Jewelry Trend: Big Stones

I’ve been seeing a trend lately in accessories – jewels. Big, colorful stones – real or fake – popping up everywhere. Seems like the simple silver or gold route is out and big, fancy stones are in.

You can go fancy fancy with a stunning necklace (like the one above, which I found on InStyle.com, or for the more subtle look, try some sparkling earrings like these from Banana Republic.

Could be just the right pick-me-up for that classic little black dress. Or, even better yet, the long sleeve mini dress that is all the rage this season.
