What are the top jewelry trends in 2012?

According to Hilary Alexander (Fashion Correspondent of The Daily Telegraph) all the coming spring/summer jewellery trends can be found here! http://www.jewellerylondon.com/en/Show-Highlights1/Jewellery-Trends-Spring--Summer-2012/ Expect jewellery to echo the clean, precise nature of tailoring, with modernist  pieces in geometric shapes, such as Gucci’s gilded “box” chokers, Balenciaga’s rows of moulded cuffs, or, perversely, to traverse  the route of decadent extravaganza. Expect jewellery to echo the oceanographic theme in stones such as sapphire, lapis, tourmaline, emerald, malachite and jade, with conch, starfish, and sea-horse motifs for necklaces and earrings, and real shells to be used by the ethnic and tribal specialists. Car themes will undoubtedly influence modernist jewellery, along with variations on metal “lace”, for necklaces, and interpretations of Prada’s dangly, multi-coloured earrings. Jewellery to dress-up dresses will be as diverse as the silhouettes, hemlines and inspirations. Expect a return of pearls – a “flapper” essential - together with ladylike beads, gothic “eagles”, and full-on, “Pat Butcher” earrings, which, surprisingly, enjoyed a comeback on many catwalks; not least, at Prada and Marni.
