The Biggest Jewelry Trends of 2017

We ladies love our jewelry. Whether it’s for everyday wear, that fab weekend party, a special dinner date, or a dream wedding; no girl is without her jewelry. The biggest challenge is keeping up with what’s hot in the fashion and jewelry world. 

Join us as we break down the hottest jewelry trends 2017 had (and still has) to offer! Discover modern neck pieces, unique wedding bands for women, and beautiful bling bits for your wrists and ears with the help of this handy list.

1. Many Fingers, Many Rings 

The days of modesty when ladies wore only one ring on one hand are long gone. Today, one of the hottest trends is wearing a number of rings on several fingers, or stacking rings on one finger. With modern women expressing themselves more and more, we are seeing a lot more diverse styles and various ways of wearing jewelry. 

There is also a very practical application of stackable rings: bridal sets! Couples who plan to get married can now choose from matching pairs of diamond wedding rings and engagement rings. The wedding ring and engagement ring in a bridal set are designed to fit together when worn stacked on the bride’s finger. Their designs perfectly complementing each other.

2. Statement Rings

Just as women have taken to wearing multiple rings, they have also developed an affinity for bold and big designs. The statement ring continues to retain its popularity among the many jewelry trends 2017 has been rocking out so far. 

Statement rings should never be missing from a girl’s stash, even if it’s just a single cocktail ring or two. Bridal Fashion Week 2017 showed that cocktail rings are officially wedding jewelry, too. So be adventurous and don’t be afraid to add a few extra statement rings to your collection!

3. Vintage and Art Deco Designs     

If you’re not really into big and bold, why not try unique and detailed instead? Whimsical motifs are super trendy! The next time you go shopping for accessories, look around for leaf designs, elegant braids, and art deco styles. 

Are you looking for wedding jewelry? You could check out some unique wedding bands for women that incorporate some interesting filigree or milgrain designs. Vintage-inspired bands can be as enticing as any statement ring but not as flamboyant or attention-grabbing. Remember, modest doesn’t have to mean plain or boring!

4. Long Statement Necklace

This boho-chic style never seems to go out of fashion. It’s no surprise, though — this versatile accessory goes great with practically any clothing style. 

A huge pendant on a long metal chain is the most popular design. However, there are also a lot of casual versions that feature quirky pendants attached to a long cord, braided rope, or other non-metal material.

5. Collars and Chokers

 Chokers and collars are jewelry pieces that have been around for centuries, so they truly are timeless accessories. Styles have continuously evolved since the time of our ancient ancestors, but fashion trends do tend to come full circle, especially when it’s all about a piece of jewelry as timeless as this one. 

For occasions such as weddings or formal dinners, you can’t go wrong with a classic pearl or diamond-encrusted choker. For the bride-to-be, a choker or collar can be the perfect companion to the sleeveless wedding gown. 

To really stand out, consider a beaded lace choker peppered with tiny diamond embellishments or a layered crystal collar. Floral motifs are also big hit in 2017, so why not try a flower-inspired collar?

6. Layered Necklaces

They say; the more, the merrier. This applies to necklaces too! It gives you the perfect opportunity to showcase the many different jewelry pieces you have collected. Don’t be shy to show off what you’ve got. We’re all guilty of hoarding accessories sometimes, it’s always such fun to dress up our outfits with them!

Here’s a quick tip: Layer several pieces of varied lengths for the best effect. Use only one statement pendant, preferably for the longest necklace, and have smaller pendants for the rest. Or do it the other way around, wear a statement choker and then layer longer necklaces under it.

7. Statement Earrings

If there are statement necklaces, then of course there’ll be statement earrings too! Everyone loves big and bold accessories, and it’s really because statement jewelry allows your personality to shine. 

Wow the world with a pair of bright and sparkly earrings in your favorite styles, but don’t forget to have them in twice the usual size.

8. Hoop Earrings

When it comes to jewelry trends, 2017 is rocking the ultra-popular hoop earrings. Still in line with the “bigger and bolder” theme surrounding most of this year’s trends, giant hoop earrings are getting some love, both on the runways and from some of your favorite female celebrities. 

Styles range from thick, plain gold hoops to hoops with beads, crystals, gems and other fancy or sparkly embellishments.

9. Cute, Fun Pendants

When it comes to showcasing your individuality through your jewelry, one simple trick is getting pendants that match your personality. And you’re in luck, because fun pendants are all the rage in 2017! Anything from cute charms to adorable statement pieces, you are bound to find a pendant or two that is just totally you. 

We think you really should have more than one, right? You can get quirky, chunky statement pieces for those casual days and fun trips with your friends. Then, get one or two sweet little ornaments with tiny diamonds that you can wear on special dates and formal occasions. 

10. Colored Metals   

Silver and gold are the world’s traditional jewelry metals, so white and yellow have been the common colors for most fine jewelry on the market. However, as more and more people embraced their individual personalities, jewelry makers rose up to the challenge, making more design options available to the public. 

We now have more than 5 metal options for our rings, and new colors to choose from. Thus, one of 2017’s hottest trends is colored metals! Whether you’re looking to buy a ring or bracelet for yourself, or shopping for wedding jewelry, try to check out the different metals available. 

Some unique wedding bands for women even feature mixed metals with two or three colors in one trendy ring. Who knows, you might find your new favorite piece of jewelry in dark grey titanium, elegant rose gold, or both!

11. Mismatched Earrings

We saw it at Paris Fashion Week this year so it’s a definitely a hot trend — yes, your earrings don’t have to match. A long time ago this might be considered a fashion faux pas, but not in 2017. Wearing mismatched earrings is the new way to flaunt your individuality! 

There are actually two fashion tactics here. One, you can wear just a single earring, but make it a one-of-a-kind statement piece. Or two, wear different earrings that truly don’t match to show off your avant-garde style.

Asymmetrical earrings are a slightly moderate variation of this trend. This involves wearing earrings with both matching and different elements. An example would be drop earrings that have the same length and the same centerpiece stone, but with accents of different shapes.

12. Tasseled Earrings

With fringe being a popular clothing trend this year, it is inevitable that this would also extend onto accessories and jewelry. Thus, we present to you the tasseled earrings! You might think that tassels seem out of place on an earring, but it can actually be surprisingly elegant. 

The secret is in the design. It can be as flamboyant as you expect with long tassels and colorful embellishments, or chic and sophisticated with the right colors and accents. It even goes great with diamonds!

13. Wrist and Arm Cuffs 

We really are seeing so much of the “bigger and bolder” style everywhere. Rising over traditional bracelet jewelry, wrist and arm cuffs graced runways this year. Seen in both ready-to-wear and bridal collections, there’s no doubt that this is another one of 2017’s biggest trends. 

Designs range from simple, solid metals to intricate patterns encrusted with beads and crystals. Brides can opt for elegant, diamond-encrusted cuffs to wear with their wedding gowns on the big day!

14. Stacked Bracelets

Again, the keyword is “more!” Traditional single bracelets might have been overshadowed by the cuffs, but if you wear them stacked or layered on your wrist, you’re all good. In fact, wear them all together to be right on trend!

Are you getting any ideas for your new jewelry collection yet? We hope you are. After all, it’s always a pleasure to get a new piece of jewelry to wear with your favorite outfits!
