What are the jewellery trends in 2021?
For bracelets and jewellery this means: crazy designs reminiscent of sweets are trendy, as are the legendary smileys, a mix of materials ranging from metals to precious stones and pearls, or even plastic costume jewellery in dazzling colours - nothing is out of bounds. The main things is to be happy and carefree. Even Hama beads, which many people will be familiar with from their childhood craft activities, are celebrating a comeback in the form of necklaces or bracelets, which you can also easily create yourself.
Pearls, which just a few years ago were seen as somewhat old-fashioned, are likewise experiencing a revival. Not in the form of classic pearl necklaces, but rather as an accent feature in gold bracelets.
Generally speaking, the following rule of thumb applies for jewellery in 2021: It should be more opulent - alongside delicate chains and bracelets, thicker or even chunky chains, rings and bangles are bang on trend. Of particular note in this regard are "Chunky Chains", necklaces or bracelets with heavy chain links, which can even be found used individually in ring designs. The parallels with jewellery that was popular in the 90s hip-hop scene are undeniable.
In order to bring a little more colour into play, coloured diamonds are an increasingly popular choice. In particular, diamonds in a yellow colour are still affordable, and this year should ideally be paired with precious metal in the same colour, as seen in this yellow gold bracelet with yellow diamonds, for example.
What is no longer popular in 2021?
Delicate rings also have it rather tough this summer, as the Chunky trend is really dominating. Big is beautiful, at least on your fingers, delicate jewellery is no longer the hype.
However, some things never change: a classic, elegant piece of jewellery such as a solitaire engagement ring, a golden diamond bracelet or diamond stud earrings never go out of fashion. In particular, on very formal and official occasions such as weddings, anniversaries or business events such as trade fairs, conferences, and presentations, a little understatement is never a bad thing.
