An unconventional piece even when teamed with an ordinary dress can change the complete look. With gold prices reaching an all time high, trend is moving towards other alternatives. Though silver and pearl are still used but increasingly other items are used for women's jewelry. Use of unconventional items like beads, stones, printed or painted shells in jewelry can make a bold statement. In the recent years, jewelry trend has been favoring chunky pieces which are worn around the neck and wrists. So like in 2008, chunky beads, big tribal stones around the neck in vibrant colors, are still in fashion.
