For Spring, the collective message from designers with regard to jewelry is go big, or go home. We're talking larger-than-life necklaces (and friendly FYI: chunky chain-links aren't going anywhere!), oversize hoops, and statement-making earrings with an asymmetrical twist. What's more, sculptural shapes are set to be your new go-to "statement" piece, from collar necklaces to molded earrings. And for classic tastes, pearls are continuing into Spring but not exclusively in modern form: Fall's baroque pearls and mismatched earrings sets are here to stay, but classic strands return both as single strings and layered styles.
From earrings to necklaces and an unexpectedly fresh category — shoe jewelry! — ahead, witness the six biggest jewelry trends from the Spring 2020 runways.
From chunky chains to sculptural shapes, necklaces are going big and bold for Spring 2020. A stylish statement for day and night, there's a look for everyone whether you're into Brandon Maxwell's glittering silver links, Zimmermann's enamel and gold chokers, or 3.1 Phillip Lim's abstract collars. For an easy-to-wear style hack, try pairing your favorite iteration with a simple t-shirt and jeans.
Artful earrings have been a big trend in jewelry, and for Spring, sleeker takes are having a major moment. Whether you're into a geometric drop á la Tibi, metal-worked chandeliers like 3.1 Phillip Lim's assortment, or molded hoops like those that walked the Oscar de la Renta runway, this trend is perfectly polished with workwear or a fresh alternative to rhinestones for evening.
Hoop earrings are a staple in every woman's jewelry box, and the Spring 2020 take is big and bold. This doesn't necessarily mean oversize, however; while Proenza Schouler showed supersize loops, Carolina Herrera gave us a tubular option for every day and 3.1 Phillip Lim revealed a small yet substantial hoop nestled just under the lobes.
There's nothing like pearls to feel your most classic and feminine, and for Spring, designers are delivering on both modern takes and traditional styles. Baroque pearls, mismatched earrings, and sculptural designs abound, but this season also marks the return of classic pearl necklaces both in the form of single strings and layered strands.
Asymmetrical earrings are another artful statement to come out of the Spring 2020 collections, and again, with options for every taste. From mobile silhouettes at Ulla Johnson to single drops at Oscar de la Renta, this jewelry trend is playful and fresh with everything from basics to evening wear.
On the heels of Bottega Veneta's buzzy mesh sandal with ankle chains, designers from Oscar de la Renta to Prabal Gurung and Zimmermann are serving up fresh versions of the "shoe jewelry" look, and for every style. Think sexy sandals, work-appropriate pumps, and pretty flats. While adorned shoes are a given for parties and events, don't be afraid to rock them for the day with a pair of jeans!
