What do the fashion pundits predict for 2008? Metallics are going to be really in! Sleek, shiny metal accessories are going to rule the roost.

• Go for copper, gold, brass, bronze and silver
• Remember metal can look cheap or tatty if not worn right!
• Copper and dull gold are the safest.
• If silver is too stark ad shiny, avoid!
• You can't go wrong with the antique look.
• Pick gold / bronze / silver with antique polish.
• Avoid colours like red, orange or turquoise in metallics. They can look garish.
• Go with deep blue or dark green metallics
• Go for chunky jewellery with large stones.
• Antique finish pendants, bejeweled rings and bracelets are hot this season.
• Dress your ensemble with metallic chains: worn round your neck or knotted across the waist

Metallics are happening! So have fun as you play around with your imagination and look “happening"!
