Adding texture to an outfit can bring out the tone of its colors and add the perfect finishing touch to any look. By combining different textures, jewelry lovers are creating unique looks that express their individual style.
Another current jewelry trend is multiple piercing layouts. From helix piercings that offer a hint of sparkle to double lobe piercings-which refresh the ear instantly-multiple piercings became very popular during 2016. Big trends in 2020 may not be adhered to as stringently as they were years ago but with so many different combos available right now there’s something for everyone when it comes to body adornment.
Perhaps one of the biggest jewelry trends this year is statement necklaces. Statement necklaces vary from chunky pieces of metal studded with rhinestones to dainty chains dotted with charms and precious stones; these necklaces have made a huge splash in both high street fashion boutiques and designer stores alike as more women want to add a touch of glamour to their every day wardrobe without sacrificing comfort or pocket size.
Chokers, a classic trend from past seasons, also fit in well act this trendy niche, too – so it looks like some things really do stand the test of time.
Overall, 2016’s great range of jewelry trends has seen everything from eclectic mix & match ensembles through to single statement pieces reigning supreme on social media feeds. The sheer number and variety of choices has lead to big changes; evidently there’s no right or wrong way when it comes to styling your body accessory collection this season – 2016 has truly established that anything goes.
Statement Pieces
Statement pieces have been popular for quite some time, and this summer is no different. People have an easier time than ever expressing themselves with unique jewelry, and statement pieces remain one of the most popular ways to make a bold statement. Large earrings with glitzy stones and colorful designs help create a big look for those who want to stand out from the crowd.
Beaded necklaces in bright colors, like cobalt blue and dark turquoise, can be layered or worn alone depending on the occasion. Statement rings are also very popular; these rings often contain thick bands and large stones that feature detailed cutouts for added flair. There’s really no denying that statement pieces will be huge during 2016, so anyone looking to make a fashion statement should keep their eyes open for the latest jewelry trends from their favorite retailers.
Chunky bracelets are always a great way to stand out while making sure your accessories stay effortless. Larger chains with charms and irregular shapes provide texture and depth to any outfit, while still giving off an effortless vibe. Minimal chunky necklaces also offer balance and texture; they go great with almost anything women wear-tops, dresses, or jumpsuits-while still providing a unique touch of sparkle.
This summer season is all about having fun with fashion, so why not try experimenting with statement bracelets? It will definitely set you apart from those who stick to more subdued accessories.
Even though statement pieces will play an important role this season, there’s still plenty of room for classic styles as well. Silver cuffs are timeless additions to any wardrobe since they pair easily with any outfit – casual or dressy – without being overly ostentatious or showy. Necklaces featuring subtle diamonds add sophistication to any ensemble while still looking classic enough to wear year after year.
Filigree silver rings are great options as well; they go great when paired with other metals like gold or rose gold or even when worn alone they make just as impressive of a style statement. Whether it is delicate pieces or bolder designs that you choose this season, one thing is certain-classic styles will always remain timeless.
Color
It is no surprise that 2016 has seen a shift in the style of classic jewelry, from see-through thin metals and multiple stones to stronger bold-colored pieces. While most traditional fine jewelry stores stock white gold, yellow gold and sterling silver pieces decorated with diamonds, colored gemstones are quickly becoming a popular choice.
Colored gemstone and bold precious metal pieces are taking 2016 by storm as they provide many fashion conscious ladies the opportunity to make an unforgettable statement.
Vintage styles are also on trend this season with unique cuts such as emeralds, cushion shapes, ovals and many others gracing runways worldwide. Jewelry with old mine cuts or rose cut shapes have been rejuvenated through advanced laser cutting techniques which allow diamond cutters to create one-of-a-kind stones for jewelry makers to enhance their iconic designs.
Layering with different colored stones is also popular this season as mixing colors can create volume to your outfit without making them look overly colorful or busy. Combining deep tones like black onyx, tourmalines and other dark hued gems can be fun for day and evening looks alike.
In addition to setting trends with sparkling gems, pearls have made a huge come back in 2016. One of the world’s oldest gems is not just boasting its classic beauty lately but also wearing luxurious yet relaxed looks achieved by combining different colors of pearls together.
Cluster pearl necklaces in combination with metallic stars and hearts make even bigger statements while a simple single strand mikimoto pearl necklace will keep you contemporary yet timeless at all times. Rich golden colors are seen as a go-to option right now creating beautiful combination of warm hues and stylish pearls.
Boho Vibes
Boho-inspired jewelry seems to be popping up everywhere this season. Many fashionistas are showing off simple but statement-making pieces like gold-plated rings with quirky details or patterned stones. A few of the most popular styles include midi rings, large statement rings, and fun chunky rings made of metal and semi-precious stones. Mix and match multiple types of rings to create a personalized look that everyone will love.
Long necklaces are also all the rage right now too. Whether you prefer delicate gold chains with crystal pendants or something more bold such as a large drop necklace, there is something for everybody’s taste. Most pieces feature intricate detail work so they can stand alone or can be layered for an even more eye-catching effect.
Lastly, long earrings have become especially trendy for fall 2016. Don’t stick to one pair – mix it up with drops in different materials, lengths, shapes and sizes. From metallic teardrops to hoops in unique finishes such as rose gold, don’t be afraid to get creative when it comes to accessorizing your look. Tassels paired with chandelier earrings are also chic trends that make any outfit look instantly glamourous.
Pearls
The trend of pearls has been going strong for several years and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. This season, we are seeing the resurgence of pearls across all price points – from high street items to the higher ended couture pieces. From cultured freshwater, baroque pearl chains to beaded chain necklaces, this look is sure to stay hot in 2016 and beyond.
When it comes to pearl jewelry, layering is a key look that you’ll see over and over again. With long strands of exotic pearls as the centerpiece draped over chokers with delicate chains or layered bib necklaces surrounding smaller pearls – or even better, multi-strand chokers – this trend takes stacked looks in a whole new direction.
By taking several elements and combining them together, you’ll end up with an unexpected mix ofPearl styles that works perfectly for a chic everyday look.
One thing we love about this style is how versatile it can be. Add a strand of pearls mixed into your already existing stack of bracelets or create a glamorous look with tassels mixed in between long layers of beads and chains – no matter which route you take, pearls will keep on shining bright.
And if you’re feeling extra daring, try adding charms like stars or hearts to your necklace for an even more unique appeal. No matter how you choose to wear them, pearl jewelry never goes out of style.
Power Cuff Bracelets
Power cuffs are some of the hottest pieces of jewelry for 2016, as they have a modern look with a hint of vintage flair. Power cuffs can be made from any material but the most popular mediums currently are silver and gold. They come in a variety of widths and sizes for both men and women and often display intricate patterns or designs.
Many power cuff bracelets have symbols on them such as lightning bolts, skulls, zodiac signs or geometric shapes. Sometimes they feature precious or semi-precious stones like diamonds, rubies, emeralds, or sapphires set in either metal bezel settings or open frame settings.
Charm Bracelets: A Little Fun For Everyone
Charm bracelets are continuing to make a comeback this year with people all over wanting to accessorize their wrists with little reminders of love and fun. Typically charm bracelets will include various little trinkets such as locks and keys, hearts, bows, teddy bears, trees, unicorns or initials that can signify meaningful events in life like births or anniversaries. There is also animal themed charms with designs ranging from dragonflies to cats and dogs.
Each charm symbolizes something special and gives the wearer an opportunity to show off what’s important to them in life. Charms can also be custom made depending on one’s needs so that it can be unique for each individual wearing it.
Statement Rings: Making a Statement That Lasts
Having an eye-catching ring on your finger is one way to make your outfit stand out from the crowd in 2016. Statement rings come in many different shapes and sizes but are generally quite large which allows them to speak volumes even at a glance.
Popular materials used in statement rings include sterling silver, 14K white gold or rose gold combined richly detailed stones like purple amethysts, pink opals & blue topaz creating gorgeous combinations that complement every wardrobe choice without fail (think solitaire style). What’s more is that statement rings don’t need a band or setting – they achieve their high-impact effect without any additional ornamentation because they are simply stunning creations on their own.
Chain Link Necklaces
The chain link necklace is an accessory that will never go out of style. This can be seen in the current jewelry trends for this year, which includes a variety of chain link necklaces. From classic gold chains to bead chokers and colorful layering options, there is something for everyone.
Perhaps one of the most popular styles of chain link necklaces this season are bead chokers. These statement pieces have been worn by many celebrities and fashionistas over the past few years and show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Whether it’s a delicate pearl strand or an array of colorful crystals, these pieces add an instant touch of rocker-chic glamour to any ensemble.
If you’re looking for more subtle options then you’ll definitely want to check out the selection of colorful layering necklaces. This look is perfect for people who like to mix and match textures, tones, and styles.
It also allows you to pair different lengths, shapes and materials such as silver metals or wooden beads for unique looks that still remain on-trend and stylish. Finally when it comes to statement making, nothing quite matches the timeless elegance of gold chains – especially this season with its rich golden hues perfect for any occasion or age group.
Shinier is Better
Jewelry trends for 2016 have really gone over the top shine-wise. Gemstones in black, rose gold and hues of turquoise and pink are currently taking over retail stores as well as online retailers. The materials of choice seem to be sterling silver and gold finishes for necklaces, earrings, and rings; however within these base jewelry foundations a whole variety of new stones have been popping up from pearls to quartz.
The most noticeable trend among gemstones is their use with multiple stones and pieces being mixed together in one piece. This trend often takes inspiration from art deco looks – statement pieces strongly showcasing hints of both modernity and classic elements of jewelry design. Pieces commonly feature turquoise, lapis or chalcedony with simple details including geodes popping up everywhere around the mixing designs such as lockets or pendants.
Also unsurprisingly sparkling cubic zirconias are still reigning in popularity due to how they look like real diamonds at much lower pricing points. Sterling silver is also still very popular as a material choice given its clean classic appeal but with a twist when used with some new cuts such as marquise, baguette and triangle shapes rather than generic spherical cut stones used in CZ jewelry before this year’s fashion season began.
Midnight blues are definitely on point this summer especially those sleek sapphire colored items with pave settings found mostly in fine jewelry – that’s why it’s more common now than ever before even given the products affordability levels varying from low to high range pieces across different brands.
In conclusion western styles seem to be trending particularly hard occupying the bulk of retail space though there is room for Asian inspired designs mainly seen in brand luxury lines lately for customers who prefer them which proves innovation indeed has been positive among all sections of the jewelry fashion industry this summer so far.
