Give your outfit an instant update with these bold jewellery designs.
The past few seasons have been dominated by subtle and minimal jewellery designs, using sleek lines and classic metals. Recently, however, we've seen the resurgence of bold signature pieces on the runway and we can't get enough of these bold outfit-completing pieces. Any look is instantly elevated with the addition of a memorable item of jewellery, and this season you get to play around with your own variations. Here are nine distinct trends to try.

Bling
Kelso layered pendant necklace 79.95
Somebody call the nineties and thank them for letting us use this trend! Bling is back, and luxury brands like Chanel are taking it to a new level. From OTT diamonds or diamanté letters to chunky crystal earrings, all things shiny are back in town. This trend can form part of a layered casual look or as an ode to the letter belts of old.
Pearls

Pearls are a massive trend this season. Layer them in decadent winding rows, or wear a single elegant row for some high-society appeal. Whether faux or real, pearls add a regal feel to any outfit instantly. New versions of this trend include a mix of pearl and chain that give the style a modern twist with a striking effect. If you are adventurous, give the layered look a shot!
Layering

Stacking and layering is the pièce de résistance of this season’s pearl obsession. Whether wearing two coin pendant necklaces or five necklaces with different textures and lengths, it’s an experimental and fun way to own the look. Try it by wearing the jewellery you had planned to wear, then add about two more pieces! The trick is to wear varying lengths so that each piece can have its own shine.
Chain Links
chain linked necklace 99.95
From chunky, gold-chain linked necklaces to paperclip-type pieces featuring different colours, chains are back and better than ever. Layer them or take a decisive stance, selecting only one standout piece to wear. The more neutral the palette of your outfit, the more eye-catching your chain will appear. What’s more, the chain-link style can be worn as earrings, necklaces or belts, take your pick and have fun!
Abstract/Geometric
stone-detail necklace 129.95
This has to be the season favourite for us. We love the rudimentary shapes and colour play that come with this trend. We hope your inner child is ready to mix and match shapes. This trend can be elegant and artistic, giving an outfit a highbrow feel. Give it the artistic pedestal it deserves by sweeping your hair up and out of your face.
Resin
resin hoops 79.95
Remember 80s statement earrings? They’re back! There’s surely no better way to welcome spring than incorporating all sorts of fun shapes in this durable material. Wear bright resin styles with neutral palettes for the ultimate pop.
Beads
Kelso bracelets (set of 8) 79.95
Beads are hot news right now, with soft glass, resin, stone or enamel styles lending a touch of playfulness to any outfit. Choose from blush tones or bright solid enamels to suit your mood and look.
Heavy Hoops
drop circle earrings 99.95
Hoops have been given a makeover and are here to make a real statement. Celebrities like Beyoncé are rocking hoops now more than ever and in interesting variants. So bid farewell to your simple hoops and make way for out-of-the-box designs when it comes to this jewellery staple.
Feathers
tassel earrings 79.95
Not just any feathers, mind. Think birds of paradise, with bright, bold colours that are exotic and exciting. Feather earrings are stylish and light; a welcome break from all the heavy earrings currently trending. The style can be recreated in pretty cotton or wool designs that give your outfit a cruelty-free fashion update.
