1st Trend: Jewelry on Your Body

An exciting way to spruce up your outfit is by adding jewelry to your body! Forget about using an interesting belt to add personality to an outfit. How about layering a chain structured as a vest or a bra top? There are so many options out there to choose from, and these are just some of them.

Sparkly Top

When you hear about a sparkly top, this metal top made from rhinestones might not be the first thing that comes to your mind. However, it is the perfect accessory to help elevate a simple look.

Jewel Top

This versatile piece can be worn over a variety of outfits. Pair it with a mini dress for a perfect night out look, or over something more formal (like the model above) to jazz up an otherwise “boring” look.

2nd Trend: Personalizing Bling

To make sure you spend your well-earned dollars wisely, pick pieces that really speak to you. Personalized pieces will stand up for the rest of time. Janice loves to change her charms and chains frequently based on what else she’s wearing and how she wants them to be. Items like baby signet rings and personalized signature necklaces can add an interesting-yet-delicate touch to your everyday looks.

3rd Trend: Layering Jewelry

The more the merrier, layer up and stack on! Cocktail rings are now an everyday piece. Whether you wear just one for day and stack more for night, they are a timeless piece always welcome in any jewelry wardrobe. You’ll notice new pieces are more sculptural, yet they still hold their timeless charm. You can still wear your more delicate thin bands alongside the more bold statement cocktail rings. People even layer smart watches with analog watches for the actual time and to honour the bared-down classic technology.

The Double Dune Ring is great if you are a minimalist who wants to master the art of layered jewelry. This ring gives off a clean look to your hands while still doing the job of layering.

Toni Ring Set

Most people might be against mixing different metals when it comes to accessorizing. However, this ring set from Jenny Bird will put your doubts at rest.

Viviana Ring

Price: $118.00

This chunky ring will add a bold yet polished touch to your everyday look. You can layer it with thinner bands or rock it on its own. Layer up and stack on!

Loop and Pretzel Rings

If you want to enter the year with a colourful splash, take a look at these loop and pretzel rings from Corey Moranis. Layer different styles for the perfect spring accessory!

4th Trend: Permanent Jewelry
