Big, bold, layered, and natural, fashion trends in jewelry

wooden bangles,Motivated by environment, Spring and Summer 2009 jewelry collections embrace not only authentic wood and other organic materials but also include hand-made work that perfectly imitate nature. Environment-inspired jewelry celebrates nature's natural tones and strong organic feel with necklaces, bracelets, wrist cuffs, and fashion earrings trimmed with natural hand painted materials.
Cowries is used extensively, and combined with precious metals of wood and bone. Black is especially important this year and several collections showcase lac bangles and bracelets that make a very dramatic statement.
Long necklaces and bracelets work like crazy, as do other natural materials combined with bone. Long necklaces, in the 18 to 26 inch length are worn straight or add layers. Wear double, triple, or even quadruple your strands for the most drama.
If you like the more subtle vs. bold look, think about bone necklaces but embellish with beaded pendants or consider wood beads that are natural and very trendy right now but relatively subtle. Think wood bangles when you are working on a look that requires balance between bold and subtle.
These important fashion accessories are perfect in metals, and try some of the new fresh hand-painted wood bangles. Thick or thin, single or layered, you can accent any outfit beautifully with hand painted bangles.
A particularly hot trend is wooden bangles, wide or thin, often teak colored or decorated with metal studs or painted with wild natural patterns like flowers and birds or fashioned from bone in natural tones or dyed a darker brown. Any hand painted wood and lac bangles are so lovely with their floral motifs in vibrant shades of turquoise, ivory, coral, rose, and jade green. .
Look also for natural elements like bone or horn for pendants. Charms on either necklaces or bracelets are typically alive with flora and fauna like bees, butterflies, flowers, fruit, or birds—very forties yet fresh and reflective of the green movement of today.
