Hey beautiful stranger!!
It’s crazy to think that 2022 is just around the corner, but time has flown by during this pandemic. It’s safe to say we are all ready to get out into the world again and show the world our style! Especially with the holiday season quickly approaching. Is it just me or does it feel like all the stores such as Target skip right over spooky season and go straight to Christmas time? Target, we love you dearly, but please don’t go wishing our time away! If you don’t know where to begin with accessorizing post-pandemic, keep reading for some 2022 trend predictions so you can invest in timeless pieces and avoid fast fashion (we’ll dive into the effects of that later).
Anyway, a gift of jewelry is one of the most classic means of telling another person that you love them, are proud of them and that you never want to forget them. Even something small can be appreciated greatly. The gift of jewelry does not have to come from a loved one to feel special, treat yourself!! There is nothing more pure than respect and love for oneself (in my very humble opinion).
Thinking about buying or wearing jewelry is almost as exciting as actually putting on the pieces. Jewelry not only reminds us of our important relationships, it also helps memorialize those special occasions. You know that moment when you pick up a candle or an old perfume and you’re filled with nostalgia from the scent? Jewelry captures that same feeling! It is so sentimental because it preserves memories! I am confident that you will find that even collecting treasured jewelry to be more enjoyable.
If you’re like me, you want to maximize your investment. Sure, low quality jewelry is affordable, but you will be throwing money out the window on replacements. Or you’ll end up with jewelry that goes out of style so fast that you’ll be haunted by the memory of the silly bandz fad. To invest in jewelry is to invest in a memory (or simply yourself), and that is a truly priceless pursuit. It doesn't matter whether jewelry reminds you of good times you've had or hope for the future. All jewelry encompasses human emotion in some form.
Know what is trendy before you buy a piece of jewelry. The one thing that makes a great purchase, an outstanding one, is getting a bargain on it. No need to fear, your bling buddy is here, and I’ll show you all the 2022 jewelry trend predictions coming our way! When choosing your next piece of jewelry, consider the following so you can make an investment worthwhile!
- Mixed Metals
I know there’s mixed opinions on this style, but I actually love layering gold and silver chains. I think it adds more depth to the look and really makes the look pop!
2. 70’s Pendants
Abstract 70’s pendants are on the rise. Layering is always a good idea with these pendants as they can completely change the look. Be on the lookout for alluring geometric pieces. These trends are all about standing out so you definitely want to invest in bold pieces right now!
3. Chunky Chokers
The chokers we know and love are here to stay. They certainly aren’t going anywhere! However, there’s going to be a lot more bold statement chains that can’t go unnoticed as opposed to the dainty everyday chains. Everyday chains are simple and classic, and certainly aren’t leaving us anytime soon, but we are noticing that people are being a little more daring with the choker game. We will see it a lot more going into 2022.
4. Big Gemstones
Statement pieces are definitely on the up and up. Chunky, eye catching gemstones are going to be a hot commodity for 2022! Rings, necklaces, and everything in between! A lot of styles from the 70’s are being recycled, so bold gold tone details complimented with chunky gems and pearls or even enamel are great investments!
5. Bangles and Oversized Earring
Last, but certainly not least, oversized earrings and bangles. We are seeing a lot of statement earrings on the runway. The bigger the better right?! Did we mention that chunky pieces are everything right now? Well, a good bangle stack is something many of us will be guilty of in 2022!
You should expect good jewelry to last the rest of your life, and possibly beyond. Quality jewelry will be constructed to last, and show a fine attention to detail. Lucky for you, most of the pieces in the BAISAM collection have a thick gold plated coating. While they are sensitive to moisture, they are still perfect for everyday wear and made to last!
To keep your jewelry looking attractive, polish it regularly using a cloth made especially for this purpose. This is a chemical-free method to maintain the appearance of your jewelry. To clean your jewelry, obtain a soft two-sided cloth and gently rub in a circular motion. Use one side of the cloth for polishing, and reserve the other side for shining it afterward. Please please please don’t use acetone, ammonia, turpentine, bleach, or other harsh chemicals for cleaning them. Your jewelry box is begging you! Doing so can destroy enamel finishes, while clouding stones and crystals.
If you’re like Target and already preparing for the holidays, consider a piece of jewelry as a gift to a friend or loved one, perhaps even yourself! See what types of earrings they wear, if they prefer hoops or studs. If they have a color preference, or if they wear ankle bracelets. Do they like chokers, or prefer long necklaces? Our Dublin U-link dangles are a classic! They’re edgy yet elegant and look amazing with a basic tee or tank and your favorite denim jeans. Keep it simple! This information will allow you to purchase that special piece that you (and/or they) will treasure for life.
