Ageless advice is to always accessorize! Jewelry expands your wardrobe 1,000 fold. Every outfit can be dressed up or down, made to look Modernist, Art Deco or Southwest. Earrings fit no matter what size you have expanded or dropped in size to. If you see a piece of jewelry that you just love, grab it! Someone else will get it if you don't and you will regret it later.

Be original or imaginative with your Jewels. Use bracelets to lengthen your necklaces for different neckline styles. Use your grandmother's rhinestone sweater clips as enhancers on a chain. This is a really great trick while Art Deco is big!

Art Deco Jewelery

Art Deco is an artistic style prominent in the 1920s and 1930s. Took its name from L'Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exhibition of Decorative and Modern Industrial Arts), held in Paris in 1925. Influences included Art Nouveau, Ancient Egyptian architecture, and Cubism

"The Art Deco trend is especially relevant to our customers, who always covet a vintage-inspired look. We are seeing a very authentic 20s influence emerging across all our jewellery categories at present and going into spring/summer 2009 - especially bracelets, where we have juxtaposed a strong Deco influence on cuffs that look like real heirloom pieces yet retail for £26 and also earrings, where one of current best sellers is a beautiful epoxy Art Deco drop earring," explained Anna Tizard.

Art Deco is eclectic and decorative, with an elegant and modern style. Egyptian influences are seen in scalloped patterns and sunray stripes, while heavy embellishment and geometric beading offer an opulent look. Black and gold color combinations, generating a glamorous style, with silver and pearl also important to this trend.
