What is minimalist jewelry?
When people tell you that they’re into the minimalist jewelry trend, what do they really mean? The key to understanding minimalist jewelry is to realize that minimalist jewelry is meant to enhance the overall look and outfit of the wearer, not to be the center of attention. That means that minimalist jewelry should be high-quality and classic.
This typically means pared-back items such as thin chains for necklaces and bracelets, studs or huggies on the ears, and simple ring bands. Sculptural elements can add visual interest to minimalist jewelry, creating a more organic and artistic aesthetic.
Minimalist jewelry can be worn, itself, in a minimalist way; this means only one or two pieces. It can also be worn layered and stacked, thereby taking a more maximalist approach to the minimalist lines of the pieces.
However you choose to wear your minimalist jewelry, remember that it’s there to boost your outfit, not take over! A gleam of gold or a hint of sparkle can go a long way to elevating any ensemble while keeping the look sophisticated.Â
Is minimalist jewelry still in style?
Absolutely! In fact, minimalist jewelry never went out of style. There’s always room for simple, timeless pieces, even if you decide to stack or layer them.
While minimalist fashion has waves of popularity, minimalist jewelry isn’t as trend-driven because people tend to see jewelry as an investment. In addition, while people often like to buy more playful and colorful jewelry as statement pieces, everyday pieces are easier to wear when they’re classic and uncomplicated.
Why is minimalist jewelry so popular?
Because the look of minimalist jewelry is so straightforward, it is typically very high-quality, in silhouettes that will never go out of style. What’s not to love?
How to wear minimalist jewelry
The great thing about minimalist jewelry is that because the pieces are classic, you can wear them however you want and they’ll always look chic.Â
To wear them in a timeless way, pick one or two simple pieces in the same metal color, such as a thin yellow gold chain paired with a yellow gold band ring with one line of pavé diamonds. This is a great way to wear jewelry for the work day or formal events.
For a more modern minimalist look, layer a few pieces in different metal colors. As long as each piece is clean and sleek, you can’t go wrong. This style will suit casual outfits and more playful looks.
