Jewelry sets: a trend or a mauvais ton?

Modern fashion, like never before, encourages us to experiment, combine incompatible things, enjoy interesting style solutions, and express ourselves. And jewelry is no exception!

The industry inspires us to think outside the box and show it to others. That's why accent rings and necklaces, unusual cuffs, as well as asymmetrical and layered accessories are trending now. But what about sets? A lot of people think that this is a thing of the past and that wearing jewelry from the same collection together is out of fashion. So, let's find out if it's okay to use such jewelry solutions in your looks today.

Jewelry sets and their types

Let's start with the definition of what can be called a jewelry set or bundle. In fact, everything is as simple as possible. You can call a set a ready-made combination of several pieces of jewelry that you buy at a fixed price, as well as a combination of jewelry of the same style and similar design that you purchase separately (often it is pieces from the same collection of a brand). In other words, in the first case, you buy a set that has already been assembled for you by a designer, and in the second case, you create it by yourself.

About 15-20 years ago, buying jewelry sets was very popular, especially as a gift. They often consisted of 3 or even 4 pieces. For example, it could be a necklace, earrings, a ring, and a bracelet. With such a bundle, everything is very simple, because you don't have to invent anything.

Today, jewelry sets are experiencing a new wave of popularity. However, they have slightly changed and, in a way, “evolved” towards minimalism. Mostly duo sets are now in trend, that is, those consisting of two pieces of jewelry. Sometimes you can also find a combination of three accessories, though this is rather an exception. The main reason for the popularity of such small sets is that they will never overload the outfit, but will successfully complement it. An ideal choice for everyday looks.

For evening or special events, sets of 2 or 3 pieces of jewelry are also suitable. However, for such occasions, it is better to have more eye-catching and massive designs in your jewelry wardrobe. Here, for example, are the sets recently chosen by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and J.Lo for their public appearances:

These days, sets often include quite modern and bold combinations, which makes them trendy. For example, a mono earring and a necklace, a shoulder bracelet and a choker, etc. Here are some examples of such jewelry solutions presented by Gucci and Messika at SS25 Fashion Week.

The slogan of the new sets is unconventionality and creativity. Often it is about asymmetrical or bizarre shapes, textures, and bold colors. Designs should catch the eye and help you express yourself.

So, the answer to the question “To wear or not to wear jewelry in sets?” from celebrity stylists and recognized fashion houses is definitely - to wear!
