Colored gemstone jewelry is catching people’s attention. It’s been said that women shopping for themselves have been shopping for colored gemstone jewelry, and the bigger the better! It’s also seen on the runways for the Spring 2009 collections, in which there’s a lot of texture and patterns, and of course, the big and bold jewelry in bright colors. Jewelry stands out in 2009, with bib style necklaces like those by Canadian couture jewelry designer Karen McFarlane, large dramatic earrings in chandelier and fringes designs, and bright large cocktail rings. Jewelry is screaming for attention this year, and so are their wearers!
