Jewellery to Buy in 2011

Knowing what kind of jewellery to buy can seem easy, but with fashions changing all the time and with some people’s collections becoming boring once they start buying too much of the same thing, it can be important to mix things up now and again.

When looking to buy anything from diamond rings to necklaces over the next twelve months, consider whether or not they are going to be a short term fad or a long term investment and budget accordingly. In fact, when looking at buying fashion items, it always worth buying a classic piece for each modern one to ensure that you don’t suddenly end up with a collection that has no pieces that are suitable to wear.

For the classic pieces, items such as diamond rings and simple, elegant styles will always be in fashion, no matter what else is changing. However, getting a modern piece that is very much now is all about looking ahead.

Currently, bold items are very much in, whether these are weird, oversized or obscure, the bigger and bolder they are the more fashionable you will look right now. Retro fashion is huge in all areas at the moment and checking out retro designs will really help you look now, no matter what era they are from.

Bangles are also very much in still, so look at layering that arm with as many square and chunky bangles as you can. However, it is not just the arm that should be layered. Necklaces with layers are also hugely fashionable and will likely continue to be for the rest of the year at least.

But just remember the fad jewellery is all very good, but it is those classic pieces that will really help you stand out, and not only that but they will be a much longer term investment at the same time. So by all means follow the fashion, but don’t let it totally rule what you wear.
