Amondz "Jewelry Trend Report" Preview 2021
How to grab attention with a single item, adding trendiness to an ordinary look.
The athleisure look we wear so often thanks to COVID. Is there a way to wear it with a bit more edge?
"2021 Jewelry Trends" predicted based on Amondz data.
How will jewelry styling change in line with the overall fashion trends of 2021?
There's a saying that jewelry completes an outfit. Just as the taste of a basic dish changes depending on whether you add salt or sugar, the jewelry you wear last can make your look lovely, chic, or even trendy.
The 2021 jewelry trends predicted by Amondz, based on a year of direct communication with users and brands in 2020! Even an ordinary look can be transformed by just one piece of jewelry.
DOUBLE RING
"The fun of mixing and matching, layering"
If there's one thing celebrities like Ryowon and Son Dam-bi, famous for their everyday styling, have in common, it's their knack for layering rings.
From the cool "Hyori-san" whose name alone makes you think of style, to artists emerging as next-generation trendsetters, if you look closely at their everyday looks, which often resemble fashion spreads, you'll find that layered rings always make an appearance.
According to Amondz data, the trend of layering thin rings in the first half of 2020 gradually shifted to bold rings in the second half. And those bold rings are being worn in various ways. People who are good at jewelry styling used to follow the rule of matching gold with gold and silver with silver, but that rule has long been broken. If you freely mix and match silver and gold on one finger, you're already in the trendy styling group without even realizing it. The trends can be found by following the preferences of Amondz users.
While each ring is beautiful on its own, wearing two rings on one finger as if they were a single ring adds a more unique and definite presence. So, for the 2021 S/S season, why not add a definite presence to your styling with double rings? Remember that Amondz, the jewelry selection shop, offers a variety of appealing rings that allow for various mix-and-match combinations, from yellow & white combo colors to polished & matte sets.
Double Ring Type 1. Mix & Match with Combo Colors
Lusey, soft ring: Lusey's soft ring, with a slightly protruding and softly finished design that draws attention, as if it has come undone by chance.
The quality and uniqueness, as expected from a handmade designer brand, are unparalleled. It looks great worn alone with its delightful details, but when worn in a combo, it elevates the styling even further.
Double Ring Type 2. Modern & Masculine
Love of the Bush, no carve dring_ gold. Love of the Bush's modern and sophisticated silver ring with a matte texture that is both modern and masculine. This item can be worn alone or in combination with others. The matte texture gives a warm impression, and wearing double rings in an asymmetrical way can create an even more stylish look. The modern details on the basic design enhance its quality, making it a valuable item that can be used for daily styling as well as formal looks that need careful consideration.
Double Ring Type 3. Classic with a Matte Combination
IOYOO STUDIO, Grandma Ring. The epitome of bold and double rings. This double ring has a substantial feel from its round shape, yet its basic design makes it easy to try on. Reviews say that it's great worn alone, on an adjacent finger, or as a double ring, proving that "simple is the best." While layering rings with different colors might be common, layering rings with different textures is rare, making this ring a great example of the stylishness of a matte combination. It's a basic item that can easily add trendy sensibility to the most basic styling.
Double Ring Type 4. Reversible
"INODULE, sand wavering_silver, gold" Like patterns naturally etched into the sand after waves pass over the sea, INODULE's sand wavering is non-linear but possesses an intriguing regularity. Since it's a set, the biggest advantage is probably that you can create various moods by wearing them side-by-side or rotating them up and down, depending on your mood that day!
Even when matched with various styles showcased at fashion shows in 2021, mix-and-match jewelry styling is the correct answer for 2021. Living a somewhat subdued daily life due to the COVID-19 blues, and awaiting a hopeful tomorrow when we can go out without masks, as can be seen from the diverse collections in fashion shows expressing this atmosphere, comfortable and basic styling is predicted to be mainstream in 2021. So, why not add an edgy point with double rings that incorporate your unique sensibility onto your fingertips?
#POINT LOCK
"The endless transformation of the lock mechanism"
With the rapid rise of mix-and-match styles, the distinction between front and back in jewelry has blurred. No more fiddling with your necklace to turn it around. In fact, many pieces of jewelry are now designed to showcase the clasp as a styling element, and with this, the transformation of the typical toggle clasp as a jewelry fastening device has begun. The 'point lock' style adds convenience with a front clasp, and even adds a stylish mood. From toggle bars to hooks, and even squares. The trend is deepening, and now the design is naturally extending to bracelets and necklaces. At first glance, it might seem a bit unfamiliar, but upon closer inspection, these are incredibly stylish items that we will introduce.
Point Lock Type 1. Connected Two-Line
THRIUM, Connected 2line necklace. A unique necklace with three delicately mixed chains. When worn cleanly with a basic shirt, it creates a cool and chic feeling, and the combination of lightly layered thin chains, as if wearing two necklaces, creates a modern yet stylish mood.
Point Lock Type 2. Point Lock Toggle
Malta, Toggle Bracelet Silver925. Malta's silver toggle bracelet stands out with the sophisticated combo colors of its typical toggle clasp. It's easy to wear and creates a trendy vibe with its toggle clasp, and the combination of gold and yellow colors makes it a fundamental toggle bracelet that solves both practicality and style.
Point Lock Type 3. Round Square
LALASALAMAH, Round Square Necklace. A necklace made of Italian silver chain, as if almonds were connected one by one. LALASALAMAH's name tag and oval-shaped finishing ring are connected like ornaments, giving a sense of security like a pendant. Because it's a basic design, it can be layered with other necklaces or worn alone to make a strong statement. Engraving service available.
Point Lock Type 4. Cream Color Toggle
MIDNIGHT MOMENT, cream ball bracelet. MIDNIGHT MOMENT's cream ball bracelet finished in a clean and warm cream color. The soft cream color, neither too bright nor too dark, combined with the gold toggle bar ornament, adds a luxurious yet feminine mood. This is one of those basic items that would look great with a warm winter knit or a light T-shirt in spring and summer.
At first glance, jewelry with a prominent clasp might seem a bit unfamiliar, but upon closer inspection, jewelry without it might even feel boring. From international celebrities to influencers, and now even the staff sitting next to me, point lock design jewelry is being transformed in various ways, from basic designs to trendy moods. We look forward to its continued evolution in 2021.
#TWIST
"The true delight of styling, twists"
If you're looking for jewelry with a sophisticated yet trendy vibe, the keyword for 2021 is "twist." This isn't just about a pretty and feminine mood; twist, or twisted, designs are about catching the eye and leaving a lasting impression. Rings with coiled designs have become popular, and this trend has expanded to necklaces, with chains becoming increasingly bold. Most designer brands produce these directly by hand, so the chain shapes vary slightly. Some are thin, some are thick, some are smooth, and some are rough. Each chain has its own charm and uniqueness. Just as a person might have a hidden charm of contrast, if you don't want to define your style with a single mood, try falling for the charm of twisted designs that can create two or three moods simultaneously.
Twist type 1. Stylish Atypical
Lusey, Twist knot necklace. This necklace, with its twisted details characteristic of a handmade brand, serves as a great styling point. The silver material and light feel enhance its quality. The casually intricate twisted design is enough to create a stylish mood.
Twist type 2. Denim Key Volume
SISSEA, TWINE RING, a knot-shaped ring where both ends elegantly wrap around each other. The simple ornamentation and volume harmonize to create a clean yet elegant mood. The bottom surface that touches the finger is designed to be round, providing a comfortable fit, making it an item that combines both style and comfort.
What if there was an item that would elevate your styling sense even when worn casually? A single piece of jewelry infused with a wearable twisted shape could be enough to create a trendy mood, even when simply thrown over an athleisure look optimized for the COVID era. In 2021, why not actively incorporate eye-catching, charmingly designed jewelry into your styling?
RETRO STONE
"Newtro-inspired point stones"
The Newtro fashion trend deepens with each passing year, and now its wave has permeated jewelry. The drawers of a grandmother's dressing table, adorned with colorful mother-of-pearl. When you grasp the handle and open it with a "pop," colorful stones that seem to have been placed anywhere have become items that complete styling in 2021. Indeed, trends come full circle. Stones that finish off a neatly fitting ring. In the past, typical and classic stones like rose quartz and turquoise were popular with the public, but recently, under the influence of the Newtro mood, stones like light blue, reminiscent of buttons on a grandmother's sweater, and black onyx, with a strong antique feel like old plastic, have appeared. Best of all, thanks to these small yet sufficiently expressive rings, worries about #OOTD styling are finally over.
Retro Stone Type 1. Gold + Blue Jade
INODULE, potring_blue jade. The brand INODULE expresses a pure and appropriate scent, odorless and scentless. They pursue jewelry that seeks the inherent beauty of the wearer's body odor. The harmony of a moderately bold, smoothly crafted gold-colored ring with a vintage-infused blue-green stone is exquisitely beautiful. INODULE's classic ring chicly reinterprets the retro mood, feeling both unique and familiar. Engraving is also available on the inside of the ring.
Retro Stone Type 2. Colored Stone
SISSEA, Rosoring. SISSEA's "RosoRing" features adorable colored stones that seem to evoke childlike wonder. When first seen, the rough texture might seem like a child's toy, giving it a lovely charm, but upon closer inspection, when worn, you can see the high quality achieved through a special high-end plating technique called "*Gold Vermeil." The ability to choose from various colored stones, and thus to wear a unique charm on your finger unlike any other ring, is truly the appeal of a designer brand's jewelry.
Gold Vermeil: Refers to high-end plating where 10K or more gold is applied to the surface of silver with a thickness of 2.5 microns or more.
Retro Stone Type 3. Real Retro Gemstone
GRANBLUE, petit gemring, a ring that looks like it belongs in a film photograph of your mother from her 20s. From the central retro stone to the intricately crafted details of the ring, and the appropriately sized oval design encompassing the stone, everything about this ring is retro. However, perhaps because of this, it's even more appealing because it certainly exudes a hip vintage mood the moment you put it on. This styling item gained immense popularity on Amondz after being worn by Wiki Miki's Doyeon on Instagram recently.
Retro Stone Type 4. Black & White Onyx
MAHOGANY, Onyx Rectangle Ring. Perhaps because of the clear contrast between black and white, MAHOGANY's Onyx Rectangle Ring emanates not only a retro but also a modern vibe. If you're looking for a trendy item that doesn't feel out of place with any styling this winter, we recommend this ring with its black onyx stone filling the rectangular area atop a simply finished silver ring. Feminine or chic, trendy or lovely, or even both.
Looking at the diverse collections of brands like Christian Dior and Jil Sander, where bold jewelry often appears, the jewelry that naturally comes to mind is the retro stone ring. The retro fashion trend, which subtly crept in, has now permeated every fashion item in 2021, leaving no corner untouched. You never know when another retro boom will arrive, so let's fully enjoy this moment in 2021.
