Dearest reader, the famous Victorian-eraesque show, Bridgerton’s season three just dropped. And that’s given us a lot to lust after in terms of jewellery, heirloom jewellery to be specific. Watching the show made us wonder, what would our heirlooms to the next generations look like? Will our mother’s precious diamond rings and polki jewellery be replaced by something more pared-back? We think so! Heirloom jewellery is generally something timeless and something that can last for generations to come but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Bridgerton bore proof. Studies suggest that millennials & Gen Z seem to prefer jewellery that’s not just for the locker but something they can wear and cherish on the daily. So, we rounded up the most modern iterations of quintessential jewellery pieces of this gen that could easily become instant hits with the younger crowd. Modern heirlooms in other words. Here’s what we have so far….
The Choker Necklace
Chokers are one type of necklace that have always found a special place in jewellery boxes across generations. Whether it’s the royals or renowned actors and fashion icons – choker necklaces are something that have resonated with everyone. And why wouldn’t they? Chokers bring attention to your collarbone, possibly one of the most delicate and sensual parts of your body. They instantly up the sex appeal of any outfit, be it the lehenga or loungewear. Plus they’re easy to layer with necklaces of all lengths. So one way or another it’s a win-win.
The Hoop Earring
If there’s one earring that’s definitive of the millennial and Gen Z generation, it’s the hoop earring. Hoops are to the modern wardrobe what studs were to the ancient ones. Hoop earrings are equal parts cool and classic and worth a mention in the modern heirlooms repertoire. They round off an outfit like no other earring and can be worn for every reason and season. Choose from our bestselling Desire Heart Hoops, Very Varq Hoops, Harmony Huggie Hoops, Rani Pink Hoops and many more in the link below.
The Party Wear Earring
No one knows better than the millennials how to party. So, there’s no doubt in our minds that millennial moms will be passing on their favourite party-wear earrings to their daughters or sons. Whether it’s a statement shoulder-dusting dangler to make the crowd stop and stare or the demure diamante studs for the wallflowers at parties, there’s an heirloom-worthy party starter earring for every personality. We’ve rounded up our top contenders here. Shop away!
The Pearl Necklace
You may associate pearl necklaces with your grandmother but that’s not the case anymore. While a simple string of pearls is elegance in the purest form, there are much cooler ways to wear them now. Take for example, our Amara Dual Necklace which showcases a double gold chain on one half and four strings of pearl on the other with an interlinked pendant. Or our Temple Muse Pearl Necklace that features two layers of gold chain dotted with statement pearls for maximum impact. The point we’re trying to make is that no matter your style aesthetic – minimalist, maximalist and anything in between – we’ve got the best pearls you’ll love to wear and pass on.
The Statement Necklace
There’s something about a statement necklace that just ties the look together. So, we had to include it in this list. Think big and bold neckpieces that get the conversations started and get you noticed. It’s a must-have accessory for every occasion spanning date nights, girls’ nights, weddings, festive celebrations and more. Find your favourites from our curation including medallion necklaces, layered necklaces and mirror chokers.
