2022 Jewelry Trends 

This year’s top jewelry trends are bright, bold, and playful. The new year has ushered in a desire for stronger, more joyful pieces– which is great news for everyone who likes to have fun with fashion. Now’s the time to dive into your jewelry collection and pull out those eye-catching pieces you don’t get to wear enough. It’s also a great time to pick up exciting new designs since there’s a wealth of striking fine jewelry to choose from in 2022. Whether you want to go vibrant, embrace romance, or enjoy Y2K-era nostalgia, you’ll find something you love in the top jewelry trends of 2022. 

Colorful Jewelry 

The biggest fashion trend of the year is bold, vibrant color. All over runways and social media, we’ve seen a maximalist approach toward color for both clothes and jewelry. This means that colorful gemstone jewelry is having quite a moment in 2022. 

Lavish Pearls 

Layer upon pearls and embrace the romance of the lavish pearl jewelry trend. This jewelry trend is a part of a broader fashion trend: Regencycore. Many tie this vintage-inspired style to the massively successful series Bridgerton, which features plenty of decadent Regency-era fashion. Sport this trend by layering up on classic pearl pieces, like pearl studs and pearl necklaces, alongside this year’s unique pearl designs. 

Silver Tones 

Silver toned jewelry started trending last year and it has only grown more popular in 2022. While there are still plenty of yellow gold and rose gold pieces to choose from, sterling silver and white gold jewelry are the top precious metals of the year. 

Dangly Earrings 

Dangly earrings, always a party staple, are trending for both casual and party looks in 2022. Tassel earrings and drop earrings are among the most popular baubles of the year, but every type of dangly statement earring is in fashion at the moment.

Personalized Jewelry 

Add more personality to your outfits with trending custom jewelry, like a monogram, initial, or nameplate jewelry. Personalized pendant necklaces are one of our favorite styles in the custom jewelry category since they can add so much personality to a layered necklace look.

Hoop Earrings 

Hoop earrings are always in style, but they’ve been particularly popular these last few years. If you’ve been enjoying the hoop craze, you’re in luck. Hoop earrings are as popular as ever in 2022. This year, we’re seeing a bit more variety in the hoop category. Enamel hoops, textured huggie hoops, and fancy-shaped diamond hoops are some of the many unique hoop earrings trending in the new year. 

Y2K Jewelry

One of the biggest jewelry trends on 2022 runways has been Y2K influenced pieces. We’ve seen a resurgence of body chains, bangles are worn as armlets, logo brooches, whimsical hair clips, and clear beaded jewelry. There’s also been a big rise in Y2K motifs, like butterflies, flowers, and yin-yang symbols. 

Chunky Chain Necklaces 

Chain link necklaces are another 2021 trend that’s here to stay. As with last year, the chunkier the chain, the better. Wear one chain for a minimalist look or layer up for maximum effect.

Fancy Shaped Diamonds

Fancy-shaped diamonds are huge for 2022. This category includes every diamond shape other than round, offering a bevy of dazzling diamond shapes for you to choose from for fashion or bridal jewelry. Notably, fancy-shaped diamonds are extremely popular for engagement rings and wedding bands this year, as more couples are yearning for distinctive styles with an heirloom quality. 

Bold Chokers 

This season’s chokers are bold, sparkly, and here to make an impact. Chunky gold chain chokers are a carryover trend from last year and they’re joined by many other striking styles, like collar necklaces and torques. Whether worn alone or as an anchor piece when layering necklaces, a bold choker is always a good look. 

Cocktail Rings 

Cocktail rings are all about making a statement and expressing your personal style, so they fit right in with the year’s trend toward bold, personalized looks. The beauty of cocktail rings is that they’re meant to be unique statement pieces. So, while they’re trending, they always remain inherently special to you.
