It’s rare to find
a woman who doesn’t love jewelry. After all, it’s a generally accepted maxim
that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and that the way to a girl’s heart is
paved with Tiffany boxes. We love necklaces and chokers, dangly earrings and
pearl studs, diamond and ruby rings, delicate tennis bracelets and clunky,
chunky bangles.
One piece of classic jewelry that we often overlook, though, is the timeless
wrist watch. Ever since the Swatch craze died down, you just don’t hear much
about women’s watches in the fashion press. And that’s a downright shame
because women’s fashion candy
color sport watch are among the best, most utilitarian and most
stylish jewelry pieces you can buy. From timeless classic wristwatches to fun
and funky watches with interchangeable straps, women’s watches should take the
forefront of the fashion jewelry stage.
Why give one watch
when you can give a whole wardrobe of watches? The concept dates back to the
1970s, when Timex came out with a single watch paired with seven different
colored straps that could be swapped out — a different watch for every day. Invicta has carried this tradition through in
several of its women’s watch lines. The Classique from Invicta includes seven
interchangeable straps in Hot Pink, Pearl White, Lime Green, Orange , Golden Yellow, Black and Sky Blue and
a watch with a mother of pearl face and sixteen diamond accents. The Invicta
Baby Lupah features seven straps in the same colors with crocodile embossing,
and the Baby Lupah timepiece, a classic timepiece based on the Invicta Lupah
watch for men.
One of the hottest
upcoming fashion trends is to have a wardrobe of brightly colored sports and
casual watches that are as much bracelet as they are time pieces. One great
example of the trend is a trio of watches from Activa’s Sport collection. Each of
the three features a round polyurethane watch case in bright blue, bright
magenta and smoky topaz, with matching polyurethane straps. The sporty jelly
straps and cases are candy-colored and completely delicious.
They’re perfect for wear with jeans and sports clothing. The price is very
reasonable.
If you can spend a bit more, you can get a similar look and higher quality from
names like Swiss Legend, whose Commander series features rubber straps and
stainless steel case set with 206 diamonds around a rotating bezel. The quality
is miles ahead, of course, in a watch that measures its abilities in
“complications” that are well-known in the world of luxury Swiss timepieces. Women’s
watches are more than just time pieces — they’re also pieces of jewelry that
range from the casual and inexpensive to the very pricey and extravagant. With
a bit of careful shopping, you’ll easily find watches that fit both your
fashion style and your pocketbook’s demands.
