Frost Yourself 2013

Now that I work in the jewelry industry I must admit I’ve become more than a little bit obsessed and am definitely very excited about the new trends for this spring. My next purchase is going to have to be a beautiful pair of antique teardrop earrings. Valentines day maybe…. Aww romance. What is going to be your next addition? Spiky earrings or a snake bauble perhaps?

Lets start out with one of the biggest trends, and a more surprising one to be honest. Geometric shapes are starting to bring the hardcore to contemporary. The punk rock to the soccer mom. Almost anyone can pull of the sharp jagged edges now. Styled right, definitely. Can be seen as the major trend at any artisan craft fair, but is making its way into popular lines as well.

Neon Color blocking, is a unique combination this spring. Using plastics and metal together to bring out the contrast and the brightness of this trend. The neon though might turn out to be a little bit more appropriate for the summer months, or any rave you have scheduled I suppose.

Rose gold, the trend of throwing in a little extra copper with your gold is coming back. The rosy color can add a softer romantic touch to any piece. Be careful though as rose gold can lose its color based on its quality and possibly its value if it’s a more expensive piece, aka actually gold.

Cuffs can still be found on the trend leaders of the Hollywood set. Bold and big, even stacking several on top of each other. Most often seen in different metals, but can also make an appearance in wraps and leather cuffs. Can be a stunning statement with all matching hardware.

Vintage pieces are showing up in several collections this spring. Subtle drop earring, especially in rose gold can add that soft feminine touch you are looking to bring to any outfit. And make you ready for all the Great Gatsby parties to follow the movie release in May. Excuses to wear a flapper dress? Yes please!

In case you haven’t visited a Chinese restaurant this year to check out the placemats, it is officially the year of the snake, and is reflected very well in jewelry as well this year. Take your badassness to the next level by wearing a snake cocktail ring to your next get together. It is sure to turn some heads and maybe gets some hearts racing.

Bringing jewelry away from the traditional placements it’s climbing up to the hair. Wrapping a necklaces around your locks or placing a necklace in your hair can add an opulent sparkle. This trend has already been seen all over the runway at major event. My only worry is how you are going to get that out without ripping out half your hair in the process.

Amber stone is coming in slowly. It’s low price point and low usage could make it even more desirable this season. I also am a little partial to Amber stones obviously because of the name… Maybe you will even get part of a dinosaur in yours, or just a mosquito, same thing.

So go ahead Frost Yourself 2013.
