One of the current fashion jewelry trends that are popular in 2015 is the statement piece. A well-chosen statement piece can stunningly accentuate a look by drawing all attention to it, making a bold fashion statement.
This trend has been popularized by designers like Givenchy, Dolce & Gabanna, and Alexander McQueen who have incorporated large and eye catching pieces into their collections. For example, Givenchy’s Gypsy 4-layer necklace is comprised of 14K gold plated sterling silver with three layers of various colored stones such as yellow citrine and green peridot designed to cascade elegantly down your neckline.
Another popular trend in 2015 is delicate jewelry. Delicate jewelry is understated yet sparkles stylishly with small gems that add an intriguing accent to any outfit without overpowering it.
Common materials for this type of jewelry are 18K gold, diamonds and rose quartz which can be crafted into beautiful pieces without having too many details or being overwhelmingly large and bulky. Popular designer styles like David Yurman’s classic Stax bracelets or the Embrace earrings from Kate Spade demonstrate how simple designs can effectively evoke a subtle elegance.
Layered jewelry is also one of the mainstays for 2015 in terms of current fashion jewelry trends. Focusing on giving your look depth and texture, create unique contrasts between long layered necklaces or stacked chokers consisting of different styled chains for a contemporary ensemble that truly stands out from the crowd.
Layering jewelry also allows customers to express their personal style preferences in ways not possible through single pieces alone. Pieces from designers such as Jennifer Meyer Jewelry or Martine Ali offer several variations this trend including multiple necklaces worn together while still remaining elegant and balanced that you’ll be sure to love.
Social Media & Shopping Outlets
Fashion jewelry trends in 2015 have taken on a rather unique direction this year. While the bright and vibrant colors of last year had us all swooning and buying up items to accessorize with, this year there seems to be a bit more of a focus on those materials traditionally used for jewelry making. Instead of the gemstones and sequins that were so popular in 2014, this year’s trends revolve around metals & pearls.
This change has spawned several new styles, comprised mostly of delicate pieces meant to hint at a certain femininity instead of the more dramatic styles seen last season. Whether it be larger pièces or smaller ones, there is an emphasis on intricacy and craftsmanship – items made with hours of hard labor soon forgotten in their preservation as objets d’art.
This trend has been most evident among rings where handcrafted silver pieces adorned with pearls can often be seen flooding through Instagram feeds. Shopping websites such as Etsy or even AliExpress feature craftsmen who specialize in creating these one-of-a-kind pieces – perfect for those who seek something beyond what can be found in commercial stores.
Dainty, feminine necklaces have also gained popularity over the past few months, usually featuring sober designs, styled around either Swarovsky crystals paired with fresh water pearls or simple interlocking chains designed out of gold and silver (with some exceptions). Baroque styled pendants set with semi-precious stones are also quite popular lately; something many attribute to both celebrities as well as vintage influences now finding themselves more present than ever before in youth culture.
Finally, earrings seem to follow two distinct paths: hoops, which come mainly in three sizes (the smallest being the most sought after) currently trending heavily among teens & younger women and large droplet shaped earrings straight out of 90’s fashion stylings ranging from overly edgy asymmetrical shapes to white gold drop earrings complete with diamond embellishments – epitomizing sophistication and elegance.
Inspiration
The fashion jewelry trends for 2015 are bold and trendy. Many of today’s trends take inspiration from current cultural movements, such as the resurgence of all things 90’s led by websites like Complex and the popularity of artisanship via Etsy and other online stores, giving the public a plethora of choices to mix, match and personalize their own jewelry pieces.
For example, chokers featuring materials like velvet ribbons spiked with colorful stones have become popular among modern fashionistas as they add dynamic flair reminiscent of handmade items crafted decades ago. Those looking to express themselves in a more minimalistic way can opt for sleek metal pendants inset with delicate stones in multiple colors. These provide an elegant touch while keeping with contemporary trends.
Fashion jewelry is not just about necklaces anymore; it now includes anklets, earrings including small hoops and long statement pieces, bracelets made of interlocking chains and even cocktail rings getting attention as well. All these pieces combined together can create individualized looks that showcase unique personalities. With so many varying designs available, there is a wide array of options available to create an outfit perfectly suited for any occasion or mood.
When crafting your own outfit around these fashion jewelry trends from 2015, have fun layering and mixing materials. Yellow gold plated necklaces work well when paired with chunky stone-embellished anklets or bangles for added definition – feel free to bring out your inner artisan.
Long hoop earrings make a fantastic attention-grabbing accessory when outfits need an extra tweak; you can also go modern tribal by bringing out animalistic elements such as feathers or simulated ivory teeth on trinkets. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different types of elements used in combination – enjoy letting loose and expressing yourself through your jewelry choices.
DIY Projects
DIY projects are becoming increasingly popular as more people search for ways to express themselves creatively. Crafting jewelry is a great way to keep up with jewelry trends while being able to create pieces that are truly unique. As fashion changes and evolves, so does the look of the latest jewelry trends. This year there is an abundance of exciting new designs emerging, giving everyone an opportunity to experiment with their personal style.
The use of vintage elements has always been popular but 2015 will be taking it one step further by combining vintage ideas from different eras. For example, classic Edwardian glass beaded necklaces remain fashionable whilst also mixing in 1960s-style clip earrings or layering multiple pieces from different eras together.
Using chains and charms are also huge this season particularly when creating a 90s-chic vibe reminiscent of grunge style. Although stud earrings have been around for ages, they will continue to make a statement diluted with softer colours rhinestones, pearls and metallic accents in order to give it a modern touch.
In terms of color palettes, earthy tones such as pastel yellow and green still have an ongoing presence in the jewelery industry while maroon and mustard yellow remain very attractive this season. Retro glamour will never go out of style thanks to its ability to transform basic outfits into something special – think classic faux pearl necklaces or oversized rings oozing old Hollywood charm.
Recently, soft blue hues are becoming increasingly more sought after and 2016 will definitely bring more oceanic shades that are truly amazing in design concepts making them great candidates for DIY projects.
Trends Abroad
As the global connective power of social media increases, the demand for foreign trends has dramatically increased. For fashion jewelry trends, we have seen an increase in demand for designs that are inspired by Middle Eastern culture as well as Far Eastern and Asian culture.
This can range from pieces inspired by the intricate work of historic Middle Eastern jewelry to modern pieces that blend these traditional silhouettes with contemporary aesthetics. Colorful gemstones like sapphires, emeralds, and rubies are wildly popular and retailers are stocking their shelves with a wide range of brightly colored gemstone jewelry for this reason.
The trend in Europe is leaning heavily toward vintage-inspired designs and geometric shapes. Geometric lines and patterns inspired by Art Deco elements make up much of what can be found within European stores at the moment. In addition to vintage-inspired looks, another trend originating from Europe is raw stone setting; where one or more stones are set with only minimal metal elements to separate them.
These looks offer an airy, free-form alternative to traditional 3d shaped settings like prongs and ingots. Asymmetrical jewelry, particularly earrings with mismatched stones is also a very popular look among those looking to show off their individual style and sense of fashion.
In North America there is tremendous enthusiasm for childhood nostalgia – anything related to Disney characters or classic cartoons often sell out quickly due to the level of nostalgia evoked amongst consumers in this region. Additionally, nautical themed jewelry – charms such as anchors or sailor knots – have become fashionable accessories among young adults looking to break away from mainstream trends but still maintain a sense of familiarity.
Bold statement pieces made with unexpected combinations of colorful rhinestones, faux diamonds, hand painted enamels etc., create stunning eye-catching pieces that still remain affordable despite their bold visual appeal. This makes them all the more attractive when looking for accessory options within this market segment.
Celebrities
Fashion jewelry trends for 2015 are changing fast, and as soon as an item hits the red carpet, it’s all the buzz. From statement necklaces, to understated earrings, bold bangles to delicate anklets – celebrities often provide us with great ideas on how to spruce up an outfit with stylish accessories.
One of the most notable and trendiest pieces that has been spotted lately is the shoulder-grazing lariat: a long necklace with no clasp, often featuring intricate details and eye-catching accents. Some prominant celebs seen wearing this style of necklace count Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Zoe Saldana, Zoey Deutch, Emily Ratajkowski and Lady Gaga just to name a few. This particular style can easily update any look by adding a modern twist to classic styling – trendy yet still timeless.
Another hot trend this 2015 season is layering and stacking jewelry of different lengths and sizes together. Layering thin gold chains with more chunky and rugged styles instantly elevates an everyday look for any occasion.
A bold look that’s being seen recently is mixing up different metals (such as sterling silver layered over gold) for much more contrast than simply wearing plain gold or silver toned items alone. Celebrities like Taylor Swift tug at our heartstrings not only with her catchy lyrics but also her fashion inspiration such as layering chokers over her traditional button-down blouses that we can all relate to having in our closets.
Jewelry trends continuously change with each season but what remains steady is how much impact they have on completing a look. With so many inspiring looks from celebrities this 2015 season there is definitely something out there for everyone.
