What’s in for jewelry this year? Our friends at Simon G. walk us through the hottest trends for engagement rings and fine jewelry for 2015 and beyond.
From retro designs to modern textures, the year in jewelry saw a sparkling array of diverse styles, with something for vintage lovers and fashion-forward tastemakers alike. Whether you’re in the market for an engagement ring or a statement piece for your wedding day, or on the lookout for something special for the holiday season, here’s a look at all the things shiny and fabulous rocking our world this year:
Engagement Ring Trends

The antithesis of the modern solitaire diamond engagement ring, vintage inspired rings with multiple diamonds are making a roaring comeback. Seen on the likes of Nikki Reid and Scarlett Johansson, these rings go beyond a simple halo; the side diamonds stand in their own spotlight and are an integral part of the ring design. Intricately detailed and absolutely breathtaking, these types of rings are perfect for a bride looking for something unique.
The colored stone engagement ring is another popular trend, no doubt influenced by Kate Middleton’s sapphire oval with a diamond halo engagement ring. The designers at Simon G. put a creative spin on this trend, using sapphires as side stones or in a unique halo setting crafted from baguette shaped sapphires.

Fashion/Bridal Jewelry Trends

When it comes to earrings, there used to be two distinct camps: “go bold or go home” or elegantly understated. The current crop of fashion-forward earrings — specifically ear climbers, cuffs, and jackets — is a beautiful mix of both: sophisticated and luxurious, but with an unconventional twist. Ear jackets are seen on everyone from Kate Mara to Jessica Alba to Julianne Moore, while fans of the ear climbers include Sandra Bullock, Taylor Schilling, and Emma Watson.
Simon G. designers have produce some really stunning and unique earring designs that run the gamut, from diamond-encrusted designs for the bold trendsetters, to sleek and simple pieces for those wanting something delicate for the night out.

Simon G. shares that their most popular designs recently feature gold formed into beads, braids, ropes, buckles, and other different textures and patterns. Call it whimsical, nautical or just plain pretty, braided and woven details are popping up everywhere on our radar too… and we just can’t get enough of this trend! We think that braided bracelets (we love the LB2090 bangle, which comes in rose gold, white gold, yellow gold or platinum) are the perfect day-to-night accessories. If you love them as much as we do, do check out the Caviar collection.
