Bubble Jewelry: Your Guide
When it comes to accessorizing, jewelry is the icing on the cake. It is the glittering detail that adds a pop of color and personality to your outfit. While classic pieces like diamond studs and gold necklaces are timeless, sometimes it is fun to step outside the box and try something new. Enter bubble jewelry, the whimsical trend that we’re seeing all over social media—and the runways. In this guide, we’ll explore what bubble jewelry is, how to wear it, and the best bubble jewelry I have handpicked just for you.
What is Bubble Jewelry?
Bubble jewelry is a playful and light-hearted take on traditional jewelry. These pieces are characterized by their transparent, glass-like spheres filled with tiny, colorful objects. However, bubble jewelry can also refer to any piece of jewelry that’s shaped or essentially looks like a bubble. Moonstone and opal are two gemstones that are commonly found in bubble jewelry.
From bubble rings to bubble necklaces, you have plenty of choices when it comes to trying the trend.
How to Wear Bubble Jewelry
Bubble jewelry is playful and perfect for anyone looking to put a youthful spin on their daily attire. Here are some tips for wearing bubble jewelry.
Make it the Focal Point
Let your bubble jewelry take center stage by keeping the rest of your outfit simple. A little black dress or a classic white T-shirt and jeans will provide the perfect backdrop for your bubbly accessories. That being said, if you really want to go bold with your look, try pairing your bubbles with puffy and fluffy designs. Most importantly: have fun with it!
Pile it On
Sometimes, it is fun to stack your bubble rings, adding one or two to every finger. You can keep things subtle with just one or two in total, but there really are no rules when it comes to styling bubble jewelry.
Mix and Match
Don’t be afraid to mix bubble jewelry with other pieces in your collection. A single bubble ring can work wonderfully alongside your favorite bracelets or watches. To create balance, try pairing bubble jewelry with delicate pieces like signet rings and dainty necklaces. Experiment with different looks until you find what works best for you.
