Rhumba! Item of the Week - Flower Stretch Ring

Even though we love every piece of jewelry for sale on Rhumba! Jewelry, every so often we like to showcase one of our 6,000+ items, and tell you why we love it so much. 

This week we feature this fun & flirty item:

Large Flower Artisan Look Flower Stretch Ring

What it is: Large flower stretch ring in matte silver tone metal with a cross-hatched texture that is accented with black. The central part of the ring features a cluster of icy clear rhinestones amid raised faceted silver tone round shapes.

Why we love it: It's big, but not too glitzy. The faceted silver tone round shapes in the center keep the central rhinestones from getting too "in-your-face" with glitter. It's perfect for the times you want to make a statement while wearing something casual. We love the artisan look of the created by the crosshatch design; it kind of emulates the plaid trend that's so hot right now.  In fact, it would make a great feminine accent to your favorite plaid flannel shirt. :) 

Rhumba! Item of the Week - Bib Necklace

Even though we love every piece of jewelry for sale on Rhumba! Jewelry, every so often we like to showcase one of our 6,000+ items, and tell you why we love it so much. 

This week we feature this lovely item:
Silver Tone Freeform Bib Necklace


What it is: Distressed silver tone shapes that weave together with chains to form a large and lovely necklace that - given how it lays against the collar - follows the Spring bib necklace fashion trend.

Why we love it: You may have seen similar style necklaces gracing the runways at New York's fashion week as designers revealed their Spring 2010 styles (take a look at Ms. Wang's collection), or on stylish celebrities (Ms. Klum seems to enjoy pairing them with boatneck collars). Because of its size, this necklace is a statement piece, but is still comfortable enough to wear without feeling weighed down. We love this silver tone necklace because it looks like polished pebbles; it has an earthy, artisan look that's so now (and dare we say, tomorrow?). This necklace, though seemingly simple, has huge glamour factor and instantly updates any outfit to fashionista fabulous! And it comes with matching earrings!!!

Tri-color Jewelry

In my youth I believed that when one put together an outfit, the accessories should all be in the same color family. Silver necklace, silver earrings. Gold ring, gold bracelet. I'm not sure how the idea was conceived, but I lived by it religiously. But these days, with mixed metal chain jewelry and new metal colors, that concept is but a memory (and, kind of an embarrassing one). Most recently blowing the lid off that ideology is the trend of tri-color jewelry.

















Tri-color jewelry goes with everything - most are mixes of neutrals so you can put them on with anything for instant glammification. Is glammification a word? I think it is now.

The trend adds pop and pizazz to any outfit, and you don't have to worry about clashing.  My style advice - be bold and mix it up!
