Are you staying over at your parent's place for thanksgiving?

Will you be attending one party after another during the holiday season?

Are you going away on a vacation?

Don't forget to bring along your jewelry wardrobe. If you are space-challenged, you might even be able to pack your entire jewelry wardrobe into a pillbox.

Get yourself cubic zirconia diamond and gemstone earrings. These are all the accessories you need to carry along with you for your traveling wardrobe.

For one thing, earrings set in sparkling gemstones enhance a woman's appearance instantly. As the light from the gemstones are reflected on the wearer's face, her skin looks more radiant and her eyes light up. Somehow diamond earrings are able to bring out a woman's innate beauty.

The best thing about earrings is that you can fit several pairs of earrings into a tiny coin purse or even a pillbox if you are talking about those tiny stud earrings. Larger chandelier earrings or shoulder dusters should fit nicely into a waist pouch or a coin purse or any spare space in your suitcase or even a CD wallet. In any case, you would be able to carry an entire jewelry wardrobe wherever you go.

Bring along diamond stud earrings for the day, larger clip on earrings (no dangles as these are distracting) for the office, hoops for glamor and shoulder dusters or chandelier earrings for red carpet moments when you want to look amazing.

Switch earrings when you go from day to night. Gorgeous drop earrings are wonderful for a romantic date, and chandelier earrings are for times when you are dressed to kill.

There is a major disadvantage with bringing around diamonds or precious gemstones with you when you travel. For one thing. you could get robbed. Or you might lose an expensive diamond earring while you are dancing, or moving from one place to another. That might mean hundreds or even thousands of dollars down the drain.

For women on the go, your best bet would be something that looks like diamonds and rubies and precious gemstones, but costs very little in comparison. I'm talking about costume jewelry. Unlike tacky costume jewelry centuries ago, today's imitation diamonds look so much like the real thing that you may need special instruments to tell the difference. The very affordable cubic zirconia is often used in place of diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds in the best costume jewelry that may be made of precious silver. You can even get a look-alike pair inspired by what your favorite Hollywood starlet wore to the Oscars, or which your favorite celeb wore to the Grammys. You can even get jewelry inspired by Bulgari and other prohibitively expensive fine jewelry store. These CZ earrings are jewels you can wear freely when you travel.

With cubic zirconia earrings, you can afford to collect a complete jewelry wardrobe. Pick earrings in colors you normally wear to match your clothes. These should be colors that flatter you.

Also get earrings that are white and colorless (think diamonds) as these would go with all your outfits.

Take into account your size.

If you are big, go for chunky jewelry. Few women can carry them off with panache and you are one of these lucky few. These are the earrings you can wear:

1. Large clip on earrings or button earrings.

2. Chandelier earrings

3. Shoulder Duster earrings

4. Stunning earrings with large drops

5. Large, chunky hoop earrings.

If you are petite, go for dainty earrings. Tiny studs wouldn't get lost on you as they might on your larger friends. Wear earrings that look wonderful on you but odd on them.

1. Tiny stud earrings

2. Delicate filigree earrings

3. Small drop earrings

4. Single stone ear studs

5. Dainty dangling earrings

You earring wardrobe can transform any outfit you wear.

Wearing a little black dress?

You can change your look by switching the accessories.

For a fancy dinner, try that LBD with a pair of shoulder dusters and a pair of metallic stiletto sandals. Style your hair in an updo and let a few tendrils loose.

For a romantic dinner, wear that black dress with demure drop earrings and Mary Janes. Tuck your hair behind your ears.

For a business presentation, wear that dress with a power jacket and clip on earrings or button earrings and a pair of black pumps.

For a sexy date, wear hoop earrings with your little black dress and a pair of Manilo Blahniks.

Get the picture?

Back home, you can organize your entire collection in a pretty jewelry box or a compartmentalized box meant for fish bait. Whichever suits your needs for your jewelry collection.
