A Guide to Rocking the Latest Jewelry Trends
Jewelry trends change quickly. Below are five current ones, covering earrings, necklaces, personalized pieces, bracelets and rings, with tips for wearing each.
Statement Earrings
Statement earrings have been trending for a while and are still going strong, from oversized hoops to colorful tassels. If you're new to this trend, start with a simple pair of drop earrings, which are easy to wear with most outfits. For a bolder look, try a pair of geometric or textured earrings.
Layered Necklaces
Layered necklaces are everywhere right now, and there are many ways to style them. You can go for a minimalist look with dainty chains or stack a bunch of bold statement necklaces. To create a cohesive look, stick with a similar color palette or theme. For instance, layer several gold necklaces with different textures and lengths for a chic boho look.
Personalized Jewelry
Personalized jewelry has been around for a while, but it's still going strong. Initial necklaces, monogrammed rings, and nameplate earrings are just a few examples of personalized jewelry that have been trending lately. They make good gifts because the letters or names mean something to the wearer. To avoid looking too matchy-matchy, try mixing and matching different styles of personalized jewelry.
Sculptural Bracelets
Chunky, sculptural bracelets add some edge to an outfit, and the options range from modern cuffs to detailed bangles. If you're new to this trend, start with a simple metal cuff, which stands out without overpowering the rest of your look. For a bolder look, try a chunky resin bangle or a sculptural wire bracelet.
Art Deco Rings
Art deco-inspired rings are gaining popularity. They have geometric shapes, bold lines and fine detailing, and they give an outfit a vintage touch. To pull off this trend, keep the rest of your jewelry minimal and let your ring do the talking. Opt for a chunky cocktail ring or a delicate ring with an art deco-inspired detail.
If you are unsure where to start, pick the trend closest to what you already wear, such as adding a second chain to the necklace you wear every day.
