We’re kicking off the New Year with a report on jewelry trends for 2021. Whether you wear your favorite designs during a zoom meeting, or just around the house, nothing can elevate your mood more than when you’re wearing a piece of jewelry that you love. From diamonds to pearls, and everything in between, the jewelry trends for 2021 will give you inspiration to liven up the loungewear you’ve been wearing for the last ten months! Read on for the top ten jewelry trends for 2021.
1. Front Facing Hoops
We love a good hoop earring. For 2021 we’re seeing hoops in a different direction! Front facing styles are dominating, and we’re all for it!

Oval engagement rings have been gaining in popularity over the last few years, and 2021 is no exception. An oval diamond is considered a fancy shape diamond with exquisite brilliance and fire. Whether you opt for an elongated oval, or a rounder, fatter version, an oval diamond is an ideal choice if you like the flash of a round brilliant, but want the uniqueness of an oval diamond.
