Winter 2021 Jewelry Trends – Necklace, Earrings, Ring Trends

From the glitz-heavy Paco Rabanne winter collection to the always shiny Oscar de la Renta, the message for the season is simple—you glow girl. And the piece of choice to help you turn heads is the bold, look-at-me statement earring. All the better to frame your pretty face.

Chokers have always enjoyed the occasional resurgence, but this time, they’re more glam than punk. Labels like Dior, Fendi, and Acne all showed us how elegant—and transformative—the right choker necklace can be. The former tucked logo-adorned chokers under collars for a subtler look, while the latter went more literal with the trend.

Tassels made their runway return everywhere from Etro and Chanel to Giorgio Armani and Jil Sander—and for good reason. What better way to lighten up an outfit than with something as joyful as fringe?

Florals for winter may not have the same ring, but at a time when any bit of optimism helps, we’ll take it. Winterize the trend seen on the fall runways at Peter Do, Simone Rocha, Prabal Gurung, and Alberta Ferretti by going slightly less literal with it.

We know how it looks: Most people believe belly chains belong squarely in the early aughts—and nowhere else. But designers like Marine Serre, Isabel Marant, and Eckhaus Latta have us thinking otherwise. Bring the look into the cold months by wearing them atop a white button down or as a cinch for your oversized blazer.

Good news for anyone who stocked up on chains over the last few years: They’re not going anywhere, but they *are* getting bigger. According to Givenchy’s fall 2021 runway, the chunkier the better—and we can’t think of a more perfect winter jewelry trend than a huge hunk of silver (or gold).
