Minimalist Jewelry — 21 Trending Pieces to Buy Right Now
If you like subtle jewelry, the minimalist route is the way to go.
Minimalist jewelry ranges from subtle rings and ear rings to subtle linear necklaces. If you are thinking of past seasons, then chances are you are thinking “opulence,” but that fad is slowly but steadily becoming overshadowed by subtle accessories which are daintier.
Some of the minimalist jewelry to look out for this season has got to be the triangular and square necklace and ring designs. That being said, the following are some of the jewelry options that have been designed keeping the minimalist in mind. In addition to these pieces, you will also find the more ornate and architectural designs of necklaces and the use of sentimental pearls rather than the ones that are intentionally designed to grab people’s attention.
1 Be Square
Did you know that it's actually hip to be square? For instance, more and more people are turning toward chic square charms and earrings. Apart from that, square bangle bracelets are also making a comeback this summer, and they will be a good option for those who want to keep it simple and still look stylish at
the same time.
2 Hexagon Necklace
You might already know that the six sided polygon is called a hexagon, but did you know that a hexagon- shaped pendant is called cute?

along with a delicate gold-filled chain which could go nicely with pretty much any outfit.
3 Bold Geometric Earrings
This is a somewhat different approach to the minimalist style. You can use a geometric earring design to bring a bolder edge to your minimalist style this season.

modern at the same time. You can find yourself some simple and yet striking contours online and add them to your jewelry box.

Ending Note
So, there you have it: your best choices while going the minimalist route this season. Besides these, you can always go with the traditional 14 or 18k gold studs which have been worn virtually forever by those who are minimalist, and those who are not like everyone else. The Huggie hoops are also another cute
choice for your ears and are quite beautiful to look at. When going the minimalist route, don’t forget that white gold has a warmer and richer look than bright sterling silver, and it also tends to be responsible for fewer skin allergies than silver. You can also go with the traditional yellow gold option, like just about everyone, but, if you have a warm skin tone, you will definitely look great in it. Other options while going the minimalist route are: platinum, titanium, and rhodium-plated sterling silver options, along with the stainless steel variety of minimalist jewelry, which are all great options when considering the minimalist route.
