Summer Jewelry Trends: Bold, Strong, and Retro Looks Are Here.
Summer is always a great time of year to go and express yourself with fashion and jewelry. Warm weather allows for a lot of lighter clothing that can pair with jewelry and show off your unique sense of style.
2022 is no different this year, with many jewelry styles and combinations scorching up the runways and brightening people's looks. This year's biggest trends are calling back to the late 90s and early 00s in bright rainbow gems and colorful pops highlighted across most pieces and outfits. The bright colors in crystal gems can be used to accent more neutral looks. Colorful gems can also be used to play off of already colorful ones by using accent secondary or tertiary colors.
The next throwback aesthetic making its way into jewelry again is butterfly details and butterfly-shaped jewelry. From rings to necklaces, the butterfly looks of 90s fashion are back in a big way. Whether as an accent piece to differentiate from what you’re wearing or to pair with something else with a butterfly design, the look is taking over a lot of fashion and jewelry profiles in unique ways to make the old fashion trend feel fresh and new.
These aesthetics of colorful gems and butterflies are giving off the more is more, maximalism, that populated much of the late 80s through early 00s. The bigger is bolder looks from that period are back in a lot of ways, from fashion to media, but in jewelry, we’re seeing it a lot more.
Doubling down on that you’ll see a lot of large accent chokers, and chunky/multiple rings. Baguette rings are back en vogue as well, these larger chunky-styled double-walled rings with gems that encircle them pair perfectly with the rainbow gem trend right now. This trend of having rings that are a full spectrum of color within them helps you match any outfit or stand out as a strong accent piece for neutral clothing.
The other trend that is going strong is unique or odd link chains, whether just larger thick links or asymmetrical links, or mismatched links, these are showpieces that can be stand-alone or can be stacked with other link chains, or the aforementioned chokers. They can go well with any other jewelry pieces that are trendy right now or can be the piece you use as an accent for your outfits.
The choice is up to you on how you pair your jewelry with so many powerful style piece types trending right now, you can go out this summer and be bold with your fashion.
