2020 Jewelry Trends to Help Improve Your Business

Layering

Layering bracelets and necklaces, and stacking rings, is red-hot for 2020. With necklaces, you can go bold or delicate. The difference in lengths can be dramatic or subtle. The goal is to be unique. Create a story, suggests Hollie Winter sales associate Ashley Lunsford.

You can pull together an amazing layered look with your child’s birthstone, a diamond pendant from your grandmother and a chain-link necklace. The combinations are endless.

When you layer bracelets, try a chain link, a tennis bracelet and a bangle ( or two! ) to create a personalized look. For rings, stacking is a sophisticated, contemporary style that allows you to showcase more than one ring. Don’t be afraid to mix stones – stack those diamonds with an emerald band for a cool pop of color.

Incorporate other trends as you layer. From the 1980s, the personalized touch is making a big comeback with initials, names and meaningful dates or phrases. From the same era, chain-link necklaces and bracelets are once again very on-trend.

Mixed Metals

We know, Mama always said to stick to white or yellow gold – no mixing! But times have changed and mixing your metals is a great look. Necklaces, bracelets, rings – as you layer, feel free to mix the metals.

It’s much more fun. Just pick the pieces you like and wear them. Rose gold is not quite as popular right now, but if you like it, you should add it in. Yellow gold earrings, paired with a stacked combination of white and yellow gold bracelets and a white gold ring? You bet!

Big Hoops

For earrings, Ashley gives us two words: big hoops. The best thing about this trend is the adaptability, she says. You will look equally fabulous wearing them with a cocktail dress or paired with a denim jacket.

Hoops show off well with a low, sleek ponytail – and bigger ones go great with loose waves. Go with a medium hoop for work or casual, and go huge for a fun night out.

In keeping with the layering trend, these earrings look fantastic with multiple ear piercings – wear your large hoops in the lobe and smaller hoops and studs up the side of your ear.

In line with the trend for minimalism and wabi-sabi, irregular pearls such as baroque pearls and keshi pearls are now lending their unique shapes to jewelry. Admire their look- and feel empowered about their message of imperfect beauty.

Hip hop jewelry started growing in popularity in 2019, we saw the rise in chains, blinged-out jewelry and more. In 2020, jewelry products with a hip hop flair to them will continue to rise. For example, this blinged-out personalized pendant for necklaces.

Personalization is the absolute hottest trend in 2020 with various categories offering custom products. But in the jewelry niche, personalization is always a goldmine.

Your customers will order the letter that means most to them, so be sure to have a note box on the product page so that they can tell you which letter they’d like to purchase as they order from your website so you don’t need to contact them to check.

Smaller retailers should capitalize on their size to make direct connections and separate their company from big-box retailers.
