Now that spring has finally sprung (or so the calendar says) it’s time to think of shedding coats and scarves, and that’s always a good thing for jewelry lovers. We need to see our ears, and not swathed in wool as much of the country has been doing for the past few months.

There are many boho-chic fashions in the stores now and these flowy silhouettes and fanciful patterns are best accentuated with silver jewels. To pair with these fashions, try zen-like jewels with sayings, symbols and synergy. Think beads, fringe, peace signs and lotus blossoms.

Here are 11 great bohemian silver options to swing into spring.
