Strange noughties phenomena have been hinting at for a while.

Low-rise jeans, for example, that reveal hip bones and panty cuffs.

Crop tops.

Small Fendi baguette bags.

The overriding trend is called Y2K, short for Year 2000, and the following could also come back with this wave after a two-decade hiatus: white gold, platinum, silver.

The piece of the time was then the heavy link chain with a heart pendant with the inscription "Please Return to Tiffany & Co. New York", including the number 925, which indicated the silver alloy and shaped the clear direction towards white jewelry.

Back then and in the years that followed, many young women absolutely had to have this necklace or bracelet from the series.

The trend series of this time at Tiffany & Co. is the T-line, the yellow gold bracelets have been ubiquitous for a long time.

The ring made of white gold from the series with diamond trimmings, on the other hand, seems old-fashioned and therefore more up-to-date.

Because yellow gold or red gold has been at least as present as silver in the 1990s since the early 1900s.

Even at Tiffany & Co., customers still wear yellow gold these days; many women in their mid-thirties guard a real treasure trove of filigree rings, bracelets and creoles made from this alloy.

It's nice when these pieces stay - and when something new is added every now and then.

For example the ring called "I love" in a limited edition by Wellendorff.

Or tiny earrings and single hoop earrings by Maanesten and Ina Beissner – young brands founded in 2010 and 2011. Ole Lynggaard has also benefited from the yellow gold rush of the past ten years.

This bangle – another noughties theme – is now available in white gold.

Anyone who really knows about it: of course wedding ring specialists like Niessing, who also sold white to him when she decided on yellow.

The Colette bracelet is platinum, and it could coordinate in color with another major jewelry trend of recent years, the princess engagement ring with a large stone and white gold setting.

Many millennial women also wear it on their fingers, despite all the yellow gold.
