This season's jewelry chimes in with the bold spring/summer 2008 fashions for apparel and shoes. Nothing is off limits this season as you will make quite a statement with the oversized personality of the spring/summer jewelry.

Bright Colors

Whether it's chunky colorful thick bracelets, thin multi-colored hoop earrings or multi-toned pearls, color is in the spotlight.

Watches with multi-colored leather straps, colorful crystals and multi-colored diamond pendants - all are in style this season.

Designers' preferred stones include blue topaz, sapphire, silver and blue pearls and aquamarine.

Karl Lagerfeld's multi-colored plastic necklace in his spring collection best reflected this chic and casual trend.

Gold Rush

Gem-Fashion magazine reports that yellow gold is the "it" metal for the spring/summer 2008 season. A perfect pairing to the sunny days of summer, gold is a nice companion to the Greek goddess/gladiator sandal look.

And we are not talking about simple gold earrings and rings - this is about grandeur - oversized links, layered chains, droopy earrings and cocktail rings.

Chunky Styles

Rings are BIG! Clusters, flowers, big and bold, these cocktail rings are a statement that needs no other accessories. Your hands will get noticed.

Bracelets are leather, wood or beads - as thick as possible. Necklaces are long and multi-layered. This actually is a nice contrast to the feminine details on floral, artsy and flowing dresses of the spring/summer 2008 season.

Ever a trendsetter, Kate Moss showcased both the big flower cocktail ring and the chunky gold link necklace in the recent Vogue Nippon.

Hanging low

Chris Franchetti Michaels of Bella Online reports that cut-out and filigree pendants and charms will stay popular well into fall.

Another striking trend for pendants is signs of the zodiac, in from the 70s with the hippie chick dress.

A similar nebulous idea, Ives Saint Laurent and Emilio Pucci bring the stars and moons on the models' necklaces for their spring/summer looks.

Exotic look

From the bohemian beadwork to a mix of wooden, beaded and leather bracelets and rings, the exotic look is hot.

Ethnic influences are one of the stronger trends for 2008 overall. Some examples include exotic animals, Indian beadwork, Egyptian turquoise and gold.

Dries Van Noten large beaded cuff in the Spring 2008 look brings you back to the times of Nefertiti. A similar trend also shows up on the sandals in his collection.
