Jewelry trends over the last several seasons have run the gamut in terms of aesthetic. There's been everything from mix-and-match earrings to puka shell necklaces to baroque pearl everything. Suffice it to say, it's a good time to be alive if you're an accessories lover. However, if you're in need of a palette cleanser for 2019, look no further than a piece of minimalist jewelry from any number of up-and-coming brands. These architecturally inclined baubles all provide an elevated versatility that not only polish off an outfit but also stand the test of time. Whether it's a classic pair of gold hoops, a pearl-encrusted dainty ring, or a pendant necklace, a minimal piece of jewelry is, simply put, always a good idea.
So, where can you find the best minimalist pieces right now? Turns out, pretty much everywhere. Designers that span continents (and price points) are all turning to cool, clean offerings that are sure to fit in with your existing wardrobe seamlessly. Part of the appeal of simple baubles is the fact that you can wear them all on their own, or layer them on for a more impactful look — whatever suits your signature style.
