If you are looking to switch up your everyday gold and silver go-to pieces with something more colorful (and more personal), opt for birthstone jewelry. Birthstones are the gemstones that represent a person’s month of birth – like Amethyst for February or Emerald for May – and they are said to have healing properties. Birthstone bling is a great way to express your personal style while exploring your creativity. You can have your pick from either birthstone pendants, handmade birthstone rings, or ultra-popular birthstone earrings. And, as no two stones are ever the same, your chosen piece will most probably be one of a kind. Sounds great, doesn’t it?

#2. Blingy chokers

This season, don’t shy away from color. Have fun with your accessories and infuse your outfits with a little 90’s nostalgia (and hey, a little bit of the 80s can be mixed in too!). No, you are never too old for a bold rainbow necklace or a bright and colorful pair of heavyweight earrings that move as you move. Sculptural resin in vibrant hues, elevated plastics, colored beads (from statement pink baroque pearls to oversized colored gemstones), etc. all indicate that pigment is indeed having a moment.

#6. All-natural

Nature-inspired jewelry has been around for a long time, but it has seen a spike in popularity in the past years as people become more environmentally conscious. This year, earthy pieces made out of shells, wood, feathers, or raw stones have taken over the runways. Besides being more sustainable, natural jewelry adds that authentic, nature-inspired feel to your look – whether you’re dressed up for the farmer’s market or a cocktail party.

After dominating the jewelry industry for years now, gold is taking a step back to allow forgotten silver to take the main stage this season. The new designs hitting the runways this year come with experimental elements and sculptural jewelry shapes that are sure to reinvent the hardly novel silver accessory. Stock up on silver bling, and pair it with anything from sundresses to power suits.

#8. Modern pearls

Pearls have been top of the jewelry game for a very long time. However, in the past few years, designers have taken a different approach to this iconic gem by creating unique pieces featuring non-classic pearls: be they drop-shaped, baroque, or completely uneven specimens that are perfect through their imperfections. The modern pearl has taken over mainstream fashion, and this year, the trend is stronger than ever. From oversized pearl jewelry to pearl-adorned bags or even shoes, this classic staple can make any outfit look trendy and on point.

#9. Oversized earrings

Hop on the trend and invest in a few pieces which you can count on to make a bold statement or give your looks a touch of glam. From chunky gold hoops to blingy dangles, there is a pair out there for every style.
