We watched Bridgerton series one and two: these are the trends we predict to see from series three as we approach the premiere.

Posted on: 07/05/2024

The Netflix sensation ‘Bridgerton’ has captivated the hearts of viewers all over the world. With #Bridgerton amassing 1.8 million videos on TikTok, fans are recreating their favourite looks from their favourite character.

Whether you’re aspiring to look like Daphne, Kate, Penelope, or Eloise, these are the trends we expect to see as an after-effect of the highly anticipated series three.

If you’re wanting to rock the regal look on a budget, here’s our alternative suggestions for a Bridgerton-inspired accessory, without the royal price tag!

How Bridgerton is inspiring the new 'Regencycore' trend

Based on the United Kingdom’s Regency era prevalent throughout the 1800’s, many have been taking inspiration from this historical period with a contemporary twist, creating what is fondly named ‘Regencycore’.

This style has been on ascending in popularity ever since Bridgerton first debuted back in December 2020, but we think this series will have more people talking than ever.

In Bridgerton, jewellery is a powerful symbol of social status and wealth. The more luxurious and intricate the pieces, the higher the wearer's standing. Beyond decoration, these pieces play a vital role in conveying the characters' wealth and taste.

Expect pearls, and lots of them

Pearls reign supreme when it comes to ‘Regencycore’ jewellery, bringing timeless elegance to any outfit. Adding them to your look is like adding a touch of Bridgerton’s ballroom charm to your style – embracing the elegance and sophistication of the show.  

Pearls represent delicacy and femininity with their typically snow-white glow, embodying elegance in their simplicity. Whether it’s a pair of earrings, bracelets, necklaces, or chokers, they bring subtle elegance to any outfit.

For Bridgerton worthy pearls, we recommend our 9ct White Gold Cultured Freshwater Pearl Necklace.

Drop earrings will be a must have

Back in the Regency era, fashion and jewellery took a turn toward simplicity, opting for modesty, purity, and good taste – a far cry from the flashy Rococo style of earlier times. 

Yet, the high society ladies held onto their cherished family heirlooms, flaunting them proudly at the endless galas, balls, and parties. You wouldn't catch a bare earlobe at these events! Instead, they'd be decked out in elegant drop earrings, often paired with matching necklaces. 

And the Bridgerton cast certainly love their drop earrings too. From Daphne Bridgerton to Lady Danbury, they've been flaunting this Regency-era staple all through series 1 and 2.

Colour is key!

There’s no doubting that jewellery from the Georgian era was vibrant and lively. It featured a plethora of brightly coloured gemstones ranging from sapphires and rubies to emeralds, amethyst, garnets, topaz, and practically any coloured stone you can imagine.  

The series has undeniably flaunted an array of vibrant pieces across the years. In the Bridgerton spin-off series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, characters like Queen Charlotte, Princess Augusta, and Lady Danbury frequently sport statement necklaces adorned with lively gemstones, and intricate gold details. 

The jewellery in Bridgerton contributes to the show's romantic plotlines, while also narrating the characters' journeys. Take Daphne Bridgerton, whose evolving jewellery reflects her transition from Debutante to Duchess.

Though to add a bit of historical context from the Regency era – it would be rare to see young women wearing rings in the Regency era, except for weddings or engagements, as gloves were an essential accessory in social settings!

For a Bridgerton inspired colourful accessory, we recommend our 9ct Gold Ruby And Diamond Cluster Necklace.

Florals are making a comeback

In the Regency era depicted in the show, jewellers found inspiration in nature, particularly flowers – a motif that's all over series 1 and 2 of Bridgerton. From floral dresses to charming headpieces and jewellery filled with blooms, the floral influence is prominent throughout the series.  

Flowers weren't just pretty decorations either, they carried deep meanings of friendship, love, and honour - much like pearls - which often showed off a woman's softer, more modest side. 

As series 3 approaches, we can expect to see more of this trend. Get ready for plenty of stunning floral necklaces and earrings that are sure to captivate once again with their timeless beauty and romantic charm.

For a Bridgerton inspired floral accessory, we recommend our Silver Pink Resin Crystal Flower Stud Earrings.
