Twisted Silver Shape earrings offer bold yet wearable style

One of the biggest trends in fashion and jewelry this season is bold jewelry. The bold jewelry trend has been spotted on the runways and on the street in 2011 and has also appeared on the spring 2012 runways. Wearing bold earrings is one of the fabulous ways a Fashionista can rock this trend since earrings not only light up one’s face, they are front and center; making a huge statement. One of the drawbacks to bold earrings is that many of them are too heavy or large to wear all day long; not Twisted Silver’s new Shape earrings!

Twisted Silver has of course, done it again! The Shape earrings from the fall/winter 2011 collection are not only bold and unique, making them the perfect fit for the bold jewelry trend, the earrings are also lightweight! Love it!

The Twisted Silver Shape earrings offer asymmetrical brass and copper rectangle’s, ovals, twists and dimensional shapes which not only create a one-of-a-kind look, they work easily with all of the season’s 1980’s silhouettes. In addition to working well with the apparel style of the moment, Twisted Silver’s Shape earrings compliment the bold colors which are so du rigueur.

Twisted Silver’s Shape earrings are priced at $50 and offer a 3” drop weighing in at a mere .25oz. To learn more about Twisted Silver’s Shape earrings, please visit twisted-silver.com and use code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
