Patterns, styles, designs, cultural references, and ground-breaking innovations often drive “trends” in the world of fashion and jewelry. Generally, new jewelry trends become massively popular over a short period of time because they bring something fresh to the table and change the way we, as a society, look at norms and conventions.
However, while the noise around some trends tends to diminish after a certain time, there are other trends that stand the test of time and continue to win hearts over extended periods.
Here’s looking at some really interesting trends that we believe will catch steam and rule the roost in the coming decade.
- The Vintage Empire Strikes Back
Antique jewelry, vintage designs, and art deco pieces have recently made a smashing comeback and the next decade will see this general trend becoming even more popular. As people shift from the era of subtle, minimalistic, and plain jewelry designs, it is time for intricate and detail-oriented jewelry to make noise in the jewelry market.
From exquisite and complex designs to over-the-top bold jewelry, pieces that have a hint of our glorious cultural past will make their way into people’s hearts in the near future.

- Can Rings Be Sustainable for Real?
Finding the perfect engagement ring for women can be tough task for many, especially those who wish for something that is not a run-of-the-mill piece of jewelry. Several jewelry designers and brands have experimented with various types of materials to bring the production costs down, commited themselves to ethical jewelry-making practices, and used alternative stones or metals to work towards creating a truly sustainable piece of jewelry.
In the coming decade, we will see more of these designs and concepts becoming a reality as modern customers seek ethical and sustainable fashion choices.
- Custom Designs Will Be Preferred Over Standard Options
Couples that come to A.JAFFE often insist on getting their jewelry (typically engagement rings or wedding bands) custom-made to their preference. A big reason for this is that it allows them to create something that is completely unique to them, add their own creativity to the designs, and also incorporate special and very personal elements or symbols that reflect their love story. Custom jewelry can also be, in some cases, a more affordable option because you are in control of all of its aspects, including the materials used to make it.
In the near future, we are likely to see more and more customers opting for customized rings as opposed to ready-to-wear ones.
At A.JAFFE, we have always been known for our ability to execute our customers’ vision and turn it into stunning pieces of jewelry that are one of a kind. Our casting, burnishing, and polishing processes, along with stringent quality checks at every step of the process, contribute to making your custom ring truly unique and high-quality.
- Well, Color Me Impressed!
Gone are the days when young brides would take a lot of pride in showing off a huge colorless solitaire. The perception of an “ideal” engagement ring has changed a lot today, and it is down to what truly complements your personality and reflects your style. Today’s customers are not afraid of experimenting with colors. Whether you talk about stones or base metals, we have seen this trend shift in the recent past, where people are open to embracing colored jewelry.
Colored gemstones like rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and the like are expected to become mainstream in the engagement ring space, and pairing them with rose gold, white gold, yellow gold, or platinum will give customers a variety of choices when it comes to mixing and matching stones and metals on their engagement rings.
- Back to the Nature
The future looks beautiful, just like nature! Nature-inspired jewelry designs that incorporate natural elements, shapes, and motifs will become the preferred choice for ring designs, especially for women. Jewelry that features motifs like leaves, water droplets, animals, insects, flowers, etc. has an innate organic and raw quality to it.
The sheer beauty of nature has so much to give that we as jewelry makers have an ocean of inspiration to dive into and translate it all into our unique jewelry designs. At A.JAFFE, some of our engagement ring designs feature nature-inspired motifs, shapes, and materials, giving our creations a distinct and gorgeous identity.
