Both in 2008 (or what’s left of it) and in 2009, women must forget what their classy mothers were telling them a couple of years ago. The rule of the four pieces of small-seized, paired jewelry can now go directly to the trash bin, where it belongs. What 2008 brought new in terms of jewelry trends is to hold true for 2009 as well. Unconventional pieces can make you and your outfit stand out from a crowd by bringing a note of uniqueness, simplicity and style.

 

As jewelry trends have shown us, accessorizing is not only about silver and gold, diamonds and pearls. A true 2009 fashion connoisseur should already know that unconventional materials, such as wood, ceramics, plastic, leather, sea shell beads, and different kinds of stonegems, can make for astonishing jewelry items (and, let’s not forget, some of them are cheaper, thus more accessible to all fashionistas worldwide). Color is also important, so make sure you've got the right pieces – for instance, a nice wooden necklace, with floral or ethnic painting on it, will never be dull or go out of style.

 

Since the unique and colorful aspects have been covered, bear in mind that what you're wearing should also be big, as large items of jewelry are a must the next season – rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, all the things a woman may use to accessorize are boldly oversized. However, even a more fashion-wise daring woman should know that such pieces mustn't be paired more than two at a time, and with great caution while she’s at it. Even though less can be more, more will never be more than just that, so it’s best if we avoided such fashion disasters that could ruin our appearance.

 

Since we’re speaking of the newest jewelry trends, we might as well conclude by saying that there's not too much to be added at this point, as they're not that new actually. However, fashion insiders advise us to wear tribal pieces, matched with beaded earrings, as well as with everything we would like to put on (including plastic), as long as it has an unique geometrical or floral, ethnic pattern, it is big and colorful.
