4 Delectable Spring 2019 Jewelry Trends

With Fashion Week and Awards season coming to a close, it's an especially great time to share this spring's jewelry trends. I'm particularly excited about a return to Edwardian, Belle Époque, and Art Deco designs. Here are 4 delectable jewelry trends for this season.  

1. A Return to Antiquity

In the years leading up to World War I, culture reflected a lively security. Economies in the west remained markedly stable, while café societies popped up in Europe and America. The wealthy spent money freely on luxury items, such as fashion and jewelry. Called the Belle Époque, during this time jewelry designs evolved from the magnificent Edwardian splendor of platinum and diamonds, to include dainty floral motifs with a little more dangle and more sensuous, flowing lines. This year's jewelry trends include a beautiful blending of Edwardian, Belle Époque, as well as Art Deco styles. Below, gaze upon a few statement necklaces reminiscent of the Belle Époque.

2. Art Deco Jewelry Trends

During the 1920s and 1930s, just after World War I, Art Deco styles took hold. As the economies of Europe and North America returned to some stability, the monied began to purchase jewelry once again. While the diamonds and platinum of earlier decades remained in vogue, designers began incorporating rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, as well. Inspired by the machine age, jewelry design assumed more sculptural and geometric elements. This spring, expect to see Art Deco return to style, particularly in arm cuffs, earrings, and cocktail rings. Here are my top three favorite Art Deco offerings from EraGem for this coming spring.

3. Mixing Gemstones & Pearls

Pearls remain timeless. However, this year tastemakers mix it up with statement earrings and necklaces that mix pearls, metals, and gemstones in unique styles. Also free-form, or baroque pearls are coming into their own this season. Here I offer a few choices from our collection. Sam Lehr geometric earrings featuring rhodolite garnets and pearls.

4. Sculptural Arm Cuffs

Perhaps the most glamourous trend in jewelry this spring is stacking sculptural arm cuffs. This trend toward wide bangles may prove the most versatile. Mix and match to incorporate Art Deco diamonds, large colorful gemstones, and Belle Époque sensuousness. Then, step it up with lions, dragons, and serpents.
