2. Minimalist Chains & Clean Lines Returned

A surprising standout from this week’s event was the rise of ultra-refined jewelry: thin chains, delicate drops, and pared-down designs worn with dramatic gowns.
Minimalism is becoming a red-carpet staple because it photographs beautifully and elevates without competing with couture fabrics.
