DAINTY JEWELRY TREND

Shanus — Thu, 16 May 2019 12:21:56 GMT

Although the tiny charms on thin chains are layered and earrings are smaller hoops or studs, I just can’t get on that bandwagon. Yes, my huge overpowering statement necklaces are packed away temporarily although Leah still wears them beautifully.

I enjoy an arm full of bangle bracelets, necklaces that are more substantial layered w/ my pearls, etc. Instead of a few thin 18” gold chains, I still prefer my white metals. My old diamond studs are still somewhat larger and pearl studs as well. I haven’t changed my personal style.

How has your jewelry style changed (or not) with the trends?

I still wear the jewelry that makes me happy. I haven't changed my jewelry with the trends. Guess age might have something to do with it, I'm no spring chicken.

Trends are just that. I think most of us wear what complements and appeals to us, it is what makes us an individual and have the ability to be creative and express ourselves. I have found over the years, my taste in jewelry has changed. The few pieces that I might wear have significant meaning which has become my priority. So trends have little impact in my choice of jewelry.

Dainty jewelry does not work for me as nothing about me says Dainty.

I do try to be on trend with accessories, but I do wear what I like.

Like you, I love a good statement necklace. I still wear on occasion the more ethnic/ world market styles. Have not worn pearls in a while.

I guess that's why diamonds are forever: they are classic, go with everything from casual to formal and never, ever are out of fashion.

Some have said that a diamond tennis bracelet is no longer fashionable. I say it is when it is one of your signature jewelry pieces.

I am young enough to wear what I like and too old to care what anyone else thinks- especially some style dictator who is unknown to me.

I wear it all, happily. Although over the last few years, I have been adding larger costume pieces, not buying delicate cold chains/pendants, for example.

I like the trend but it just isn't me. The bigger the better especially for rings.

Lately I’ve become obsessed with ditsy little earrings, which was never my style before. They are so delicate and cute. I still wear bigger ones too.

I'm not much of a follower of trends. I wear what appeals to me the most.

I love it all. I like the idea of loads of dainty. Then it's not so dainty anymore.

I saw a Herkimer necklace that I really like over on HSN - it's a tiny piece that would fit beautifully at the neck and go on it's own or layered.

I may buy it someday.

Hope you are doing well.

I wear what I like. I have bold and I have dainty.

I tend to go a little lighter in the summer months because heavy jewelry makes me hot.

I have always preferred white metals.

@Shanus I've been into jewelry for nearly 30 years, so my taste has evolved a lot. In the beginning I thought I liked everything, so I bought lots of things I no longer wear.....although they are much more valuable now because most are in gold, and some are now rare gemstones.

I've discovered that what really turns me on is brightly colored gemstones (colored sapphires, opals, ammolite, etc.). I'm into designer looks and like larger rings, but I like to stack my colored gemstones bracelets. I don't like bulky necklaces or earrings because I'm a thin person who can't stand all the weight on me.

So......no, I don't really follow trends, but if I see something that is different from what I already have (hard to do now since I have so much), I will get it because I still love having something new!

I usually wear the classic stuff. Trendy is not me. I like being a little conservative when it comes to my jewelry but not so small and dainty that you have to get in my face to see it...lol!

@faeriemoon I agree about going lighter in the summer...but lighter to me means less pieces not necessarily lighter jewelry. I may wear 3 bangles w/ my watch instead of 5, etc. Because I’m “small”, I’ve been gifted many dainty pieces especially during my teen years. I still have them because of sentimental attachments, but I’m saving them for my granddaughters.

@SilleeMee You are so right. If a piece of jewelry is that small/dainty that someone has to get that close to have a good look, they’re in my personal space....That’s a no!

Taste in jewelry hasn't changed much over the years and don't follow trends. No, dainty doesn't fit my personality and doesn't look good on me.

Have always liked big and bold, long necklaces, thick bracelets, watches with wider bands and larger faces, and because I have long fingers, I can wear large rings. My clothing style is monochromatic classic and; although I'm on the thin side, I think this type of jewelry works best for me.

Still wearing some hand crafted sterling pieces purchased in my 20's. Although, I have some gold, prefer sterling silver over it and fashion jewelry, but have some of Joan Rivers Chanel inspired. I also wear Heidi Daus and Louis Dell'Olio.

Never wore dangle or stud earrings.

I don't pile my jewelry on. One necklace, one ring, and watch might be enough. Don't always wear earrings and bracelets. Since my jewelry is bold, I try not to overdo it.

I think dainty looks better on the younger girls. For me I'm still wearing my medium or slightly bold jewelry. I was never into very large statement pieces but my earrings have to be drops that are at least 2 1/2" inches long so you can see them peeking our from under my hair. I never was one for small earrings or posts.

Shanus: Your jewelry collection sounds beautiful.

I usually wear dainty necklaces and earrings, but my bracelets and rings are more substantial.

I have always been a conservative dresser, so understated pieces were always my thing. Studs or huggies for me. Layered chains, layered station necklaces, gemstone line bracelets, no rings or watches. The bold look is great on others--my style is low key.

Re: DAINTY JEWELRY TREND

sunshine45 — Fri, 17 May 2019 04:01:09 GMT

dainty jewelry is not for me.

in fact, i am going in the opposite direction.....bigger, bolder, and fun pieces.

have purchased a few pieces of costume jewelry at baublebar within the past month.

for mothers day i received some kendra scott jewelry......definitely big and bold.

my kids know me so well.

How has your jewelry style changed (or not) with the trends?

I think dainty jewelry is cute but not for me. I am hard on jewelry so i have to wear substantial jewelry.
