With party season only just getting started, updating your wardrobe can feel like the need of the hour. It’s no secret that accessories can make or break an outfit. Rather than stock up on an entirely new collection of clothes, shoes, and the things that go with—add some statement jewellery pieces to your repertoire and revamp your wardrobe. This is where chunky gold jewellery comes into play. Maximalist accessories are making waves in the fashion landscape, elevating party looks effortlessly. And the best part? We’re spoilt for choice—from necklaces and rings to earrings and bracelets—leaving room to play around and layer these pieces for an endless array of fresh looks.
Bottega Veneta’s signature drop earrings seem to be everywhere, from the covers of fashion magazines to our Instagram feeds—a testimonial to the fact that the chunky gold jewellery trend is here to stay. From thick chains to sizeable arm candy, the trend graces all textures—from ribbed to braided. Statement jewellery pieces like earrings that grazed the shoulders were prominently featured in the collections of Balmain and Alexander McQueen at Paris Fashion Week. Even brands like AZ Factory decided to go all out with their hard-to-miss gold earpieces. Minimalist jewels will always be a chic style, but the runways of Milan showed us that maximalism is all the rage this season. We’re swapping dainty necklaces for chunky chains and eccentric pendants. Etro charmed and delighted with vintage-inspired larger-than-life heart pieces, while Moschino wowed us mega with the chain size.
Going a step beyond the realm of mainstream accessories—chunky collar pieces by Dolce & Gabbana and Bottega Veneta added an edgy and distinctive take on the trend. And who says you can't add a whimsical element to it all? Throw in a pearl or some gemstones to dazzle and break the monotony! Brooches seem to be having a moment, too. The classic style is no longer reserved for the lapels of grandmothers, Simone Rocha and Roksanda proved this with their London showcases. In New York, Tory Burch and Prabal Gurung made a case for gold with their cuffs and earrings stealing the show. Off the runways, fashion it-girls like Hailey Bieber, Priyanka Chopra, and Naomi Campbell seem to be adding over-the-top gold jewellery to their everyday wardrobes.
