Statement Jewelry Trends of 2022 that will Elevate your Holiday Outfits!
COVER STORY / 2021-11-08
Thinking of jewelry as an investment should remain your thought process while planning your next purchase. Statement jewelry is utterly trend-proof. And what’s a classic without some new shapes, enamels, or metal color and a great seasonal design refresh? Here, we turn to the fashion mavens and celebs – the people who see everything out there and come up with the absolute best trends for us to drool over each season. From bold color stories to modern cocktail rings, chain links you've never seen before, and a very cool lock-and-key story, see what's trending in jewelry to buy now that will also stand the test of time.
Lock & Key
A big trend in jewelry for fall 2022 are locks and keys. You can find lock & key hoops, keychain style rings, and all this looks like fancy family heirlooms. Both chic and delightfully irrational, keys worn around the neck have been trending for a few seasons now. Lock and key designs are here to stay, but make sure yours stands out even more with a large pendant.
Charms & Rainbows
The return of the quirky charm jewels takes inspiration from the '80s friendship trend. It's about mixing your beaded bracelets in fun colors with quirky charms. Designers are doing a luxe version of charm jewelry this year, mixing with a more joyful mood with serious statement pieces. The feel-good colors of charms paired with crystal-embellished necklaces are set to be the upcoming season’s best sellers. Think about a silver chain choker to make a statement with a vibrant spectrum of colorful charms. These modern-day charms are really versatile and there's no right or wrong way to wear them. This is what makes these fun, whimsical pieces the ultimate mood boosters as well.
Bold Golds
Why not add a golden touch for those bright dull cold days? Gold-toned jewelry is a timeless staple that always sparks happiness and confidence. From a chain necklace to a sculptural ring to a pair of chic hoops, gold is the metal of choice this year. It literally goes with every outfit, takes you from day to night, and looks cool layered with other necklaces in your collection. Trade in your smooth gold hoops for a textured pair this season.
Pearls
Pearls have been having a moment for a while now, especially when they're done in modern ways. These ivory beauties are effortlessly classic and feminine. Did we mention pearls are great to pair or layer with other pieces from your jewelry collection? These oceanic jewels have long been an elegant adornment, but new ways of incorporating them have gone above and beyond the classic strand. Get yourself cuffs with pearls embedded or rings with a pearl droplet. There’s no dearth of designs to choose to your liking. From drop earrings to layered necklaces, there's a style for you for sure.
Nature inspired motifs
Flora and fauna are popping up in jewelry trends as delicate charms and embedded motifs. For some designers, it is a way to show appreciation for the little backyard creatures, while for others, it is a way to get inspired by nature as closely as possible. Fall 2022 will see a plethora of nature-inspired motifs, with a collection of earrings, necklaces, and rings featuring gem-encrusted beetles. Butterflies are another winged critter getting glammed up in jewelry collections. There’s nothing like good statement butterfly necklaces and leaf pattern stacking rings.
