Say “Thanks, Mom” with Jewelry

(ARA) – Mother’s Day is one of the harbingers of spring, the season where Mother Nature
sheds the dark days of winter for the bright blooms of the first flowers. It’s also a time for
people to stash their heavy winter clothes in the back of the closet and slip into fun new
spring fashions.

The same goes for accessories, so Mother’s Day is the perfect time to update the jewelry wardrobe of
the special women in your life. This spring, casual chic is a big trend. The bohemian look is still hot,
featuring full skirts and dresses with lots of movement and fabrics in earthy neutral colors.

Bold, chunky jewelry is the perfect complement to spring fashions, and a great gift for Mom. “Natural
materials like vibrant turquoise and onyx give spring’s hottest looks an organic feeling,” says Natalie
Parman, vice president of merchandising for Jewelry Television. “Combining these stunning stones with
other materials like carved beads, sterling silver and pearls, makes these piece very versatile – they look
striking with a cocktail dress, but at home with a t-shirt and jeans as well.”

Jewelry Television’s easy-to-use Web site is your one-stop shopping resource for Mother’s Day and for
the latest trends in jewelry. You’ll find two spring collections that reflect the trend toward dramatic looks,
“Exotic Appeal” and “Naturally Chic.” The collections include necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings. The
pieces are wonderfully affordable – nothing costs more than $100, so you can make a big statement for
less than you would think. And since another hot trend this season is to mix and match, and to combine
necklaces and bracelets of varying materials and lengths, these pieces are priced to let you follow the
fashion.

For example, pair a long strand of chunky sterling silver turquoise and sponge coral beads in striking
shades of aqua and dusky red with a more delicate chocker style necklace of sterling silver carved
turquoise, free form and fancy cut carnelian and round bead enhanced red onyx with a fanciful dangle of
carved turquoise. This combination is ideal for dressing up a pair of jeans, and also looks smashing with a
skirt and blazer for a PTA meeting or the office.

Another versatile piece is the sterling silver, oval cabochon enhanced purple turquoise rope design
pendant. This eye-catching pendant is simple enough to wear to the kids’ soccer game, yet striking
enough to wear with a classy cocktail dress. For a night out on the town, pair it with the matching purple
turquoise cuff bracelet. “These are pieces that can definitely take you from a day look to a night look
effortlessly,” says Parman.

The colors in these spring collections range from lovely muted greens and corals to more vibrant purples,
blues and reds, as well as yellows and browns. There’s sure to be something that complements every
style and color preference. But the best part is that Mom will think of you every time she wears her new
favorite piece of jewelry.
