TREND WATCH 

Go Green  

The color green has staying power! It was a choice color in 2011 -- seen on red carpet trendsetters like Angelina Jolie and in myriad accessories. Its popularity continued onto Spring 2012 runways, so look for jewelry with green gems -- like emerald, peridot and tourmaline -- to stay on trend through next year. See examples of this trend >
