Jewellery is an incredibly unique way to accentuate your outfits, show off a little and still make a big statement. Better yet, there are so many different trends and styles available on the market, allowing you to match taste with the occasion.
It is worth mentioning that trends in jewellery are not a yearly statement, but rather fluid styles that change according to the season. With that said, summer is about to hit the southern hemisphere, so Australia’s jewellery is moving towards more colourful, exciting statement pieces.
Although there are countless styles of jewellery found all over the world, there are a few countries that stand out as pioneers and global trendsetters. This post is going to focus on the big three; the UK, France and the US.
Great Britain has been rolling out a lot of bold, contemporary and vivid colours in their latest pieces. At the moment, some of the best trends coming out of the UK are ocean-blue jewels. These vibrant gems—such as the one featured in this Batalha Topaz cocktail ring—are mesmerising in their own right. They also do a great job of accentuating colourful summer outfits.
Emeralds are also a hot commodity these days, offering up a palette of verdant green to inject a little more colour into your summer look. Bar necklaces—such as this White Topaz bar piece made a resurgence too, thanks to the season’s lower necklines. Other trends emerging from the UK include geometric studs and the timeless style of pearls.
One of the biggest trends to emerge from the United States this season has been the revival of the hoop earring. Vintage styles—such as these Aris hoops—have been brought back from the ‘90s with gusto. And in the earring space, we’ll see tasselled/fringed earrings (think festival/outdoor occasions) and ball drop earrings that offer a more evening style, mimicking the colourfulness of tassel styles. A few overlapping themes have appeared from the UK, too, such as the use of pearls and coloured stone rings. Choker necklaces have come back in full force, however this season we’re going to see a minimalist look—more delicate and feminine rather than chunky and grungy; along with the refined drop pendant style necklaces, taking centre stage with delicate and innovative design.
French trends are mostly inspired by Anglo-American collections, but tend to add in a few of their own eccentricities and they set the benchmark when it comes to fashion. Pendants, gold hoop earrings and pearls have all become popular within France, as well as the delicate chokers and bar necklaces. There are some unique looks to come from the French though, such as neo hand bracelets. One of the most revolutionary trends to grow from France is their ear cuffs—an inventive style that definitely catches your eye.
