Silver hoop earrings are not dead. You may have thought that they came and went with the 80’s, and I’m hear to tell you this is simply not true. If there is one accessory I find the celebrities wearing more and more frequently this would be it. They are simple, clean, and they look pretty darn hot with basically any type of ensemble. You really can’t go wrong with gold hoop earrings, or sterling silver hoop earrings for that matter. Hoops are just a nice complementary piece of jewelry.

Now, if anyone in this country knows how to appropriately emulate a celebrity - it's the NYU (New York University, for you foreigners) and FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) students. They know what's up, that's for sure. But the best part about these youngsters is that they are designers-in-training themselves, so they often take modern style and elaborate on it or modify it.

The celebrities that teenagers see in music videos, television programs or movie screens are largely responsible for dictating trends in teen jewelry fashion. The oversized, ostentatious accoutrements favored by rap musicians have spawned the hip-hop jewelry trend, and teenagers have been patronizing lower-priced but accurate replicas of celebrity bling. Instead of the diamonds and other precious gems used in celebrity jewelry, cheaper zirconia and base metals are used for duplicates. designer pendants that are imported from Israel and Brazil. These pendants combine tradition and contemporary by mixing pearls and leather, or crystal and brass.

Hoop earrings are another traditional style that is as popular today as they were ages ago. Hoops can come in a variety of different materials, such as gold, silver or even hard plastic. There are small, delicate hoops and big, bold hoops. Some hoops are thin, others are thicker. There are the choices of celebrities are hoop earrings that are perfect circles, and ones that are more oval shaped. There are even square are rectangular choices that are similar to circle hoops in style.

Fashion Jewelry Trends
Fashion jewelry is popular in today's fashion conscious society. Women, and sometimes even men, use fashion jewelry to accent their outfits. The difference between fashion jewelry and fine jewelry is that fashion jewelry is affordable and crafted from less valuable materials than fine jewelry. It's easy to have a jewelry collection that features something to match every ensemble.

Trends come and go. For example, the love beads and mood rings of the sixties and seventies aren't as popular today as they used to be. Sometimes, however, trends from bygone eras make resurgence and become new again. One of the biggest trends that is taken from a previous decade is that of colorful eighties style jewelry. That means jelly bracelets, giant earrings, and even wrist cuffs in a variety of vibrant shades and patterns.
