With the arrival of Spring/Summer 2023, jewelry trends are set to be bold yet elegant. Look out for stackable bangles or delicate chokers featuring colourful gemstones or unique elements such as mother-of-pearl, acrylic and wood. Enamelled pieces with bright colours and intricate detailing will also be popular. For a more minimalist style, choose fine chains in gold and silver with subtle details like personalized initials or birthstones, star charms or small pendants. Finally, earrings are always in vogue – especially long earrings – opt for styles that feature geometric shapes or pearls for added sophistication.

There is nothing like putting on a brand new necklace, seeing it shimmer and sparkle on your skin, only to put the same necklace on a few months later to find that it does not have the same vibrancy it once did. You thought you had taken care of your necklace, but it became tarnished anyways. Why did this happen and how can you keep your jewelry from tarnishing? HOW CAN I CARE FOR MY JEWELRY AND WHY DOES JEWELRY TARNISH? All jewelry will eventually show signs of wear; some pieces will do so faster than others.  This is because your jewelry has come in contact with oils, acids, moisture, and the air around you. While not resistant to tarnishing, some materials such as sterling silver and gold vermeil will hold up much better than plated metals. How quickly your pieces tarnish depends not just on environmental factors but also on you!   The makeup and hair products you use, your skin’s composition and the amount you sweat all contribute to the wear of your jewelry.
