1980s Jewelry Fashion - Wear These Again

In this decade, people were all about expressing their individuality with some stand-out statement pieces. This is a great idea even today! When worn right, jewelry can be inspiring and electrifying. Let us look at some gorgeous 1980s jewelry designs that can be worn today.

Stunning Pearl Necklaces and Earrings

Pearls, beautiful and classic, were used in bold designs during the 1980s. With Princess Diana leading the way, pearl jewelry was and will always be a winner. Large pearl earrings set in bold, metal (gold or silver) frames are a wonderful jewelry fashion accessory. The frames can be simple circles, have a rope-like pattern, or even take a floral shape.

Pearl necklaces - both single-strand and multi-strand - were a staple of 1980s jewelry designs. Today, they can be worn with almost any outfit. Try a pearl choker necklace with a gemstone in the centre to elevate a formal gown. Or wear a longer single-strand white pearl necklace to add some style to a casual outfit.

Statement Rings

Bold and bright rings are a great jewelry fashion accessory. A lovely cocktail ring in gold or silver, with a beautiful gemstone centre is a truly iconic jewelry design. Large floral designs are trendy when it comes to these statement rings.

1980s Jewelry Designs That Can Stay Back

Some jewelry designs from this decade will not be as trendy today as they were then. Let us see some 1980s jewelry designs you should avoid getting today.

Stackable Rings

Rings are great! Stackable rings? Not so much. Wearing multiple rings on one or more fingers is quite excessive. Since the 1980s were all about large designs, stacking multiple big rings can look outrageous. It is probably best to stick to one lovely ring.

Jelly Bracelets

These were a major trend in the 1980s, where people loved to stack a huge number of them on their arms. Some people liked to wear all-black jelly bracelets, some preferred neon colours, and others mixed and matched them all. However, it is best that we leave these in the 1980s and just fondly remember them today.
