When it comes to building yourself a fine jewelry trousseau, carefully selecting different types of jewelry, staying true to your own style, and being fashion-forward isn’t easy. Striking a fine balance between the elements of design, style and aesthetics, and the appropriate use of diamonds and colored gemstones is a work of art in itself.
A fine jewelry trousseau should be versatile and classic with diverse jewelry types and pieces that can then be styled with varied wardrobes across occasions. Keeping up with the jewelry trends help in making the right decisions and selecting or customizing jewelry that suits one’s style and personality. Here, we’ll give your a peek into the jewelry trends of 2019.
A comprehensive jewelry collection can add character and originality to a woman’s wardrobe. Whether you’re selecting a piece of jewelry for a formal, casual or a grand occasion, knowing what is available out there (and on our website), and what suits your style is essential.
1. Anklets
The anklet trend has been here since long and will be evergreen. You can go for either delicate anklets that sits right above your feet, adding a unique feminine charm to your overall appearance, or you can invest in statement ankle jewelry and you won’t ever regret it.
If you’re wondering how to tie an ankle bracelet, have no worries – it comes with a strong clasping mechanism that allows it to sit pretty on your ankles and doesn’t let it open up or fall off.
2. Waist Belt
A waist chain or kamarband, allows you to accentuate your waistline when styling a range of outfits like a saree, a lehenga or even a crop top with a skirt. Waist chain jewelry adds a certain degree of oomph to an outfit. Having one in your jewelry box makes perfect sense because the belly chain trend is all set to rock 2019.
3. Bracelets
While the good old bracelet has been maintaining a low profile in the jewelry world for a while now, it is ready to come back to the game with statement pieces, stacks of bracelets, and charm bracelets being some popular styles. There are two main types of bracelets: the delicate ones and the thick ones (kadas). Add a range of elegant and statement bracelet styles in your trousseau and accessorize with ease. The best thing about the bracelet trend is that you can style them with a varied range of outfits.
4. Brooches

The brooch trend is gaining back its popularity. Go eccentric with a statement brooch styled with a saree or a power suit. Fashion brooches and pins are as versatile as they can get. You can easily team them up with any piece of clothing from your wardrobe and make a statement.
5. Rings
The ring trend never really goes out of fashion, but is gearing up to pick up more steam in 2019, with the increasing popularity of cocktail rings and stackable rings. We can already see women sporting multiple rings on their fingers, i.e. they’re stacking up different styles of rings on top of each other on the same finger, which we refer to as stackables. Rings hold a special significance, when it comes to engagements and weddings, where couples scour through hundreds of different wedding rings types before picking one as a mark of their love.
6. Pendants
The pendant trend will bring a mix of statement pieces and delicate spiritually-significant pieces. The usual types of pendants include amulets, talismans, lockets, medallions, and of late, charms. Pendants also make great gifts for women of all ages if you pick the right pendant style.
7. Earrings
Earrings are an accessory that one can never have enough of. Earring trends for 2019 will include bold, structured, geometric designs. Traditional gold earrings are expected to be seen again in revisited styles. Hoops and studs are evergreen and popular earring types. Other earring styles that will make their presence felt in this year include statement chandelier earrings, threaders, and earcuffs. Be wise and choose the right earrings that speak to you!
8. Armlets
An armlet is an eye-catching piece of jewelry that can be styled with new age drapes of saris or classy ethnic cocktail outfits. One can style them up and make a statement at a wedding. You just need to pick the right one! Let’s bring the armlet trend back!
9. Necklaces
Wearing a beautiful fashion jewelry necklace is a great way to amp up your look. The necklace style you pick should complement your neckline, and then you can style it with a range of outfits. If you’re wearing a sweetheart neckline, you may want to wear a necklace type that’s flexible, spread-out, and sits just below your throat On the other hand, when wearing a high-neckline, you can either wear a long pendant necklace, a multi-strand neckpiece, or skip it completely. A necklace trend that is still settling in and is expected to go big is the long pendant necklace with tassels.
10. Chokers
A choker necklace sits pretty and snugly around the neck. It’s not supposed to be uncomfortably tight though, and comes with a mechanism to reduce and increase its size according to your requirements. The choker trend is hot right now and is expected to rule all through for a while.. If you’re wondering as to how to wear a choker, consider styling it with varied necklines and figure what works best for you! The best part of having one of each type of neckpiece is that you can then go on and pair them up if you want to add more to a monotone look that you are planning for a wedding!
11. Bangles
Bangles may be a traditional piece of Indian jewelry, but this does not mean they have lost their appeal among modern women. In fact, women’s bangles, which are customarily round in shape, can be found in various shapes like square, hexagon and oval now. Bangle bracelets were typically made from gold in the old days; but in the recent past, they have been influenced by Western design houses like Cartier. As a result, contemporary bangles are slowly surfacing in India as well. Essentially made in gold or platinum, diamond encrusted and even colored bangles can add a little bling to your casual outfits.
Now that you know which jewelry pieces are going to be trending this year, let’s take a look at a few styles in each of these categories that are going to take the fashion world by storm as well. Let’s dive in.
1. Anklet Trends
Over the last few years, models on most runways have been sporting anklets or ankle bracelets in various designs and interesting styles that have modernized with time. A couple of years ago, brands like Chloe and Marc Jacobs showcased their own interpretation of anklet jewelry. The former came up with tiny golden anklets to go with shimmery flip-flops for a day at the beach, while the latter displayed chic two-layered anklets to be worn with black pumps.
In 2017, renowned Italian designer Gilda Ambrosio stepped out wearing stacked anklets at her fall fashion shows, and continued to don them in her summer vacation. That’s just how versatile anklet styles can be. They can be made from different materials such as gold, silver, leather, beads, shells, and so on.
Anklets are historical pieces of jewelry, with a past worth looking into. The West adopted anklets only in the 20th century, but the East has been wearing them even before that.
Today, anklets are worn everywhere. Exquisite statement silver anklets are a major part of Indian bridal ensembles along with lots of other beautiful jewelry.
If you’re wondering what types of ankle bracelets you should buy in 2019, here are some of the anklet trends that you can follow:

2. Waist Chain Trends
Few would disagree if we said that waist chains make for cool and exciting body jewelry to wear around the waist. It adorns it just the way an anklet adorns the foot or a necklace adorns the neck.
We’ve seen them adorning and emphasizing the waistlines of belly dancers, but those chains tend to be more intricate in design and feature several tiny disks and coins that jingle with the music. Modern belly waist chain styles are aplenty and women wear them to tastefully highlight their midriff.
Belly chains come in standard sizes, but you can get them in any size. Just remember one rule – waist chains look best when they sit right above your hip bone. They shouldn’t fit you tightly or loosely. You should be able to fit your finger between the chain and your tummy.
Mentioned ahead are a few belly chain trends to watch out for in 2019.

The word bracelet comes from the Greek word “brachile,” which means “of the arm.” While armlets are worn on the upper arm, bracelets are worn on the wrist. They are made of different materials such as metals, beads, cloth, leather, silicone, and so on. They’re adorned with diamonds, pearls, semi-precious and precious stones, crystals, and more.
