Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live.

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

2017 Summer Jewellery Trends

Summer might not be here for a while yet but I am sure we’ve all had the odd sunny day recently which reminds us that’s it’s just around the corner. I know I did which got me thinking about my jewellery for this summer.

Summer fashion is always fun and interesting there are so many different ways to approach it and I can’t wait to tackle the summer months for my fashion favourites. But for now, let’s take a look at the jewellery trends for this summer.

2017 Summer Jewellery Trends

The 2017 trends are a real mix of old classics and new pieces that are showing a boom in popularity, so without further ado let’s take a look at my top picks for 2017’s summer jewellery trends.

Minerals and Geodes

Raw minerals and geodes are easily one of my picks for 2017 trends, offering a variety of colours and shapes, both men and women’s jewellery looks stunning with these natural beauties. Necklaces, in particular, were seen a lot on the summer runways from the big designers, but they are used in a variety of different pieces.

Finding mineral and geode jewellery can require a bit of searching but it will be worth it. I’ve seen some beautiful pieces on tateossian.com but you might be able to find some locally as well.

Thin Chokers

The choker has been a regular fixture of the UK’s summer jewellery seen for some years now but 2017 trends have shown it’s changed a little. Instead of the thicker more traditional choker trends are showing thinner and finer chokers to be the new favourite this summer. From simple bands of leather to more ornate pieces the fine choker looks set to be a popular piece this summer.

Gold Hoop Ear Rings

Great news the classic gold hoop earrings are back! Gold hoop earrings come in a range of different shapes, styles and sizes. It’s not surprising they are making a comeback for 2017. If you have a pair you’ve been saving, its time to break them out of hiding.  And if you don’t,  well now you have a great reason to go out and pick some up.

Bold Pendants

Pendants are looking like they’ll be a big part of 2017 trends but not in the way you might think. Summer jewellery pendants this year are much bigger and bolder. Instead of the cute smaller pendants, you might be used to you’ll want something bigger and more striking.

Whether it’s a bulky gemstone, raw stone or something completely different. Big bold and bulky pendants are going to be popular pieces this summer. Don’t be afraid to go for something a little bigger and more quirky when it comes to pendants this summer.

Crosses

Crosses are an important symbol for many, but it’s also going to be one of 2017 trends for summer jewellery. From small traditional crucifixes to more ornate pieces. The cross was very popular on the summer runways and I think we’ll be seeing it a lot this summer. Crosses can come in many forms when it comes to jewellery from necklaces and pendants to earrings and chokers. It’s also used in both men and woman’s jewellery as well.

Big, Bold Ear Rings

It’s not just the classic gold hoop earring that is making a comeback this summer! Big, bold earrings are also looking like a big part of this summer’s jewellery. Whatever their style or type as long as they’re big and bold they’ll be a hit.  Especially tassel earrings, in particular, are looking to be very popular. Don’t be afraid of going for something a little bigger and bolder when it comes to your ears this summer.

What are some of the 2017 Summer Jewellery Trends you’re eager to see back?

    I don’t really wear jewellery often. I quite like items that are dainty and delicate, I can’t wear anything too chunky.

    I have never been into chokers-even when they were a fad when I was younger but I do see them being worn more and more so the thinner ones may be ok

    I find I tend to wear little to no jewelry in the summer. Here in Florida, it’s just too hot to have metal against the skin.

    I wish I were more of a jewelry person. I really did not wear it growing up so when I put it on it feels kind of strange. But I do LOVE the look it gives. I do try to wear more of it.

    If there’s one thing I love, it’s playing around with jewelry! I’m all about layering thin necklaces and bracelets this summer and letting the ear party do the talking. Although I also love a statement earring for nights out too.

    Fascinating as I would have guessed that you wear less jewelry during the summer months because you’re likely to get hot & sweaty. I wear dangling earrings throughout the year but over the summer prefer simple balls.
