Chunky, statement jewellery and tribal inspired pieces are everywhere this season, but this look can sometimes be difficult to pull off every day. If you’re looking for a little inspiration when it comes to picking out the hottest jewellery trends to rock to work and for weekend wear, then here’s our guide to the 5 jewellery trends to be seen in this autumn/winter.

#1. Statement jewellery

Big, bold styles are hot right now, but it can be difficult to pull off a chunky choker if you’re not feeling confident. It’s all about how you wear these pieces, and what you wear them with. One piece of statement jewellery at a time is more than enough, and you should keep the rest of your outfit simple to avoid looking too ‘busy.’ A plain shift dress teamed with a chunky, tribal choker is the perfect look for after work drinks, or why not be bold with this season’s chunky cuffs? Teamed with a three-quarter sleeve blazer, a chunky, stylish cuff will really help you stand out!

#2. Mixed metals

For an ethnic inspired look, mix your metals. Opt for costume and fashion jewellery and layer bangles or rings in various hues, from silver to yellow and rose gold, copper and brass. As a rule, when layering bangles stick to thinner, more delicate styles to avoid looking too overdone. Chunkier cuffs can be worn alone, but thinner bangles look more beautiful layered together, and mixing your metals gives a really fun look to this popular style.

#3. Inspirational pieces

Jewellery with an inspirational messages are always popular, but this season it’s a big hit. Rings from designers such as Wright & Teague, inscribed with poetic quotes, song lyrics or meaningful messages are everywhere, and whether you choose a chunky silver bangle or delicate yellow gold ring, you’re sure to look great rocking an inspirational message! Take things one step further and create a bespoke ID bracelet or ring with an inscription of your choice – the perfect gift for a special occasion!

#4. Chunky chains

Chain link jewellery is a top trend this season, and the chunkier, the better. From chunky chain-link necklaces to more delicate chain charm bracelets, chain jewellery is the perfect way to toughen up a pretty, feminine dress or add a touch of sass to an otherwise staid shift dress.

#5. Bold bangles

Chunky, hammered metal cuffs, bronze bangles, brass bejewelled bracelets – wrist jewellery is where it’s at this season, so make sure your wrists are adorned with some of this autumn’s hottest styles. Delicate, sparkly cuffs by CIRO in yellow gold and cubic zirconia are great for nights out, whilst bold, hammered metal cuffs make a statement during the day. The chunkier, the better is the rule, so don’t be afraid of statement cuffs and bangles.
