The 2010s & Today
J.Crew’s “bubble” bib necklace, already on sale by 2009, helped start a statement-necklace craze that defined the early 2010s. Big, colorful bibs were worn with everything from T-shirts to business suits, carrying on the bold costume jewelry of earlier decades. Today, statement necklaces are coming back again.
People now mix eras freely, a 1950s brooch with a 1970s chain or a ’90s silver cuff with something brand new. Secondhand shopping has gone mainstream. According to ThredUp’s 2026 Resale Report, the U.S. secondhand apparel market grew 13% in 2025 to an estimated $56 billion, with Gen Z and Millennials leading the way.
The stones are changing too. In The Knot’s study of couples married in 2025, 61% chose a lab-grown center stone for their engagement ring, and moissanite has grown in popularity, especially with younger couples.
Choosing vintage means choosing a piece that has already proven it can last, with craftsmanship and design you won’t find on a mass-produced shelf. It also gives a well-made piece another life.
