In the world of jewelry there is nothing more experimental and fashion-forward than teen jewelry. Because teenage tastes change as drastically and dramatically as the music videos they see of their favorite artists, the challenge for makers of teen jewelry is to create pieces that are not just attractive, but also quite up to date and edgy.

Celebrity Matters

Accessories sported by major celebrities and the coolest rock icons will no doubt make their way into the halls of great teen jewelry. Remember the tongue rings rockstars used to sport in the late 90s? The number of teenagers wanting to have these on their own tongues only proves that teen jewelry is dependent upon celebrity status.

Any type of jewelry that is parent-approved is a no-no. Kids want only the bling that has the seal of approval of their idols. Current favorites include heart and butterfly pendants on skinny chains, and chunky mesh style bracelets and chokers.

Beads of Friendship

One of the most popular types, and less edgier versions, of teen jewelry is beaded. Friendship beads are a staple in grade school and high school and boys and girls alike are great fans of these colorful trinkets.
Beaded teen jewelry often represents a more demure kind of teenage lifestyle, one that espouses peace, calm, friendship, and love. Charm bracelets and simple pendants fall into this category as well..

Personalized Teen Jewelry

There is no better way to bring out individuality and independence than a personalized piece of jewelry. It is during the teenage years that ones creativity often surfaces, which makes it the best time to experiment with the types of jewelry and dressing style one chooses. If we look at the jewelry trends per generation, we will find that teen jewelry are the most exciting pieces, with lots of colors, embellishments, and stamps of personalization.

Remember, teens ache all the time to be seen as unique. Jewelry is a stepping stone to making this message known to the rest of the world.

Jewelry and Social Status

For teens, it’s not really how much jewelry you put on or how much it cost. Most of the time, it’s how it is embellished and how it is used. A necklace that has been converted into a bracelet would make for a great piece that could start a school trend. A piercing, similarly, could also build a following. Most teens enjoy pieces that stand out a bit, and express their own status and personality.

Teen jewelry no doubt spells more than just accessorizing to make an outfit look nicer. For the younger generation, jewelry and accessories are a reflection of who they are and the message they want to bring out.

Chocolate Diamonds have increased in popularity in recent years and have gained a great appeal for a few reasons. First of all, they tend to be less expensive than white or colorless diamonds. Second, with the recent marketing campaign by Le Vian, these diamonds have been seen on over 100 Hollywood celebrities, associating them with luxury and fame. Finally, their rich dark, color creates a unique look and contrast with other gems, including white diamonds.

There are several different styles of Chocolate Diamond rings. Some of them appear in solitaire settings; however, more commonly, they are set in pairs or clusters. Some rings feature several tiny Chocolate Diamonds swirled together with several tiny white diamonds. There are bands with rows of several of each diamond, creating a striped effect. Other bands have a checkerboard appearance, with white and brown diamond alternating. These bands can be found for both men and women. Other settings have a large white diamond in the center with a circle of Chocolate Diamonds surrounding it. Though some are willing to branch out and include them in their engagement rings, many rings featuring these diamonds are more of the fashion variety. Some of the fashion rings include elaborate settings and designs using the gold.

If you want even more pizzazz, you can find many rings that include other stones and gems along with the brown diamonds. Turquiose and Aquamarine are often paired with the brown diamonds, and have become quite popular with those who like the brown/blue combination. Other color combinations include rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. For some variety in texture, some rings include brown cultured pearls as well as the brown diamonds.

They can be found in most major jewelry stores. They can also be purchased from on-line stores or on e-bay. The price of these rings ranges from $150 to $3,000. The price is determined by the quality of the diamonds, the size of the diamonds, the number of white diamonds and the quality of the other stones included in the ring.

The next time you want to surprise someone special with a unique piece of jewelry, consider a Chocolate Diamond ring.
