Jewellery is so much more than the final touches to your outfit. It brings your blue jeans and white top together, it adds the sparkle, the shimmer and spells out exactly who you are. In 2023, sporting all of your gems and jewels is how you show the world exactly who you are.

Thanks to the runways of London, New York, Paris and Milan we’ve been given the most trustworthy and exciting insight into these top trends.

In 2023, everyday jewellery has been entirely reimagined. Think every day, but elevated. We now wear our best weekend earrings, that special necklace, and the beaded jewellery you only pull out when packing for Portugal, every single day.

We can officially report some of the hottest trends include chunky silver jewellery, eternity rings and stacking your statement jewellery. We talk about everyone’s favourite birthstones, hacks for your stack and the top engagement ring styles for 2023 down below.

SERVING ICY SILVER

Cool-toned jewellery has made an official comeback. We’re talking thick, textured silver that sort of looks like molten rock. The more chunk, the more texture, the better. Just less volcano.

To nail the trend, stack your silver statement pieces sky high. Chunky chains, wide bangles and standout earrings – we want you to add it all.

Whether it’s sterling silver, white gold or stainless steel – there’s certainly a silver statement piece for everyone.

Don’t forget: a watch. It’s an effortless way to add chunky silver into any look and makes for a fabulous starting point. Oh, and it helps to tell the time.

EVERYDAY BEADS

Beaded jewellery has become less holiday, more everyday wear. And we’re here for it.

Consider it a revival of the ’90s beaded necklace trend. This time it embraces and embellishes regular chain jewellery. We’re seeing a lot of pieces that alternate between gold or silver beads and then coloured beads.

We’re seriously crushing on beaded anklets, bracelets and necklaces. Just anything beads and we are listening.

Beaded jewellery is also an effortless way of injecting colour into your jewellery get-up. Did someone say dopamine dressing? And it makes for the perfect present for your bestie. Good way to earn your title as the best gift-giver ever.

FANCY AN ENGAGEMENT?

It may be a new year, but fancy-cut diamond engagement rings are still just as iconic.

A fancy-cut diamond is a diamond cut into a shape other than the original round brilliant. Essentially, it’s any diamond not in the typical round shape.

A fancy-cut engagement ring is the pick of 2023. Trendsetters want something different from the common shape. Did we mention they’re unique, dazzling, and the kind of diamond cut that stands out from the crowd?

We also think it’s where the fun happens. From princess to pear, heart to emerald, and baguette to marquise – there’s a fancy cut diamond sure to tickle everyone’s fancy. Why? Because they’re a unique cut. Different from the usual and made for turning heads with their eye-catching sparkle.

ALL ABOUT BIRTHSTONES

Not only do they lift your mood and make you feel totally zen, birthstones are also proving to be hotter than ever as we head into 2023. Especially when you mix and match them.

It doesn’t matter if you're born in December and you’re wearing a sapphire or an opal. We like to break the rules. Pick and choose your colour and stone as you please, regardless of your birth month.

Right now: Garnet (January’s birthstone) is trending. Probably because it's January. It’s a deep red and when worn with yellow gold jewellery it gives nothing but a trendsetter. Whether you sport a birthstone on a bracelet, ring, necklace or earrings – think maximalist. More is more kind of stuff.

To layer on your birthstones: add garnet with amethyst, pearls, and aquamarine.

RINGS MADE FOR ETERNITY

Eternity rings? Obviously in.

It’s no surprise that eternity rings, or infinity rings, have had a resurgence in popularity. They’ve got the most special meaning and it’s a sentimental way of adding to your ring stack.

The actual ring will usually have a circle of gemstones, or diamonds, which is said to symbolise never-ending love. Making it the perfect gift to mark anniversaries after five, 15 or 50 years together. How cute.

And for the fashionistas? It’s the ultimate ring to add to your stack, regardless of marriage and anniversaries.

In 2023, go for diamonds and bold coloured gemstones. Can we tempt you with emeralds and diamonds? The perfect present for your significant other or for yourself, for birthdays or just because.

LAYERS ON LAYERS

News flash: Layering every piece of jewellery is still in vogue and hotter than ever. It adds necessary drama to any look and takes your jewellery game from beginner to pro.

Let’s call it layers on layers.

Stack your bracelets, necklaces and earrings sky high. Maximalists, you know the drill.

Dainty jewellery people, we hear you. You can still stack to the nines, but just consider your proportions.

• Wear necklaces with different lengths and aim for space between each
• Choose stud earrings and a longer hoop in the front lobe
• Wear bracelets instead of chunky bangles.

If you want to do something a little edgier: mix your metals. Because, why not?
