Jewellery is about more than decoration. For centuries, people have used jewellery to carry sentiment, show appreciation or reflect the natural or cultural world around them. That’s why many of the most popular jewellery designs in Australia pay homage to the beautiful country we call home.
Pieces inspired by our surroundings encourage us to see and celebrate the splendour of Australia and its natural environment. Other jewellery designs are simply ‘having a moment’ in Australia and are ideal for updating your jewellery collection as we travel through 2023.
Whether it’s the material, general style, or specific design that links to the gorgeous warmth of Australia, these 5 top jewellery designs are trending right now – and for good reason.
PEARL JEWELLERY
Pearls have been used in jewellery for millennia, which is precisely why they’re considered timeless. Pearl jewellery will always have a place in every jewellery lover’s collection. In Australia we have a great love of water – the sea and freshwater – and pearls will always be a reminder of this.
The type of pearl jewellery that was in fashion for much of the 20th century often used perfectly round pearls that don’t vary much in colour at all. But more recently, Australian jewellers have been using pearls in more organic shapes and interesting colours.
Organically shaped pearls offer a fresh take on the traditional pearl necklace, made famous by the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Coco Chanel. The unique, soft shapes of natural pearls are elegant and playful. They’ve helped modernise pearl jewellery and carried the timeless trend into the 21st century.
