Turning the big 5-0 myself this year, my taste and style of jewelry has certainly changed since my younger years. But so has jewelry trends. No more of Madonna’s rubber bracelets and lace. Now, I wear custom designed diamond jewelry and anything that makes me smile and sparkle…plus matches my outfit & mood 🙂
As we navigate through life’s stages, our sense of style evolves and matures, often becoming more refined and confident. And while trends come and go, there are certain key pieces and styles that stand the test of time, especially for women over 45.
Come with me and explore some top jewelry trends that not only align with the style sensibilities of women over 45 but also help them express their unique personalities and experiences. So, let’s dive in!
1. Timeless Classics
Timeless classics never go out of style. Think of pearl necklaces, diamond studs, gold bangles – these are pieces that have been adored by generations and continue to be wardrobe staples. They can be paired with almost any outfit, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.
I always remember my grandmother with her beautiful gold bangle bracelets and the intoxicating jingle they would make when she moved.
Bangle bracelets, diamond tennis bracelets or alternating gemstone and diamond bracelets are such classics that leave a lasting impression.
How to wear it:
Pair your classic pieces with a crisp white shirt for a sophisticated day look or with a little black dress for an evening out. Remember, less is more when it comes to timeless classics.
2. Statement Pieces
Making a statement doesn’t necessarily mean being loud or flashy. It’s about wearing pieces that reflect your personality and make you feel confident. Statement pieces can be bold necklaces, oversized rings, or even a pair of chandelier earrings.
These statement pieces are worn to show the world your style and you wear it when you want to be noticed!
A lot of my clients create custom jewelry pieces for a special occasion and to feel beautiful, sexy, and extra sparkly on that special day. And of course, they can feel that same way when they wear these pieces to work or out to dinner.
How to wear it:
Balance is key when wearing statement jewelry. If you’re wearing a bold necklace, keep your earrings simple. Conversely, if your earrings are the showstopper, opt for a delicate necklace or perhaps no necklace at all.
3. Personalized Jewelry
There’s something incredibly special about wearing a piece of jewelry that tells your story. Personalized jewelry can range from name jewelry to monogrammed pieces to custom creations designed with your favorite gemstones or metals.
Pave diamond initials and customized name necklaces are very popular. They are simple, sheek and add that touch of glitter to your every day.
How to wear it:
The beauty of personalized jewelry is that it’s made just for you, so it naturally complements your style. Wear these pieces with pride and don’t be afraid to mix and match with other items in your collection.
4. Layering and Stacking
One of the hottest trends right now is layering necklaces and stacking bracelets or rings. This trend allows you to showcase multiple pieces at once and is a great way to express your creativity and personal style.
Many of my clients love to create stack rings, necklaces with adjustable lengths so that they can mix and match to create a new and fun look every day.
How to wear it:
Start with a base piece and build from there. Mix different lengths, sizes, and styles. The key is to have fun and create a look that’s uniquely yours.
5. Heirloom Redesigned Pieces
Some old or inherited heirlooms are just too out-dated for your style, but they may have parts of it that are extremely intricated and beautiful.
Many of my clients felt so guilty about having heirloom jewelry just sitting in a box not being worn. Until I showed them that you can still keep the sentiment and some of the beauty with a custom reimagined piece.
How to wear it:
With some elements of the old, these pieces can be worn on their own or mixed with contemporary jewelry for a modern twist.
Remember, jewelry is a form of self-expression. The best trend to follow is the one that makes you feel beautiful, confident, and true to yourself. So, go ahead and turn heads with these top jewelry trends for women over 45!
Until next time, happy styling!
