2022 Hottest Jewelry Trends and Where to Buy Them in Florida

If you’re like most people, you’ve spent the better part of the last two years lounging about the house in comfortable clothing and delicate, minimalistic jewelry. No one was socializing or hitting the town much. So it should come as no surprise that the whole world seems collectively ready to party and socialize freely again. And that newly rediscovered freedom has inspired a collective appetite for decadence in 2022’s fashion and jewelry trends. 

While delicate layered chains have been an enduring and reoccurring trend, 2022 seems to be the year of opulence. Jewelry experts, like Sal and John at Judy’s Jewelry Antique and Estate Jewelry of Fort Myers, FL, have noticed some great new emerging trends in jewelry on Instagram, Twitter, and on spring runways. Read on to learn more about 2022 jewelry trends so you can stay stylish.

Retro chic 

Revivals from generations gone by are nothing new in the fashion world. Jewelry in 2022 is inspired by the late ’80s, ’90s, and the Y2K bug, while also throwing back to Regency Britain, think the bold jewelry fashions shown in the television show Bridgerton. With the gloom and doom of Covid being pushed behind us, it’s no surprise that big, bold trends from the late 1980s to the early 2000s are so in style. Think colored enamel pieces, oversized seashell necklaces, brightly colored plastic rings, charm bracelets and clunky, interlocking gold chains. And while thick chokers were all the rage in the ‘90s, look for daintier styles with small charms. 

Layers and more layers 

Layering jewelry isn’t a new trend in 2022, but it is not going away either. The ways we layer are just changing. Opposing styles, bold colors, and distinctly different layers are what’s in. Get ready to layer some of the other jewelry trends you’ll read about below to create a one-of-a-kind style for yourself.

Logomania

From Gucci to Versace, all accessories in 2022 – jewelry included – are trending with big, bold logos. Instagram has endearingly dubbed this as “logomania.” These well-branded pieces are big, surefire statement-makers this year. If you’re interested in iconic, logo-heavy designer jewelry, these brands are ideal:

• Tiffanys
• Louis Vitton
• Dior
• Gucci
• Coach
• Versace
• Cartier
• Burberry

Chunky Yet funky

While delicate, layered pieces are still quite popular, we are seeing large-and-in-charge pieces trending. This is especially the case with chains. Large, link bracelets and necklaces are trending as this year’s big thing. Chunky, bold statement chokers that cover almost the entire neck have been seen all over runways (maybe trending because of the television show Bridgerton?). You will also see chokers incorporated into dress bodices and shirts. They’re bold additions that elevate any look. Y2K-style chunky link chains dangling down in heavy layers is a huge trend in 2022 as are larger styles of fancy chains like Spiga and serpentine. If you are trying to make a bold statement, these larger-than-life ideas may be just what you were looking for.
