Jewelry can be found in all shapes, sizes and styles. Even so, certain designs are presently more fashionable than others and will most likely continue to be popular in the coming year. Following are the top three jewelry trends for 2014- sure to continue into 2015. Best of all, as the year is on its way out, the Cyber Monday deals abound!
Chevrons and Pyramids
These two triangular shapes may be simple but have the potential to make heads turn. Pyramids and chevrons, when used on their own or in conjunction with the right shapes, have the ability to make heads turn. Long triangular earrings are particularly ideal for balancing out a full physique while shorter earrings of this nature are good for those who are naturally thin and/or petite.
The Minimalist Look
Half Carat Diamond Studs
The minimalist look is not only classy but also fairly affordable. Studs are particularly popular among both men and women this year, as is evidenced by the number of celebrities that have worn them for recent award ceremonies. Giuliana Rancic, Zoe Saldana and Lupita Nyong’o all wore studs of various styles and types for the Golden Globe Awards this year. Diamonds are the gemstone of choice for studs at this time. Some of these feature a single diamond while others contain numerous small diamonds.

At the same time, the minimalist style goes past earrings. Simple yet stylish circular and pyramidal pendants are also in vogue. Wide bangles and cuffs are popular as well, with yellow gold and platinum being the most popular metal options for these jewelry items. Platinum in particular is quite visible, as jewelry made from this metal has been recently worn by Jennifer Lawrence, Cate Blanchett and Zooey Deschanel.
Color
Kendra Scott Earrings on Sale for Cyber Monday
Colorful jewelry is not generally minimalist in style. Even so, it remains very popular with celebrities and the general public alike. Abalone, radiant orchid, blue and orange are colors of choice for those who are looking for jewelry in one or two single colors. Some have found that combining these colors in a ring to wrist piece is particularly attractive.
Alternatively, those who enjoy wearing multi-colored jewelry will find that this year is the year to do so. Gemstone earrings, rings, pendants and bracelets are all very popular this year. Miranda Lambert’s ultra-colorful, gem encrusted hoop earrings made a splash as this year’s Grammy Awards, as did Kate Perry’s colored stone drop earrings and rings.
Knowing What’s Right for You

Knowing what is trendy (and what is not) can help you choose the right jewelry item for any occasion. At the same time, you will want to keep your physique, height, complexion, eye color and personal tastes in mind when picking out jewelry to wear to a special event. Shopping for jewelry in person is always a good idea, as doing so enables you to try on the item to ensure that it compliments you.
Jewelry is a fascinating field, as there are always new styles, colors and looks to choose from. Even so, trends can come and go fairly quickly, so it is always a good idea to stay abreast of developments to determine what is and is not in style at any given time.
