Jewelry trends for 2024 

These jewelry trends are coming up throughout the fashion world in 2024. Some are classic jewelry that has transcended generations and will always be sought after.  

Rosettes

Rosettes are a revival of a Y2K trend that’s coming around again. For jewelry, rosettes are floral pieces, often stylized roses with jewel accents. Romantic by nature, this type of jewelry makes for excellent anniversary gifts.

Bows

The ribbon bow motif is all over the runways this year, from stud earrings to statement necklaces. It’s a cutesy trend that is also symbolic of gift-giving.

Black and gold

Black-and-gold color schemes are very popular this year. The contrast effect demands attention and is right on the money for those who want to stand out.

Chunky

From drop earrings to thick cuff bracelets, chunky pieces are in. Especially eye-catching wavy and geometric designs. 

Gemstones 

Most jewelry lovers can agree that gemstones are always on trend. Jewels that grab attention with their vibrant or sophisticated colors are currently top sellers. 

Diamonds

Jewelry with diamonds endures as a gift for nearly any special occasion. Heart charms and pendants embezzled with diamonds are naturally popular presents. Diamond tennis bracelets are another timeless choice.

Pearls

From celebrities to influencers, everyone is wearing pearls these days. Not only do they add a touch of elegance to formal wear, but they also dress up work attire and casual outfits. Necklaces strung with white or colored pearls are on many wish lists this year. 

Seashells

The Mermaidcore movement inspired by the live adaptation of “The Little Mermaid” still rages on. We’re not quite done with its coastal elegance, from necklaces with real seashells to conch-shaped earrings.

Chains 

Whether by itself or adorned with a pendant, you can’t go wrong with a chain. Thin and thick chains are both trending jewelry this year, especially paperclip-style pieces.
