.LangeAlexandra fell in love with jewelry Instagram “not only for its sparkle, though that’s not bad, but for the stories embedded in the tiny, intricate details of rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces,” she writes.
. Some of it is new, some of it is old. Some of it cost tens of thousands, some of it cost a hundred bucks. But all of it is a feast for the eyes—eyes weary of my home surroundings, but also generally unexcited by the design offerings of pandemic Instagram. In my pre-pandemic life, I and many of my mutual design observers were in constant travel mode, photographing architecture, parks, and interiors. Under quarantine, there were no trips, but also no transformations.
While scrolling through interiors on Instagram can be frustrating—either the picture is too zoomed out to see all of the details, or too zoomed in for it to be more than an attractive still-life—jewelry is perfectly sized for that phone-screen square. You can see the facets, the prongs, the looping monograms, and the depth of color. In Stories, you can see the gems sparkle under the light.
The timelessness of old jewelry’s materials, if not its design, is something Fader also mentioned. “Marie Kondo did a lot for us,” Fader told me, with a laugh. “People were home with their things, and one of the only options for joy during the pandemic was consumerism, which quickly tires. What really sustains us is society, kinship, meaningful connections”—all of which jewelry has traditionally symbolized.
Jewelry has also traditionally been given for major life events—graduations, engagements, weddings, coronations—that often came with a big bash. During the pandemic such events were unwise at best, superspreaders at worst. So how to celebrate? Forin September, 2020, the answer was commissioning two custom pieces, a ring and a bracelet, made by his college friend Ope Omojola of.
One trend that kept coming up, unprompted, as I spoke to jewellers, buyers, and sellers, was the popularity of chains. “Chains, holy cow!” Burns said. “Now that I’ve returned to get more chains, I’m, like, Shit, I charged way too little for my chains at the pop-up.” These aren’t the chunky chains of made men and hip-hop stars, or the almost invisible chains of Tiffany diamonds.
