Venetian glass is the perfect foil for your fashion style because layering rings is going to be an ongoing fashion statement and each piece will need to have its own beauty without being overly flashy so that the look doesn't turn gaudy. The unique pure, translucent color of glass hand-crafted by masters who have been perfecting their art for many centuries could be just what your wardrobe needs to telegraph to the world that you are a Fashionista with wit and style.
Fashioning.com suggests layering rings over the length of the finger to wrap around the hand and up onto the wrist and arm. Using clear disks of Venetian glass or Venetian glass beads, a jewelry designer could build the perfect accessory for your wardrobe. Or, if you're the DIY kind of person, try making one yourself with beads, cords or wire.
Designers perennially recommend that your wardrobe consist of mostly classic styles that can be well accessorized to reflect the current trends. You don't want to become a fashion victim by over-doing it. Simply find something that helps you feel confident that you've captured "the look" without going overboard. And never, no matter what your favorite TV or movie star celebrities do, should you wear more than one fashion trend at a time. It's the fastest way to look pretentious. Remember that celebrities often go overboard because publicity is their lifeblood and they MUST get noticed to survive. With everyone trying to one-up each other, excesses happen, but getting yourself noticed at the expense of your style sense is not what anyone wants.
So carefully pick the pieces you'll use to create the latest look. Perhaps a jacket to dress up your separates (a very simplified take on military style is in) or what about trying a twist on the look and use the clear and richly hued glass disks or beads of Venetian glass jewelry to accessorize your accessories? How about as a purse clasp, or as a pull ornamenting the zipper on your favorite and most fashion-forward pair of boots? Hair jewels would also work.
If you are lucky enough to already own Venetian glass jewelry then you're already in style, without even trying, lucky you. And if you're not, what a great time to explore the possibilities and find your own personal masterpiece that shows the world that you know your style for 2010.
