Consumer Intentions for Holiday 2009

Jewelry Designs Remain Bold and Bodacious in Spring 2009

Many designer jewelry experts recommended stock-piling up on statement jewelry in 2008, with anticipation that the trend would continue into 2009. While the focus last year was on choosing one signature piece and toning down the rest of the ensemble, the trend this spring is the bigger the better. On the runways in Paris, Milan and New York, models are sporting bold, exotic and colorful pieces that are paired with equally bold and colorful outfits (think purple).

Earrings and the Oscars

Watching the Oscars this year, you may have forgotten that we’re in recession. Apparently, the rule of thumb is that if you want to wear this season’s jewelry designs, go all out. The red-carpet A-listers didn’t let us down, sporting lavish, statement-making earrings. Angelina Jolie caused a stir in her Lorraine Schwartz emerald teardrop earrings accentuated with her strapless back Ellie Saab gown. Kate Winslet stunned the crowds in an asymmetrical Atelier Yves Saint Laurent gown and brilliant Chopard earrings. Other noteworthy Oscar earrings were donned by Alicia Keys, Evan Rachel Wood and Heidi Klum. The spectacle also proved that the chandelier earring trend stays strong in 2009 as well.

Beaded Jewelry Designs

One of the easiest ways to sport the color trends of this season is with beaded jewelry. Multi-colored beaded earrings, bracelets and necklaces provide sparkle and versatility with so many outfits. Choose natural-looking beads in turquoise, jade and coral for a splash of color from Mother Nature. Don’t forget bamboo, which is the new “wood” accessory for spring in necklaces and bracelets. Or, go for dangly, fresh water pearl earrings with a Bali accent for that tropical, “Bali-high” look. Choose one of this season’s multi-colored beaded necklaces that will take you from spring and summer into next fall.

Geometry of Jewelry Designs

Extending upon last year’s Art Deco trend, Ralph Lauren and Anna Sui are just two fashion designers who have embraced designer jewelry in geometric shapes and bold colors. From ethnic-inspired beading to imperial-esque jewels, the look features prominent stones and gems. Paired with a bold, geometric-design blouse or dress, the look is over-the-top fun.

Charms, Charms, Charms

Additional forecasts in jewelry trends will play upon ever-shortening necklines and sleeves. And what to do with that exposed skin? Well, accessorize them with dripping, colorful charms. Charms are a great way to express personal interests and passions, while exhibiting individuality. For clues on how to wear the trend, take a cue from celebrities, such as Gwen Stefani. The look can be worn with a few carefully selected charms of sentimental value, or chains overloaded with them. Charms in sterling silver or gold matched with beautiful glass beads in a bracelet is one of the most popular looks for the charm bracelet today.

The Silver Lining

An economic recession has everyone looking for the silver lining. And while gold may be out of reach for many right now, silver jewelry can bring a touch of brightness to any outfit. This affordable option is being combined beautifully with other metals including brass, copper and gold-filled for an affordable jewelry alternative. The timeless beauty of silver makes it a stylish choice for any season.

Arm Candy

For an inexpensive way to update the spring and summer wardrobe for 2009, make the most of your wrists. For those who love the bold looks of 2009 but may feel unsure about taking it to the limit, bracelets are a great way to make a strong statement. Bold, ornate cuffs are making their appearance on the runway, as are simple chains. For a truly dramatic statement, invest in an elongated cuff design worn on the upper arm.

Color and Metal

From clothing to jewelry, the thing to keep in mind this season is color. After a long winter, color returns in shades of sun-splashed tropical to juicy citrus. Jewelry is bursting with turquoise, yellow, fuchsia, aqua, lilac, and black, to name a few. Whether it’s jewelry designed to match tropical prints or mixed metals paired with the metallic look in dresses, the choices are going to be wide ranging.

My Bar Mitzvah Present: Pandora Jewelry

Last week, I got my scores of final examines, but then I got very upset. Compared with my best friend, I lagged behind a lot. But when I saw the Pandora box in my desk, I regained my confidence.

Actually, when I went in university, I have tried very hard to get almost every performance better than before, because I have been a young lady since then. But I also came up with a lot of problems as well, having so many competitors and being in so fierce competitions. Thanks to the Pandora box, I could not feel upset and keep my confidence.

As a matter of fact, I received this Pandora box from my grandmother in my bar mitzvah. When I was 18 years old, my family held a bar mitzvah for me to announce that I have been a young lady since then, no longer a girl. And that day, I received a sweet birthday gift from my grandmother: a Pandora box. When I first saw this beautiful box, I could not wait to open it.

Finally, there was Pandora jewelry in it, there being a Pandora necklace, a Pandora bracelet and a Pandora ring. All of them are small and exquisite, and as pretty as the outside box. I expressed my thanks to my grandmother. My grandma was very happy I liked this gift and she also talked to me a lot. She said, since then I became a young lady and an adult. An adult should have many responsibilities and commitments. In the adulthood, there is a lot of uncertainty just the same as the Pandora box, which we should face. Faced with difficulties and problems, we should be more confident, optimistic and upright, not childish any more. She said, patting my shoulders. After her words were put, I nodded and felt there were more things in my lifetime I should deal with independently and bravely.

So every time since then I got some unhappy things which I felt pessimistic, I would took out my Pandora box, opened it and tried the jewelry on me, which remained me of what my grandma said. So I regained my strength and confidence, and became optimistic. In a word, in the light of what Pandora box means to me, I become an adult totally.
