Looking for a few fresh looks to kick off the new year? Jewelry is a great way to refresh an outfit without taking up room in your closet. This year is your opportunity to take stylistic risks with big statement pieces and personalized touches. Ethically sourced materials are bigger than ever, and 2023 is all about jewelry that speaks to the wearer's true inner-self.
In this article: Cool Steel and Beyond Statement Bib Necklace, Lavari Jewelers Wide Open Cuff and Ross-Simons Italian Cultured Pearl Seashell Pendant.
This year, there's a rise in statement pieces that really catch the eye, helping you stand out in a crowd. From long drop earrings to chunky chains and pendants, 2023 is the year for you to go big and bold with jewelry. Signet rings and the cocktail ring are back in style, as are large cuff bracelets and dynamic ear cuffs.
Florals and pearls are also big this year, including birth flower jewelry and oceanic accessories. You'll also see more mixing and matching of tones and textures for maximum effect.
Custom designs are seeing a rise, but custom doesn't mean you have to commission something fancy from scratch. A personalization can be as basic as birthstone accents or as far as personal engravings or initials, which have been increasing in popularity over the last few years. This is also where you'll see those florals fitting in with birth flower personalization. You can go with ready-made pieces that speak to your identity or have something one-of-a-kind made just for you.
Intention with jewelry is trending; pieces with historical, mystic or contemporary symbolism are rising fast. You'll see more rings, necklaces and earrings that draw inspiration from mythology and astrology. This trend leans towards the "modern heirloom" styles that draw inspiration from the past with fun, contemporary twists.
You will see a lot of gemstone jewelry this year, and with that, lab-grown gemstones are everywhere. Lab-grown stones aren't fake, but rather, they are made using heat and pressure in a lab instead of in the earth. They are sustainable and often come in at a more affordable price than mined jewels, making them a more popular choice in the engagement ring market.
