From dangling earrings to choker: the SS22 trends

What will be the trendy jewelry in the next spring/summer?

With the new season comes back a carefree and fun fashion that borrows childish subjects, past trends and shapes that tickle the fancy. Read on to discover the hottest trends for the new season.

1. Chandelier earrings: the return of pendants

Let’s start from the top: whether you adopt a lady-like style or embrace an ethnic inspiration, for spring/summer 2022 the lobes want to return to host elegant pendant earrings in style. This format, declined in many variations for all tastes, is one of the brightest trends of the season and confirms the prominence of the ’80s style: characterized by cascades of crystals, large colored stones or elongated pendants, the “chandelier” model pendant earrings are transformed into top complements that do not go unnoticed (not coincidentally, in English “chandelier” means “chandelier”!).

2. Choker: necklace or collar?

Moving to the neck, spring-summer awaits us by putting in the foreground the choker necklace in the “strangolino” version. The choker necklace, in fact, has as its main feature a particular adherence that allows you to wear it even in the middle of the neck defying the force of gravity. Very popular in the ’90s (especially in the black choker variant in velvet or braided wires), this choker lends itself to many different styles depending on the accessories: from the studded collar typical of the gothic and punk rock style, in fact, we pass to the choker necklace with pendants of romantic inspiration or the pearl choker, very refined and sensual.

3. Eyecatching necklace: watch out for the pendant!

Literally, it is a “necklace that attracts attention”: an eyecatching necklace is a jewel composed of one or more lengths and adorned with a small or large pendant, very special or absolutely colorful. Among the most trendy necklaces with particular pendants we find necklaces with pendants inspired by the world of childhood, fantasy or romance, such as the tender necklace with heart pendant. The most daring souls, then, will be able to dare wearing original precious accessories such as a necklace with photo pendant or overlapping several necklaces with large multicolored pendants.

4. Bangles and cuffs: the inevitable rigid bracelets

What is the difference between a bangle and a cuff? The two formats of rigid bracelets are distinguished by a simple detail: while a bangle is a rigid bracelet without closure or opening, the “cuff” model is distinguished by the semi-circular shape that includes an opening through which it is possible to pass the wrist. In both cases, the rigid women’s bracelet is a must-have accessory to face the summer with a jewellery box worthy of the hottest and most carefree season. The plus for spring/summer 22? Choose big, golden bangles or cuffs, perfect on tanned skin.

5. Chunky rings: the world of the “big rings”

“Chunky” means “massive”: chunky rings, in fact, are really big, peculiar and often colorful rings. Another macro trend of the season, the particular rings with stones in oversize version dominate the look by putting in every gesture the full personality. For this spring-summer let your creativity run wild and choose rings with special shapes without forgetting to wear an important ring that takes the leading role.

6. Gold brooch: elegance and brilliance

Precious, original and refined, the brooches in white or yellow gold are back in the limelight as sophisticated details to give brightness, authority and value to outfits of all kinds.
