With the arrival of spring comes new jewelry trends! According to the experts at Joydrop, these are the trends to keep in mind as you shop for your spring jewelry essentials.
Mixed Metals: Staying with either gold or silver has become a rule, but with jewelry, rules are meant to be broken! Go out of your comfort zone when it comes to accessorizing, which our stylists can help with. Start by stacking a silver chain with your everyday gold necklaces, and mix and match from there!
Bright and Bold Colour: While classic pearls and cubic zirconia will always be in style, coloured gemstones and pendants are a great way to add some colour and personality to your jewelry collection.
Sustainable jewelry: As consumers become more conscious about their impact on the environment, sustainable jewelry is becoming more popular. As for the designers Joydrop carries, Pyrrha and Hailey Gerrits are perfect examples of using sustainable materials to create pieces that will last.
What are some cleaning tips for keeping our jewelry shining bright?
Over time, your jewelry can become tarnished, dull and dirty. Here are some cleaning tips to help you keep your pieces shining bright.
Lavish Jewelry Cleaner: Lavish Jewelry Cleaner is an effective and safe way to clean your jewelry. It is specially formulated to remove dirt, grime and tarnish from all types of jewelry, including gold, silver, platinum, diamonds and gemstones. Soak your jewelry in the cleaner for a few minutes, rinse thoroughly with water and then dry with a soft cloth. Lavish Jewelry cleaner is available as a bottle and pen.
Store Your Jewelry Properly: When you're not wearing your jewelry, store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat to prevent tarnishing and discoloration. Additionally, a jewelry box or a soft cloth bag will prevent scratching and damage. Your Joydrop dust bag is the perfect place to store your jewelry!
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals, like bleach or ammonia, to clean your jewelry. These chemicals can damage the metal and the stones, causing them to become discoloured or dull. Instead, use a gentle cleaner, such as Lavish Jewelry Cleaner, that is specifically formulated for jewelry. Always remember to take your jewelry off when washing your hands and applying hand sanitizer.
How can I build a staple jewelry collection?
Building a staple jewelry collection can help you elevate your outfits and express your personality.
Start with the Basics: Start by investing in basic pieces that can be worn with any outfit, including Cz studs or Plain Huggie Earrings, a Paperclip Chain Necklace and a simple ring. These pieces are versatile and can be dressed up or down.
Consider Your Personal Style: When building your collection, consider your personal style. If you prefer a more minimalist look, stick to simple pieces that are understated yet elegant. If you like to make a statement, invest in bold, eye-catching pieces that add personality to your outfits.
Mix and Match: Don't be afraid to mix and match your jewelry pieces. Layer necklaces of different lengths and textures, or stack rings on different fingers for a unique look. Mixing and matching pieces allows you to create a variety of looks with the same pieces.
Add Timeless Pieces: Finally, add some timeless pieces to your collection that never go out of style, like a simple simulated diamond necklace, pearl earrings or a classic gold bracelet. These pieces are timeless and can be worn for any occasion.
