The Four B’s of the Momﯧnt

Natalie Feanny

While thinking on current jewelry trends, coincidentally the ones I no�ced started with a B :)
While the trends of recent years are s�ll going strong such as opaque gemstones, casual emeralds,
and tennis necklaces galore, I would like to highlight some fresh trends that I have been spo�ng.

Bugs

Beetles, Bees and Bu�erflies! My analy�c nature says maybe these
are trending because their body shapes easily accommodate a
variety of gemstones. But I would bet it’s more likely that
jewelry connoisseurs are leaning towards more intricate
designs inspired by nature. A�er stacking all the diamond line
bracelets and necklaces over the past few years, it’s �me for
something a bit more ar�ul.

Bypass

A bypass ring, also called a crossover ring, is a ring where
the band coils around the finger and the ends do not meet
Shy Crea�on
to form a closed circle. The ends of the coiled band then
pass each other on the top. While bypass engagement rings
have been around since the Victorian era, usually cradling an
an�que diamond or two in the center, they have become
increasingly popular as fashion rings. This trend has also
crossed over to bangles which makes an interes�ng addi�on
to any bracelet stack.
