I’m back with my absolute favorite topic – Gold Jewelry. Anyone who knows me will know it’s all I have and all I wear (except for my wedding rings). I’m obsessed, like a mag pie I’m drawn to sparkly gold accessories, my biggest weakness apart from my shoe obsession! Now I have the opportunity to pass on the greatness of gold jewelry…
Yes, it has already made a comeback. Gold is chic, trendy, and brings out that summer tan – or if you are me and burn then the redness! Real gold is perfect to wear during the summer because it doesn’t tarnish. You can wear it to the beach, in the pool, playing sports, basically you can wear it everywhere!
Luxurious and royal gold again proves to be staying among the top jewelry trends for 2015, we love the golden chains from Moschino, the golden touches of jewelry at Valentino among many other shows and collections around at the moment.
Gold is also perfect for going out, especially when paired with a dark outfit. Think black and Navy, but don’t limit this trend to darker colours because paired with yellows and oranges it looks bling fantastic!
Now, not only have we got the gold option but let’s not forget the shades of gold. Rose Gold is coming on strong as a fashion statement for the modern gold lovers!
This pretty metal — which is actually a gold and copper alloy – has warmth that flatters a variety of skin tones. And rose gold works with a number of styles. Designers ranging from Michael Kors to Oscar de la Renta to Cartier are showing new pieces in tri-color and rose-colored gold and most jewelry designers are leaning to this shade of gold because they feel it to be the most flattering on all skin tones.
Rose Gold is versatile, stylish, and more neutral than either yellow or white gold. Fun fact: that soft, pinkish hue comes from the copper that is combined with yellow gold to create rose gold.
Stacking rings
My favorite trend to play with at the moment would have to be stacking rings. I find myself reaching for a range of different ring styles scattered across my fingers. Whether it’s bold statement, eye catching rings matched with delicate Swarovski crystal rings or rings that are stacked at the top of my fingers. You can mix and match styles, and colours of gold/rose gold to show off your mode. I have found myself wearing plain dresses and using jewelry to dress up my outfit.
We gals at My Red Glasses just love the layered looks on the hand. Build a bigger look with lots of small, slim styles.
Cuffs
Whether it’s an arm or wrist cuff it’s a great easy way to dress up an outfit, especially If you prefer understated accessories. I like Gold cuffs paired with a lace black dress that can look understated, sophisticated, effortless, and this look will never go out of style. However, cuffs work with everything!
Statement Necklaces
Statement necklaces are the best way for me to grace my wardrobe. I feel naked leaving my apartment without a great necklace on, making my otherwise plain work attire more complete. Yesterday while trying to find a fabulous present for my friend’s birthday I may have accidently skipped into Francesca’s which had a sale, and scooped up 3 gold necklaces, which worn on their own looked great but paired together created a fabulous layered look.
Have fun with statement necklaces – whether it’s bold colours mixed with gold or plain gold. Mix and match them all together to create different looks. Plus the newest look in necklaces, is to layer…..either different lengths, metal colors or types of necklaces and/or to take a longer necklace and layer charms on that necklace. Can be initials of you and your loved ones, special occasion charms or some old vintage jewelry either heirloom from your family or found when shopping the vintage jewelry that’s all around.
Stacked Bangles
Bangles look great on their own, or stacked together in the same style or mixed with different styles. I love Michael Kors bangles and Stella & Dot, they have great choices which paired with plain gold bangles look amazing, adding in touches of style to bring your whole outfit together.
I’m sure you realize how amazing gold and rose gold accessories are, so be sure to play around with this fabulous trend that’s new to many shoppers but has always been a mainstay and is here to stay!
