The quiet luxury trend is everywhere right now. As far as trends go, it’s one the most classic, versatile, and timeless of them all. But knowing how to use your jewelry to achieve this trend can be a bit more complicated than it seems — sprezzatura is a popular idea in the fashion world, expressing that it takes effort to look effortless. In this article, we’ll go over everything you need to make quiet luxury part of your look this year. Let’s get started!
What is Quiet Luxury?
Quiet luxury can be defined several ways, but it’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like: understated elegance. Think muted tones, elevated basics, and clean, minimalist lines. This trend can apply to all areas of fashion — clothes, accessories, and, our favorite element, jewelry. While the term “luxury” often suggests wealth and great expense, you don’t need to break the bank to nail this trend. In fact, one of the best parts of quiet luxury is its accessibility. You actually need only a few pieces that work with most of your outfits — the key is to invest in high quality pieces that are sustainable, well-made, and versatile.
12 Perfect Quiet Luxury Jewelry Pieces
Creating a collection of pieces that are high quality and timeless can help you to easily achieve the quiet luxury look. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Rings
Adding a simple band or delicate ring studded with diamonds can give you the sophisticated, minimalist look of quiet luxury. Here are three rings that add a touch of sparkle while remaining understated and subtle:
- Heluviee Arched Diamond Ring: With a simple, sweeping arch, this ring comes to a point with two vertical diamonds stacked on top of each other to add a little sparkle to any ensemble.
- Raven Single Baguette: This elegant band is embedded with diamonds and features a glimmering baguette. This ring is great for the pure minimalist look, or you can stack it with other basics to get that layered look.
- Roman Linear Diamond Ring: If you’re looking for something even more subtle, this ring’s diamonds are seamlessly blended into the band for a simple, elegant design.
Bracelets
A slender bracelet is top-tier quiet luxury — you’re not finished getting ready without a signature bracelet to tie together your look. Here are three of our favorites:
- Beatrice Diamond Bangle Bracelet: If you’re looking for a standard gold bangle with a little more shine, this will be your favorite piece. The embedded diamonds take the look up a notch from basic to luxurious.
- Tavi Diamond Tennis Bracelet: Did someone say “tennis”? A tennis bracelet is the ultimate quiet luxury item, with its sleek shape and simple row of diamonds. It’s a delicate and slender piece with enough diamonds to provide just the right level of glam.
- Birthstone Enamel Bracelet: Create a simple stack of minimalist bracelets to make your wrist the focal point of your look. Choose your birthstone (or just the gemstone you like best) to feature in your bracelet, and let it act as a quiet statement of beauty.
Necklaces
The quiet luxury trend overlaps nicely with the layered necklace trend; choose a few simple and versatile necklaces to wear for a pulled together look. Here are a few of our favorites:
- Diamond Station Necklace: This necklace is a little more of a statement than a simple pendant thanks to dangling diamonds spaced a few inches apart. If you’re looking for a necklace that says “glamor,” it’s this one.
- Poppy Round Pendant: This pendant is a lovely way to add a little sparkle to your look without going over the top. Wear it with a t-shirt to really lean into the elevated basics vibe.
- Mini paperclip Chain: Easy, basic, and classic — pair the paperclip chain with any other pendant necklace for an effortless layered effect, or wear it on its own for a more understated look.
Earrings
The final touch to any quiet luxury look is a pair of delicate earrings. Whether you go with one, two, or three pairs, keep it subtle to achieve the understated, elevated aesthetic. Here are three pairs of earrings we swear by:
- Opal Stud Earrings: For a simple pair that’s more interesting than plain gold or diamonds, try these opal studs. They’ll keep your look low-key while providing a little intrigue and a lot of iridescence.
- Enid Diamond Cushion Dangle Earrings: These are the go-to earring you’ll reach for to elevate your everyday fit. Matching the geometric pattern with absolutely dazzling diamonds is quiet luxury in a nutshell.
- Eze Diamond Hoop Earrings: There’s nothing more effortlessly elegant than a pair of diamond hoops. These are simple and stunning — they’ll pull together your look with no effort at all.
