Holiday costume jewellery

So the summer holidays are slowly coming to an end, but so many people decide to go on their summer holiday at this time of year to end the summer off with a bang. Whether you are going to Thailand, Australia or Blackpool, you have to think about what costume jewellery you are going to wear on your summer holiday, and whether it is evening costume jewellery or daytime costume jewellery as it can be vastly different.

Costume jewellery can be worn to many different occasions including your annual holiday. So what would you take with you on holiday when it comes to costume jewellery? Well as far as daytime costume jewellery goes you want to wear what will suit the weather. So if you are going somewhere really hot and sticky the last thing you want is to be laiden with costume jewellery that will make you itchy and even more uncomfotable in the heat. So go for small crystal earrings, a small bracelet or just a cocktail ring. In the evening you can go all out and wear cuff bracelet and chandelier earrings as it is cooler.

For cooler climates you can be more versatile in what you wear so you can wear stretch bracelets, or necklace and earring sets. You can even wear glamorous earrings if you like. The same goes for evenings in cooler climates, and dependant on what you are doing, you can mix and match your daytime costume jewellery with your evening costume jewellery.

What is crystal costume jewellery?

Crystal costume jewellery is a very fashionable accessory nowadays especially for women who want to wear it to special occasions such as bridal jewellery or as prom jewellery. But what exactly is crystal costume jewellery - what type of costume jewellery is classed as crystal costume jewellery?

Most if not all crystal costume jewellery predominantly contains crystals in it. These crystals can be of any size shape or colour. They are man made crystals which emulate the properties of diamonds and other precious stones. They crystals can be a variety of types of crystals with the most popular being Swarovski crystal costume jewellery or CZ crystal costume jewellery or diamante crystal costume jewellery. Swarovski crystal costume jewellery is generally the most expensive of all crystal costume jewellery because of the intircate way the crystals are cut and the amount of technology that goes behind making the crystals. CZ are less expenisve and the least expensive crystals are diamante crystals.

The type of crystal you may chose will depend on how much you can afford and what you are looking at wearing the costume jewellery to. So if it is to be worn as bridal jewellery you may want to go for Swarovski crystal jewellery and if it is for your prom jewellery, CZ or diamante crystals would suffice.

Costume jewellery for Spring Summer 2011

The new trends in clothing, accessories and in particular costume jewellery for Speing Summer 2011 are now coming out onto our high streets. All the big high street brands have taken from the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and Fendi to come up with their own take on this Spring/Summers trends.

The main trend we can see with most the designers is that there is a lot of 70′s influence. To see what we mean just have a look at Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver and Michelle Pfiffer in Scarface to get an idea of the types of clothing and jewellery the 70′s style encompasses. There is also alot of bright colours on most of the catwalks as well as minimalism showing a real come back. What does this mean for costume jewellery. Well you could go for brightly coloured jewellery, like a bright bracelet for example. Or better still follow the main key trend that is to have a statement hair clip in your hair and a large statement cocktail ring on your finger.

These trends are the ones that are showing on the catwalks and now are present on the high streets and designer stores. They all compliment each really well, but never forget you should always wear what your own style says about you.

We all love Christina Aguilera’s music and nowadays her dress sense as well. Not only has a musci cut across all sorts of genres and styles but so has her dress sense and that includes the costume jewellery and fashion accessories she wears. This was even more prevalent at the Golden Globes this year.

Christina wore a stunning black lace dress by Zuhair Murad at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The Muscian and film star was nominated ftor best picture and best original song. The dress was stunningly figure hugging and look beautiful with her ruby red lips. She accessorised the outfit with Lorraine Schwartz Jewels and a Valentino Handbag. But costume jewellery are what stood out to us. She was wearing a classic asian wedding jewellery which is the hand panja or finger ring where the bracelet and ring are connected by a length of jewels. It looked beautiful and you can get one for a fraction of the cost.

Have a look at our bracelets for stunning finger rings and if you arent as daring as Christina Aguilera, go for a bold crystal bracelet and a large cocktail ring to finish your look off.
