What jewelry and accessories will we wear this year?

In the famous movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, the first shots are where Hepburn’s character is having breakfast in the window of the jewelry store Tiffany, the heroine is measured by illusionists reflecting the jewelry. Hepburn has a special love story with jewelry.

Another diva – Marilyn Monroe – in the movie “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” sings the song “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”, which, by the way, was parodied by Gosling singing Ken’s song at the last Oscar ceremony. And it’s always about jewelry. They often symbolize love and friendship. How often do we give ourselves jewelry or costume jewelry to please ourselves. And it is undeniable that jewelry is a girl’s best friend, because it not only beautifies everyday life, but also tells a story about the wearer.

As always, the classics are always relevant, however, in order not to get confused by the wide range of offers offered by all kinds of stores, TikTok and other networks, here is a small tip for minimalists, maximalists and all other girls.

It’s easy to switch up jewelry, but many people (myself included) tend to wear the same jewelry every day, and for good reason. You may have a very significant piece of jewelry, such as a family heirloom or an engagement ring, that adds style and personal purpose to your outfit. Or you can use trendy costume jewelry to transform your closet staples and give them new life. Either way, there’s no wrong way to supplement them.

Even if you are obsessed with shopping vintage thrift stores or rummaging through jewelry boxes, I have good news: big gold chains and big earrings are back. Think of your grandmother’s or mother’s jewelry collection. All this can be brought to light and combined with the spirit of today, worn in a thoughtful, modern and chic way.

So the jewelry trends of 2024.

Diamond and glass “Tennis” jewelry

Jewelry of this shape is simply called diamond or polished glass jewelry in Latvian. However, in English they have a name tennis (good to know if you’re looking for inspiration on Pinterest). Tennis necklaces and bracelets have been considered a matter of style and taste for years. But this year, diamond threads are starting to become more casual. They are worn together with oversized jackets, leather trench coats.

Also relevant are tennis earrings, which in different lengths suit any type of face oval and haircut.

Layered necklaces

Whether you’re looking at street style photos of influencers attending this year’s (FW24) fashion shows or pictures from all kinds of ceremonies and At the end on red carpets, it is impossible to ignore the fact that necklaces are layered, or many and different shapes of jewelry are placed next to each other. There are many imaginative ways to combine simple chains and pendants to create an eclectic texture.

Wide chains serve as a great base for additional charms, personalized motifs or unusual gemstones. Don’t be afraid to mix metals, or – the more materials, the merrier.

Black gold and diamonds

Whether it’s the ongoing craze for 90s and 2000s fashion or a pushback against the predictable influx of pastels every spring, pitch black gems will be big in 2024.

Fine jewelers are experimenting with onyx, black enamel and ultra-black metals – rhodium and blackened gold add grit to classic settings. Choose pitch black sapphires, discover the lustrous luster of black jade, and enjoy black gems. Black gold looks good with white gold, which is still on trend this season.

What is black gold?

Black gold is the same as yellow gold, but manufacturers use technology to change the color. In general, you should avoid wearing black gold when styling your hair, applying makeup and lotion, and applying perfume. Chemicals can damage the coating. If you swim or exercise, remove jewelry to prevent chlorine and sweat from damaging the finish.

Conch jewelry

Continuing 2023’s ‘Mermaid Shell’ Moment – A Quirky Scoring of the Year’s Top Movies Little Mermaid and Barbie – beachy, bohemian jewelry is one of the most popular trends of 2024.

Seashell motifs, slipped behind an earlobe or bracelet string, are layered on the wrist. On the other hand, natural shells, pearls, palm leaves and shark teeth motifs will bring coastal design codes to the spring collection.

Seashells will be particularly popular, often chosen for their talismanic symbolism; choose pieces that showcase the iridescent sparkle of abalone, shell and mother-of-pearl.

Metal bracelets or Hero bracelets

A bracelet is a simple yet powerful piece of jewelry. You can take a boring outfit like a sweater and jeans and completely transform it with a bracelet or two. Simply roll the sleeves up and stack them.

This summer, many small hand chains, one on top of the other, will not be relevant. The exception is if it is one and special.

Bejeweled ornaments

This jewelry trend of 2024 has a royal essence. Bejeweled the jewelry is equal parts modern and regal. Whether you’re looking to accent your ensemble or a traditional friendship bracelet, this trend is the epitome of glamour.

This trend is abundantly offered this year Chanel, Versace and Dior. Although I suspect that this kaleidoscope of colored stones and glasses must haveinfluenced by Taylor Swift.

One-time pendant

Sometimes less really is better. In recent years, a lot of emphasis has been placed on jewelry stacking – the more jewelry you put on, the better. But recently, some designers have decided to break through the pile of jewelry and emphasize a one-of-a-kind pendant. Designer brands that generally focus on minimalism brought back the long pendant necklace in their spring/summer 2024 collections.

Geometric metal earrings

Last year Bottega Veneta was literally in everyone’s ears with her big silver and gold earrings. Other designers used the “yes, and?” in their Spring/Summer 2024 collections. approach and extended the large metallic motif.

The silver earrings featured in the Brandon Maxwell and Missoni shows have an almost extraterrestrial look. This is definitely a strong moment rather than a classic item, so it’s best to buy a cheaper version of this trend.
