Jewelry Trends 2023

The most ancient of lustrous white metals, silver, and working women have always had a strong relationship with one another. For starters, silver is more affordable than other precious metals, allowing you more variety and versatility while styling new outfits every day. And then the fact that the metal is chic, elegant, and hassle-free further enhances its desirability. Whether your aesthetic preferences tilt toward traditional or contemporary, the sophisticated yet understated appeal of the metal makes the jewelry piece look fantastic, anyhow.

Having said that, your choice of jewelry for the workplace should be driven by quite a few factors. Your personality and taste are a given, but your office culture and environment also play a big part. If you work in a formal setup, stick to minimal, understated designs that are not ostentatious. But if your work environment is easygoing and casual, you have all reason to wear some funky and bold silver jewelry designs to the workplace. Another important consideration is the industry that you work for and your functional role. Choose your workwear jewelry depending on who and what you cater to in your job role. Silver jewelry is great if you work in a creative division like marketing or for a luxury or lifestyle brand, but it may not be best suited for an IT professional or someone in a front-office or client-facing role. If silver jewelry’s vibe resonates with your work profile, below are our favorite picks of dainty and statement silver jewelry designs that are great to pair with your office wardrobe.

Admittedly, all fashion-forward women appreciate an art-deco-inspired silver jewelry design - there is something cool and chic about it. The good news is you can wear it to work, too, especially if the ring (as above) beautifully combines art and geometry together. Three rows of neatly stacked spheres come to life when bordered by pavé white sapphires. The shank, also made from 925 sterling silver, features an exquisite design. The ring has a strong visual appeal and is versatile enough to be worn alone, without any additional stacking, for impact.

On all those special days at work, when you desire to stand out, dazzle and have all the attention to yourself, pop on this fabulous split bangle with beaded layers juxtaposed together. The lovely muted clasp contrasts against the lustrous spheres to create a modern, enchanting silhouette. We recommend you wear this bracelet with three-fourths or half-sleeved shirts in semi-muted tones, with trousers or a skirt, whichever you like. A pair of silver hoops or studs completes the look perfectly.

Most ring designs are appropriate for the workplace, but vintage rings are especially charming. They lend an air of formal etiquette along with a certain alluring old-world charm that is hard to miss. The design above features columns of pavé white sapphires, layered one after another, framed by a sleek silver setting and a beaded shank. This ring looks beautiful even when paired with the engagement ring or wedding band you may already be wearing.

Here’s a statement-making cuff bracelet for the contemporary millennial or Gen Z woman who isn’t afraid to reclaim her power. Who needs several bangles when you can achieve a stacked and mix-match appearance with just one? Two rows of beaded silver above, and two rows below, flank a thin strip of pavé white sapphires in the center. Bring out those sleeveless blouses to let this bangle sparkle to its fullest.

An important aspect to always consider is that your silver jewelry must always be sparkling and clean. Since silver metal oxidizes and blackens easily, wipe it down regularly with a soft cloth. Tarnished jewelry presents a very tacky visual at the workplace and should best be avoided.

Also, silver by itself is very soft and prone to wear and tear. Typically, 92.5 percent silver mixed with alloys – better known as 925 silver – is ideal for work wear as it tends to be harder and less susceptible to tarnish or breakage.

While wearing silver at the workplace, remember that less is more. Don’t wear more than two pieces, and keep enough space between them. Instead of a ring and a bangle together, for instance, perhaps a ring and a chain or a bangle with a pair of drop earrings would be more suitable. At Gabriel & Co., we offer a collection of silver jewelry for every corporate woman, whatever her role, industry, or office environment.
