The jewelry trends we saw earlier this year are rolling over into the summer! The 2012 Golden Globes introduced us to large statement pieces - beautiful chandelier earrings, bold necklaces, rings and oversized cuff bracelets. The trend continued onto the Oscar Red Carpet, as it has into the summer season. Here are a couple of trends that can easily by incorporated into you summer look.

BOLD COLOR
This summer season big, bold and chunky jewelry continues to be a favorite. The fun, flirty feeling of summer introduces bright, bold colors. Think “color blocking” with your jewelry. Add a bold color to your neckline, wrist or both! Have fun with it!

TRIBAL
It feels as though summer after summer we see the re-introduction of tribal jewelry and this summer is no exception. Must be the vacation fever we all experience this time of year.
