As we draw closer 2012, we can’t forget all the fabulous celebrity looks and styles from 2011! This past week, ArcaMax counted down its Top Ten Celebrity Jewelry Trends of 2011. This list of hot, signature trends was inspired by celebrities from Penelope Cruz to Rihanna. Let’s take a dazzling trip down celeb memory lane and see which styles made the cut!

One style that stood out from the rest featured big and bold jewelry pieces. Red carpet regulars like Eva Mendez, Tyra Banks and Kim Kardashian were named on this list for having such bold, audacious accessories. Pop star Rihanna also made the list for that famous chunky gold chain necklace she was seen wearing during a special live performance on the Today Show. You can get Rihanna’s bold, signature look for less with Terran’s Chain Link Necklace and Earring Set!

Let’s not forget the classic elegance that we love to see our celebrities show off. Vintage style jewelry was another signature celebrity jewelry trend from 2011. Of course, we’ve seen the paparazzi snap photos of obvious glam goddesses like actress Penelope Cruz rocking classic drop earrings. However, vintage style jewelry is definitely making a surprising comeback with our favorite young starlets, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood, wearing vintage earrings!

She also rocked the simple staple jewelry that we all wish we owned – diamond stud earrings and a sparkling diamond tennis necklace!
