Jewelry Trend - Chains

Found at Anthropologie

 Chains have been trendy in jewelry for a couple years now. And, that trend has morphed along the way. It began with nondescript silver chain. After that, chains in mixed metals were popular. Then different shapes of links in chains was trendy. Late last year, the trend turned to tiny tiny chains, and lots of them in one piece. You can still see this at retail.

Now, this spring, the trend in jewelry chains is large. large and chunky. I took these pics today at Macy's. There were a lot more, but you get the idea, right?

If you follow trends, you will find that some of them are predictable. If not predictable, they are easily explained. A lot of times, a trend will swing 180 degrees to the very opposite. I guess we get tired of the trend and want to get as far from it as we can, next.


For instance, turquoise was a trendy color for a couple years. Now, this year, coming off turquoise, the color of the year is tangerine. Those two colors are opposite each other on the color wheel.


And chains.....tiny to huge.


This does not hold true of every trend, because many times trends come out of nowhere. But when a trend has really worked, it tends to undergo change to something new instead of going away completely. 


Keep watch and see. It can help you be a step ahead.
