Summery Trends in Silver Jewelry

Oh, those hot days of summer! Don’t tuck away your silver jewelry for the summer. Your favorite silver rings, silver chains, silver pendants and silver earrings are spectacular summer accessories for just about any occasion. Whether you’re accessorizing for a day at the beach or a night out on the town, check out some of the hottest silver jewelry trends for summer wear in 2012.

Silver Chains by the Yard

Turn custom silver chains into your own unique fashion statement. You’re not confined to the standard lengths of chain you’ll find in local stores. There are many handmade silver jewelry sites online that sell silver chains in many different styles by the inch. Take full advantage of chains by the inch to design and create your own unique silver jewelry. Purchase a length of bar and link chain or silver filigree chain that’s 2 ½ times your waist measurement, add a lobster claw clasp and wrap it around your waist for a one-of-a-kind belly chain. It’s the perfect accent for a midriff baring summer look!

Three Hot Styles of Silver Bracelets

Bracelets are probably the oldest form of jewelry in existence, but designers are always finding new ways to express themselves with silver bracelets in many styles. Three of the hottest summer silver bracelet styles take their inspiration from traditional and historic cultural design.

Celtic tribal design is one of the hottest fashion accents of the past several years. Silver cuff bracelets engraved with Celtic designs are a great way to show off your tan – and your cultural background.

Handmade silver jewelry from Bali is another culture-conscious fashion trend. Balinese bangle bracelets feature delicate engraving, inset beads and fine silver filigree work that’s unmatched anywhere else in the world. Wear a single bangle bracelet around your wrist, or stack several to make an exotic fashion statement.

Native American tribes have a long tradition of jewelry that incorporates silver with common semiprecious gemstones, including turquoise, marcasite and tiger-eye. The newest trend in silver and gemstone jewelry is lengths of silver chains interspersed with turquoise, marcasite, onyx and other semiprecious stones. Choose your birthstone gem for a meaningful gift of silver jewelry for yourself.

Silver Earrings for Evening and Day Wear

Show off your sun-kissed glow with the gleam of soft silver earrings. Whether you choose handmade silver earrings with delicate crystals and gemstones, or gold leaf silver earrings taken from nature, the gleam of silver against your shoulders and throat are a great way to highlight those sun streaks in your hair and your glowing skin.

Silver jewelry looks great year round, but it never looks quite as spectacular as it does in the summer. Take full advantage of the hottest summer trend in jewelry to look great all summer long!
