Jewelry and fashion go hand in hand. No matter what era in history you research, you will find various styles of clothing and of course various styles of jewelry that were popular during the time. Whether the jewelry was to adorn the hair, the neck, the hands, or the body jewelry has played a large part when it comes to the fashion industry.

When a designer creates a look, all of sudden it is being worn by the famous and then everyone else has the desire to duplicate the look usually in smaller scale.

The seasons also play a huge part in jewelry and fashion. Toe rings are not as popular in the winter months when the toes are hidden away inside socks and shoes. However, as soon as the weather is warm out pop those toes with unique and adorable toe rings.

Watching what the designers have to save prior to the season is the best way in which to stay on top of jewelry and fashion that will be popular. For spring and summer 2007, the trend is leaning toward flower designs on pendants with pink flowers. Clothing is still hot in black and white and with this sterling sliver chains, silver earrings, and silver necklaces are the hot jewelry pieces to wear.

Other popular colors for the beginning of spring tend to be green blue, orange, and yellow. Using these colors you can find many stunning stones to include in your collection such as red jade, green jade, or golden yellow topaz.

Semi-transparent jewelry in the way of clear quartz, rose quartz, and smoky quartz is still at the top of the list for fashionable jewelry for 2007. Many people are wearing quartz along with crystal beads for a stunning fashion statement.

The most popular color for spring 2007 is blue. Combining your variety of blue dresses, blue blouses etc.. with sparkling blue gemstones of varying degrees is sure to be a hit and an attention grabber.

Fall and Winter of 2006, had popular styles using earthy tones such as deep olives, browns and lodens along with contrasting colors of various shades of gray with plum, raspberry, and eggplant. Layers were at the top of the fashion culture not only in clothing but also with jewelry with layered gold chains and pearls worn together. Large bulky jewelry and dainty jewelry were both seen and even seen together.

The gemstones and crystals we saw during the end of 2006 were deep neutrals balanced with silver and gold. Not only did we see this trend but also the feminine flair of the 1920’s was back with softer lines and fancy frills, which was wonderful with most any piece of jewelry that was not too gaudy.

2007 will be another trend more toward romanticism. Beads such as pearls will be back and strong. Colors for spring are antiques pales, weathered denim, bold brights, and contrasting colors include textures, prints, and patterns.

Just remember, fashion and jewelry do compliment one another and to stand out in the crowd you must mix and match your clothing with accessories that either contrast or blend well enough to be stunning.

When you look at how jewelry has an impact on society, you must first learn the way jewelry has been used throughout history. Jewelry has been used in many different ways such as showing the rank of those in society. In ancient Rome, only individuals with high ranks could wear jewelry.

Glancing through history you will find various ways in which jewelry has been used. At one time it was used as currency, to display a persons wealth, symbolism for membership in a certain sector of society, functional uses such as buckles, pins, and clasps, protection such as crosses and amulets, and last but not least as an artistic display.

Even today, you can find jewelry used as a form of currency, by the practice of keeping large amounts of precious jewelry hidden away in deposit boxes, chests in our home, bank vaults, or other secure areas. In past years, this jewelry could be traded for other items and still can be throughout the US only it is mainly reserved for pawnshops where you sell the jewelry in order to purchase other items.

In a young ladies dowry, you would often find items of jewelry that would be given to the groom at the time of the wedding. Today, jewelry has been replaced with a hope chest. The young girl now, places items in her hope chest instead of her father adding money or jewelry. The hope chest today is nothing like a dowry of the past since usually it only holds household items.

When it comes to such items as pins, brooches, and buckles these were usually functional items that held clothing together. Today, these are used more as decorative items.

Symbolic jewelry can be seen in many areas of society such as the Christian crucifix, Jewish Star of David, alumni rings of universities, school class rings, among others. All of these show a membership in a certain group in society. Even the wearing of wedding rings in the Western culture is a symbol of love and marriage. Symbolic jewelry shows the belief in your religion, the honor of being a member of a club, or even as simple as a mothers ring given to her by her children. All are symbolic of belonging.

Some cultures wear jewelry to ward off evil or bad luck. Some of jewelry items used is symbols like the ankh, stones, plants, animals, Khamsa, and glyphs. Each one warding off a certain evil or drawing in good luck to the person wearing the item.

However, religion does a play a huge part in how much jewelry a person wears. Many cultures forbid the excessive wearing of jewelry and wearing gold by men is a prohibited by Islam society.

The media, the rich and famous, and of course advertisements set the trend today. Before the 20th century, only women wore wedding rings. The industry decided to come up with a false history claiming that men wearing engagement and wedding ring had roots back to Medieval times. The trend for wedding rings caught on but the engagement rings for men when by the way side. In the 1940s’, 85% of weddings in the U.S. featured a double-ring ceremony. If you see a movie star, wearing the jewelry before long everyone that can afford the jewelry or a replica of the item will soon be adorning his or her body with the piece.
