2024 Jewelry Trends Forecast: What's In and Out

The style landscape of jewelry is constantly evolving with new trends emerging and old favorites making way for fresh, innovative styles at the end of each year. As we navigate the ever-shifting currents of fashion, let's explore the jewelry trends that are gracefully bowing out of the spotlight and the exciting newcomers that are taking center stage in 2024.

Outgoing Trends

Before we get on what pieces of jewelry you should be adding to your jewelry boxes for 2024, you will need to clear some room first!

This does not mean disposing of pieces out of favor, especially if it is fine jewelry. Some will be classic pieces, timeless pieces and others high fashion items but like all things fashion trends and tastes have a habit of coming back around. Just move these pieces to a different jewelry box. 

Here are some of the jewelry choices that are not getting the love they used to in previous years, and that perhaps no longer possess that coveted timeless elegance!

Chunky Hoops

Once a must-have in every jewelry collection, chunky hoops are gradually stepping back to make room for more intricate and diverse earring styles. While simple yellow gold hoops will always have a place in fashion and vintage jewelry, the emphasis is shifting towards unique and personalized ear adornments.

Necklace Layering

The era of piling on multiple layered necklaces is making way for a more refined and minimalist approach. This doesn't mean the end of multi-strand necklaces or layering jewelry pieces altogether, but the trend is evolving towards singular, statement necklaces that capture attention without the need for layering.

Body Chains

The allure of body chains and other sculptural jewelry of previous seasons is fading as jewelry enthusiasts seek subtler ways to accentuate their bodies. The focus is shifting towards pieces that enhance natural beauty rather than overshadowing it.

Charm Bracelets

While sentimental jewelry remains timeless, the classic charm bracelet with gold coin charms is taking a backseat. Consumers are leaning towards more contemporary, personalized jewelry options, such as bespoke pieces that tell a unique story, rather than items that showcase a more generic historical charm.

Incoming Trends

Now that you know what it is out, it's time to learn what is very much on the other end of the style spectrum for 2024! Here are some of the favorite jewelry trends of the year with contemporary fashion appeal. It features various forms of jewelry to ensure that any jewelry lover with any fashion accessory preference is catered for.

Sustainably Created Diamond Jewelry

With an increased focus on ethical and sustainable practices, jewelry lovers are embracing custom diamonds created in laboratories as the idealistic trend for 2024. Lab grown diamonds are equivalent to mined diamonds in every other than their method of formation. They offer the same beauty and brilliance as mined stones but without the environmental and ethical concerns, aligning with the growing consciousness of consumers. Another cultural significance for today's zeitgeist is that lab diamonds are up to 50% cheaper than natural diamonds.
