A myriad of trends have also emerged this year in all kinds of accessories. You can check them out here, ahead of the June market, which we’ve also included more details on below.

Shiny silver

One of the central themes has been the emergence of silver, bringing an elegant metallic touch to any room. Although the cool-toned, high-shine material never really went away, it has faced a resurgence as younger generations flock to fashion-forward layered rings and necklaces to make stylish statements. This same sensibility is shared by brands such as Sorrelli, Linny Co, Yochi and other brands using metal in their recent necklaces, bracelets and more.

Ornamental pendants

Superimposed on the modern shine of silver is the re-emergence of exaggerated pendants. Singular drops dangle on long necklaces, dangle on bracelets and make striking statements atop rings. Inspired by the pendant balls of the ’60s and ’70s, pieces from brands like Julie Vos, Brianna Cannon and Lost and Found Jewelry incorporate matte and colored stones, crystals and accents ranging from seashells to hearts for ornamental statements.

Celestial Connections

Increasing connections with celestial bodies have also given rise to a wide range of universal trinkets. Sparkling crystal stars, suns, moons and zodiac symbols adorn versatile charms and chains to anchor their wearers to the cosmos. Cosmic pieces, like those seen by Brenda Grands, Mignonne Gavigan, Golden Stella and many others, to bring fashionistas a deeper connection to their world while remaining grounded and glamorous.

Sculptural bags

The dynamic attitudes also extended to handbags, with new iterations of crossbones, top handles and other designs with a more sculptural and artistic appearance. Able’s shoulder and belt bags feature round silhouettes and knotted straps, while By Jenna Lee’s square bags feature colorful trims and Katie Loxton’s neutral Weekenders hold their shape smoothly with metal sides. dome shape.
