From sustainability to statement chokers, these are the top jewellery trends of the moment

A new season means fresh jewellery trends to get excited about. Much like the rest of fashion, everything to do with the Noughties is back with a vengeance – and maximalism is also making its mark, with blinged-up chokers and slinky body chains.

But there’s also space for more classic looks – such as delicate pearls worn in different ways, or the industry’s increased focus on sustainability.

If you’re looking to update your jewellery box as we move into spring, take a look at the hottest new trends…

While pearls once had a somewhat stuffy reputation, it’s now the trend that won’t seem to go away. Victoria Mraca, senior designer at Astrid & Miyu (astridandmiyu.com), says: “Pearls are fast becoming a key staple in every jewellery lover’s collection. The natural iridescence, high lustre finish and organic forms are beautifully unique.”

As we consider how to be kinder to the Earth in all areas of our lives, it’s no surprise sustainability is becoming a big trend in jewellery too – and one we hope is here to stay.

Holly Graham is the founder of Francesca Dot Jewellery (francescadot.com), a brand that uses recycled materials in its pieces. “Sometimes the day-to-day things like recycling or using your own coffee cup may seem easier to control, but you also have control over what you buy and consume,” she explains.

River Island Silver Body Jewellery, £25

With her breakout role in Euphoria and head-turning red carpet looks, few celebrities are as influential in the style stakes right now as Zendaya. She’s even influencing jewellery trends – thanks to a particularly prominent ad spot in February’s Super Bowl.

This trend isn’t a time to go for slim chains or barely-there earrings: it’s all about maximalism. Instead, take a leaf out of Tom Ford’s book and opt for stand-out, sparkly chokers – the bigger the statement, the better.
