Metal jewelry is a classic go-to for adding a minimalist touch to any outfit. But for those who want to transform their look with subtle details, hammered metal jewelry has become a great alternative jewelry trend to strike a balance between simplicity and intricacy.
The trend has been around for several years, but gained traction in 2021 with features on runway shows for streetwear and high-fashion brands alike.
The main draw of the trend is the texture hammered into metals such as gold, silver, or brass. When done right, this transforms a simple earring, lobe cuff, or hanger into an edgy and unconventional accessory. No additional stones, gems, or glamour needed - just the raw, organic allure of metal that’s been hand-shaped to bring out your own unique style.
Hammered jewelry rejects the polished finery of traditional metal jewelry, conjuring up images of medieval blacksmiths bent over a roaring fire with hammer in one hand and raw metal in the other. The rawness of the texture is embraced, giving each piece of jewelry a bold and textured look and helping to elevate your exceptional attitude in the most unexpected of ways.
