During the weeks that comprise fashion month, most people have their eyes firmly fixed on the clothes. And that’s wholly understandable, especially if you’re keeping a tab on the best spring 2024 fashion trends. But, coming from someone who lives by the sartorial rule that accessories make an outfit, you simply cannot overlook the details (a.k.a. the jewelry). Not to worry, I took stock of the best spring 2024 jewelry trends so you don’t have to. The only thing you need to do is choose your favorites.
Fortunately, there’s a ton to choose from. This season was chock-full of investment-worthy classics like bold chain necklaces, diamonds, and pearls. Of course, there is always room for statement-making options, too. Scroll down to see them all below—I promise they’ll each be well worth valuable real estate in your collection.
Pearls of Wisdom
My initial prediction of the great pearl’s return was solely based on my own personal interests—so it was a true delight to see my instincts were pointing me in the right direction. Brands including Theory, Kate Spade, Jonathan Cohen, DSquared2, and Anna Sui all had models sporting the look—many of which took on the form of more traditional styles like classic pearl necklaces or simple stud earrings. They might inspire you to wear your grandmother’s prized pieces or perhaps get some new ones of your own.
Flower Power
Spring is the perfect time to get a little playful with your style, no? And there may be no better way to embrace the warmer months than with jewelry that depicts one of the biggest symbols for new beginnings. Whether it’s in the form of crystals or tulle à la Sandy Liang or the budding necklaces from Carolina Herrera—or even the petal drop earrings at 3.1 Phillip Lim, these are sure to be a welcome addition to your jewelry box.
Chain Reaction
Is it just me, or is big, bold jewelry the theme as of late? Models at Gabriela Hearst and Gucci donned chain necklaces that gave their ensembles the perfect finishing touch without taking away from the rest of the looks. Needless to say, I’m on board.
Bold Bangles
For the past couple of seasons, it’s been all about chunky bracelets. And now, we’re opting for a slightly different take to wear in the spring: bangles. Staying true to the bold aesthetic, wide, cuff-like bracelets appeared at Tom Ford, Alaïa, and Khaite. We also saw variations of the trend at Falguni Shane Peacock. Prepare to put those dainty little chains to the side, these ones are meant to be seen.
Dripping in Diamonds
Okay, let’s be real: This is a jewelry trend that never goes out of style. (I mean, how can one ever say no?!) But if you’re looking for a new way to sport the precious stone, the runways have a few ideas—starting with Altuzarra’s luxurious take, which included glimmering drop earrings. Tiffany & Co. also launched the Tiffany Blue Book x Givenchy collection, which is even more telling of the rise of fine and high jewelry. Whether you opt for natural or lab-grown diamonds, or even a style from an affordable jewelry brand, one thing is for sure: diamonds are always worth the investment.
