As the Beatles would say, it’s been a long, cold lonely winter. But not to worry, because here comes the sun and spring. And with spring, it’s time to refresh your look with a couple of hot new accessories.
The benefit of updating your closet with a few trendy accessories is that you won’t need to splurge on a whole new wardrobe. Instead, you’ll have a few new fun wardrobe staples to mix and match with your existing clothing and create fresh new outfits for spring.
With that in mind, here’s a list of the hottest jewelry trends in 2023 that are sure to put a “spring” in your step.
- Personalized Monogram Necklaces
Monogram necklaces are one of the hottest jewelry trends in 2023. In fact, it’s a trend that’s so consistently been showing up on runways and on celebrities in 2023 and recent years that it has moved from “trend” to classic. The now ubiquitous style has been seen everywhere on runways – such as Louis Vuitton showing off their monogram necklaces branded with the iconic LV initials. Monogram necklaces are also popular as customized accessories with personalized initials, which have been seen on everyone from Miley Cyrus, Sarah Jessica Parker, Taylor Swift, and Kim Kardashian to literal royalty – like Megan, Duchess of Sussex, and her baby Archie’s “A” necklace.
The reason for the enduring popularity of monogrammed necklaces is easy to understand: in a world of off-the-rack, there’s just nothing that says luxury more than a necklace customized to reflect your identity. The great thing about monogrammed necklaces is that they also make fantastic gifts: beyond just treating yourself, an initial necklace also makes for a perfect gift to a partner, your mother, or your best friend.
- Layers and Layers of Pearls
Speaking of classics, pearls are back in a big way this spring. While pearls have always been synonymous with elegance and luxury, designers are reinventing the classic style with oversized iterations that elevate the understated luxury of pearls into statement pieces. Whether it’s Chanel with luxurious layers and layers of pearls that evoke royalty or Givency’s oversized baubles that look more like shimmering bubbles than traditional pearls, this season is all about experimentation with this wardrobe staple. This spring, layer your pearls for an extravagant look, go for a big, single pearl on a ring, or find a thickly threaded bracelet with sparklers on a colorful rope. This season, pearls aren’t a way to just underscore elements of your outfit: they’re the showstoppers.
- Floral Blooms in 3D
Florals are a staple for spring fashion. In 2023 however, florals aren’t just printed on dresses and bags. Instead, flowers are jumping off fabrics as 3D constructions used to adorn handbags, earrings, bracelets, or Carrie Bradshaw-like rosettes. Whether it’s statement earrings like those shown by Carolina Herrera and Chanel or corsages worn around the neck as seen at Madga Butrym, 3D flowers are a fresh trend that truly makes it feel like spring.

Big or small blooms, muted or statement flowers, daisies, lilies, sunflowers, or roses – there are a million ways to experiment with florals this spring. And the best thing about this trend is that there’s an easy way to do it yourself. Even if you can’t find flower-inspired jewelry or handbags showcasing 3D blooms, simply buy yourself a bouquet and tuck a flower behind your ear or weave it into your headband to make it look like you’ve just stepped off a high-fashion runway.
- Flowing Shoulder Length Earrings
Another hot trend ubiquitous this season on runways is long, drop-like earrings that go beyond the traditional chandelier earrings. In fact, we’re now seeing long, sleek earrings that drop all the way to the shoulder! Overlong earrings have been seen this season everywhere, from Chanel to Armando Grillo, and Louis Vuitton to Isidore Montag.
For the ultimate statement look, we’re seeing these sweeping, hyper-feminine earrings being embellished with a range of materials, including pearls, feathers, and jewels. The sleek movement of these earrings has also been an opportunity for designers to show how expertly “articulated” the jewelry is: essentially, a way of showcasing masterful levels of craftsmanship that allow these shoulder-length constructions to move with natural, flowing ease.
