The last few years have been filled with chunky gold earrings, necklaces, and rings. But there is a new metal on the horizon that could challenge gold’s dominance. Silver is the hottest trend in jewellery this season, even though it might be second.

The silver jewellery trend for this year combines fashion’s obsession with space-age and futuristic styles, as well as fashion’s current love of the nineties and noughties. Don’t be dainty with micro jewels, and accessorize yourself with chunky silver charms.

Fear not if you are worried that your collection of gold jewelry is out of date. Consider the rise of silver jewellery as a shift to mixed metals and acceptance of edgy styling rather than the minimalist minimalism that has dominated Instagram for so many years.

We have compiled our top picks for silver jewellery to add into your collection.
