Confused About What to Wear with Turquoise Jewelry?

Friday, July 23, 2010 9:31:29 AM GMT+5

Do you love turquoise jewelry but wonder what sort of clothing it accessorizes well with?  Turquoise is this season's hottest color and accessory choice. It is very earthy and has long been a favorite of vintage jewelry collectors who love Native American jewelry.

 

And right now, turquoise is seen in all of the trendiest boutiques and on the fashion runways too.

 

Turquoise is such a dramatic color that one would think it might  overpower other colors. But the richness of the gemstone fits right in with so many earthy shades. This means that it will translate well with fall colors too, so the piece of turquoise jewelry that you purchase today will also keep you in style for several seasons.

 

I've been playing around on Polyvore again. It is such a fun site to get an idea of how to use jewelry (and clothing styles) to their best advantage. The set that I've put together here shows how well turquoise earrings and a single strand of turquoise beads look with tans and browns. It's a real winner.

 

Vintage jewelry lane has a huge range of genuine turquoise jewelry right now. Most of the styles are brand new, with a few vintage pieces as well.  Some are accented with additional gemstones and set in sterling silver.  We have items in all price ranges. Here are a few examples to whet your appetite:

Fun at Polyvore with Layered Necklaces

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 10:34:13 AM GMT+5

Have you ever tried the website Polyvore?  If not, you really should have a jewelry  just by dragging them into one picture. They even have belts, shoes and hats to complete a look.  It is perfect for online shopping when you can't try on an outfit but want to know what it might look like on you.

 

It's also a really fun way to spend an hour or so if you are just feeling creative.

 

Layering has been one of the most popular fashion trends in the jewelry world for both spring and summer this year.  After looking at the runway shots for fall fashions, the trend will continue to be popular for the fall of 2010 as well.

 

Don't know what to layer together?  It seems that anything goes when it comes to layering. Rows and rows of chains and pendants, chunky charm looks with more chains and maybe a pendant for effect.  It can be as much of a mish mash as you would like.

 

Here is my latest attempt at some Polyvore creations. I layered several chunky necklaces together with some multi strand chains to give a bunch of look to give you some inspiration.
