Spring 2019 Guide: How To Shop The Hottest Jewelry Trends - Forbes
As the temperatures rise, for comfort’s sake, we tend to subscribe to a more minimalist approach when putting together our outfits. Whether your daily uniform consists of a midi skirt and blouse or a tee shirt and shorts, the warmer weather inclines us to choose pieces that allow us to create single-layered outfits. As we abandon our sweaters in favor of sundresses, accessories enable us to embrace our creative side when getting dressed without having to worry about overheating.
The spring/summer 2019 season is all about statement jewelry. From the designer catwalks to retailers and Internet influencers, it seems that no one can get enough of bold, bright, and beaded pieces. A mix of quirky, nostalgic, and refined, this season’s must-have pieces range from delicate pearls to bold heart-shaped pendants and everything in between.
Read on to discover the hottest jewelry trends that you must know about before summer officially begins.
Anklets
It’s no secret that the fashion industry has some ‘90s nostalgia at the moment. Also known as ankle bracelets, these pieces have been completely reimagined. The anklet that we knew and loved nearly a decade ago has matured since its previous heyday. Despite the category’s strong comeback, the string versions no longer are in style. For spring 2019, elevated anklets are having a huge moment. From pearl and crystal detailing to gold-linked chains and gemstone-embossed options, this trend is taking over our social media feeds – further inclining us to buy into the style.

Encompassing every non-neutral shade, paradoxically, these pieces end up not clashing with other colors you decide to wear and pair well with nearly every outfit. For those looking to add some novel pieces to refresh their jewelry collection for the warmer months ahead, expand your everyday color palette and experiment with this trend.
