Move over chunky statement pieces, because the understated jewelry trend is here in a big way. From runways to red carpets, elegant necklaces, studs and rings are everywhere. While the tiny trinkets can make a statement at Spring 2019 shows like Chanel and Christian Dior despite their size, these beautiful pieces work just as well for everyday wear.
For years now, fashion has been trying to make maximalist jewelry mainstream, and while we love a statement choker as much as the next trendsetter, the “less is more” approach is having its moment. From kitschy designs to quirky studs to hip neckpieces, here are some of the best ways to wear understated jewelry.
