Boho Betty’s Guide to SS23 Trends!

spring-summer-23-trends

Springtime is officially here.

The days are stretching out, the light feels softer, and there’s that familiar sense of fresh energy in the air. From here on out, we’ve got longer, sunnier, warmer days to look forward to… although, being in the UK, we all know to keep a cardigan (and an umbrella) within arm’s reach just in case.

Whatever the weather decides to do, one thing’s for sure, spring is the perfect moment to refresh your look, and jewellery plays a bigger role than most people realise.

The right accessories can transform an outfit completely. They pull everything together, add personality, and bring that “effortlessly styled” feeling even when you’re wearing your favourite jeans and a simple tee. Jewellery doesn’t shout. It whispers confidence, creativity, and individuality, and that’s exactly what we love here at Boho Betty.

The best part? Jewellery isn’t nearly as trend-driven as clothing. You don’t need to overhaul your entire collection every season. Instead, you can take gentle inspiration from emerging spring and summer jewellery trends and weave them into your everyday style in a way that feels authentic and wearable.

So, let’s dive into the jewellery trends we’re loving this season, and how to wear them in a way that feels timeless, bohemian, and unmistakably you.


A Golden Glow: Why Gold Jewellery Continues to Shine

If there’s one jewellery trend that never truly fades, it’s gold.

Gold jewellery continues to dominate season after season, and spring is when it really comes into its own. Those warm honey tones catch the light beautifully, adding instant glow to sun-kissed skin, floaty fabrics, and relaxed spring outfits.

Gold jewellery has an inherently uplifting quality. It feels optimistic, radiant, and full of warmth, exactly the energy we crave as we move out of winter and into brighter days.

This season, gold chains, gold bracelets, and gold charm necklaces are taking centre stage. Think softly chunky chain bracelets, textured gold pendants, and delicate details that shimmer rather than overpower.

A gold T-bar chain bracelet, for example, is one of those pieces that feels modern yet timeless. Worn alone, it’s chic and minimal. Layered alongside beaded bracelets or gemstone designs, it instantly takes on a more bohemian feel.

Pairing gold metal with colourful gemstones or playful charms adds depth and personality, making gold jewellery feel relaxed rather than formal. It’s perfect for everyday wear, whether you’re heading out for brunch, strolling through a spring market, or packing for a warm-weather getaway.

Gold jewellery also layers beautifully. Mixing chain lengths, stacking bracelets, or combining textures creates that effortlessly styled look Boho Betty is known for, curated, but never overdone.

Don’t Write Off Silver: A Fresh Take on a Timeless Metal

While gold may be stealing much of the spotlight, silver jewellery is very much back in the conversation, and we couldn’t be happier about it.

Silver has always been a classic. It’s cool, versatile, and incredibly wearable, making it ideal for everyday jewellery lovers. This season, we’re seeing a renewed appreciation for silver pieces that feel clean, meaningful, and just a little bit bold.

Sterling silver necklaces with symbolic pendants, compass discs, and celestial motifs are proving especially popular. These designs carry a sense of story and intention, jewellery that feels personal rather than purely decorative.

Silver hoop earrings, huggies, and stud designs are also having a moment. They’re easy to wear, easy to style, and perfect for mixing with other metals if you love a more eclectic look.

And yes, mixing metals is very much encouraged. Gone are the days of choosing strictly gold or silver. Layering silver necklaces with gold chains, or stacking silver and gold bracelets together, creates a modern, effortless aesthetic that feels relaxed and confident.

If you’re someone who’s always gravitated towards silver, now is the perfect time to lean into it. And if you’ve been curious about experimenting with different metals, spring is the ideal season to play.

Pearls, But Make Them Modern

Pearls are no longer reserved for special occasions or traditional jewellery boxes.

Modern pearl jewellery has taken on a whole new life, blending classic elegance with contemporary design. This season, pearls feel fresh, playful, and full of personality, especially when they’re oversized or paired with gold accents.

Statement pearl necklaces, pearl drop earrings, and mixed-material designs are everywhere right now, and for good reason. Pearls add softness and luminosity to any look, making them perfect for spring and summer styling.

What we love most about pearls is their versatility. They can feel romantic and feminine one day, then cool and modern the next, depending on how you style them.

A pearl drop necklace worn with an open neckline feels effortless and elegant, while pearl hoop earrings paired with linen shirts or denim jackets strike the perfect balance between classic and contemporary.

Pearls also work beautifully layered with gold chains or charm necklaces, creating contrast and texture that elevates even the simplest outfit.

If you’ve never considered pearls as everyday jewellery, this is your sign to rethink them.

Flower Power: Floral Jewellery for Spring (Always a Yes)

Florals for spring? Groundbreaking… but still completely irresistible.

Floral jewellery is a recurring theme every time spring comes around, and honestly, we never tire of it. Flowers symbolise growth, renewal, and optimism, everything spring represents, and jewellery is the perfect way to wear that energy every day.

From delicate flower pendants to colourful friendship bracelets with floral details, botanical designs add a playful, feel-good element to your jewellery collection.

Floral jewellery works especially well in spring because it pairs so naturally with lighter fabrics, softer colours, and relaxed silhouettes. It feels joyful without being overpowering, expressive without trying too hard.

A flower pendant necklace layered with a simple chain creates a subtle focal point, while a floral bracelet adds a pop of colour and personality to your wrist stack.

Whether you prefer delicate blooms or bolder, statement designs, floral jewellery brings an instant sense of freshness to your look.

The Art of Layering: Necklaces, Bracelets & Everyday Styling

One of the biggest ongoing jewellery trends, and one that truly stands the test of time, is layering.

Layered necklaces, stacked bracelets, and curated ear looks allow you to personalise your jewellery in a way that feels uniquely yours. There are no strict rules here, just a few guiding principles to help you create balance and flow.

Start with varying lengths when layering necklaces. A shorter chain, a mid-length pendant, and a longer statement piece create depth without tangling or competing.

When it comes to stacking bracelets, mixing textures is key. Combine beaded bracelets with chain designs, gemstones with metal, or colourful friendship styles with minimalist pieces.

Layering isn’t about wearing everything you own at once , it’s about thoughtful combinations that feel intentional yet effortless.

This approach to styling also makes your jewellery collection work harder for you. The same pieces can be worn in countless ways, adapting to different outfits, moods, and occasions.


 

 

Final Thoughts
