Trend No. 9: Minimalist Jewels and Geometric Shapes
Confession: This jewelry-obsessed gal actually likes minimalist jewelry. Wait, wait—don’t stop reading! Hear me out. During our high-energy (Champagne-fueled) red carpet Twitter chats, many of us in the industry complain about stud earrings on the red carpet, myself included. As a matter of fact, I’d place a large bet on the fact that it’s going to happen again this Sunday, while we judge the Oscar fashions. But red carpet events are when high-profile people are supposed to dazzle us with looks that take our collective breath away. I want to see million-dollar mega jewels, chandelier earrings that sparkle for days, and Hulk-size statement rings. But in reality, minimalist jewelry can make a real statement, too. I’m just as much for tiny stud earrings as I am for statement necklaces. There’s something about petite pieces that make me feel—and I hope others agree—polished and pretty. And those little gems are prime for grouping—ring stacks, an assortment of earrings (if clients have more than one piercing in each ear), layered necklaces. Together, they pack a wallop. Thankfully, these small wonders are still going strong, and if they’re in geometric form, they’re even trendier. Here are some of the newest pieces to get into your stores if you’re looking to stock up on our ninth jewelry trend for 2014.
