Jewelry Trends: all kinds of shapes, traditions and passions!
It is impossible to characterize jewelry trends in one word. Even one sentence will be not enough! After all, our favorite jewelry accessories get their new level. Now you can forget to take a bag with you, but forgetting a bracelet or earrings today is considered a sign of bad taste!
Donatella Versace recommends for each fashionista to create her own collection of trendy jewelry. Investing money only in clothes is senseless. In general, it is not surprising that designers paid particular attention to this segment of fashion. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the peak jewelry trends in order to get a couple of new products in time to replenish your jewelry box!
The main jewelry trends at the moment include the abundance of stones and rhinestones, multi-layering, large-scale parts and asymmetry. Please note, that most of them have large size, inserts of pearls and precious and/or semiprecious stones.
The simple Ring Rule
If we talk about jewelry trends in rings, we can’t forget about massive rectangular rings that can be worn in pairs or even on every finger. Also doubled and tripled rings that should be worn on phalanx or nails will be back into the fashion world. If you put them on the top of your gloves, you will totally get in trend. So the main thing is to remember that sets of unusual fashion rings are a win-win option! Do not be afraid to combine and to show your crazy imagination.
Bracelet Dance
Your hands should look well maintained - always. Especially - since the popularity of large and noteworthy jewelry bracelets in the coming season. Such bracelets scream and declare themselves.
Women’s jewelry bracelets will be made mainly from silver metal (that repeats the theme of 2016). But, to the basic materials leather and wood will also be added. Particularly relevant will be bracelets, stylized as ancient national jewelry: Indian, Turkish and Greek. This trend is closely intertwined with winter fashion jewelry bracelets, which are made under Egyptian and Indian jewelry. During the coming season, fashion will also include bracelets with crystals, chains and thinned-threads with beads. Particular popularity will as well receive handmade bracelets.
Shine bright like a diamond
All kinds of bracelets can be worn over sleeves of jackets, coats, jackets, shirts. Such products should be done in the tone of clothing, or be so bright as to become the central element of the whole image.
Precious and semi-precious stones, crystals and rhinestones will become fashionable with the beginning of 2019 once again.
Gurus of the fashion industry rely on diversity and permissiveness, sending boring jewelry to the distant shelves. The main slogan of the near future is: ”There’s no way for cheapness!” So be careful while purchasing the next product – the rhinestones should be high-quality and sparkling. Therefore, it is better to look closely at jewelry with Swarovski elements. Femininity is totally in -in jewelry trends 2019 – like a thin chain and one bright accent.
Silver youth
Is there something more feminine than clear crystal? No? And if I say that there is? As for me, the most feminine combination is a thin chain and one single tiny rhinestone. I was becoming particularly hooked on such jewelry trends only during the last year, and now I am thinking – how much time have I lost! Although, on the other hand, my style was not feminine before, I came to this from the moment of growing up. So, probably, it happens to everyone. And, frankly, it seems to me that pearls are worth wearing only after you got the age of 20, not earlier.
Designer’s fantasy allows them to use a variety of jewelry materials. As a result, silver became a symbolic one among new jewelry trends 2019. For example, women’s jewelry bracelets in 2019 will be made mainly from silver metal. Fashionistas can also put accents to any part of their body, but mostly wear a lot of thin rings, chains or bracelets made of silver. In conclusion, silver jewelry is quite beautiful and elegant. It makes fashionistas more tender and young. Rings, necklaces and silver bracelets should be obligatory during the day, as in daylight it looks beautiful and natural. In 2019 silver jewelry will be very relevant, especially with semiprecious stones decorations of rings with moonstone and rock crystal.
What about earrings?
Talking about jewelry trends, it is impossible not to talk about earrings. They are always in vogue, only the sizes and shapes are changing. So it is believed that the earrings give ladies femininity, sophistication and attractiveness. If you prefer large earrings that simply cannot be missed, then in the 2019 season you will be really trendy. And the most popular products will totally have geometric shapes: squares, rhombuses, triangles and spirals.
Our ears should also get the appropriate trendy earrings, so this year’s collections appear in an angular style. And elongated earrings should look rough and solid. Long, hanging almost to the shoulders jewelry earrings, they provide an opportunity of unlimited choices in materials. You have to be maximally original. And the most important thing is that these earrings are worn by women of absolutely all ages. And this means that such a wonderful trend has no restrictions - neither for age, nor for style.
Boho, of course
By 2018, boho chic jewelry style returned to the fashion catwalks in its updated form. And, of course, it carries over into 2019! So, that we are terribly delighted – it’s natural.
Boho images can be very different: funny, fragile, brave, naive or sophisticated. Variety of forms, details, sentiments blurs the boundaries of this style. So that it gives rise to the endless disputes about the “real” boho. However, this diversity seems just a natural consequence of the style philosophy. People are different, and everyone has her own way of freedom and femininity.
Boho style appeared relatively recent. It was a combination of exquisite bohemian style and free hippie style. This style emerged as antithesis of glamour in its worst sense. Protest of total pink, leopard bandage dresses, heels with rhinestones, acid colors and velour sports suits. In its essence boho is a real expression of your personality and creative nature. In order to feel harmony in your boho look and feel this style, you will need to find something rebellious and unusual within yourself. And the most importantly – you must be true and sincere. Even in jewelry. That is boho style – casual and ethnic elements in combination of high-quality street fashion. So in 2019 we meet cute boho accessories in the form of chains or laces with fur pompons, bone figures, large medallions and pendants. And they need to be worn only in bundles.
