Friendship Bracelets
Back in the day, showing your BFF some love meant weaving some colorful string together to form a bracelet that would eventually get matted, dirty and disintegrate. As adults, we want jewelry that still celebrates our bond, but just a bit more grown-up. Enter friendship pieces crafted from sturdy rope, sterling silver and more that will last as long as our friendships.

2018 Prediction: Mix-and-Match Earrings
Now that the Fall 2017 jewelry trends have been established, it’s time to jump ahead a bit. Etsy’s resident trend expert expects mismatched earrings to be big in 2018 (there’s been 4,000 searches on Etsy for the term). Don’t be shy — pair a dazzling dangler with a trending hoop or go geometric and balance the scales with opposing shapes on each lobe. Or you can just buy mismatched sets.
