The Only 6 Jewellery Trends That Matter This Summer
When it comes to expressing yourself through fashion, jewellery is perhaps the most poignant piece in your style repertoire. The items we chose to adorn ourselves with can tell a story—for example, I love sharing the tale of the initial necklace I always receive compliments on, which my dad gave to me on his wedding day when I was the tender age of 6. Of course, not every article of jewellery I own has such sentimental value. Still, I can say that each piece was carefully chosen and acts as a reflection of myself and how I’d like the world to see me. That said, jewellery can be timely, too—a moment captured in time and an easy way to update your look to make it feel more current.
So when it came to deciphering summer 2022’s jewellery trends, I wanted to include pieces from each end of the spectrum. A mix of jewellery to be cherished—even passed on to future generations—and jewellery that feels fresh and fun and can lift your mood the moment you place it. So without further ado, scroll below to discover what I think are the noteworthy and memorable jewellery trends of 2022.
