When it comes to jewelry, there’s timeless and then there are trends – and today we are talking trends. What’s fun, stylish and up-to-the-minute for rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings? We stopped in at Hollie Winter Fine Jewelry in Germantown to find out more about the top 2020 jewelry trends and to get a look at some stunning pieces that illustrate the looks.
Layering bracelets and necklaces, and stacking rings, is red-hot for 2020. With necklaces, you can go bold or delicate. The difference in lengths can be dramatic or subtle. The goal is to be unique. Create a story, suggests Hollie Winter sales associate Ashley Lunsford. You can pull together an amazing layered look with your child’s birthstone, a diamond pendant from your grandmother and a chain-link necklace. The combinations are endless.
When you layer bracelets, try a chain link, a tennis bracelet and a bangle (or two!) to create a personalized look. For rings, stacking is a sophisticated, contemporary style that allows you to showcase more than one ring. Don’t be afraid to mix stones – stack those diamonds with an emerald band for a cool pop of color.
Incorporate other trends as you layer. From the 1980s, the personalized touch is making a big comeback with initials, names and meaningful dates or phrases. From the same era, chain-link necklaces and bracelets are once again very on-trend.
A choker paired with a medium length diamond-by-the-yard necklace and a longer teardrop or Y necklace makes a dramatic statement.
Go subtle with delicate chains and a personalized pendant.
A large chain-link bracelet looks amazing with a diamond tennis bracelet and smaller bangles. Stacked bracelets are great for spring when we break out our three-quarter-length sleeves.
We love the stacked rings trend!
We know, Mama always said to stick to white or yellow gold – no mixing! But times have changed and mixing your metals is a great look. Necklaces, bracelets, rings – as you layer, feel free to mix the metals.
“It’s much more fun,” says Ashley. “Just pick the pieces you like and wear them. Rose gold is not quite as popular right now, but if you like it, you should add it in.”
Yellow gold earrings, paired with a stacked combination of white and yellow gold bracelets and a white gold ring? You bet!
Create an elegant look using both white and yellow gold. We love how the white gold accent on the yellow gold bracelet ties the look together.
The exception to stacking is engagement rings. The trend now is to wear it alone to let your diamond take center stage. After the “I dos,” jazz up your solitaire with stackables of all colors and shapes.
The iconic solitaire with a round, radiant or oval cut is making a comeback in a big way. “They are flying out the door!” says Ashley. (For something a little more unique, see trend #4 for a vintage cut that is currently in vogue.)
Classic yet current is a trend we can get behind, especially for a ring you’ll cherish for the rest of your life.
An exquisite diamond is the focal point of this elegant engagement ring.
After the wedding, a double wedding band with diamonds looks incredible paired with a classic solitaire engagement ring.
For engagement rings and beyond, the shift is away from pear cut to round, radiant and oval. A surprising trend is making a big comeback from the Victorian era: the rose cut diamond, so named for its resemblance to the most romantic of flowers. A rose cut has a flat bottom and a domed top with three to 24 facets. The flat bottom gives the illusion of a larger surface for the diamond to shine, and no facets on the underside give the gem a lovely transparent, ethereal look.
While diamonds will always be a girl’s best friend, colored stones are chic and trendy for 2020. Most popular for this year: emeralds, sapphires, and light blue stones such as aquamarine and topaz. They are dazzling in any setting, from vintage to classic to modern.
The rose cut first became popular about 500 years ago, when diamonds were cut by hand. The facets were intended to sparkle in the evening candlelight when most ladies donned their jewels.
Blue and green gemstones are a touch of lovely color and look beautiful mounted in both yellow and white gold.
With eye-catching rings like this one, we can understand why colored stones are so popular this year.
For earrings, Ashley gives us two words: big hoops. The best thing about this trend is the adaptability, she says. You will look equally fabulous wearing them with a cocktail dress or paired with a denim jacket. Hoops show off well with a low, sleek ponytail – and bigger ones go great with loose waves. Go with a medium hoop for work or casual, and go huge for a fun night out. In keeping with the layering trend, these earrings look fantastic with multiple ear piercings – wear your large hoops in the lobe and smaller hoops and studs up the side of your ear.
Hoops have shown resiliency in the fashion world. Popular in the 1960s and again in the 1990s, they are a statement piece for today.
Diamond hoops draw attention to your face and complement any outfit. “Wear a hat and big diamond hoops for a chic and flattering look,” says Ashley.
When wearing any of this year’s trends, don’t be afraid to experiment. Wear the jewelry you love and feel happy in – don’t wait for a special occasion.
