Trend - Join the Turtle Love Committee

The Turtle Love Committee sells unique, well designed rings that will attract those looking for something different. If you still have a love for diamond engagement rings, consider these beauties as added elegance for your right hand.

"Turtle Love Committee sells unconventional wedding and engagement rings for cool people. We think it's a shame for women to wear diamond engagement rings that are easily compared to each other. When we looked for an organized source of truly unusual engagement rings, we didn't find one, so we decided to make it.

The jewelry you select as a public celebration of your relationship sets the tone for the future. The value of the ring should be based on the love and commitment it symbolizes, not the financial expense it represents. A ring from the collection at Turtle Love Committee is priceless - it represents an emotional commitment, not a financial one."

Trend - We're Bringin' Chunky Back

Nancy of USA Bride Weddings shares with us the 2009 accessory trends, "Brides are choosing to accent their gowns with big, bold jewelry sets--dramatic collars, clusters, or long strands of large pearls and beads, asymmetrical looks and multi-strand drops are all great ideas. Another new trend is a bare neckline with large chandelier earrings, paired with a wide, bold cuff bracelet to really make a statement – layering several smaller bracelets creates the same effect."

Brides are choosing darker-colored gowns in tones like champagne and dark ivory, in natural fabrics such as raw silk. Victorian style gowns accented with gold-tones are also popular this season. Nothing compliments these colors and textures like timeless gold jewelry. There is just something about the richness of the color gold that gives the feeling of luxury and elegance!"

Trend - Vintage Inspirations

Nancy with USA Bride Weddings shares a trend that she's seeing in bridal accessories, "The vintage inspired look includes rhodium or antique-silver hair accessories and jewelry, bird cage or visor veils as well as outrageous feather and flower combs—all of which are a throwback to the 1920s. The vintage look is also the perfect opportunity to incorporate family heirlooms, such as Grandma’s silver brooch – timeless pieces that can be used with the visor veils or as an embellishment on gown sashes."
