Minimalism and maximalism are two trends on opposite ends of the style spectrum. One embraces simplicity and clean lines; the other, bold colours and prints. Whether you’re feeling minimalist or maximalist, we’re here to share tips and inspiration to create a jewellery look that speaks to your style soul.
What does minimalist style mean?
Minimalist style is all about simplicity. Simple jewellery designs and monochromatic colour schemes are the perfect recipe for a clean, understated look.
To create your minimalist jewellery styling, look for dainty designs that will add subtle shine to your outfit, without stealing the show.
What does maximalist style mean?
The literal opposite of minimalism, maximalist style is about going all out. It’s defined by bold (even clashing) colours and standout prints. The bigger the embellishments, the better! Ignore the fashion rulebook and create unique looks that turn heads. When in doubt, think “more is more”.
How does the maximalist trend translate to jewellery? Look for bold, statement jewellery with a splash of colour.
