3 Must-Have Jewelry Pieces For 2011 That You Should Know About

When we talk about jewelry, we mostly talk about women's jewelry. Though men have been wearing jewelry since ancient times, the bond between a woman and her jewelry is nothing compared to that. If you are planning to buy a piece of jewelry for the women in your life, here are some pieces which are must-haves for 2011:

1. Cocktail rings: Big and bold, this kind of ring has been in fashion for many seasons now. The focus in 2011 is on flower and animal motifs, so look out for rings with such motifs. They can be made of semi-precious stones like peridot, aquamarine and coral. The rings that have multicolored stones in them are especially in demand with butterfly and clover being the two most sought after motifs. For those with a little higher budget, cocktail rings made of emerald and sapphire are great buys. Even costlier are the gold and silver ones. If low on funds, go for copper or bronze cocktail rings.

2. Chandelier earrings: If you have been following red carpet glamour for some of the recent events, you will see that most female celebrities were seen with some outstanding chandelier earrings. This kind of earring was the pariah last year but this year, it is the top trend to follow. The long earrings touching the shoulder are very much back in fashion and they can be made of anything from solid gold to those made of semi-precious stones and even glass beads and feathers. They don't have to round all the time, hoop earrings especially those with diamonds are very much in demand. Other kinds of chandelier earrings in fashion are the pieces that come in such bright colors like green, cobalt blue or plum.

3. Stacked cuffs and bangles: Bangles and cuffs will be very much in demand in 2011 and the good news is, they can be more than one in number. Stacked bangles and cuffs is what the most fashionables are sporting right now. If the person you are presenting to crave a sophisticated and chic look, handmade cuffs that come with unusual textures is a good choice.

A right piece of jewelry can take the outfit of a woman from drab to something elegant. Again too much of it can make the most beautiful outfit look shabby. So gift the right piece and see how her face lights up when she opens the present.
