Accessorize for Summer 2010

Summer is here and the living is cool, feminine and soft. The jewelry trends for summer 2010 speak to the kinder gentler side of life, evoking a tenderness and richness, combining the warmth of the weather with the cool refreshing shade. The hues for clothing as well as jewelry are warm and rich, with balmy pinks heading the list of hues to look for. Think glowing geranium or amiable rose, with a light topaz or a deep garnet.

Blue is everyone’s favorite color, but the blue that is the pick for summer 2010 is sky blue. Try blue topaz set off at the sides with tiny pearls or diamonds. Suzanna Dai’s stunning Corfu necklace and matching earrings reflect the blue of the Mediterranean sea, and leaves you swimming in lively color. Yellow is also a favorite color for summer, but think a warm, glowing yellow rather than a cold or harsh golden tone. Try soft citrine gems or playful and hearty yellows in Liza Sonia’s colorful rings and accessories.

Khaki is the fashion trend for summer 2010 when it comes to clothes. This theme should be matched rather than contrasted in jewelry choices. Try classic pearls, smoky topaz or quartz to compliment a pleasant and warm khaki look. This look communicates comfort and easy style.

Sterling silver gives off a warm, shiny tone and is the perfect base for this summer’s pretty and pleasant, feminine colors. Silver also looks great with any skin tone and is the perfect choice for those sporting a tan and also for those who haven’t yet made it out to the beach.Itay Noy’s watches with their bold, globelike faces often have shiny silver rims and bands which bring out the splendor of summer shades.

With The Color Blue"

Summer 2010 is playful and fun as well as warm and feminine. Be a carefree summer gypsy with bangles and beads, the latter should be chunky and colorful. For eveningwear, think elegant bangles encrusted with warm-toned jewels. Pearls can be combined with splashes of color to combine mellow and vivid tones.
