A MAN who complained his lover had a hard heart said: “Only diamonds could strike her.” It’s a joke, but somehow it reveals a truth — women instinctively like jewelry.Luxurious and delicate jewelry speaks for your fashion, taste, and also your wealth.But the young generation of spiritually independent girls see the value of jewelry, like other accessories, in beauty only, having nothing to do with the price tags. Big diamonds and thick gold bracelets become the buff of these smart young girls who dress themselves up cool and fresh. Their choice of bright colors and bold designs underscores the brilliance of youth.A red butterfly with black and silvery spots on its wings that hangs from a string of small crystal beads adds a fashionable feature to a long necklace. A string of transparent crystals dotted with crimson red stones romantically reminds one of rose petals among ice crystals. Embossed pendants create a revival of ancient looks.Short necklaces, in contrast, make you feminine and sexy. A necklace of jade woven with red and yellow ribbons into flower patterns has a mysterious Oriental appeal, while the string of pearls fitting snugly around your neck is very elegant. With strings hanging at the back, the blue and red woven necklace gives the look of a metropolitan hippie girl.Butterflies, a popular theme this season, also perch on the finger besides dangling from your neck. Stars, flowers, fruit, and even fish and ocean waves are cool decorations on rings. Apart from bright colors such as red, yellow, turquoise, azure, pink and purple used on rings, another key to looking cool is to wear the ring near your finger tips rather than at the base of the finger.Lovely pink and azure, semi-transparent bracelets with flower and leaf patterns are the best choice for girls with a gentle temperament. Others, made from beads in different colors or decorated with vivid patterns of dancing girls and anchors, fit those with a mysterious Gypsy spirit.Daisy-shaped earrings bring back memories of early girlhood, sweet and fresh, while another pair depicting purple flowers and green leaves reminds one of romance. Anklets can be quite special this season. Think of shells, heart decorations, goldfish and even insect patterns dangling about your ankles while Teddy bears and lovely fruit patterns make the best of brooches.Sunglasses, not only a necessity to protect your eyes from the scorching sun, can add much ginger to your summer look. The frameless champagne-colored glasses that almost cover half of your face are mysterious and cool, the lemon color makes one look artistic, and the oval-shaped violet ones can bring back the warm atmosphere of campus life.
