Swarovski has posted their jewelry and accessory forecast for this coming spring and summer, and blue is supposed to be a major color player in our palette .

I love blue! I've got blonde hair and blue eyes, so blue has always been a good color for me. Pictured are some Meteorite Blue Zircon Pierced Earrings. Notice how unusual the cut of the crystals are. This is another focus of Swarvoski:

A first look at spring / summer trends

Colours and details to look out for

My favourite pastime in February is to scour the magazines for announcements of new spring / summer collections. It's so exciting and it helps me forget the ghastly winds blowing outside...

Live up the colours!
Royal blue will play an important role as a basic colour, while pure white remains a summer staple (Meteorite and Comet sets). For special effects you can also wear during the day, choose gold or silver metallics (Crash and Columns sets).

A tribute to tribal
Tribal inspirations play an important role, both in jewellery and fashion. And... you heard it here first: Swarovski has again invented exquisite new cuts, such as the grand Tooth Cut (Chill set).

Feeling loopy?

Hair Jewels are here to stay this season, making accessorising a top priority, so to speak.
