The 9 Best Jewelry Trends to Try This Fall, From Power Pendants to Maximalist Chains

After living in loungewear and minimalist accessories for the last few years, it’s no surprise that we’re expressing optimism with our wardrobes — and that includes jewelry. While dainty chains, zodiac accessories, and layered strands have been among the most enduring jewelry trends, bold bijoux are back in 2022.

Continuing the looks seen on fall 2021 runways and red carpets (including the Met Gala and Grammys), chunky accouterments and retro jewelry punctuated the spring/summer 2022 shows. See supersized cocktail rings at Dior and Givenchy; door-knocker earrings at Etro, Versace, and Carolina Herrera; and maximalist chains on necks, earlobes, and waists at Balmain, Givenchy, Tom Ford, and more.

Don’t get us wrong: layered looks are still

From logomania pieces to statement-makers that nod to silhouettes of decades past (from the 1920s to Y2K), check out some of the best jewelry trends for 2022.

Jewelry Trend: Chunky Gold Chains

Larger-than-life links are among the top 2022 jewelry trends, as seen on the runways at Valentino and Hermès, to name a few. This season, go with oversized gold chains that make a bold statement solo or when layered with other over-the-top pieces.

Aqua Thick Gold-Tone 19-Inch Chain Necklace

Aqua’s oversized gold link chain necklace is lightweight and adjustable, and the price makes it approachable, too.

Gorjana Laney Necklace

Though Gorjana is known for its minimalist pieces, the brand is going bold with this statement Laney necklace that can be adjusted from 16 to 18 inches.

Maison Irem Women’s Cortona Chain Necklace

Maison Irem’s Cortona necklace chain strikes a balance between bold and minimalist.

BaubleBar Juni Necklace

BaubleBar’s Juni necklace is made of gold-plated brass and elevates any white tee or holiday party dress.

Jennifer Fisher Large Essential Gold-Plated Choker

Jennifer Fisher’s large Essential choker was designed to be your go-to chunky statement necklace. The short 4.3-inch drop also works with a range of necklines; other options are available on the jeweler’s website. (Michelle Obama, Kristen Bell, Zendaya, and Meghan Markle are just a handful of stars who wear the designer.)

Yara Sophia Puff Mariner Chain Necklace

Most recently seen on St. Vincent and model Wallis Day, L.A.-based fine jewelry label Yara Sophia’s heirloom-quality handmade pieces are inspired by organic design. This 16-inch classic mariner chain is a more elevated take on the classic style and is perfect for layering with longer pendant necklaces and chokers.

Jewelry Trend: Power Pendants

Lucky charms, evil eyes, and hamsa hand amulets were spotted as jewelry at Stella McCartney and Markarian. Simple pendant necklaces and bracelets will never go out of style, so why not add a few symbolic pieces to your jewelry mix? (Plus, they play well with maximalist chokers and other charming accessories this season.)

BaubleBar The Empress Tarot Card Necklace

Enamel adds an extra pop of color to metal chains, as seen on BaubleBar’s tarot card pendant necklace featuring The Empress.

Birthdate Co. The Birthdate Pendant

Harness the power of your chart with Birthdate Co.’s custom-made gold pendant necklace based on your astrology.

Awe Woman Power Goddess Charm Necklace

Meghan Markle was spotted in Awe’s Woman Power Goddess Charm necklace, which boasts a pendant featuring the female Venus symbol combined with a protesting fist that’s finished with purple amethyst. It comes on a sterling silver or 14-karat vermeil gold yellow chain in your choice of length and style. And for a limited time, save 30 percent off sitewide with code VIP30.

Pyrrha The Earth Laughs in Flowers Necklace

Aurate x Kerry Lioness Pendant Necklace

Kerry Washington’s sustainable fine jewelry collection with Aurate includes this bold pearl necklace featuring the goddess Sekhmet. It’s available in recycled white, yellow, or rose gold.

Fie Isolde Love Bracelet

Scandinavian jewelry designer FIe Isolde (whose pieces are often worn by Katy Perry, Madison Beer, and Selling Sunset‘s Emma Hernan) created this dainty red bracelet — complete with a 14-karat solid gold nugget pendant — to remind wearers of the most meaningful things in their lives.

Jewelry Trend: Tennis Bracelets

Long a yuppie essential, tennis bracelets are back on the fashion court — and you don’t have to be part of a country club to wrap one around your wrist. No longer restricted to a simple string of diamonds (pro tennis player Chris Evert famously swung her pricey bracelet off during the 1987 US Open), today’s gem-adorned strands come in colorful stones and a range of budgets.

Gallery Tennis Bracelet

Rellery’s chic seven-inch tennis bracelet is made of multi-faceted CZ diamonds and 18-karat gold over sterling silver.
