COVER STORY / 2021-05-25
Anyone who likes Marylin Monroe would probably know this song “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend.” Summer 2021 has re-triggered a mild obsession with jewelry. We’re not talking about diamond engagement rings or demi-fine jewelry brands, but everyday jewelry trends specifically. Jewelry, fine or not, can be passed on for generations to come. And whether your taste in jewelry is traditional or trendy, 2021’s spring/summer jewelry trends are bound to run the full gambit in your life. Keep reading to find out which trends you’ll want to wear come summer 2021.
1. Single or Mismatched earrings
The jewelry trend that won’t be slept on in 2021 is the single and mismatched earrings. This is a trend that’s been trying to come into the spotlight for some time now. This season saw fresh takes coming from Fendi, Alberta Ferretti, and many more fashion houses. If your jewelry is not mismatching on each lobe, what are you even doing?!
Jewelry has been veering towards more gender-fluid pieces, which culminated in the spring/summer 2021 collections. Need more inspiration? Try to recall Harry Styles’s 2019 Met Gala moment when he showed up wearing a single pearl earring.
2. Charms and Beads
Shouldn’t this trend be called ‘charm-ing’? Sorry for the pun, but charms and beads are definitely delightful jewelry trends this year. Get a necklace with your initials, and it'll become a part of your everyday outfit. On the other hand, a colorful fruity beads necklace is also too cute to resist!
3. Long Chains and Oversized Pendants
Chains have been the simplest form of neck jewelry that we’ve known. And this year, the long ones are here to stay, but make sure yours stands out even more with a large pendant. Pendants, especially spherical ones that are heavy on metal and geometric elements were spotted everywhere in designer collections for spring-summer 2021. Everyone from Chloé to Dior to Tory Burch had their own forms of long necklaces, ushering in the rebirth of the jewelry staple. Compared to the past few seasons filled with ’90s chokers, it was refreshing to see long necklaces trending. Wear them over blouses, T-shirts, and even swimsuits.
4. Pearl
Pearls have been having a moment for a little while now. From apparel embellishments to hair accessories, pearls are everywhere. And they are only going to be stronger in 2021.
If the prospect of piling on statement jewelry, you may want to opt for this timeless jewelry trend. Don’t be fooled, we’re not referring to dainty baubles or even the precious pearls. The surprise element for the trend this year lies in the styling of layered and mismatched pearls as seen on the runways. The more, the merrier is how you’ll make your summertime pearls a full affair to remember!
5. Textured Metallic
The collections of designers for spring/ summer 2021 had bangles everywhere. Yes, metallic bangles that we used to stack up to the brim a decade back. At Chloé, the stack-attack was back, whereas, at Lavin and Jacquemus, statement hammered earrings reigned. All the evidence has made it very clear that textured metallic jewelry is very much back in business.
The crushed designs are the perfect way to branch out from your classic choices.
