In jewelry news, let’s explore the trends for 2008—shall we? Well there’s no better time than now to read up on such info. This year, hot jewelry includes gem-intensive, bold styles but simple rather than intricate.

Unique is fabulous, as always, so be on the lookout for something different. Even men will veer away from their sporadic diamond comfort zone and they’ll be joining in on the large colored stone trend in bracelets and rings.

The inspiration is the “Grace Kelly” look; the “less is more” notion. Unlike Grace Kelly, however, you’re going to want to bring color into the picture! Women will wear less fine jewelry, but what they will wear will be large, impressive and classic. Rather than layering on the bangles, go for one candy colored or diamond-studded cuff bracelet. Tone down on the number of rings you wear and pump up the chunky and unique cocktail ring.

Jump on the train, ladies. Get bright and bubbly for 2008!
