The popularity of costume jewelry has not waned for the hundreds of years it has been worn. Now also known as "bling", costume jewelry has been a major adjunct to the world of fashion. Its styles match the latest trend, and although it may eventually go out of style, it is usually worn again as the fashion world cycles.
Manufacturers must stay abreast of style changes and fashions that are popular at any given time. However, the basics are usually always the same: timepieces, brooches, eyewear, belts, bangles, necklaces, bracelets, chains, and earrings.
Bangles and cuffs are definitely "in". High polished bangles and cuffs are very popular. Of special note are hammer-patterned, serpent-wrap, large loop-connected cuffs, and smooth-edge circle, clasped, and single and triple-ringed bangles.
Today's fashion bracelets offer a huge variety from which to choose. Linked-loop chains, multi-chain strands in various shapes and sizes come in silver or gold tones, with or without stones and charms. For the most part, necklaces follow suit, with lengths varying from chokers to waist-long. Lockets and pendants are also popular.
Perhaps the most frequently worn pieces of costume jewelry are earrings. Hanging earrings with or without stones are very trendy, with stone colors complementing both silver and gold tones. Single and multiple interlocking hoops, chandelier, lacy filigree hoops, faux pearl drops, and studs all remain popular. Although most earring wearers have pierced ears, there are still many who do not. They will have no trouble finding fashionable clip-on earrings with large synthetic black stones, faux pearls, and gold tones.
Necklace Chains have never been "out". The new twist is color. You can find lovely chains in pink, green purple, blue, yellow, red, and black making it easy to find jewelry to wear with anything in your closet. Brass, silver and gold chains abound in all chain link sizes and lengths. You can choose from mesh, box, cable, Byzantine, serpentine, rope, Omega, herringbone, beaded, and snake necklace chains. The ever-popular chain by the foot is still a favorite.
You can find looped belts made of brass and stainless steel almost everywhere, with some designs incorporating synthetic stones. Linked belts are a perfect accessory to the current fashion and popular because all of the linked belts are easily adjusted to fit a wide range of sizes.
