Amanda’s Style File: Polka Dots
The polka dot pattern transcends time and has re-emerged as a trend in jewelry through round-shaped gemstones.
One of the 14 Amanda’s Style File selects featuring the polka dot trend is State Property’s “Toadstool” pendant in 18-karat yellow gold with jet black enamel and diamonds ($4,980).
There are certain styles that transcend time.
Polka dots are a pattern that evokes a feeling of nostalgia and playfulness. While polka dots are typically a series of dots that are evenly spaced, the idea of patterns featuring round dots in any form pairs beautifully in jewelry.
The fashion trend of polka dots has re-emerged and works best when worn in monochromatic tones.
For jewelry, the look of round diamonds or gemstones sprinkled on white or yellow gold metals looks stunning on earrings, bracelets, rings, and necklaces alike.
Here are 14 pieces of jewelry that evoke the polka dot style in the most gorgeous way.
