Hot Jewelry For Gift Giving
The Jewelry Fashion Trends for the Holidays

Jewelry has always been a good gift idea and that hasn't changed for this holiday season.

What does change are the fashion trends -- jewelry fashions change along with styles for clothes and shoes!

With the bright colors and retro looks from the 1950s through the 1980s making a splash in the fashion world, bright jewelry is following along.

Pearls are coming back as a fashionable accessory and colored stones are hot.

Gemological Institute of America advises the cocktail ring in bright and bold colors is a sure winner as a gift idea or as an accessory for your own wardrobe this holiday season.

The GIA experts say, "To celebrate the grand return of the chunky cocktail ring...choose from a wide spectrum of candy-colored gems to complement vibrant holiday styles.

Popular varieties this season will be led by irresistible pinks and yellows, such as those seen in pink sapphire, pink tourmaline, and kunzite, or citrine, yellow sapphire, and even yellow diamonds. This colorful array of lush gem choices also ranges from the cool blues of sapphire, tanzanite, and aquamarine, to the vibrant greens of emerald, peridot, and tsavorite garnet."
