Jewellery Trends For 2022

Let’s face it, we all need a bit of sparkle to brighten our world at the minute! And whilst bold glam is the key look this spring, there’s a 2022 jewellery craze to suit every style.

So, whether you’re into a minimalist look, jewellery-wise, or you like to go all out with statement designer jewellery, keep scrolling to see our top five jewellery trends for 2022.

Trend 1: Beaded jewellery and bright colours

More than ever, we’re leaning towards jewellery that sparks some much-needed joy! Rainbow jewellery was a huge trend of 2021, and it looks set to only get bigger and brighter this year!

We love this multi-coloured rainbow bracelet from Coeur De Lion. The bold pops of colour are paired with sparkling crystals that really catch the light. And with beaded jewellery being popular on many runways this season, you’ll be ticking off two jewellery trends in one.

 

Trend 2: Express yourself with a personalised touch

It’s all about expressing yourself with feel-good jewelry this spring. From talismans for protection in uncertain times to bracelets featuring mood-lifting positive mantras and eye-catching sculptural rings, jewelry is more of an emotional purchase than ever before.

Styles and traditions of the last decade are on the way out and are being replaced with one core value. This is that your jewellery should make you happy – and we definitely agree! Personal, playful jewellery, featuring combinations of birthstones, initials and zodiac signs are all the rage right now.

With personalised jewellery adorning the necks of everyone from Kate Middleton to TOWIE’s Georgia Kousoulou, this initial necklace from Thomas Sabo is flying off the shelves right now.

Trend 3: Sustainable jewellery

We are all becoming much more conscious of the environment and the way our purchases can affect the world around us. From fair-mined gold to ethically sourced gems, sustainable jewellery is the way forward.

People are looking to buy better, making conscious decisions about their jewellery and investing in long-lasting designs made from high-quality materials.

Trend 4: Buying jewellery online

Over lockdown, online jewellery purchases soared, and even now that shops have reopened and customers can view pieces in real life, the trend for purchasing jewellery online appears to be here to stay.

This is even the case for high-ticket items, which in the past, customers would have preferred to try on before handing over their credit card.

Trend 5: Mixed metal jewellery

Mixed metal jewellery was originally made fashionable by Diana, Princess of Wales, amongst others. Comprising three interlinking bands, her famous Cartier Trinity ring comprised one 18ct white-gold, one 18ct yellow-gold and one 18ct rose-gold band. Diana often wore this together with her family’s signet ring, inspiring a range of mixed metal jewellery gracing the catwalks of the 80s.

This trend is now making a long-overdue comeback. There are no rules when it comes to mixing up your metals. Jewellery designers are definitely going for the ‘more is more approach, often combining as many different metals – and styles – as possible, for a look that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

However, just because the designers are feeling bold, doesn’t mean you have to! You can still embrace the trend for mixed metals with a more subtle effect, such as a single two-tone piece. This Swarovski Infinity Heart necklace features two interlocking hearts in a two-colour finish that’s bang on trend for this season.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Statement jewellery is the way to go for 2022

The takeaway here is that bold, statement jewellery is the key look of spring 2022. With influences from the 70s and 80s, jewellery designers are taking on board the fact that people are more than ready to dress up and have fun again!

If you’re on the lookout for some brighter, bolder bling, head over to OD’s Jewellers for everything from chunky chains and pendants to eye-catching sculptural rings that are right on the money for this season.
