One of the biggest trends in jewelry on the spring/summer 2013 runways was the giant pearl. Designers, especially in Paris, paired various colors of jumbo pearls together to create bold clusters of pearls. The large-scale pearls and balls were paired with lady-like ensembles and classic styles adding a modern twist to a timeless vibe.

The jumbo pearl jewelry trend from the runway has already started to hit the streets. Twisted Silver first gave a nod to the giant pearl trend when they released the “Swank” collection last week. The “Swank” Collection gave Fashionistas a classic yet edgy way to rock this 2013 jewelry trend. Today, Twisted Silver has released the “Jumbo” collection which is bigger and bolder than any other pearl collection we have seen in the past from the Bay Area Jeweler. The “Jumbo” Collection also offers more of a feminine, funky, and slightly edgy vibe than the “Swank” collection offered.

The “Jumbo” collection has just the right mix of metallics and pastels on large pearls. This makes the “Jumbo” collection the perfect accessory to spring/summer 2013’s pastel hues, A-line skirts and lady-like dresses. In addition to working well with pastels, the “Jumbo” collection easily blends with spring/summer 2013’s bright colors, prints and patterns. Love that!

The earrings are neutral and feature one gigantic, silver pearl dangling on a silver chain. The earrings can easily be worn everyday and night with any ensemble from casual through to party attire. 

Twisted Silver’s “Jumbo” bracelet can be worn alone or stacked with other bracelets to create a casual or dressy, personalized look.

The “Jumbo” collection from Twisted Silver debuted online today at Twisted-Silver.com. The bracelet is priced at $40 and the earrings are priced at $30. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Well-loved and fashionable celebrities Anne Hathaway and Carrie Underwood were both recently spotted carrying fabulous, hard box clutches by luxury, vegan handbag designer Jill Milan. Both Fashionistas chose to carry the same, beautiful handbag; the “Holland Park” clutch.

The “Holland Park” clutch by Jill Milan is an amazing handbag which is both classic and on-trend for the current season. The silhouette is classic while the geometric styling and black/metallic combination are both on-trend and timeless.

Twisted Silver’s new Swank collection

Nothing is more swank than vintage appeal and pearl-like touches. With winter 2013 and spring 2013 offering trends which include vintage touches, feminine vibes and a tendency towards all that is round; pastel hues and pearls just feel right. That is why Twisted Silver’s new “Swank” collection is perfect for right now; and well into 2013.

The new “Swank” collection from Twisted Silver offers sweet vintage cameos alongside modern, pearl-like beads set on funky brass beads. This is the perfect answer to the current cameo trend and spring/summer 2013’s large, oversized pearl trend which is hot off the Paris runway.

Funky pearls and beads dominated the jewelry Paris designers sent down the Paris Fashion Week runway for the spring/summer 2013 season. Designers showed round balls which were clumped together for a “classic-meets-club” vibe which was anything but traditional. This was especially apparent on the Chanel runway where models donned chunky, oversized beads and pearls with classic tweed suits and edgy dresses.

The new “Swank” collection from Twisted Silver offers large, pearl-like beads mixed with cameos which is perfect for pairing with winter sweaters right now in winter 2013 as well as everything that is hot for the spring/summer 2013 season.  Love that!

The “Swank” collection features a piece-de résistance which is the bracelet and two pairs of matching earrings which allow the collection to be paired with cool or warm colors. Fabulous! The bracelet is priced at $40, the brass bead earrings are priced at $30 and the bronze earrings (not pictured) are priced at $30.

The “Swank” collection from Twisted Silver debuted online today at Twisted-Silver.com. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
