De-coding Boho Jewellery this Summer


With essential layering and earthy natural colours, boho style is all about the free spirit, serene mind and individualism in terms of fashion. Maxi peasant dresses, long flowing or tiered skirts, embroidered tunics and kaftans, beaded crochet vests, and fringing on everything with a little bit of ethnic touch. And not just clothing, boho style is all about the accessories to go along with the layers. Embroidered or gypsy styled scarves, fringed handbags, and embellished or decorated flat sandals (or flat ankle boots) and most essentially some vivid bohemian jewellery. Everything layered and colourful enough to give you the magical vibes.


The bohemian style is the most versatile one and is wearable for all seasons. This season, let’s decode some the most loved trends of boho jewellery and how you can rock them with your boho as well as regular outfits. Style your boho-inspired jewellery the right way and dive into the magical world of nature and nomadic journey.


The Fringe Binge

Any boho-chic fashion is incomplete without fringes or tassels. A bit here, a bit there, or a little bit of it everywhere. But for a more symbolic and whimsical look, a boho-inspired fringed necklace does the job pretty well. Fringes complete our bohemian style clothing and serve as the perfect decorative part for the accessories allowing us to add some length to them. A fringed necklace or a pair of tassel earrings can be the ideal match for your casual as well as party outfits depending on the occasion. Fringes generally are made from threads of suede or leather. But when it comes to boho-styled jewellery, they can be hanging silver or golden stripes as well that give the overall piece more dimension and adds extra classy essence to your look.


Layers are Players

Be it a multilayered skirt with volume or a vintage-inspired lace dress; a boho-inspired layered look is both flirty and fierce. However, this typical look is all about the right amount of layers, be it in your clothing or your jewellery. We all love how layers have taken over in terms of jewellery, and we can’t stop adding volumes to things we wear. But here, we are not just talking about those layered gold chains or multilayer chunky necklaces. Layered bracelets or bangles, stacked rings, and multiple earrings are part of this revolution as well. Call it weird accessorizing but layering in the essence of boho-inspired styling is nothing but subtleness with the right amount of volume.


Some Seaside Shine

If you think of petite cowries, delicate cockle shells, mini conch and tulip shells on your jewellery, don’t go just for the seaside adventures. Shell jewellery pieces now are available in all forms for you to rock them on all occasions, be it a formal dinner or just a weekend party. From necklaces to earrings, to bracelets and even on scarves, shells have taken their place on everything you can wear and with the utmost adaptability. They are not anymore those normal ones with natural shapes and colours. You can find them in a vibrant mode of hues with shapes and sizes you have never imagined about. And to add onto this, there are gold and silver shells to complement your neck-pieces, drops, hoops and charms bracelets. The list is long, so go and explore.


The Vintage Gypsy

Drawstring waist dresses, Victorian-inspired sheer shifts, and a loose t-shirt or lace dresses with fancy cuffs and buttons, gypsy fashion is all about the ethnic touch in vintage-inspired styling. This applies to jewellery as well, with pieces that are intricate and highly versatile or come in multiple lengths. Use of gems, beads and coins or medallions are a must. The gypsy version is also about layering and stacking your jewellery pieces with volume. Colourful gemstones make an essential part of their history as they were believed to be the source of power and fortune in various ways by the wanderers. These gemstone silver rings or bracelets make a fantastic combo with your casuals.


Free Spirited Feathers

Bohemian spirit is also about flying free or wandering to the distances where the soul knows no boundaries. Feathers and boho-style is never any unalike. And through the past feathers are becoming part of high fashion and now the trend is more significant than ever. The most loved one by us being the feather earrings trend that made every fashion-monger go crazy for more. With multiple colours and patterns, feathers can make any casual outfit of yours look boho-styled. And what about dinner parties? Feather shaped into metals is the best option to rock any formal or party look. Golden feather earrings will let you steal the limelight for any event you step in.


Wear the Wild

Nature is part of everything we wear. The real sense of boho spirit is to go wild and free with nature-oriented vibes. While most of the boho-inspired clothing represent nature in some way or the other, lot of the jewellery pieces acquire animal design, flowers or plant components as well. Animal jewellery has been coming up as the newest trend in accessories for a few years, and it’s all about your love for wildlife and nature. Large animal-shaped pendants, rings, and earrings in gold, silver or metallic finish, as well as animal prints on jewellery, make it look adorable and wild.


Beads & Gems


None of the styles gets noticed for being versatile if we don’t add some gems or beads to it. Natural colours are an essential part of the boho style, and we just need to add some colourful pieces to achieve the same. As mentioned before, vibrant stones have a strong connection to the bohemian culture and so do the beads. To match your dull whites and beige layers and to lift their spirit a bit high, gems and beads in white or rose gold items work like magic. They add the right amount of cheerfulness in your overall get-up. Earrings, chains, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, and rings; anything with colourful stones or beads can go with your boho-inspired outfit. Just be sure to add some flamboyant and intricate sandals!


So, are you ready to try these boho-inspired jewellery styles and rock this nature-oriented and free-spirited style of the wandering soul!
