After living in loungewear and minimalist accessories for the last few years, it’s no surprise that we’re expressing optimism with our wardrobes — and that includes jewelry. While dainty chains, zodiac accessories and layered strands have been among the most enduring jewelry trends, bold bijoux are back in 2022.
Continuing the looks seen on fall 2021 runways and red carpets (including the Met Gala and Grammys), chunky accoutrements and retro jewelry punctuated the spring/summer 2022 shows. See: supersized cocktail rings at Dior and Givenchy; door-knocker earrings at Etro, Versace and Carolina Herrera; and maximalist chains on necks, earlobes and waists at Balmain, Givenchy, Tom Ford and more.

Don’t get us wrong: layered looks are still
From logomania pieces to statement-makers that nod to silhouettes of decades past (from the 1920s to Y2K), check out some of the best jewelry trends for 2022.
Jewelry Trend: Chunky Gold Chains
Larger-than-life links are among the top 2022 jewelry trends, as seen on the runways at Valentino and Hermès, to name a few. This season, go with oversized gold chains that make a bold statement solo or when layered with other over-the-top pieces.
Aqua Thick Gold-Tone 19-Inch Chain Necklace
Aqua’s oversized gold link chain necklace is lightweight and adjustable, and the price makes it approachable, too.

Jewelry Trend: Power Pendants
Lucky charms, evil eyes and hamsa hand amulets were spotted as jewelry at Stella McCartney and Markarian. Simple pendant necklaces and bracelets will never go out of style, so why not add a few symbolic pieces to your jewelry mix? (Plus, they play well with maximalist chokers and other charmed accessories this season.)
BaubleBar The Empress Tarot Card Necklace
Enamel adds an extra pop of color to metal chains, as seen on BaubleBar’s tarot card pendant necklace featuring The Empress.

Jewelry Trend: Tennis Bracelets
Long a yuppie essential, tennis bracelets are back on the fashion court — and you don’t have to be part of a country club to wrap one around your wrist. No longer restricted to a simple string of diamonds (pro tennis player Chris Evert famously swung her pricey bracelet off during the 1987 US Open), today’s gem-adorned strands come in colorful stones and a range of budgets.

The ancient embellishment of body chains has reappeared throughout fashion history, including more recently in the ’70s and ’00s — and now. Acne Studios, Blumarine and Marni are among those who sent below-the-neck accessories down spring 2022 runways. While these navel-grazing pieces were most popular for summer, they also pair well with figure-hugging silhouettes (think bodycon dresses and jumpsuits) during the fall/winter season.
