New jewelry styles come out every year, and most current trends can be bought at very different prices. Here are six of the latest jewelry trends for every budget:
Personalized Jewelry: Personalized jewelry has become increasingly popular in recent years. You can choose from necklaces, bracelets, and rings that can be engraved with your name, initials, or a special date. Personalized pieces come in plated metals as well as solid gold, so prices vary widely.
Statement Earrings: Statement earrings are the boldest trend on this list. From oversized hoops to colorful tassel earrings, there are plenty of options to choose from. Statement earrings can be found at a variety of price points, from affordable costume jewelry to high-end designer pieces.
Layered Necklaces: Layered necklaces add depth to a simple outfit. You can mix and match different lengths, styles, and materials to create a unique and personalized look. Layered necklaces are available in a range of price points, from simple gold-plated pieces to more expensive diamond-studded designs.
Pearls: Pearls have stayed in style for generations. A classic pearl necklace or a pair of pearl earrings dresses up a simple outfit. Pearls can be found at various price points, from affordable freshwater pearls to more expensive Akoya pearls.
Chunky Rings: Chunky rings follow the same bigger, bolder direction as this year's earrings. From oversized cocktail rings to stacked rings, there are plenty of options to choose from. Their price depends mostly on the metal and how much of it the ring uses.
Colorful Stones: Colorful stones are a fun and playful jewelry trend that can add some personality to your look. From bright gemstones to colorful enamel designs, there are plenty of options to choose from. Colorful stone jewelry runs from inexpensive glass and enamel to precious stones such as sapphire and ruby.
At JCarat, most designs come in solid gold or in gold-plated sterling silver, so the same necklace or ring is available at two price levels.
