Collection: 2000s

Costume jewellery in the 2000s reflected the era’s mix of bold statement pieces, nostalgic Y2K aesthetics, and minimalist trends, influenced by pop culture and celebrity fashion.

The early 2000s embraced chunky, playful jewellery, with oversized hoop earrings, charm bracelets, and rhinestone-encrusted accessories dominating trends. The bling culture, popularised by celebrities like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, encouraged flashy, eye-catching designs. Meanwhile, the boho-chic movement, inspired by icons like the Olsen twins and Sienna Miller, introduced layered necklaces, beaded jewellery, and earthy tones. Towards the late 2000s, minimalist and personalised jewellery gained popularity, with delicate chains, initial pendants, and birthstone pieces becoming fashionable.

Jewellery makers experimented with plastic, resin, enamel, and faux gemstones, creating vibrant, youthful designs. Gold and silver-plated metals remained popular, while natural materials like wood, leather, and semi-precious stones were incorporated into bohemian styles. The rise of personalised jewellery saw an increase in engraved pieces, nameplate necklaces, and charm-based accessories.

Renowned designers such as Kenneth Jay Lane, Juicy Couture, and Dior shaped the decade’s jewellery trends. Chanel and Tiffany & Co. continued to produce elegant costume jewellery, adapting to the era’s evolving styles. 

The celebrity effect played a major role in shaping jewellery trends, with pop stars and reality TV personalities influencing mainstream fashion. The rise of social media and fashion blogging helped spread jewellery trends globally, while nostalgia for Y2K aesthetics brought back colourful, kitsch designs. Additionally, the eco-conscious movement towards the late 2000s encouraged sustainable jewellery choices, with recycled materials and ethical sourcing gaining traction.
