This Year’s Winter Jewelry Trends Are Big, Bold Takes on Timeless Classics

The rules of style often dictate restraint, but based on the winter 2022 fashion trends, there were no such inhibitions. Even the jewelry at the fall/winter 2022 fashion shows went toe-to-toe with blocky shoulder pads, oversized jackets, sparkly tops, clashing prints, and blinding neon fabrics, almost out-competing the clothes for attention. But the metals and gemstones themselves communicated a message: Winter jewelry might be hurtling toward the ostentatious, but not by reinventing the wheel. All of this season’s hottest jewelry styles are remixes of classics, which means they’re not only easier to find and purchase at an affordable price point, but that you’re apt to wear them again and again—even when these loud trends inevitably quiet.

“It’s definitely going to be a big, bold winter, but in fine jewelry, classic and refined never go out of style,” wrote Tanaz Shayan, co-founder of fine jewelry brand SHAY Jewelry, in an email.

As we assessed this winter’s hottest runway trends in the jewelry category, we found a lot of overlap. You’ll notice that overlap in the categories defined below; that’s because the best thing about these styles is that they mix and match with ease. “Your trends should be very personal in fine jewelry, I think,” says Chelsey Bartrum, founder of jewelry brands Heirloom Revival and Starling Jewelry. “Everything comes in and out, but there’s definitely always things that you just wear because you love them and they’re for you.” Below, a rundown of the season’s spiking designs—and how you might make their looks your own.
