This article explores the shift in jewelry trends from subtlety to bold, oversized pieces. Moving beyond mere opulence, the focus is on substantial, vintage-inspired designs that combine mass with elegance. As seen on recent runways, this trend embraces a statement-making aesthetic rooted in sophistication rather than excess.
If fashion is an eternal cycle, the evolution of trends also touches the domain of jewelry. The latest phenomenon? Excess. But be careful, far from being bling bling, it’s about opting for ultra-massive jewelry pieces that are still very chic and have a vintage DNA.
Proof is, it’s actress Blake Lively, who recently sported massive jewelry signed by Tiffany and Co. at the latest Super Bowl. The program for her highly contrasted look? A red Adidas tracksuit set, worn with a white crop top and the whole ensemble enhanced by no less than 18 pieces stamped by the American jewelry house.
We find notably a graduated link necklace in 18-carat gold, paired with a diamond-paved necklace, but also Elsa Peretti serpent earrings which she mixes with a pair of platinum Solitaire earrings. On the bracelet side, one motto: more is more. On her wrists, we distinguish numerous pieces, like imposing cuffs mixed with finer pieces.
