Fashion jewelry is a necessary part of your wardrobe. While fine jewelry can be an expensive investment, fashionable jewelry is a more affordable way to have fun with accessories. It allows you to experiment with fashion trends and new styles without breaking the bank. Because it is so affordable, it is easier to part with when a trend is over or the piece doesn't fit your style anymore. You may regret a trendy finer purchase, so it is best to invest in quality fine jewelry while having fun with less expensive fashionable find. Finding great jewelry has become easier over time, with many high-end fashion designers developing lines of fashionable jewelry for various department and discount stores.

In finer department stores, many fashion designers have done lines of fashion jewelry. Ralph Lauren, Givenchy, Betsey Johnson, and Rachel Roy are all examples of fashion lines available. The pieces are usually under $100, with many being under $50. Some of the selection is more trend-focused, such as turquoise and coral jewelry for summer. Finding a particular style of a certain piece is easy because many lines will offer their own variations of the trend.

More classic fashionable jewelry is also available. Pearls, rhinestones, and semi-precious stones are also featured in many fashion lines. The jewelry is a more affordable version of fine jewelry pieces, and many look identical to its "real" counterparts. This kind of fashion jewelry surpasses trends and is great for traveling when you don't want to bring along a lot of valuables.

In discount retail stores there are also a lot of collaborations with fashion designers. Vera Wang, Dana Buchman, and Anna Sheffield have all created lines of jewelry at affordable prices. The pieces coordinate with the clothing lines that the designers have also created for the stores, so creating a complete look is easier than ever. These discount stores even have their own lines that are more trend-driven. Many of these pieces are also available online.

Update an older, plain outfit with trendy pieces for a look that is more up to date. Designer boutiques may also offer fashionable jewelry. Many upscale designers will have fun, affordable pieces available only in their stores. It may be intimidating to walk in to a high-end boutique, but you may just find the perfect piece of fashion jewelry.
