1. Most Popular Jewelry Trends in 2013
Jewelry trends, just as fashion style, come and go frequently.
If you’re wondering what styles or trends are in store for jewelry in 2013, read below.
Bracelet styles are showcasing open bangles. These are more sparkly than your typical
bracelet, as they’re decorated with sparkles or spikes on the ends of the openings, even
arrows.
Large finger rings that have been the rage for a couple of years are morphing in 2013 into
full-finger rings. The rings can be dainty in style (think filigree scrolls) or “heavy metal.” The
choice is yours.
Ear cuffs are hot this year. Cleaner looking than multiple ear piercings, ear cuffs nevertheless
provide an edgy look to your face. Be sure to place your hair behind your ears (or in a
ponytail or top knot) to show them off.
Upper finger rings. Rings that sit at the bottom of your fingers are so 2012! These rings –
whether made of fine gold, silver, diamonds, crystals, or even plastic – sit on your fingers
between your first and second knuckles. Like the ear cuff, they provide an up-to-the minute
look for a classic staple.
Jewelry color blocking also is trending upwards. This entails wearing rings, necklaces or
earrings with multiple colors. Or wear multiple pieces that include bold colors.
Black and white jewelry also is coming into vogue. Rings that are made of black onyx and
silver, for example, go well with the black and white trend that’s popular now in clothing,
accessories and shoes.
Rose gold and pink gemstones also are popular today. You’ve no doubt seen the colored
rose gold and even rose-colored/pinkish diamonds (real or not) on rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and earrings. Rose tone metals and rose gold flatter virtually every skin tone.
Art Deco styles also are important this year. These are rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets,
etc. that sport geometric patterns of triangles, squares, rectangles, and even circles. If you
have some jewelry worn by your grandmother or great-grandmother from the 1920s and
1930s, showcase them now!
Statement necklaces – necklaces of many strands – persist as an of-the-moment trend this
year.
Another big trend from last year that will stick around this year is jewelry that’s been inspired
2. by the natural world. Think wearable art. This trend can come in many forms, from the simple
and elegant (such as a necklace that evokes a willow twig), to dramatic cuffs and pendants
that are made of a mixture of wood, metal and precious stones.
Diamond jewelry always stays in style. Trends in diamonds this year include larger stones,
vintage-inspired cuts, diamonds cut in a four-clover style (for good luck), colored diamonds,
and more.
