Many of the best jewelry trends from 2022 are still going strong, including chunky strands, mixed-metal pieces and maximalist gems.

1. Joolz by Martha Calvo Take A Chance Necklace

Bad Bunny has been seen in this fun and inventive jewelry brand, and we’re certain that he’d dig this particular style from Joolz by Martha Calvo for its baroque pearls and smiley face (both Benito signatures) and off-beat design — perfect for anyone who wants to lean into a luxe “craftcore” look.

3. Julia Vaughn Vintage Twisted Tear Drop Vintage Clip-On Earrings

All of today’s It girls — from Hailey Bieber to Kaia Gerber to Zoe Kravitz — have been spotted elevating their casual errand ‘fits by wearing big, bold, gold earrings. We love these ’80s-inspired clip-ons, which look just as good paired with an elegant LBD as they do with an oversized jacket and biker shorts. Fun fact: Hollywood entrepreneur Shay Mitchell is a fan of this L.A.-based brand.

4. Lavari Jewelers Stainless Steel Cuff

Channel your inner superhero with these stainless steel cuffs, which are 1.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches in diameter. Although minimalist in style, the concave silhouette adds some cool depth and dimension. (Lily Collins was recently spotted in matching cuffs on the red carpet; maybe she’s making a subtle bid for a Marvel cameo?)

5. Eliou Vix Gold-Tone, Bead, Pearl And Jasper Choker

While Harry Styles loves his pearls as much as Benito, the “As It Was” singer is also a big supporter of funky beads. Styles wore a variation of this multi-bead choker by Eliou in his “Golden” music video.
