lia sophia Forecasts its 2007 Holiday Jewelry Trends

The holidays are right around the corner and the fashion jewelry world is changing with the seasons. New styles are emerging, but residents shouldn't be too quick to toss out last year's favorite pieces, says Bonni Davis, vice president of sales for lia sophia.

lia sophia's Top 10 Jewelry Trends for the Holidays

----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Classic Black - This season, keep an eye out for jet crystals,

black faceted glass, and for a truly timeless look - black beads

combined with white or grey pearls.



2. Red Alert - Red makes quite a statement on its own, or adds spice

to black, brown, and grey hues, in modern and antique inspired

designs.



3. Cuffed - Whether you don a metal cuff or a beaded stretch

bracelet, you are undeniably in style.



4. Back to Nature - This trend continues to be popular, as evidenced

by the presence of semiprecious stones, shell, wood, and leaf

motifs in jewelry.



5. The Bold and the Beautiful - From bold metal pendants, to

substantial CZ cocktail rings, bigger is better if you want to

make an impression.



6. Heating Up - Although some areas of the country are dropping in

temperature, fashion's color palette is heating up. Warm tones,

such as cherry red, auburn, pumpkin, mustard, and chocolate

reflect the colors of the changing seasons.



7. Golden Girl - Gold toned jewelry in shiny or matte finishes light

up any holiday look. You will absolutely glow in canary yellow

crystals, topaz glass, and butterscotch cat's eye.



8. Lots of Layers - Multi layered long necklaces remain a fashion

focus. Keep it simple with a long, triple strand necklace, or mix

things up by piling on two or more complimentary necklaces of

different lengths.



9. Close to the Ocean - Colors borrowed from seascapes remain key in

jewelry and accessories this season. Blue stones, crystals, and

beads in shades of cobalt, aquamarine and blue topaz play a

primary role.



10. Untamed - Tribal and Ethnic motifs and materials remain at the

forefront of the fashion jewelry industry. Materials such as

carved wood, antiqued textured beads, hammered metal, and neutral

colors are hotter than ever.
