Top Trends in Jewellery for this Summer


The catwalks have spoken, and the forecast for jewellery this summer is set to sizzle. Whether you want to splash out on colour, add some texture or work an edgy look, your match in accessories' heaven is right around the corner. Read on for the top trends in jewellery for this summer and make a date to browse your local boutique.

 
 
1. Embrace being Single -


This season saw models gliding down the catwalk sporting one statement earring, and jewellery designers have leapt onboard. Go big or keep things subtle; this look can be curated to be as out there as you’d like it to be. Premium designers, the ​Jewel Tree​, ​are pioneers of striking earring sets so rather than buying a one-piece, invest in one of their contemporary ‘odd couple’ pairs to keep your accessories look on its toes.

2. Let your Colours Pop - 

Some seasons, there is an overarching colour dominating the high street. Others, it’s all about monochrome or neutral tones. This summer, you can expect to discover a kaleidoscope of
colours in your local jewellery boutique. Experiment and find your new favourite shade, and don’t be afraid to mix up your colours. Adorn your finger with this ​green onyx ring ​​for a sophisticated approach to this trend.

 
3. Step into the third Dimension -


Throw some shapes into your look this summer with a 3D statement piece. Round baubles are at the top of this trend, but as long as it’s not flat, you’re onto a winner. The 3D jewellery trend works across all items, so decide whether you want to embellish your neck, ears, wrists or fingers and choose your statement piece. This distinct ​pyramid ring​​ can be personalised with gemstones of your choice, which will (literally) speak volumes about your style.

4. The Return of the Choker -


It’s been a while since collar necklaces were trending, but this summer they’re making a much overdue comeback. Inject some red-carpet glamour into your evening outfit by sprucing up muted apparel up with a head-turning, jewel encrusted choker. Or, keep things simple with this gold vermeil necklace​​ which hugs the neck and adds an elegant finish to any ensemble.




 
5. Long Necklaces are in -


Flirty, feminine, and just the right level of whimsical; you can expect to find a multitude of lariat styles in your favourite jewelers this summer. If you’re wary of the choker, a delicate chain is the perfect alternative. Longer necklaces can be relied upon to soften your look and maintain a casual yet poised image. We love this ​urban bar necklace​​ by ​Jewel Tree​ which is available with a range of onyx stones.

6. Vintage is back - 


Dust off your grandma’s jewellery box, this season’s vintage look is all about capturing that heirloom glow. Rest assured if you don’t have any retro trinkets at home, the high street has you covered. Jewellery designers have sought inspiration from antique pieces to create lockets, charms and nostalgic motifs. The heirloom look is about channelling a thoughtful, sentimental base, with a contemporary edge.
