The time has come for us to put aside our beloved silver jewelry and step out in both antique and shiny, new golden pieces. Despite being stuck inside for the majority of the year, 2020 has been the ultimate comeback for gold jewelry, as homebodies and influencers alike have been flaunting it constantly. Whether you’re scrolling through Instagram, pinning graphics to your Pinterest board, or grabbing a socially-distanced drink at a coffee shop, you’ll notice one thing: gold is everywhere. From Bella Hadid’s statement gold hoops to bedazzled Chanel chains, there are a few basics in each category that are being reinvented in 2020 fashion for the revival your mom has been waiting for.

Layered Gold Chains

First on the list and perhaps most important: necklaces. One of the first things you notice on someone is a personal statement piece, and a gold chain is sure to reflect stunning natural light. With gold chains, the options for styling are endless. You can approach this style with either one heavy gold chain, several thinner ones, or even a long pendant necklace thrown in for contrast; this look is yours to invent. We live by the idea that you can never have too many layers, so get creative with it. Gold chains are also the perfect way to dress up a plain look. For instance, not sure how to vamp up your turtleneck sweater? Simply layer a few chains and you’ve managed to elevate your jewelry game in a split second.

Chunky Hoops

We know you’re dedicated to your small silver hoops at this point, but it’s time to venture beyond your fashion comfort zone. Gold jewelry was once what the majority of women wore, especially hoops. Think: 1980s glamour shot of the biggest hoops in the department store. Although you can never go wrong with the classics, gold hoops have been reinvented with different styles this year that easily diversify the trend. Along with the chunky gold look, there’s been a lot of small, dome-shaped huggies and twisted band styles of hoops. Needless to say, this accessory is a musthave. If a pair of gold hoops can turn a gray sweatpants and cropped-white tee outfit into an effortless fashion statement, you need a pair. Chunky gold hoops have risen to the top and are sticking around.

Statement Rings

Remember pinky rings? Neither do we. However, if you look at any old photographs, you will see that young women once wore rings on every finger, especially in the 1990s grunge days. Today, that look is coming back with a slight refresh. Instead of every finger decked in rings, statement rings are worn to either stand out by themselves, or to be paired with simple pieces that complement their boldness. With a modern twist, gold rings have been revamped with styles like monogrammed initials, glimmering stones in the center, or just a plain face. Paired with your proudlyearned college ring, you can opt for dainty gold bands worn on the knuckles, the latest spin on signet rings with smiley faces, or a wrapped-around golden snake.

Stacked Bangles

The envy over Kylie Jenner’s Cartier bangles is real. If you have to choose between paying for your college tuition or a bracelet, go ahead and pay for college because we’ve got you covered. Stacked bangles are the most versatile and customizable accessories because, like layers, they work best with accent pieces. There’s no need to spend a fortune on a bangle, as there are plenty of dupes on websites like Amazon or Etsy. If you’re looking for something different, try a link bracelet for a more low-key look. Bangles styled with multiple designer brands also look surprisingly chic. A gold Cartier love bangle with an Hermès cuff, finished with a Gucci or Apple watch has luxury written all over it, but remember to pay your tuition first.

As loyal of a friend that silver jewelry is, we are letting gold have its moment. There is no need to spend a fortune on real gold when gold-plated and thrifted jewelry are always perfectly good options. Trends are constantly coming in and out of style, but we have a good feeling that gold is forever.
