These 8 Jewelry Trends Are Out, According to Designers - Yahoo Lifestyle

Posted: 03 Apr 2020 12:00 AM PDT

In order to welcome something new into your closet, you often have to say goodbye to something else. This is an easy sentiment to remember when it comes to clothing, but as far as jewelry is concerned, we often turn a blind eye. Since your jewelry (no matter how you store it) takes up significantly less space than a coat or a pair of jeans, the buildup of excess and outdated pieces can easily go unnoticed. Spring-cleaning involves all areas of your wardrobe, including jewelry—fine, costume, and everything in between. 

Here to help us decide what to clean out and what to keep from our jewelry drawers this season are a handful of the industry's most well-respected jewelry designers. Their quotes are strictly from an industry standpoint—what they have been seeing in the market and what their customers have been spending on. That being said, we are also huge proponents of relying on yourself to decide what is worth keeping in your closet and what isn't. Our hope for this story is to simply give you an outsider's opinion, which you can take or leave. Style is individual and very personal, so if you wear all of the jewelry trends they said are "out," more power to you. 

Ahead, find out what they have to say about the outdated jewelry trends, in addition to the spring jewelry trends to consider replacing them with. From turquoise to colored gemstone baguettes, we have a feeling you'll be head over heels in love with all the jewelry trends ahead. 

Susan Alexandra

Out: Bib Necklaces
"Heavy bib necklaces feel a bit stifling and restrictive."

In: Statement Hoops
"Fab hoops in all shapes and colors (DUH) and lots of special, personal layered necklaces. I let mine co-mingle and entangle for the ultimate insouciant effect." 

Susan Alexandra Merry Hoops ($85)

Simon Miller Echo Hoops ($80)

Eliou Kavala Rainbow Earrings ($185)

Justine Lançon, creative director of Mejuri

Out: Fabric Chokers
"We're trading in the '90s for the '70s: Think masculine-inspired signets, medallions, and hoops."

In: Personalization
"We're all about celebrating our milestones—big or small! With personalized jewelry, whether it's an engraving or a specific, meaningful stone, your jewelry can signify more than just a trend."

Mejuri Curb ID Bracelet ($240)

Kendra Scott Elisa Birthstone Pendant Necklace ($50)

Mejuri Mini Signet Ring ($170)

Colette Steckel, founder and designer of Colette Jewelry 

Out: Blackened Metals
"I think we're going to see a bit of a pause in the use of blackened metals. While I love (and will continue) using rhodium to add a bit of edge, I'm seeing a movement toward brighter hues."

In: Turquoise
"I think one trend that is definitely 'in' this spring/summer is turquoise. While the stone has always been popular in fine jewelry, I'm seeing it interpreted in so many creative ways this season. Turquoise lights you up from within, and I love pairing it with emeralds and diamonds." 

Rachel Comey Cirque Earrings ($225)

Colette Star Signet Turquoise Ring ($1620)

Oscar De La Renta Short Octagon Earrings ($290)

Octavia Zamagias, founder and designer of Octavia Elizabeth Jewelry

Out: Huggies
"I get it—every woman loves a huggie hoop, but honestly I'm over it. Sure it's the kind of thing you can put in and forget about, but especially for the ladies with multiple ear piercings, I am really encouraging my shoppers to wear more of a statement—at the very least in their first hole."

In: Substantial Earrings
"Substantial earrings are in. Huggies are out. Jazz up that white tee and jeans with a gorgeous and rich pair of earrings like our Whimsy. The bonus on this pair of earrings is that you can swap in and out the attachment and basically get two pairs of earrings for one. A gold hoop and a statement earring."

Octavia Elizabeth Gabby 18K Gold Diamond Earrings ($3500)

Theia Jewelry Piper Drop Earrings ($64)

Lele Sadoughi Caterpillar Earrings ($150)

Ashley Zhang

Out: Overly Simple Pieces
"One trend that is out is jewelry that is too delicate or simple; customers are getting bored of seeing the same jewelry designs everywhere."

In: Unique Designs on Everyday Pieces
"We are seeing a trend in jewelry that has unique design ideas, like special-cut diamonds or extra-decorative elements like engraving or milgrain. Jewelry like this can still be simple but not boring, and you won't run into another girl on the subway wearing the same thing as you!"

Ashley Zhang Single Fringe Necklace ($1475)

Cartier Clash de Cartier Ring Diamonds ($8500)

Gucci Le Marché des Merveilles Earrings ($6950)

Leehe Segal, founder of Bleecker & Prince

Out: Ear-Crawlers
"I would say everyone is over the ear-crawlers."

In: Colorful Hoops
"Earrings are defiantly having a moment, and colorful funky hoops are everyone's go-to summer earrings!"

Loren Stewart 14k Mini Stone Hoop Earrings ($294)

Bleeker and Prince Carnelian Facet Hoops ($1350)

Alison Lou Medium Jelly Hoop Earrings ($145)

Roxanne Assoulin

Out: Oversize Jewelry
"Any heavy oversize jewelry that feels contrived."

In: Mix & Match Pieces
"Smaller, user-friendly pieces that you can mix and match, stack and share, and make your own."

Roxanne Assoulin Classic Sport Set of Three Enamel and Gold-Tone Bracelets ($225)

Soko Mixed Material Stacked Rings ($98)

Aurelie Bidermann Positano Bracelet ($205)

Zoë Chicco

Out: '90s Chokers
"While I'm embracing so many of the trends from the '90's these days (think slip dresses, fanny packs, and scrunchies), I'm definitely over the fabric and leather chokers—I think that moment has passed… again."

In: Chains & Charms
"Instead, layer up with chains and charms! Charms are the perfect way to express yourself and tend to hold a lot of personal significance. You can tell your own story based on the symbols, gemstones, initials, and personalization you choose for each piece. Add them to classic cable, wide-link, or heavier curb chain and go to town—the more the merrier. The idea here is a bespoke, somewhat messy, eclectic mix. This summer, more is more!"

Zoe Chicco 14k Gold Small Padlock Necklace ($1995)

Zoe Chicco 14k Gold Small Curb Chain Ring ($500)

Laura Lombardi Calle Gold-Plated Necklace ($195)

Andrea Fohrman

Out: Bib Necklaces
"While I'm sure they'll come back as most trends do, right now I'm over the bib necklace in favor of something more delicate."

In: Something Personal
"These days I love personal jewelry, which I think is always in style, especially a piece that can be personalized in a way that feels unique to the wearer. Every day I wear one of our moon phase necklaces that have charms representing the phase of the moon from special events in mine and my family's lives."

Andrea Fohrman Custom Diamond Initials Pendant ($7000)

Maya Brenner 14K Yellow Gold Monogram Post Earring ($98)

Sarah Chloe Elle Square Initial Bracelet ($139)

Jade Trau

Out: Front-to-Back Ear Jacket
"I'd say the trend that's officially out is the front and back ear jacket… or maybe I'm just wishing it is because the back of the ear is for kissing, not for baubles." 

In: Tiny Ear Piercings
"In for spring/summer: lots of tiny earrings. The piercing trend is not going anywhere. These are my favorites right now that I can't keep in stock."

Jade Trau Small Kismet Hoops ($2350)

Adina's Jewels Double Imitation Pearl Huggie Earrings ($35)

Charlotte Chesnais Inner Naho Earrings ($495)

The 10 Most Iconic Pieces of Jewelry—Ever - Yahoo Lifestyle

Posted: 19 Jun 2019 12:00 AM PDT

While jewelry trends come and go, there are certain iconic pieces that stand apart from the rest and endure the test of time. Though we consider ourselves something of experts on the topic here at Who What Wear, we're fortunate enough to have some of the leading experts in the field on speed dial (in a manner of speaking). So, curious as to which pieces of designer jewelry have the cachet to be deemed iconic, we decided to consult none other than Katie Ward, the senior fine jewelry and watches expert at The RealReal.

According to Ward, there are several key factors to keep in mind when considering whether a piece of jewelry is iconic. "Iconic pieces are defined by the confluence of elements that created them: design, material, the designer, the patron, the culture, the period," she explains. Without further ado, keep scrolling to see the most popular designer jewelry pieces of all time, according to a fine expert at The RealReal.

Van Cleef & Arpels Zip Necklace

"Twelve years of engineering in the making, the Van Cleef Zip Necklace has outlived Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, whose suggestion inspired the design. The Duchess didn't live to see her brainchild realized in 1950, as a functioning zipper that converts a necklace into a bracelet."

Van Cleef & Arpels Diamond and Onyx Zip Necklace ($307500)

Cartier Panthère Hoops

"Wallis Simpson also shopped at Cartier, where she picked out a Panthère brooch created by Cartier creative director Jeanne Toussaint. It was the first of many Cartier Panthère in her collection, and the start of one of Cartier's best-known collections."

Cartier Panthère Hoop Earrings ($12195)

Cartier Panthère Ring ($24500)

Cartier Juste un Clou Bracelet

"Is it really just a nail when it's an 18-karat diamond nail? Aldo Cipullo and Cartier collaborated to create this, capturing the edgy energy of 1970s New York City and a new definition of luxury."

Cartier Diamond Juste un Clou Bracelet ($9495)

Cartier Diamond Juste un Clou Bracelet ($14650)

Verdura Maltese Cross Cuff

"Count Fulco di Verdura designed the Maltese Cross Cuff, a signature of the jewelry house that still bears his name, for his boss, friend, and collaborator, Coco Chanel."

Verdura Peridot, Topaz & Diamond Maltese Cross Cuff Bracelet ($49500)

Verdura 18K Multistone & Enamel Maltese Cross Cuff ($32195)

JAR Geranium Leaf Earrings

"Jules Arthur Rosenthal, arguably the most influential twentieth- and twenty-first-century jewelry designer working today, is the only jewelry designer the Met museum has exhibited in a standalone show. He continues to innovate with materials and execution, like using aluminum in this earring to create a lightweight, modern look.

JAR Geranium Leaf Earrings ($7495)

JAR Aluminum Pansy Earrings ($6795)

Tiffany & Co. Retro Tire Track Link Bracelet

"Mechanization and World War II informed a look back at earlier Art Deco designs post-war through an industrial lens. I really love designs that incorporate those retro elements. Tiffany & Co. does this beautifully, echoing the tracks of armored military tanks with this Retro Tire Track Link bracelet."

Tiffany & Co. Retro Tire Track Link Bracelet ($7495)

Tiffany & Co. Retro Tire Track Link Bracelet ($8995)

Krementz & Co. Art Nouveau Necklace

"Soft, feminine, and naturalistic, the Art Nouveau movement developed as a reprieve from the urgency and monotony of the industrial revolution.

"Handmade designs with an emphasis on spontaneity, organic materials and subject matter, and lyrical motifs set the tone for style as an escape from advancing modernity. Look no further than American designer Krementz—these necklaces are some of my favorites.

"If Art Nouveau designs speak to you, explore Nouveau Revival, executed later by the master of the form, Masriera, for example, this pendant necklace."

Krementz & Co. 14K Art Nouveau Pearl, Amethyst & Enamel Pendant Necklace ($795)

Krementz & Co. 14K Art Nouveau Coral & Pearl Collar Necklace ($945)

Marcus & Co. Art Deco Bracelet

"In 1925, a brand-new aesthetic got a name at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts. Celebrating industry and innovation, the strong geometry and bold colors of Art Deco design are instantly recognizable and one of the most consistently desirable periods in jewelry history."

"You can't go wrong with designs from Cartier, Mauboussin, or Chicago designer Peacock. I really love this unbranded statement ring and, one of my personal favorite deco designers, New York City-based Marcus & Co.—this bracelet by them is stunning."

Marcus & Co. Vintage Platinum Sapphire & Diamond Art Deco Bracelet ($28500)

Marcus & Co. Art Deco Emerald Diamond Platinum Line Bracelet ($29500)

David Yurman Ruby Cable Cuff

"Rubies have captured the human imagination for thousands of years—they're mentioned in the Book of Exodus. Prized for its startling, vivid color, exceptionally rare rubies weighing more than five carats and sourced from historically significant mines in Burma, command a premium in the market."

David Yurman Ruby Cable Cuff ($395)

David Yurman 18K Ruby Cable Band ($895)

Saint Laurent Crystal Grunge Tiara

"While the tiara, as we know it today, is closely tied with seventeenth-, eighteenth-, and nineteenth-century royalty, the style derives from classical roots. European royalty, determined to establish their legitimacy, used symbols like tiaras to reference ancient Greek kings and Roman emperors. Today, the tiaras of this period denote elegance and taste elevated to another level. They can also come in handy; ladies are not received in the British Royal Diplomatic Court of St. James without one. I am partial to Saint Laurent's modern take on a classic with its grunge tiara."
