Jewelry Trends for 2020

0

Upcoming jewelry trends for 2020 will call for both natural elements and glitz and glamour but both in a simplistic and chic way. Circles, spheres, orbs, chunky chains, but also a touch of the romantic heirloom pieces all graced the fashion runways. We have collected all the details from the high fashion catwalks and put them together so when you make your choices from your jewelry box- you are sure to be in style!

Circles and Spheres

Those favorite hoop earrings you love will keep you right in style this year-the larger the better! Runways showed us that although earrings are sold in pairs, you don’t have to wear them that way. A large hoop on one side with a smaller pearl or gold spherical stud creates a collection instead of a pair. Any art deco inspired elements with the hoops or spheres is trending now also.

Chunky Layered Chains and Chokers

Yellow gold is still trending just as it was in the fall. This new year brings chunkier, thicker chained necklaces. Chokers layered thick and high upon the neck as well as long layers of chains are popular. You don’t have to stay with the yellow gold. White gold and silvers are celebrated also-it’s the lines of the jewelry that are the statement pieces. Y-shaped necklaces graced the runways and sometimes were even worn backward to add some glamour to barebacked gowns.

Art Deco and Heirloom

Along with the heavy chains and circular hoops, a touch of the romantic was added through heirloom and vintage pieces. The pop, sparkle, and color of the art deco era made it statement through the pieces also. The combination of the mechanical chains with the glitz of beautiful gemstones is a fun and fashionable way to wear a variety of pieces but stay in style. A touch of Bohemian flair with the heirloom pieces made some fun statements too!

Back to Nature

Many designs called for cues from nature including pearls, seashells, and tortoise shells. An eco-friendly vibe was moving across the runways. Pearls are a great way to capture these natural aspects and also incorporating the spherical trend.

Choosing the Perfect Piece of Jewelry for Her…

, 0

’Tis the season of gift-giving and the stress of choosing the perfect gift can really get to you. Perhaps you are feeling more more “bah humbug” than “Merry Christmas.” We can help ease those holiday stressors with these tips for choosing the perfect piece of jewelry for her.

Take Notice of What She Wears…

    Take a look at what she wears daily. Are her earrings dangly or does she prefer studs? Is the jewelry she already has more yellow gold or white gold or silver? Is she a gemstone lover? Does she wear bracelets? Are her necklaces shorter or longer around her neck? All of these questions can help you discover her style. Maybe you are more of a visual learner? In that case, let’s look at some options from our gallery.

Look at Your Budget…

Our showroom holds pieces from many different price points. Stop by and have a chat with us and we can present you with options. We know we can find the perfect piece of jewelry for her at a price you can afford. Keep in mind that a beautiful piece of quality jewelry will last decades or longer, and can be passed down through the generations. Most women would prefer a quality piece in their style over a lesser piece that will succumb to wear and tear over time.

Gift with Confidence…

Gary Chapman, author of the 5 love languages says this on the love language of gifts: “Don’t mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. If you speak this language, the perfect gift or gesture shows that you are known, you are cared for, and you are prized above whatever was sacrificed to bring the gift to you. A missed birthday, anniversary, or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous – so would the absence of everyday gestures. Gifts are visual representations of love and are treasured greatly.” While not everyone speaks the love language of gifts fluently, most everyone can appreciate the fact that you took the time to seek out something of worth for someone you love!

If you are still overwhelmed after reading this, then just get her a diamond!  (You can learn everything you need to know from our blog post on How to buy diamond earrings!) Stop by and see us and we can lead the way on choosing the perfect piece of jewelry for her!

Don’t you just fall in love with the beautiful leaves on the trees in autumn? We sure do! This autumn’s jewelry trends are following suit with those gorgeous golden leaves so much that we are proclaiming it “Fall for Gold” season. We know you will “fall in love” with it as much as we have! Read on to see just how you can pair beautiful gold jewelry with your fall wardrobe.

Casual Gold

 Pair your gold bangle bracelets, layered gold necklaces and rings with a cute white t-shirt and comfortable jeans. Ankle boots and a pumpkin spice latte complete the chic ensemble. An oversized tunic in hunter green or coral color over black leggings and boots is complemented perfectly with a long chunky gold necklace and rings. Even while running around town completing errands, you can look stylish and feel confident by jazzing up these comfortable outfits with a bit of gold.

Dressy Casual Gold

 Bring on the sweater weather! Comfy sweaters in earth tones and a nice fitted denim skirt or jeans and accessorize with gorgeous yellow gold. Choose a gemstone piece with a little pop of color- Citrine, Emerald, or Sapphire stones wrapped in gold. These gorgeous stones pull cues from the beautiful fall foliage around us.

Dressy Gold

From date night to holiday parties, your little black dress will look amazing paired with large gold earrings, layered necklaces, and gold rings. Diamonds complement any outfit but a diamond set in warm yellow gold against the black sets the tone for fun in the fall. Jewel-toned tops and dresses will look especially stunning and in style with your gold this fall.
