As the days get shorter and the air gets cooler, it’s time to update your fall wardrobe and your blings as well! So when you shed off denim shorts and summer tops and move on to light jackets and pants, here’s some advice on what to wear that would jazz up your outfit. The biggest trends in jewelry this fall are bright bauble rings, large pendant, beaded or layered necklaces and mismatched bracelets or stackable bangles and chunky danglers.

We see a wide variety of jewelry being flaunted by celebrities on the red carpet and models on runways. You can look just as stunning by wearing a sparkling pair of c-z jewels that look stylish and yet won’t cause a void in your bank account.

Necklaces

CRISLU 8.5 cttw bezel stone 40" Cascades

Layer long gold and silver chains together or wear a piece of CRISLU Cascade collection, such as the 8.5 carat-weight bezel stone 40″ Cascades Necklaces Bezel Stone (style no. 609683N40ML) to create a chic look.

Rings

Vintage and chunky rings are hottest this season. Besides looking trendy, they are pretty affordable as well. Try on CRISLU fancy square cut ring (style no. 907923R70CZ) and gorgeous square lattice ring which features a total of 1.26 carat-weight of fine micro pave stones set in an intricate square lattice design, finished with 18K gold vermeil.

Bracelets
Fall fashion is synonymous with layers, and this applies to bracelets as well. Slip on a few bracelets made of sterling silver. The CRISLU Micro Pave Stackables collection offers loads of inspiration.

Earrings

To pretty up your look, wear shoulder duster earrings that are in rage currently such as the CRISLU Chandelier Sapphire Earrings (style no. 906589E00SA). If you are in a mood to play safe, wear elegant platinum earrings studded with Cubic Zirconia, like a classic pair of CRISLU 4.3 carat-weight Iced square drop earrings (style no. 909352E00CZ)

The mantra for fall 2011 is to wear pieces that stand out rather than blending in with your jewelry. So go ahead, get bold!

Every bride has her own style. Some want to be formal, some want to be glamorous, and some even want to be sexy. This year, inspired by the Royal Wedding, many brides are choosing to capture a bit of Kate’s classic style for their own day. Dress designers are rushing to fill requests for Kate inspired gowns, tiaras have come back into fashion and brides everywhere are hunting for the perfect accessories. If you are looking for wedding day jewelry and find yourself intimidated by all the possibilities, just follow these simple dos and don’ts to add just the right amount of sparkle to your wedding day look.

1) Do find your balance.
Kate set a new standard by not letting her fashion and accessories outshine her. She shunned the overly ornate dresses and insanely long trains of her predecessors and instead chose a look where every piece worked together to create a classic, memorable style. Follow her lead by finding some balance in your own look. If your dress is classic, match the look with a classic pearl and cubic-zirconia earrings and necklace from CRISLU’s bridal collection. If your dress is more ornate, go for something with a little more dazzle like one of CRISLU’s crystal or cubic-zirconia pendants.

2) Do find your match.
Hopefully you are in love with your dress – enamored by its draping, enraptured by its little embellishments. Don’t be afraid to continue that love affair by matching those little details in your jewelry. Perhaps your dress is adorned with flowers and pearls; a flower shaped pendant like CRISLU’s pearl and zirconia starburst pendant might work perfectly for your look. Perhaps your dress has some swirl in its draping; CRISLU’s pearl necklaces with zirconia swirl accent will subtly play up that detail.

3) Don’t be afraid of color.

Sumptious Sapphire ring

Kate’s sapphire and diamond engagement ring is the ideal inspiration for the new trend in bridal jewelry: color. After all, brides come in all shapes and sizes and so do gems so don’t be afraid to think outside the box and add a little bit of color to your ensemble. CRISLU’s Kate Middleton inspired pieces are the perfect solution for any bride that wants to cross “new” and “blue” off her wedding day list.
