One of the largest online retailers of estate and vintage fine jewelry, including estate signed designer jewelry, Beladora offers thousands of pieces to choose from. Happy shopping!

1. BACK TO NATURE
Nature inspired jewelry will be a big trend in 2010. Jewelry incorporating animals, plants, birds and insects, popular in past seasons, will be popular in this year's pieces as well. Also choose pieces featuring a less literal expression of nature - jewelry pieces in natural finishes and textures like snakeskin, featuring earthtone palettes of brown, green and yellow gemstones such as yellow gold, emeralds, yellow citrines and smoky quartzes. Beladora.com carries a wide selection of animal brooches, animal bracelets, animal earrings and animal necklaces, and animal rings as well a collection of modern style jewelry with the textured, organic style popular in jewelry designs from that period.

2. AMAZONIAN QUEEN
From multi-tiered gold chain necklaces to gold cuff bracelets, gold plaited models walked the Spring 2010 runways looking accessorized to kill. Go warrior princess with gold cuff necklaces, heavy gold chains, stacks of gold bangles or a single gold cuff. Wear your chains wrapped for a dramatic effect or for a different look pair a single long chain with a pendant. Bold and gold, these pieces are guaranteed to make a lasting impression. Check out Beladora.com for gold cuff bracelets, gold bangle bracelets, gold chain necklaces, gold pendants and gold collar necklaces. Beladora.com carries a large selection of estate signed designer jewelry, including pieces from master goldsmiths such as Jean Mahie, Lalaounis, and Zolotas to channel your inner glamazon.

3. A BRIGHT IDEA
We're sure you noticed the fantastic rainbow of colors worn by the stars this awards season. You won't go wrong this year by accessorizing in colorful jewelry. Big gemstone rings will continue to be popular, as will vivid stones in other pieces as well. Whether to add interest to your neutrals or for dabbling in multichromatics, feel free to play with eyecatching pieces with rubies, garnets, emeralds and sapphires or carved cabochons in coral and turquoise. Don't miss Beladora's special section of Jewelry Under $1000 for saavy splurges to add that splash of color.

4. HANDCRAFTED
Pair your more tailored pieces with rugged, hancrafted jewelry for an intriguing contrast. Heavily textured gold with a unique, handcrafted finish will be a winning style this year. Choose pieces with hand hammered detail and unfinished edges for a look that is primitive yet posh and reminiscent of treasures from antiquity. Beladora carries one of the largest selections of estate signed designer jewelry by Jean Mahie, a goldsmith known for her primordial chic designs, each one-of-a-kind and hand crafted in high karat gold. Check out Beladora.com for a great selection of other estate signed designer jewelry. 

5. ACCESSORIZE WITH MEANING
Given the current state of the global economy, capricious consumption is out. Selecting pieces with personal meaning is the response to tightening budgets. Jewelry has become personal again, so this season choose pieces as a way of expressing yourself. Vintage and estate jewelry pieces are beautiful and unique accessories that are more budget-friendly than their retail counterparts, and each piece is imbued with a rich history that began long before it reached your lobe, wrist or neckline. Beladora.com carries a large selection of vintage charm bracelets, a fun way to accessorize with meaning. In addition to vintage charm bracelets, Beladora also offers one of the largest online collections of vintage and estate fine jewelry, including estate signed designer jewelry.
