One of the things that people adore about fine jewellery is its timelessness, enabling pieces to retain their beauty for years, and in a lot of cases, generations. Even with this in mind, it’s true that people’s tastes change from year to year, meaning that the creation of jewellery and how people choose to wear it is ever evolving.
Throughout 2016, therefore, we’re going to see the continuation of certain popular trends from last year but with a slight shift in the way that pieces are worn. Here are some of the designs that you’re going to see a lot more frequently this year as they become increasingly en vogue.
Coloured Stones and Long Pendants
Throughout 2015, women were accustomed to layering their necklaces, bangles and earrings. However, this year we are expecting to see more statements being made with less jewellery.
This means that the hues of jewels will be vibrant, pendant chains will be long, and people will be awe-inspired by the sheer craftsmanship used to create such beautiful pieces.
A perfect example is this Amethyst and Diamond Pendant, which would be the perfect addition to any jewellery collection. With a beautiful deep and vivid ‘trilliant’ cut amethyst hanging from an 18ct white gold chain, offset with 0.18ct of brilliant cut diamonds, it truly is an elegant and contemporary piece that embodies the trends of 2016.
It is currently available from Banks Lyon for £1,485.00.
Organic Pearls in Different Shades
Pearls have been used in jewellery for centuries, if not thousands of years, so it’s no surprise that they will still be sought after throughout 2016. With advancements in jewellery making, these organic gems are being decorated in increasingly sophisticated ways, such as surrounding themselves with other precious jewels and metals to bring them to life.
This 18ct white gold Tahitian and South Sea Pearl and Diamond Dress Ring is the perfect example of how jewellery crafting continues to evolve as an art form, enabling jewellery trends to become timeless designs.
Banks Lyon currently offers this ring for £2,325.00 or from £51.67 a month on finance.
Minimalist Elegance
As always, simple fine jewellery is going to retain its popularity this year. Whether it’s through people wearing minimalist white gold earrings or understated pendants that dazzle in the right light, it’s a style of jewellery that remains en vogue.
A perfect example of understated elegance is the Chopard Imperiale Collection. The delicate creation of each piece makes for an exquisitely elegant range that perfectly embodies the graceful ideal.
The Chopard White Gold and Chalcedony Bracelet is currently available from Banks Lyon for £1,010.00 or from £22.44 a month on finance.
