Shop the '80s Jewelry Trend With These 8 Pieces
Overstated, bold, and fun, here's a guide on where to shop jewelry that's totally tubular.
The '80s were an era of excess: over-the-top hair and powerful silhouettes everywhere. As this decade is slowly making its way back into current fashion, the '80s jewelry trend has already taken over. Both celebrities and designers have been experimenting with bold statement pieces. From Florence Pugh to Bella Hadid, It girls have been spotted rocking everything from chunky earrings to over-the-top necklaces, daring rings to colorful bracelets.
As so many designers bring more courageous, '80s-inspired jewelry pieces to their collections, it can be overwhelming to decide exactly where to shop this new trend. From Gucci to Alexis Bittar, L'OFFICIEL has curated the ultimate shopping guide on where to find the coolest jewels.
A timeless take on an ‘80s jewelry trend, Jennifer Fisher’s gold-plated cuff is an easy way to elevate any outfit. Though its chunky design recalls an era of overstatements, this gorgeously simple bracelet is hollowed-out to retain a lightweight feel.

This Alexis Bittar hinge bracelet is both chic and funky if you’re looking for something a little less bold. While its effervescent blue-gray color will stand out amongst other bracelets, its dainty size and gold-plated studs make it so easy to wear.

Although Swarovski is known for elegant, crystal-infused jewelry, these green statement earrings are much more gnarly. The sea-colored, octagon-shaped hoop earrings are made from a fully-cut, color-saturated crystal, feeling both structured and playful.
