New takes on old favorites was the theme running through many of the 2020 spring jewelry shows. After a dull winter, spring jewelry designs are always a breath of fresh air, injecting color and sparkle indicative of a new year, a new season, and – this year – a new decade. The first catwalks of 2020 didn’t disappoint. Here are five trends that made an appearance at fashion weeks all over the world.

5 Top Spring Jewelry Trends of 2020

1. Hoops

Hoops are always in fashion, but this spring, expect them to be bigger, more creative, and more ornate than ever before. Gold hoops were the star of the show, but many designers also explored using various materials within one jewelry piece. Several even turned their hoops into works of art, using techniques such as paint dipping and weaving. 

2. Oversized Chains

Continuing the bigger-is-better theme, chains also received the oversized treatment. Chunky bracelets and necklaces layered over delicate jewelry or contrasting materials like beads are going to be a key trend this spring. Chains toughen up feminine floral dresses and shirts and make business-wear feel a little less formal for after-work drinks.

3. Pearls

Pearls are a classic jewelry staple, but their popularity goes up and down. This season, it’s resoundingly up. Designers incorporated pearl, real and faux, in every form – necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, and even foot jewelry. It’s the stone that suits every occasion, from job interviews to Sunday brunch, and it’s eye-catching enough to be the hero accessory of your outfit. 

4. Solo Earrings

One of the quirkier trends on the catwalks was the single earring. This trend isn’t new; several designers have used it over the years. But this year, the earrings themselves were more understated, making it a more wearable look. Make this trend work for you by finding a style and size you feel comfortable wearing, or maybe try out the trend by wearing just one of an existing pair you already own until you feel ready to treat yourself?

5. Colors

Jewelry and accessories are the perfect way to ease back into color following a drab winter. Pretty gemstones bring spring hues to life. With no obvious signature colors this season, mix and match colors and metals to create jewelry looks that complement any outfit.
