Admit it: you have a lucky necklace or pair of earrings that you always wear. I get it — I have a 14K gold necklace my mom gifted me when in high school that goes everywhere I go. I love that it doesn't get tarnished easily (shout out to waterproof jewelry!), so I can take worry-free dips at the pool or beach. But, sometimes I want to lean into a more playful style and trendier options like beaded jewelry.
Whether you crave minimalist or statement jewelry, the best jewelry trends for 2023 are the perfect guide for what to add to your personal collection next! Check them out!
Statement Jewelry
Even if the rest of your outfit is casual, your jewelry can make a statement. From dangling earrings with asymmetrical shapes to stacked rings, this is the trend you reach for when you're not interested in playing small.

Gold Circle Hand Bracelet ($109, was $159)
MAM adds intrigue to your look with this unique bracelet that goes on your hand instead of your wrist — how innovative!
Antoinette Necklace ($182, was $208)
Wearing your heart on your sleeve is sooooo last year. With the Antoinette Necklace, you can wear your heart(s) around your neck for all to see — and look stunning doing it!
Jewel-Toned Jewelry
Looking for a luxurious pop of color? Look no further. Jewel-toned jewelry is giving royalty in all the best ways with deep hues harkening back to the kings and queens of yore (or the kings and queens of now — hey, Queen Charlotte 😉).

Lexi Octagon Drop Earring ($65)
Personally, I'm having a moment with emerald toned rings — kudos if they even match my velvet couch. This is one trend that's playful and very specific, giving a set color palette. It even give you the chance to wear jewelry that matches your mood, or you can choose to focus on jewelry that matches your birthstone. These earrings from gorjana are an absolutely gorgeous take on the jewel-toned jewelry trend, IMO!
Blake Malachite Stone Inlay Bracelet ($81, was $90)
Get all the good greens of emerald, with all the good prices of malachite. The stones are hand cut, and laid in a cuban link chain for a bold, beautiful look!
Personalized Jewelry
You don't have to spill your guts to spell out your personality to the world. Hop on the personalized jewelry trend instead! Obviously, you can engrave names, dates, and any other details you wanna remember more permanently, but personalized jewelry can take some interesting twists. Whether you're wearing your zodiac sign, birth flower, or whatever makes you YOU, this trend is something special.

Personalized Marseille Necklace ($92+)
Not that anyone has to know your name or birth year, but there's something wistful about having a gold-plated necklace detail just the way you like it and unlike anyone else's. It's another more specific trend — frivolous or not — that draws you closer to whatever piece you're wearing. I actually cried tears when my "1991" necklace got stuck in the vent of my washing machine, so there's that. If you're like me and looking to add a new personalized piece to your necklaces, I love the Marseille Necklace from GLDN!
Solid Gold Birth Flower Ring ($125)
Instead of a nameplate necklace or birthstone bracelet, you can get personal with your birth flower! Every month has a flower associated with it, giving you a unique way to show off who you are.
Beaded Jewelry
Beads aren't just for Mardi Gras and friendship bracelets anymore — they're a chic addition to any outfit. These bespoke-feeling pieces give your look a gorgeous, handmade accent!
Semi Precious Bracelet ($350)
If you want to something that partially matches your Lexi Octagon Drop Earrings, you'll love this colorful, beaded necklace. It features 14K gold details and comes with either pink or blue thread to hold your beaded bracelet together. And get this — you'll enjoy having gems like amethyst, garnet, and onyx on your wrist! Do you see why I love beaded jewelry?
Beaded Gemstone Necklace ($100)
Made by Anokhi Green, this beaded necklace is all the best parts of the jewelry you made as a kid with all the quality you want as an adult. There are so many gemstone color combinations available, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't wanna try them all out!
Permanent Jewelry
In the words of Andre 3000, this jewelry trend will be on your body "forever, forever-ever, forever-ever." Of course, if you have to have surgery, you can get it removed by the jeweler who placed your necklace, bracelet, or anklet on. Other than that, you won't have to worry about misplacing anything.
The Hundred Summers Set ($133, was $156)
If you want something that isn't actually permanent, but is meant to last a lifetime, the Hundred Summers Set is perfect! Catbird is basically daring me to hit add to cart.
Catbird Forever Bracelet ($98+)
Looking for the OG Forever Bracelet? Come to Catbird! You can customize your options with different chains, charms, and diamonds. Just take your pick, book a "zap" appointment, and that's it!
Minimalist Jewelry
Simplicity is elegance, especially when it comes to the minimalist jewelry trend! From basic gold chains to stunning studs, this trend pairs well with just about any look!
Hey Harper Born Ready Set ($55 with summer sale, was $109)
If you're looking for minimalist, waterproof jewelry, Hey Harper has the necklace set for you. I particularly love that this set can be worn as is or individually depending on how you feel. Some days require layering your jewelry while others require something a little more discreet.
Block Large Hoops ($98)
Minimalist doesn't have to be basic — you can still make some bold choices! This square take on a hoop earring is unique in its own right, but still subtle enough for the minimalist babes among us!
Unique Engagement Rings
Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but when it comes to getting engaged I don't want a best friend. 😉 Unique engagement rings are a stunning way to show your partner you know them, love them, and want something so special for them!
Peacock Sapphire Engagement Ring ($1,250)
I've already sent this gorgeous engagement ring to my boyfriend as a reminder that I don't care for anything traditional. Since Sapphire is my birthstone, I feel this unique engagement ring will be more personal than anything else we've looked at.
Leda The Swan, Rubies ($3,200)
This ring from Catbird gives all the tradition of still having a diamond, flanked by two fabulous rubies. That pop of color gives a gorgeous twist on typical engagement rings, making it perfect for the partner that wants something a bit more unique!
