Based on how quickly the pearl jewelry trend because so huge, I wasn't sure that it would last, but now I'm convinced that it's here to stay. In fact, the interest in pearls has increased even more so recently, given the fact that pearl jewelry is Kamala Harris' signature accessory.

No jewelry trend in recent memory has held on quite as well as chunky gold hoop earrings have. They may not be all that new anymore, but they're as cool as ever.

Just because a jewelry trend is fun and whimsical doesn't mean it has to be short-lived. Rainbow gems have really remained in the jewelry mix, and I especially love them when paired with more simple pieces (i.e. as part of an ear party or ring stack).
