Generation Z include people (mostly kids!) born between the years of 1997 and 2012, which means their current ages are between 12 and 27. The youngest of Gen Z are approaching teenage-hood which means that many millennials, Gen X-ers and Boomers are stumped when it comes to what’s fashionable.
Younger teens are growing their jewellery collection, so it’s important to buy something versatile. But if they have a special occasion coming up, you can get them something really sparkly and they’ll love it.
Most older teenagers in Gen Z like simple jewellery that they can wear every day. The pieces don’t have to be super high quality (it’s at high risk of being lost), but we have plenty of inexpensive stainless steel jewellery which will stand the test of time if she does manage to hang onto it.

Layering Jewellery
It’s very fashionable to layer jewellery. Layering means wearing multiple pieces at once. They might all be super consistent, or they might all be really different (including different metals). You could buy your favourite Gen Z-er a long pendant necklace, which would be the ‘statement’ piece in any layered collection.
