- A one-of-a-kind chunky cocktail ring. Cocktail rings in the coming year shouldn't be about bling - but about colour. Think jewels and stones in bright, deep colours - the more exotic the better.
- Diamond-studded geometric shapes. Forget trashy bling - if you're a diamond girl, go for sparkle in classic Art Deco geometric shapes, like sharp diamond cuffs or geometric brooches. Stars are also a big motif, so cute diamond or marcasite stars will also get plenty of wear.
- An exotic show-stopper. Ethnic influences will be big in 2008 - from oriental inspired to egyptian elements. To stand out, look for a big brooch or pendant with an exotic animal or ethnic design - again, bold jewel colours work perfectly, for example turquoise against gold.
- Crest and coat of arms symbols. Heraldic elements will again be big - for men and women. They can be in the form of badges and embroidery or engravings.
- Statement bangles and cuffs. These can be worn at the wrist or on the upper arm. As with everything else, go for jewelled, chunky silver or gold, lucite or wood. Motifs like serpents and exotic animals will be particularly strong in summer.
