Have you noticed how fashion, jewelry, and design trends evolve over time and then recycle themselves?

 

This year, current runway jewelry trends include interesting, eye-catching pieces whose vintage counterparts trended decades ago and yet are still relevant today - proof that design styles never truly disappear, they simply regenerate.

 

As a testament to the very cyclical nature of change, we will share with you how easy it is to eloquently select antique and vintage pieces to represent 2016 designer trends.

 

Honoring vintage and antique jewelry is a wonderful way to respect the past and its everlasting connection to the future, while creating your own style.

 

Below, we chose six of the latest jewelry trends that made a statement on the runway to view through a vintage lens.

 

1.  Bountiful Brooches

2016 brings the brooch back and allows it to shine. Whether pinned traditionally, or worn in unique ways - adorning the updo, lavished on a lapel - the brooch is elegant with a dash of cool.

 

The brooch collection at Isadoras is vibrant and distinct. We make it easy for you to find a brooch that fits your style.

 

2.  Evocative Earrings

This year, earrings on the runway are all about unique color and shape – any shade, any size. Shoulder-grazing, spidery filigree designs are admired just as much as the more classic, colorful orbs.

  

Our vintage and antique earring collection is phenomenal! From subtle silhouettes, to fun, fantastic shapes – we have the colors and designs that make it hard to decide which pair to wear.

 

3.  Cultured Collarbone Necklaces

The collarbone necklace is an incredible piece of jewelry that can stand on its own, yet packs a punch when paired with a choker or a locket. 2016 collarbone necklaces run the gamut from bold pendants to elegantly pretty.

 

Whether you keep it simple, or love to layer, the collarbone necklace gives you a myriad of opportunities to make your antique jewelry the star.

 

4.  Soothing Silver

Silver is that versatile metal that can play with almost everyone and looks good doing it. And in 2016, its sleekness is celebrated, while gold waits in the wings.

 

Silver is striking when accented with diamonds and gemstones, or simply stunning on its own. Layer textures of various pieces and follow where your imagination takes you.

 

5.  Bold Bracelets & Bangles

Whether worn alone or stacked, the bold bracelet is a 2016 trend that allows you to be conservative, or to go all out to your heart’s content. Either option reflects your artistic license.

 

Bangles and bracelets are beautiful and so much fun to stack for effect, or wear alone for impact. Do not be shy about mixing colors, eras, and textures!

 

6.  Long Necklaces

For 2016, the long necklace is all about the dramatic – more is better.

Layering sets the scene, and creates an eye-catching landscape where no rules apply.

 

Long necklaces are lovely and dramatic. We love to pair them with the unexpected – or simply wear them solo.
