Jewelry is getting bolder and bigger. Big focal pendants and beads are a focus for jewelry designs with simple chains or fibers. Earrings are getting intricate, complex and larger too, while bracelets seem to be keeping it simple and charming. Natural beads are popping up made of materials like bone, wood, shell, and of course glass. Crystals are a classic and everyone loves sparkle and shine.
Tools are expanding. Everything from hand tools to very specific tools for one task like jump rings or knotting. And get ready for more ways to organize all of your jewelry pieces and parts. You can’t use it if you can’t find it. Jewelry is made up of so many tiny components that organization is just a must-do!
Jewelry designs being shown are earthy, toned-down and bright, bold! It’s always an extreme in jewelry since there are so many influences. Match your colors to your mood and the clothes in your closet. There is a trend to not be matchy-matchy, but to throw in a color or two that just pops.
