accessories fashion gold jewelry goldstories style guide y2k y2k trends
Y2K Fashion Staples
One of the best things about fashion is its ability to turn itself around, bringing old trends back and making them cool again. Case in point: Y2K fashion. As anyone who was around in the era would know, the 90s and early 2000s were a real fashion highlight, with eccentricity at the forefront of most of what was worn. We’re talking bold prints, flared jeans, bangles from your wrist to your elbow, and bold prints. There were jeans worn under dresses, low-rise denim, and who could forget butterflies that adorned everything?! While it is true that if you keep hold of anything for long enough, it will be back on trend, how do you ensure you re-wear it but keep it relevant? You want to make sure it works as a current trend by adding a contemporary touch. Here, we take a look at Y2K fashion staples and how to keep your throwback fashion on trend! The power of accessorizing for the Y2K trend The late nineties and early 2000s offered an unforgettable era of clothes where many of us revealed the freedom to wear pretty much what we wanted. There were fewer restrictions and judgments and as long as it had some bright colors and a bit of glam here and there, you were onto a winner. The Y2K trend has grown and evolved in the past couple of years, while core elements have stayed the same, some have changed. It’s a bit less “in your face” as it once was and you don’t need to be as OTT as your 90s self might have done. And that velour, rhinestone-studded tracksuit? That can stay firmly in the back of your wardrobe. Accessories have always been a big part of the Y2K trend and are a simple way to tap into the aesthetic. Our jewelry pieces are the ideal way to marry together the trend with a contemporary, minimal twist. The Y2K Butterfly trend In the height of the late 90s and early 2000s era, you would be hard pressed to enter a room and not see a butterfly somewhere. Whether it be a butterfly tattoo, belly button charm, or embroidery on a denim jacket, they were everywhere. As the Y2K trend takes off, you might want to add a little butterfly charm to your outfits, but perhaps not in the same way as back then. Instead of rhinestone gems, temporary tattoos, and large embellishments on your clothes, why not tap into the trend with something a little classier? Our butterfly earrings are an effortless way to do this. Made from solid gold metal with a beautiful blue stone embellishment, this fine jewelry piece offers the ideal way to appease your inner 90s chick while looking classy and elegant at the same time. The unforgettable bangles Who could forget one of the backing tracks to the late 90s era, the sound of bangles jangling each and every way you turned? The common consensus was the more bangles, the better – although they were only to be worn on one arm, don’t forget! Gold jewelry such as our bangles are a great way to add a bit of boho Y2K chic to your outfit, but they don’t need to be quite so in your face (or ears) as those in the 90s. Instead, we recommend our Eternity Bangles. Lightweight, minimal, and perfectly constructed, it’s designed to be stacked – just as our early 2000s selves would have done it, but better. This fine jewelry is classy, beautiful, and best when worn in pairs of two. It’s a throwback done right! Big, bold, and floral? – YES PLEASE! Neutrals and greys aren’t really colors in the Y2K vocab. It’s more a case of the bigger and brighter, the better. But don’t worry, you don’t need to deck yourself from head to toe in multi-colored velour or wear a pair of chunky platform shoes in fluorescent pink to fit in. While the Y2K trend of the 2020s is more muted than what would once have been worn, there are even more ways to pay homage to the trend while still encapsulating it into your look. Our Jasmine flower earrings are a fine example. Beautifully bold and bright in color, this gold jewelry is the epitome of the Y2K trend. They make a statement and are perfect for adding a touch of flair and personality to your outfit without going too overboard. The jasmine flower shapes are known for their beauty and also for making an eye-catching statement. Wear them to jazz up a daytime ensemble or complement your evening wear. If you’re longing to travel back in time with classier pieces, Goldstories has just what you’re looking for. Accessories are a vital key to achieving your Y2K fashion lookbook, and these look-a-like gold jewelry pieces can leave you feeling like it’s a 2000s summer all year long while fitting into your elevated aesthetic.

Feel Golden: Our Enchanted Collection is here!
Feel Golden: Our Enchanted Collection is here! Inspired uniquely by the elements of nature and the magnificence of time, this collection is meant to be one that everyone will love. The Enchanted Collection, different from our other collections, was designed by the founder of Goldstories, Subikksha, as a mix of uniqueness and nature, speaking to her creativity and imagination. To personalize and tell the story of The Enchanted Collection, we are taking you on a behind-the-scenes journey of each piece. Get ready to fall in love with this new collection as much as we have. The Butterfly Ring When you think enchanted, the first thing that might come to mind is most likely a butterfly. Butterflies are a sign of beauty and mystery. And because of this, the Butterfly ring was the first piece in this quirky yet beautiful collection. Legends have told us the butterfly is a symbol of good luck in many cultures; therefore, we've made this piece one that is a staple to our Enchanted Collection. Offering personalization with the center gem and designed with cuts throughout the butterfly's wings, this ring perfectly accents your skin tone and is a perfect addition to your gold jewelry collection. The Leaf Bracelet & Earrings Most people don't think of leaves when thinking of enchanted. Leaves are often overlooked because flowers take precedent. However, many beautiful art pieces are inspired by leaves. Our Leaf Bracelet and Earrings come from a family love of poison ivy, leaves, flowers, and creating a garden. Their beauty and elegance make them a sight to behold, and that is why they made their way into our nature-inspired Enchanted Collection. The inspiration behind our Leaf Bracelet and Earrings is poison ivy and green leaf creepers because they are something that our designer, Subikksha, and her family have cherished throughout their lives. These golden leaf pieces are stunning and can feature malachite to tie in the green you would expect to see on the leaves that inspired these pieces. Jasmine Flower Necklace, Studs, & Earrings Our designer grew up with jasmine flowers, and she holds them near and dear to her heart. They were a traditional part of her upbringing. Thus, the inspiration behind the three jasmine pieces in our Enchanted Collection. She loves everything about jasmine, from its captivating smell to its beauty. When you think of an enchanted forest, the aroma that comes to mind is likely that of a jasmine flower because they have a strong smell that encompasses their magnificence. Jasmine's are very popular in India and are used for many different things, from being given to you when you visit a temple for prayer to being crafted into hairpieces. These pieces are customizable and can feature different stones in the center of the jasmine flower. They were designed for the Enchanted Collection because of the story of our designer, and we hope that they can become a beautiful part of your story as well. Heart Pendant The Heart Pendant is a small piece inspired by many cultures that use the heart as a symbol of love. Many heart pendants have either one stone or are engraved. The Heart Pendant in the Goldstories Enchanted Collection, however, has a two-toned center to bring uniqueness to the piece. The center of the piece is customizable with a different combination of gemstones, so you can truly create a piece you love. Locket The idea of enchanted intertwines with thoughts of vintage and antique. If you think of a fairytale, there is usually a piece of memorabilia. Our Locket, inspired by Snow White and the stories told growing up, became part of the Enchanted Collection. This piece can hold up to two pictures and is very vintage and simple. The Locket is the piece that completed the fairytale aspect of the Enchanted Collection. Like all the other pieces in the collection, the locket can be personalized with engraving or left as is to match your style. So whether you want to engrave to make this piece uniquely your own, or you are looking for more of a Bridgerton look, you can't go wrong with this piece.Each piece has its own story and reason for being part of the brand new Enchanted Collection.We hope you love each piece, and the purpose and meaning can translate to something beautiful in your life.
