Subtle, it's not....

Accessories will definitely have a vital role to play in shaping our Spring/Summer wardrobes in 2011. Leading designers, such as Vivienne Westwood & Malandrino pictured above, have offered up a wide range of oversized jewellery in this season's catwalk collections indicating that the trend started last year continues to be relevant. The difference this time is the move away from precious stones like rubies & emeralds to the emergence of semi precious and more colourful stones - why not go for Chalcedony, Amber or Onyx? www.mimiandted.co.uk/online-catalogue/pendants

The creativity on offer is truly inspirational so check out a few of the trends seen on the runways recently to help you in making your choices - from statement necklaces to stacked bangles & cuffs and cocktail rings, to name but a few.

A word of warning though - choose one of these trends at a time, don't wear stacked bangles AND a statement necklace - one piece is enough to show that you're bang on trend!

Cheaper than a facelift!!
