By now, it's obvious that we live for a trend recap, and today, we're digging into the necklaces gaining momentum at

the top of the year. Less than a full month into 2022, a whirlwind of styles has already graced the necks (and feeds) of It girls across the globe. And while jewelry trends don't cycle as rapidly as their clothing counterparts, we've still noticed a few, in particular, falling into favor.  

Among them, pearls have made a strong comeback—this time shedding their stuffy, prim veneer for a cool, abstract twist of amorphous shapes and vivid color. Also due for their shine this season? Statement link chains and one of our personal favorites, nameplate necklaces. There are a few more where that came from, so keep scrolling to check out all the styles we predict will be huge.
