One of the big, incoming trends in jewelry for the spring 2013 season is the dainty trend. Dainty and petite jewelry is the contrasting trend in jewelry to the stacked, bold jewelry trend which has been popular for the past few seasons. Designers for spring 2013 have either taken the dainty route, or have continued with the bold trend for the upcoming warm weather season. This gives Fashionistas the perfect opportunity to be bold one day, and dainty the next! Love that!

The new “Bolo” collection from Bay Area jeweler Twisted Silver is the perfect answer to the season’s hot dainty jewelry trend. The matching earrings and necklace can be worn together or apart while maintaining a dainty and feminine flair with a slight edge. After all, it would not be Twisted Silver if it was not at least slightly edgy! 

Twisted Silver’s “Bolo” collection offers soft movement and an understated, copper color. The tassel-like design features tiny little copper balls on the ends of the thin chains which add the perfect finishing touch to the pieces. The copper hue allows the necklace and earrings to blend easily with both gold and silver; this is handy since metallics are hot for spring 2013! Mixed metals; love this!

The “Bolo” collection can easily be worn with casual attire or with dressy attire; making it the perfect, versatile collection for the spring 2013 season. The “Bolo” collection also evokes a classic and timeless vibe; making the pieces great investment jewelry! Fabulous!

The 3” bangle from Twisted Silver: the ultimate staple

 in Eco Chic / General Fashion / Jewelry / Local Designers  tagged bracelets / casual style / classic style / spring 2013 / twisted silver by

There are very few “must-haves” in a woman’s wardrobe. The main “must-have’s” for a basic wardrobe include the quintessential “little black dress,” a pair of black pumps, a trench coat and a pair of jeans which fit properly. Everything else is disposable year after year; and even those four items may not have the longevity one wishes for. Think about what is in your wardrobe that you have had forever? Is it an apparel item? A pair of shoes? A handbag? A piece of jewelry? Oh back up; it’s jewelry!

Jewelry is the longest lasting accessory and fashion item a woman can buy. It does not get attacked by moths, it does not shrink in the dryer, the dry cleaner cannot ruin it, rain cannot ruin it; there are very few things that can ruin jewelry. This means when it comes to investing in an accessory that will withstand the test of time, literary, jewelry is the way to go!

When it comes to casual, everyday jewelry, there are few staple pieces every Fashionista needs in a wardrobe. Think of these items as the “little black dresses” of the jewelry box. A pair of hoop earrings, bangles, a timeless watch and diamond (or faux diamond) studs. Bangles are classic, timeless and are easy to wear with everything! They can go to work, the park, dinner, the theatre and anywhere you want to be! Fabulous!

Twisted Silver has designed a fabulous set of three bangles named the “3” bangle” which is an amazing, edgy yet classic bangle stack. This fabulous set of bangles is perfect for wearing on its’ own or paired with other bracelets. The three bangles are attached by an edgy chain and offer two Twisted Silver charms which dangle from the chain. The “3” Bangles” bring new meaning to the word “classic.” Love this!

A woman can never have too many bangles. If you do not already have bangles in your jewelry wardrobe, the “3” bangles” are the perfect bangles to include in your collection. If you already have other silver bangles, Twisted Silver’s “3” Bangles” will make the perfect addition to your collection. Love them!

Twisted Silver’s “3” bangles” debut online today at Twisted-Silver.com and are priced at $50. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
