Insiders Are Skipping Gold Jewelry and Wearing This Instead

For years now, yellow gold has been winning out as the most
popular metal for jewelry among fashion insiders. Gold
pieces—whether filled or plated, high-end or costume—have been
the fashion set’s unofficial go-to accessories to tie their looks
together. With the unwavering popularity of yellow gold, we’ve
covered everything from the best
colors to wear with gold jewelry to the affordable solid-gold
pieces that somehow all are priced under $300.

Right now, though, I’ve been sensing some
shifts in the jewelry world. Among them, a movement away from
gold in favor of silver. Whether worn in the form of chain-link
bracelets or sculptural rings (as demonstrated by Christie Tyler
above), a pair of modern hoops or a herringbone necklace, silver
jewelry is something you’ll be seeing more and more of this year.
We also spotted in on the runways—notably at Bottega Veneta with
thick chain necklaces—so it is set to be a huge trend in 2020.
And the best news? The metal is priced much lower than gold, so go
on to shop my edit of the best under-$200 silver jewelry pieces
now.
