a griddle at the moment. With a splash of rose, pink and plum for good measure !

Whatever clothing trend you follow, adding colour to your wardrobe may be the hottest trend tip at the moment!
