Slowly but surely summer is approaching. Every morning we can hear the birds singing outside the windows and the sun is showing its rays more intensely and brightly. We all want to look good in summer, we let our outfits shine and the jewellery, used to complement them, shine. So fashion goes hand in hand with summer, but just like the current weather, it is very fickle. You definitely want to keep up with it though. Fashion designers are showing us their latest pieces that are defining our outfits and not just in clothes but also in jewellery. We, therefore, bring you the essential jewellery fashion trends that summer 2023 will bring. Don't hesitate to add the latest fashion fads to your jewellery boxes to complete your perfect outfit.
Viva Magenta as the colour of the year and colourfulness
The experts at Pantone have revealed what colour they have chosen for 2023. It is raspberry, a shade known as Viva Magenta. This beautiful vibrant colour offers the opportunity to accentuate your outfit and even the simplest piece in this colour can brighten up your overall look. This will make Viva Magenta a favourite colour not only for the latest pieces of the most successful fashion collections, but also for the press and the industry as a whole. Viva Magenta communicates an untamed energy and joy.
In fact, Pantone Inc is a company that has made a name for itself with its colour system and sells directly its own samplers, which many of us know as pantone swatches. It's a world-renowned company that sets the colour fashion trends. In 2022, for example, it announced Very Peri as the colour of the year, which was supposed to symbolise a new beginning and a better time full of hope and optimism. It is a beautiful purple colour, full of life.
In any case, this summer, apart from the colour Viva Magenta, will be all about colour. Popular will be combinations of silver with different colours and colour combinations. This is great news for fans of extravagance and vibrant outfits. So let's put the three-colour rule on the back burner this year and try to combine as many colour combinations as possible this summer. Even in this case, however, let's not forget that the colours we combine should still go together.

The end of the golden era
Until last year, the world of jewellery was dominated by shining gold. This year, however, we have good news for all silver enthusiasts, as beautiful gold is set to replace the uniquely shiny silver as the metal of the year in fashion trends. It's a simple and versatile material that goes with every outfit and occasion. Silver earrings, bracelets and necklaces will be dominant pieces in all fashion collections and if you are missing silver pieces in your jewellery box, now is the time to add them.
Not only will silver be prevalent in jewellery, but it will also complement many fashionable pieces of clothing or handbags that you should match your jewellery with. However, those of you who are more into gold jewellery do not despair. You will certainly find plenty of ways to perfectly combine multiple types of jewellery. Gold and silver combinations have long been a fashion taboo and will be more than in demand this year too!
There is no limit to the length - shoulder-length earrings
It is earrings that will be at the forefront of jewellery trends in summer 2023. The most fashionable pieces will be decorated with stones of different colours and sizes. The latest trend will be large earrings adorned with coloured stones. This style of earrings is perfect for summer outfits, adding a touch of colour and movement. In addition, it will also elongate your neck beautifully! Long earrings embedded with lots of multicoloured stones were also introduced by the world famous Louis Vuitton in their collection this year at the show in Paris known as Paris Fashion Week. Long earrings will therefore not only be modern, but in addition, you will definitely catch the attention with them. They are the perfect statement piece that you don't have to accessorise with a necklace and yet you will look perfectly adorned!

When one piece just isn't enough - elbow-length bracelets
Bracelets will become another important element in jewellery for the trends of summer 2023. You have free reign in the style of bracelets, the trends will range from simple metal bracelets and chains to bold and chunky pieces. Ideally though, combine multiple types of thickness, simple with bold to fill the entire length of your forearm! Circle-shaped bracelets or bracelets with symmetrical designs will also be very popular. Don't forget to stick to the colour trend too and combine silver and coloured bracelets or add a colourful element to your bracelets like a watch or long earrings. If you want to totally shine with your fashion spirit, take the option of bracelets that are worn up to the elbow area. This type of jewellery was shown to us by Laquan Smith in New York and has been one of the trendiest pieces for quite some time.
Necklaces are not to be missed - chain necklaces with stones or simple bracelets tied in with the nature
Necklaces are one of the top jewellery items along with rings. This has been the case for many years, which is why the fashion industry does not lag behind and presents the latest trends in necklace wearing every year. This year, chain necklaces are coming to the limelight, as they carry with them a mark of luxury and elegance. These necklaces are mostly simple and subtle, so it's easy to match them with fashionable long earrings, which should be a top trend this year. Chain necklaces, specially those with multiple precious stones placed in multiple spots, should not be missing in any lady's jewellery box out there. Choose the stones according to your own preferences, pick a colour that will improve your mood or simply just suits you. Don't be afraid to experiment and put multiple colours of stones in a necklace or just use simple layering and choose multiple necklaces with different coloured stones.
Ulla Johnson also introduced a fashion collection this year with chunky necklaces in the style of nature and the sea. These were delicate natural beads and shell-shaped pendants. Such jewellery fits almost every lady perfectly and can also bring back beautiful memories of summer holidays. So, do not hesitate to choose natural style accessories at least few days in summer and put some memories in your necklace or choose such necklaces directly on this year's summer vacation. This will make you look much more exotic and match your style with the destination itself. However, don't choose long and massive earrings to go with chunky necklaces, otherwise you'll look too over-decorated.
Vintage pieces and pearls making a comeback
The good old days are back and they bring with them a lot of beautiful pieces. The pearls of every colour that are part of jewellery have long since ceased to be a suitable accessory only for mature women. On the contrary, a pearl matched well with your outfit can dazzle at any age and you can contrast modern and traditional elements beautifully. It's exactly these contrasts and complementing modern pieces with a bit of tradition that will be a trendy way to reminisce about the past and set yourself apart from the crowd in the summer of 2023.
In general vintage pieces will be a big trend this summer. Not only earrings and necklaces adorned with pearls and coloured stones will be popular, you can also add colourful chunky necklaces or various rings of interesting shapes to the vintage trend pieces. Some necklace pieces with a natural motif can also look unique and take us back several decades.

The more rings, the more trendy
In the jewellery fashion trends, we should definitely not leave out rings. The fashion trend this year will definitely be simple pieces in combination with more expressive ones. When it comes to rings, you can definitely let your extravagant self loose and feel free to wear one ring on each finger. Take advantage of other trendy tips such as using lots of colours, the colour of the year Viva Magenta, make it all silver and accessorise with pearls and you have the perfect fashion statement that will definitely catch everyone's attention.
When it comes to the shape of rings, more and more people favour the so called chevron rings. These are unique pieces, both simpler and more intricate, that are shaped like a V. Some also call these shapes wishbone, after the shape of the fork bone in birds, which is very similar to the shape of this ring. Old traditions say that breaking this bone in two brings good luck. That's why these unique jewels are also said to bring good luck! Feel free to give it a try and get yourself a few of these trendy pieces this year.
Don't forget timelessness
So, this summer will bring many new trends and some will return. Others will stay in the spotlight for another year and some will go away. What we should never forget, however, is to have a few timeless pieces on hand that will look great on you regardless of the latest trends and fashion quirks. Simple diamond rings or gold earrings with a zircon and a simple stud fastening are jewellery pieces that you can never go wrong with. Combine new trendy jewellery together with timeless ones to achieve the perfect look every day. You'll show your personality and unique style.
