15 Fashion Jewelry Pieces to Add to Your Collection in 2020
While updating your style choices each season is expected, when was the last time you gave your jewelry box a revamp? There’s no shortage of fashion jewelry to choose from in 2020, whether you prefer a statement or like to keep it minimal. And thanks to an influx of direct-to-consumer brands, there’s no need to shell out thousands for a high-quality piece you’ll wear forever, either.
On the Spring 2020 runways, chains had a major moment. Take that fashion jewelry trend to the streets by going big with a chunky silver ID bracelet, or dial it back via a more delicate chain necklace. A link-inspired design looks just as good dangling from your earlobes, and when it comes to earrings, go beyond the usual gold hoop or diamond stud. Instead, look for fashion jewelry pieces with architectural shapes, natural stones, and novelty motifs.
Speaking of novelty, there’s no better place to display a graphic embellishment than a signet, and jewelry designer Wilhelmina Garcia has you covered with a four-leaf clover-emblazoned ring. However, if kitsch isn’t really your speed, a more elegant version with a stone inlay or lion engraving works just as well.
Here, 15 pieces of fashion jewelry to wear in 2020 and beyond.
This ring by French jewelry designer Pascale Monvoisin is the perfect statement piece. Rose gold and black Bakelite add a bit of edge, while a diamond design keeps things elegant.
