Jewellery trends past, present and future

When it comes to jewellery trends, there’s no denying that gemstone, colour and style play a key role – the trick is trying to detect which of these will be popular at any given time.

Thankfully there are companies – often described as “trend experts” – that dedicate much effort and resource into the forecasting of trends expected to influence fashion and jewellery design.  
  
Colour authority Pantone and gemstone manufacturer Swarovski Gems are globally renowned for being at the forefront of such predictions, releasing seasonal reports.

Pantone’s biannual colour reports are launched for autumn and spring, with a variety of hues having taken centre stage in previous seasons.

Similarly, Swarovski Gems produces an annual trend forecast that predicts the gemstone fads – including colours and cuts – expected to inspire designers. The reports provide comprehensive insight into world trends and how to apply these to jewellery styles.

Jeweller has been documenting these trend forecasts for some time and has gathered the articles from the past three years to show how styles have developed. It might even help readers to foretell the next jewellery movement themselves.

Using the past and current reports presented below, why not have a go at forecasting the colour trends of the future?
