Matching sets are making a major comeback, but the new versions are far from the boxy, identical sets of the past. The latest designs focus on cohesion, not matchy-matchy. The pieces complement each other through shared design elements, not by being identical.
The trends to look for:
Thematic Connection: Instead of the same pattern, the set shares a theme. For example, a pendant featuring a sun motif will be paired with earrings that have tiny star or ray details.
Mixed Metals & Textures: A yellow gold chain might hold a pendant with a rose gold accent, and the earrings will pick up that same mixed-metal detail. Similarly, a hammered texture on the pendant will be echoed in the earrings.
Demi-Fine & Layered: These sets are designed for daily wear. Think delicate, minimalist chains with small, meaningful pendants (like a initial or a zodiac sign) paired with equally subtle studs or small hoops.
This approach allows for much more versatility, as each piece can often stand alone and be mixed with other jewellery.
