Celebrity stylist Petra Flannery emphasizes the importance of wearing jewelry as a key component of any chic look. She believes that having a few staple pieces of jewelry can elevate an outfit and create a sense of effortless style. Flannery is known for dressing A-list celebrities such as Emma Stone, Reese Witherspoon, and Zoe Saldana, and she believes that jewelry can add personality to any outfit through stacking and layering different pieces.
Flannery highlights five key jewelry trends that are currently popular and classic enough to be worn for years to come. These trends can be found in her and her sister Meehan Flannery’s fine jewelry collection for Vrai. While Flannery’s clients often wear high-end jewelry brands like Tiffany & Co., Cartier, and Bulgari, she recommends pieces that are accessible at various price points. These trends include chunky gold jewelry, pearls, dome-shaped pieces, stacking rings, and chokers.
Chunky gold jewelry is a statement trend that can be showcased with a crisp white shirt for a trendy spring look. Pieces like a statement cuff bracelet or bold earrings can add a touch of glamour to any outfit. Pearls are another classic trend that Flannery loves for spring, whether worn as layered necklaces or earrings. Dome-shaped pieces add a cool and artful touch to minimalist outfits, while stacking rings can add edge to any look when paired with a spring bucket bag. Chokers, on the other hand, can bring a sexy element to an open neckline.
For those looking to update their jewelry collection, Flannery recommends specific pieces that embody each of the key trends. Some examples include the Missoma Hera Dome Ridge Statement Cuff Bracelet for chunky gold jewelry, the Melinda Maria Perfect Pearl Ear Cuff for pearls, the Vrai x Petra & Meehan Flannery Dome Studs for dome-shaped pieces, the Kendra Scott Juliette Gold Band Ring for stacking rings, and the 8 Other Reasons Drip Necklace for chokers. These pieces can help elevate any outfit and make a lasting impression.
