Bold and Beautiful: Jewelry Trends That Are Making a Statement
The jewelry trends making a statement this year are big and colorful. Here they are, with tips on what to pair them with.
Chunky chains:
Chunky chains are back in a big way. They look bold worn alone or with other pieces. Large links give a look that is classic but bold. Chunky chains come long or short and in different colors and sizes, so you can match one to the neckline you wear most.
Colorful stones:
Colorful jewelry is everywhere this year, and jewelers are working more colored gemstones into their designs. You can find a vast range of colorful stones, from classic deep shades of blue, green, and red to vibrant and unique colored stones. Bright stones work especially well in summer.
Statement earrings:
Statement earrings never really left, and this year they are getting bigger. They come in many styles and sizes. Look for long and heavy pairs, colorful and bold ones, or oversized designs. They pair as easily with a casual outfit as with a formal one.
Layered necklaces:
The layered necklace trend has been around for a few years, but it is still going strong. Layering gives a relaxed, bohemian feel that suits the summer months. Mix chains of different styles, lengths and colors, or combine pendant necklaces. The key to a good layered look is varying the lengths so each necklace sits on its own line.
Personalized jewelry:
Personalized jewelry adds personality to an outfit. Initials, birthstones and other custom details make a piece unique to you. Because you decide exactly how it looks, a personalized piece is easy to keep wearing for years.
None of these trends has to be costly, and each one is easy to find at a range of prices.
