Whenever I travel abroad, I feel like my fashion-editor senses are tingling for the next big trend to hit New York. Last year, I spotted capri pants all around Madrid in the summer, which eventually made their way stateside. Then, while dining in Paris last fall, I saw an abundance of polka-dot dresses and halternecks that would soon dominate New York spring style. Now, I'm pleased to report my latest finding: stone jewelry. Based on the number of fashion people I saw wearing these cool statement necklaces, earrings, and bracelets while on back-to-back summer trips and inundating my social media feed, I have a sneaking feeling that they'll soon be everywhere.
Although I first spotted stone-adjacent jewelry earlier this year with the overwhelming number of baroque and keshi pearl jewelry during New York Fashion Week, the style came to a head in my mind when I saw three different European women wear circular, red carnelian bead necklaces. The style popped up on my feed once again thanks to Copenhagen-based founders and It girls Amalie and Cecilie Moosgaard of Lié Studio. After I saw it on them, I knew I had to buy one myself.
Lié Studio wasn't the only jewelry brand with a range of stone-focused jewelry for the summer, though. Ragbag Studio, another stylish, on-the-rise Danish jewelry brand, has also featured stone jewelry pieces in the past, focusing on pearl and onyx styles. Apart from that, anyone who's anyone will tell you that fashion girls are putting their dollars behind Casa Ayllón, a Australia-based, Buenos Aires inspired jewelry line featuring stone silhouettes on dramatic, corded pendants. And, of course, who can forget the explosion in popularity of Heaven Mayhem's Julia pendant necklace, a notable ode to the iconic Elsa Peretti Bean necklace (that's having its own resurgence now, too.)
As a fashion editor, I always say that two is a coincidence and three is a trend—ergo, my love for the stone jewelry trend was cemented. Below, scroll to see some more stone jewelry inspiration, along with some of the best pieces to snag before summer is over and this trend sells out.
