I know springtime seems lightyears away given the current low temperatures (and the sheer thought of leaving your house without a North Face jacket probably sends chills down your spine), but the spring is heading our way soon. And with a new season brings a whole crop of new trends to unpack. While there are many exciting trends coming in every category, I'm here today to focus on one particularly pretty one: jewelry.

Back in September, we saw designers across the board send models down the runway in some seriously cool jewelry trends, and the time has finally come to shop them. From Prada's supersize shells to Zimmermann's chunky chains to Celine's long lariats, below I'm highlighting the six prettiest earring, necklace, and bracelet trends to wear this spring.

Whether your style is refined minimalist or whimsical maximalist, one of these trends is sure to pique your interest and put you in the mood for warmer days ahead. 

EARRINGS

Sophisticated Shells

Designers like Prada, Oscar de la Renta, and Marine Serre all sent models down the runway adorned in gorgeous shells hanging from their ears. While this trend was once thought of as for the beach only, it's been refined and elevated to deserve a spot in your everyday wardrobe.

Big, polished shell earrings like the ones shown above are even chic enough for evening wear.

Jason Wu, Erdem, and Tory Burch leaned heavily into the prettiest jewelry trend we've seen the past few seasons: pearls.

The pearl earrings trend is only going to get bigger for spring 2020, with designers mixing different shapes, sizes, and metals to create the most eye-catching pieces.

NECKLACES

Chunky Chains

The chain-necklace trend is about to get supersized. Zimmermann, Brandon Maxwell, and Chanel are all about chunky chains this spring, but you don't have to stick to silver and gold. The prettiest chains will involve enamel and interesting textures.

With this trend, more is more, so go ahead and layer these on with other necklaces of similar colors for a very 2020 look.

Long Lariats

One gorgeous jewelry trend we haven't seen in a while is the lariat necklace, but that's all about to change. Versace, Celine, Isabel Marant, and Pyer Moss are bringing them back in a major way for spring 2020.

Whether you prefer gold, silver, or jeweled, you can't go wrong with a long lariat this season.

BRACELETS

Interesting Orbs

We've seen delicate bracelets stealing all the limelight for quite a few years now, but spring 2020 is all about the orb. Everything from necklaces to earrings to bracelets will feature the strong, spherical shape, but I'm particularly excited to see this on everyone's wrists.

Bold bracelets and cuffs are going to adorn the wrists of fashion people everywhere, thanks to designers like Valentino, Balmain, and Saint Laurent.

Colorful Baubles

Another welcome change for springtime is the colorful bauble trend, leaving stacks of gold or silver jewelry that have dominated for seasons in the dust. Moschino, Ulla Johnson, and Brandon Maxwell are some of the designers championing this change, and we're here for it.

Decorate your wrists (and necks and ears, if you're feeling it) with stacks of rainbow-colored jewels and just wait for the compliments to roll in.
