The Winter Jewelry Trends of 2021-2022 to Add Some Sparkle With
The runways are telling us to go big.
The power held by a fierce necklace or an elegant dangle earring became more apparent as we all got ourselves dressed for our Zoom calls. For the 2022 runways, designers also harnessed the power of jewelry. Bold and unapologetic, shiny baubles took the "more is more" approach. Whether you're layering on your jewelry or letting a statement piece shine all on its own, we've nailed down five of the top jewelry trends to start shopping for winter.
Pearls of Wisdom
When it comes to the products Marie Claire recommends, we take your faith in us seriously.
Dainty but thought-provoking, pearl-adorned jewelry is even more fitting in the winter months. Opt for a traditional rounded pearl or an oblong baroque shape to complement winter party ensembles.
Garden Variety
Don't let the winter doldrums get to you. Lighten up heavy cold weather-wear with floral-inspired jewelry that's sure to lighten the mood.
De (pendant) Necklaces
Minimalists can rejoice in another season of pared-back pendant necklaces. Whether you're drawn to a vintage-inspired piece or a sleek metal bauble, there's a pendant out there with your name on it. Already own several? Take a cue from the runways and layer differing lengths together.
Ring in 2022
Shaking hands is still a little passé. Instead, introduce yourself with an anything-but-subtle statement ring that will be hard to forget.
Chain Reaction
You've probably invested in a few chain pieces in past seasons, and now is your chance to not only show them off, but invest in a few more. From logos to locket charms, chain jewelry is built to last for the winter season and beyond.
