Jewelry trends are moving well away from rigid gender roles. Millennials, Gen Z, and even some Gen X jewelry buyers often want the freedom to express themselves! Thus, gender-fluid fashion is on the cutting edge of jewelry fashion trends.
In addition, there's a move to make more options available for the 1.2 million Americans who identify as non-binary.
Here are some of the trends that are making the world of jewelry more inclusive.
Sizing
Where once you might have only been able to purchase certain ring styles, for example, in smaller women's sizes, now those sizes are often available in men's ring sizes as well.
Styles for Men
Making a wider variety of men's jewelry available is also part of the trend. Where once men might have been limited to a few fairly simple gold, platinum, or silver bands and perhaps a handful of chains or religious pendants, now it's quite acceptable for them to wear pearl necklaces, lapis bracelets, and creative rings, a pearl necklace, or a delicate diamond chain.
Men can branch out from the single earring look to try on whimsical ear cuffs. The options have never been more wide open.
Minimalist Options
Many women and non-binary people are opting for more minimalist options, or more geometric options that present a cleaner, less feminine cut. There's also a move to play more with texture.
Stackable Jewelry
Thin, stackable rings let people add or remove thickness to their jewelry depending on how they feel on any given day. They also give you a lot of options for toning your jewelry style up or down depending on the occasion.
Looking for great genderless jewelry?
There's nothing inherently gendered about any clothing style or jewelry style. In the 10th century, men wore high heels. Fashion has always been fluid.
