Flowers are synonymous with spring, so if you’re being inundated with floral content, well, the season has sprung.
By now, the welcome sight of buds are back on the trees, some (at least in the D.C. area) even fully flowering with pink and white.
For anyone wondering why, year after year, flower styles are marketed to death as spring approaches, it’s because they never get old. We wait all winter for the sight of colorful blooms, and it always feels new, no matter how quickly time passes.
Still, fashion and jewelry buffs do want fresh concepts, ideas, and aesthetics in the season’s new arrivals. And brands never disappoint when it comes to floral jewelry.
This year, maximalism feels more relevant than ever. We want to see brightly hued statement flowers in oversize button-style earrings, large rings, and necklaces loaded with blooms. If a jewel is big and bold, it’s perfect for right now.
