A Walk on the Wild Side - This Year's Jewelry

An article outlining the latest trend in fashion for all things tribal and nature inspired, focusing on the jewelry which reflects and complements this trend. Jewelry has gone a bit wild this year. Take cocktail rings. While last year these oversized, bright and bold rings were a simple stone, maybe two, worn large to complement and accessories any outfit, from evening dress to jeans and a T shirt, this year, it seems, it’s all about safari.

If you like your jewelry big and a little outrageous, you are going to love the new tropical styled rings that are making their way into fashion this year. Some of these rings look very exotic, almost tribal, with their jewel encrusted designs of baboon’s faces, lizards and turtles, and even some that feature a large stone surrounded by smaller set stones, arranged to look like it’s been sliced straight from a coral reef. For a real statement piece, large, rich stones like garnets and sapphires are appearing with a jeweled snake design which coils around the stone and actually becomes part of the ring itself.

This style of ring looks great when worn with the popular leopard print that is still making its mark in clothing and accessories. Animal print bags, shoes and dresses are set to rule this spring and summer and these exotic designs in cocktail rings will complement the look perfectly.

This look of raw nature is big in clothing and jewelry at the moment. T shirts feature a range of zebra prints, gorillas and snake skin designs, while shoes, bags and even bikinis are being seen in various animal prints and reflections of nature. The jewelry being brought out to accompany these outfits starts at the subtle end and goes all the way to full on tribal.
