1. This is the headingParisian

Classic Parisian jewelry dominated the runways, with layers of gold bracelets, emblem rings, poised pearls, and layered neck chains. Backed by  a sense of daring, there have been bold reinventions of the classic Parisian jewelry. At Dior, the pearl necklace was embellished with rhinestones, at Givenchy, pearls were worn asymmetrically, and the anklet resurfaced in chic, fine gold.

2. Punk

Goth, grunge, metal and rock lovers are going to be very happy this season because androgynous jewelry with boxy designs are trending majorly this winter. Celebrate the rebellious spirit of the late 1970s with stacks of piercings and bondage style studded chokers. Surf the punk wave this season, with long, glittering rhinestone earrings, oversized chain link necklaces and neon bursts of color acting as equally tasty side dishes.

3. Oversized chainlinks
