Unlike clothes and shoes, jewelry isn’t always something you take on and off every day. That means, it can veer more trend-agnostic than, say, a handbag or a dress. But the top jewelry trends for winter 2021 are anything but subtle. Between the floral-inspired bling seen at Peter Do, Simone Rocha, and Acne; the statement collar necklaces at Fendi, Dior, and Paco Rabanne; and the return of fringe in metal form at Marni, Chanel, and Jil Sander, this season’s go-to jewels were made to turn heads.
Jewelry has the power to change the vibe of an outfit quicker than any other accessory: Try swapping out your dainty gold chain necklace and mini hoops for a pair of stacked chandelier earrings and see how your entire look (and mood) shifts. Ahead, find the top trends of the upcoming season, plus our favorite necklaces, earrings, and rings to shop now.

The Return of the Statement Earring
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.

The Choker Gone Bolder
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.

Fringe Factor
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?

Winter Florals
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.

Statement Ring Renaissance
Next season’s biggest ring trend will be big and bold, so maybe place your dainty diamonds to the side for now. Designers like Miu Miu, Tory Burch, and Balenciaga showed that the statement ring is here to stay for winter and beyond.

Embellished Belly Chains
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.

Some Big Chains
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).
