Bracelets Trends for Fall and Winter

Every time the seasons change, one of the favorite pastimes of fashionistas everywhere is to update pieces of apparel and jewelry to keep in line with the latest trends and hottest up and coming styles. This season, there's been a big focus on jewelry, especially bracelets, so we thought we'd take a moment to examine what's on the radar for this fall and winter.
Cuff bracelets – Big, bold jewelry continues to dominate. Inspired by the likes of Cleopatra, cuff bracelets continue to take front and center stage. Thick cuff bracelets adorned with rhinestones in eye-catching colors are a hit, as are simpler styles that use gold or silver cut outs. Demi Moore and Sarah Jessica Parker are fans of the cuff bracelet, but not just one. They, along with an array of other fashion-forward celebs and A-listers are on board with double cuff bracelets to make maximum impact.
Chain bracelets – Thick chain bracelets are a bit hit this season. Mix it up and play with different colored metals and thicknesses of chains. You can't go wrong when you pair gold with silver and vary the textures and finishes. Pair these bracelets with feminine fabrics like silk, satin or lace for great contrast.

Variety – We've said it before, and we're going to say it again: Mix and match to create your own personal bracelet look. It's more acceptable than ever to wear casual bracelets in leather or cord with metal bracelets or pieces that have a dressier edge. Now is the time to break out of your shell and try something a little out of the norm. So buy one or two key pieces that you absolutely love and pair with those that are already in your jewelry box. You'll be glad you did. Best of all, you'll own a look that is 100% you!

Fall Jewelry Trends

You might think it's a little early to start thinking about jewelry trends for fall, but designers have already sent hundreds of looks down the runway for next season. Luckily, we are seeing a lot of the looks from the past year spill over, as we look ahead. One of those trends is wearing big bold bracelets that just won't stop.

We've been seeing a lot of statement jewelry over the past year and this fall will be no different. It's all about upping the glam factor and getting the most bang for your buck. Luckily, there are many CZ jewelry styles hitting the mass market. Florals are really big, with Cubic Zirconia flowers blooming bigger and more beautiful than ever. These brilliant lookers do a great job at dressing up old favorites and getting you in a party mood. Plus, you don't have to worry about breaking the bank.

Another hit ticket item is the Cubic Zirconia cuff bracelet. These bracelets get bolder each season, but they look fantastic when worn as a signature piece. Try pairing a thick Cubic Zirconia encrusted cuff with a LBD (little black dress), or throw one on with a tank top and jeans for an edgier rock star vibe. Alternatively, toss on a Cubic Zirconia pendant necklace with a peasant blouse or sundress to take your look from day to night. It's so easy to play dress up with CZ jewelry that will have you feeling like the princes you really are.

CZ jewelry is meant to look a little over the top and costume-y, so have fun with your look and play around with different pieces until you find ones that you love. Also, mix and match with jewelry that you already own to create unique looks. For the price and the quality, this is one trend you simply can't afford to be without.
