6 Jewelry Trends To Master in 2020

It’s no secret (nor a surprise) that jewelry trends change from season to season. And as always, the runways have provided us with a peek inside the jewelry trends 2020.

What’s most evident is that the trends verge on the bolder, more experimental, and striking styles. Old, vintage pieces have been reimagined and reshaped for the new year, so it’s safe to say that 2020 bring us the old transformed into braver, bolder, and more extravagant.

Here are some of the most prominent jewelry trends spotted on various runways:

1. Stacking and Layering

We’ve seen stacking jewelry, most prominently stackable wedding rings, are growing in popularity, slowly but surely. The trend is quickly spreading to other pieces of jewelry. As seen on the runways of Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Chloé, and others, stacking has crossed over from dainty to more bold looks.

You can stack, layer mix, and match multiple pieces of jewelry with abandon – from necklaces to rings, bracelets, and even toe rings.

2. Hoop Earrings, Reimagined

A staple of style for decades, hoop earrings are coming back full force in 2020. They are, however, no longer simple. Hoop earrings are reimagined in bolder, more experimental looks, that’ll make anyone wearing them a style icon.

Eliminating the bottom part of the hoop (as seen on the Valentino runway), mobile-inspired pieces (brought on by Givenchy), or placing a pearl in its center (the Rodarte runway) – hoops are coming back, brighter than ever.

3. Updated Chokers

Since their comeback in recent seasons, chokers have been unstoppable – and 2020 is no different! Chokers will continue their reign, but with a new, more experimental look.

Dior, Marni, and  Hermès all updated the choker to a rugged, striking chain look, while Marc Jacobs presented an extra large choker. Chokers have not gone without a more elegant makeover – Yuna Yang updated them with pearls, while Brandon Maxwell dressed them up in gold.

4. Statement Earrings

Another daring look coming in 2020 is that of a statement earring or a pair of statement earrings. These go beyond just bold – from beaded styles to free-from metal, designers are choosing either only one or a pair of earrings as a perfect way to frame the face.

Oscar de la Renta presented only one woven earring, whose tassel reaches below the collarbone, as a striking way to style your outfit, while other designers (such as Givenchy, Gucci, and Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood) chose to elongate and enlarge earrings to the point where they can easily rival necklaces.

5. Bold, Built-In Jewelry

Possibly the most fearless new jewelry trend of 2020 is the built-in jewelry. Striking pieces are incorporated into clothing, either as decorative embellishments or as a part of the clothing’s structure.

6. The Reign of Headpieces

Tiaras, coronets, and crowns are no longer reserved for only the most elegant events. A multitude of headpieces strolled down the runways and made their place in 2020 jewelry trends.

A piece that accentuates your hairstyle, face shape, and elevates your style to that of royalty, no matter what kind of outfit you have on, is a piece of jewelry perfectly poised on the top of your head.

Simone Rocha presented a bejeweled headpiece inspired by portraits from the 16th century Tang dynasty, Gucci opted for a more dramatic, elven tiara-like piece, while the Miu Miu runway chose a more delicate headpiece – a glittering string of jewels that ties in a bow on the crown of the head. Another delicate look was presented by Saint Laurent – a gentle, though striking, band that wraps around the head.
