Top Selling Jewelry for 2012

Seasonal trends come and go in the world of fashion, but some infatuations have been holding strong through the year particularly in jewelry. This year has been all about unique looks and getting bigger bling for your buck and we’ve narrowed it down to five definitive trends for 2012.

1) Rose Gold

The new obsession with rose gold starting picking up at the end of last year and it’s turned into a full-blown craze this year. This color of gold is a much softer look and it looks great with any skin tone and it has been a popular material choice to incorporate with vintage designs. What’s more is that rose gold guarantees a much more unique looks as it’s still not as common as it’s yellow and white relatives. Rose gold jewelry can come in a variety of shades depending on how much copper has been mixed in with the gold.

2) Yellow Diamonds

Yellow diamonds have started becoming a popular choice not only in bridal designs, but in fashion jewelry as well. Like with rose gold, the new fascination with colored diamonds comes from a desire to wear something unique as well as the increase in celebrities wearing yellow diamonds. Yellow diamonds are also the most commonly found colored diamond which puts them within reach of the everyday shopper.

3) Tri-Colored Gold

Why pick one when you can have all three? Jewelry pieces featuring yellow, white, and rose gold have also been an extremely hot look this year. These three tone pieces have a way of making a statement without being too flashy. Even luxury designers Cartier, Roberto Coin, and Kwiat have jumped on board with this trend creating colored gold jewelry that can be stacked together or combined all in the same piece.

4) Layering

Speaking of stacking things together, layering jewelry has also been in vogue this year. Rather than purchase a large piece like a cuff bracelet or a cocktail ring, many people have started layering jewelry pieces instead as a cost-effective way to make a big statement. A popular choice is stacking multiple bangle bracelets and stackable rings because it’s easy to modify the look to match any outfit and the sky is the limit when it comes to options.

5) Halos

With the increasing price of diamonds, halos have become a fashionable alternative. A halo is a small ring of gems surrounding a larger stone and with this look, you can make a smaller diamond look much bigger with a halo setting, not to mention get a lot of extra sparkle. A halo is also a small vintage touch to add to any contemporary engagement ring design. Forevermark Diamonds also came out with a new campaign this year featuring halo diamond designs.
