Each year's fashion jewelry trends add a touch of sparkle to the ears, necks, wrists and fingers of the fashion conscious women everywhere. Why not treat yourself to some of the latest jewelry styles in traditional, art deco, vintage and contemporary designs?

Gemstone jewelry will take on fashion importance this year. Popular cubic zirconia and crystal stones run the gamut with emphasis on blue shades such as aquamarine and sapphire. Although blue cz's and crystals will rule, cubic zirconia and crystals in all colors will reign supreme when incorporated into necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings. Amethyst, peridot and topaz will be popular and will coordinate beautifully with your wardrobe.

Jewelry takes on a more traditional look this year with the re-appearance of the classic heart motif worn as a simple pendant. Always popular are sterling silver heart pendants with cubic zirconia stones. You'll also see a variety of pendants worn on simple cords and chains with motifs that reflect the personal style of the person wearing them.

Cocktail rings or right hand rings, worn singularly or in multiples are still hot this year. Cocktail rings are a flashy and attractive way to show off the well manicured hands. The range of ring styles is dazzling. Try cocktail rings set with colorful cz's and crystal stones to coordinate perfectly with your fashion wardrobe. Wear one bold cocktail ring or several smaller ones to make a fashion statement that's sure to be in vogue.

Earrings add an important element of style to your outfit and your overall look, but earrings can do so much more than that. A carefully chosen pair of earrings can subtly alter the shape of your face and accentuate your best features.

Hoops make an important fashion statement for the trendy ear this year in large and small whether you choose plain sterling silver or embellished with cubic zirconia and crystals. Chandelier earrings and dangle drop earrings never go out of style and are the best choice for evening wear. These are the style of earrings Hollywood celebrities usually wear for red carpet events especially the Oscars and Emmy award events. Chandelier earrings in sterling silver with cubic zirconia have the look of diamonds and platinum.

With warmer weather comes shorter sleeves and the opportunity to show off your beautiful bracelets. Stacking thin bangle bracelets has become a popular trend in a variety of styles from sterling silver, cubic zirconia and enamel. From classic tennis bracelets, cuff bracelets and charm bracelets, we're seeing a variety of animal bracelets in panther, leopard, snake, elephant and other animals adorn the wrists of Hollywood's hottest celebrities.
