5 Jewelry Trends for Spring

Spring has finally sprung! You know what that means - new season, new trends. Drawing inspiration from the runways, social media, street style and casual pieces seen every day, we have come up with the most notable fashion jewelry trends of the upcoming season.

Recently, we have noticed an uptick in popularity for chains/links and beads, florals, butterflies, gray spinel, turquoise, celestial themes and of course coins, coins, coins! With the insider’s advantage on our side, we felt it only right to share these trendy insights with all of you!

Flowers and Butterflies

Featured: 18K Two-tone Diamond Butterfly Stud Earrings ($3,060) | 18K Rose Gold Pave Diamond Butterfly Pendant ($4,360) | 18K Yellow Gold Princess Flower Pendant ($760) | 14K Rose Gold Diamond Flower Hoop Earrings ($1,335)

Florals for spring? Maybe not groundbreaking—but still pretty popular—especially when paired with delicate and pretty butterflies of spring. If you are a true romantic and a fan of the fragile femininity of jewelry, this trend is for you. There’s something whimsical and charming about adorning your favorite flowy dress with a butterfly pendant or a pair of dangling floral hoop earrings. Both flowers and butterflies have been historically associated with eternal love and romance, so this trend is a no brainer for welcoming the warmer months, groundbreaking or not.

Chains/Links and Beads

Featured: 14K Yellow Gold Multi-Link Necklace ($845) | 18K Yellow Gold and Sterling Silver Multi-Colored Sapphire Bead Pendant ($7,500) | 14K Yellow Gold Double Drop Earrings ($495) | 18K Yellow Gold Rosalind Link Ultra Chain Bracelet ($9,700)

This trend is already big and we expect it to only get bigger. Paying homage to fashion icons of the 80’s, chains and links make a retro statement that is easy to master. Wear a lone chunky chain that speaks for itself or layer some link chokers with a beaded necklace, this style is perfect for adapting to any personal preference.

Gray Spinel and Turquoise

Featured: 18K Yellow Gold Bezel Set Gray Spinel Stud Earrings ($1,250) | 18K Yellow Gold Round Turquoise Bezel Stud Earrings ($575)

Natural gray spinel, a rare and beautiful gem, has always been around, but its hardness and suitability for almost any type of jewelry has made it that much more appealing. Lately, gray spinel has been gaining the attention it deserves and we are here for it! These studs are bezel set in yellow gold but the great thing about gray spinel is that it can go with practically anything, white gold, rose gold, platinum, you name it. Also, because of its durability and hardness, spinel is perfect for daily wear, so take notice—this trend will definitely be making its way into everyday staple pieces.

As for turquoise, this happy color is making its way back to the spotlight as one of the most alluring trends for the spring and even summer. The picture above showcases turquoise with the cutest studs but you will be seeing this colorful jewelry used in all forms this upcoming season, such as bracelets, rings, necklaces, and even cufflinks.

Celestial

Featured: Sterling Silver Crescent Moon Pendant ($495) | 14K Two-tone Diamond Moon Necklace ($970) | Sterling Silver Moonstone Compass Charm ($395) | Sterling Silver White Sapphire Telescope Charm ($285) | 14K Yellow and White Gold Hematite Star and Moon Diamond Bracelet ($725)

Taking a step away from the traditional nautical jewelry of the warmer seasons like beachy seashells or rope jewelry, we have been favoring more of a lean towards the celestial themes of spring. This means a lot of moons, stars, and anything inspired by the night sky. Astronomy, associated with destiny, adventure, and the great unknown, has trend-setters captivated. There is something so subtle and beautiful about outer space that makes it perfect for jewelry. With this in mind, our out-of-this-world collection of celestial jewelry will leave you star-struck.

Featured: 18K Yellow Gold 2 1/2 Indian Dollar ($1,850) | 18K Yellow Gold Athenian Owl Coin Replica Diamond Earrings (SOLD) | 14K Yellow Gold Napoleon Charm Necklace ($520) | 18K Yellow Gold $20 Gold 1904 Coin Necklace ($3,850)

Engraved coins and charm pendants have been gaining traction as one of the most popular trends this season. This is in part due to the high prevalence of Instagram influencers flaunting their cute coin charm pendants on your social media feeds. Practically overnight, coins have taken over the scene as one of the most worn and versatile pieces of jewelry. Layer a smaller coin pendant to dress a few dainty chains or pair a large coin with a chunky chain - coin jewelry can be worn any which way. This trend is also great for everyday wear as it works with any outfit. Whether you’re running errands or going out on the town, coin pendants are a great go-to!
