In the southern hemisphere, we’ll soon bid farewell to warm summer weather and long days as winter approaches. Whether you’re planning to experiment with new wardrobe styles or enjoy wrapping up in comfortable fabrics and warm knits, there are a range of new accessory trends to compliment your look this coming season.
Kristin Weixelbaumer from jewellery brand Black Betty says that winter 2022 is all about making a statement. “It is the year of the Tiger – a symbol of passion, courage, love, and energy – emotions that are best projected in statement jewellery pieces.”
Weixelbaumer outlines trends to keep an eye out for:
Pearls are back
The modest Pearl is back with a vengeance and flaunting a range of modern settings. The Pearl is unique in that its appeal has transcended generations, ages, and cultures. Not all Pearls are formed perfectly symmetrical and unblemished and Weixelbaumer says that that’s where the appeal lies. “Celebrating the originality of these beauties, just like the uniqueness of individuals, is what makes the Pearl so special. This winter, choose baroque-inspired Pearl bracelets and feminine asymmetrical earrings to complete your look.
The chunkier the better
This season we’ll be channelling eighties vibes with chunkier-than-usual gold chains on all fronts. Earrings, necklaces, and rings are all following suit and contrasting beautifully with soft woolen scarves for colder months.
Floral inspirations
Summer might have drawn to a close, but we’re not forgetting the blooms that made us happy. Choose jewellery with colour inspirations from nature to keep you light and bright this winter, like this floral-inspired cluster ring or this beautiful pair of statement earrings, inspired by a lotus flower in bloom in silver or gold.
Zodiac inspired pieces
It has been said that our astrological footprint and birthstone play a pivotal role in guiding our desires and life callings. This winter, wear your birthstone or zodiac stone to tap into your own personal power.
Signet rings
There’s nothing better than a piece of jewellery that sets a trend and is also a possible heirloom. Signet rings have been around for many years, but the chunky accessory is back just in time for winter – and better yet – can be personalised to your own unique style or family crest.
