Fashion month’s international series landed in the U.K. just last week, with London Fashion Week living up to its expectations. Over in Vogue’s jewelry division, our focus was on the oft-overlooked aspects of a fashion show: the ornaments. Much like the attire on London’s catwalk, the jewelry trends we noticed were whimsical, surprising, and reinvented versions of timeless designs we cherish. The large-scale and dazzling jewelry trends of previous seasons have shifted towards a style more practical yet still exclusive in London. Think an everyday-style drop earring here or a distinct yet familiar pearl necklace there. In London, jewelry complemented rather than diverted attention away from the garments.

Inside, we detail the four jewelry trends that caught our eye at London Fashion Week, with pieces available for you to acquire now. —Charlotte Diamond, associate fashion editor The bold earrings that once reigned supreme on the runway have evolved into everyday drops, frequently featuring a textured or adorned aspect. JW Anderson and Nensi Dojaka offered streamlined looks, while the daily earring received a pearl addition at Erdem. The once-static charm bracelets and necklaces of our younger years are now a powerful force in the jewelry universe. You can don a simple bracelet with a sprinkling of charms as seen at Daniel Lee’s debut Burberry show, or if you’re inclined towards the Chopova Lowena charm necklace, go for a robust silver chain adorned with amusing and playful charms. At Vogue, we’ve expressed our admiration for pearl jewelry, and if London Fashion Week is a barometer, the pearl isn’t going anywhere. This season, however, the ever-present pearl was reinvented into lively earrings (Simone Rocha’s version is outstanding), and a modern take on Anne Boleyn’s necklace appeared at Dilara Findikoglu.
