No outfit is ever complete without a little bling and much like fashion, jewellery is very interchangeable. As each year rolls around, it seems as though there is a whole new set of jewellery trends to become acquainted with. Think big, bright and colourful hoop earrings that were all the rage throughout the 1970s disco era or daring choker-style necklaces that were the go-to accessory throughout the 90s grunge era when everyone was listening to Nirvana’s Nevermind with their walkmans on repeat. Each jewellery trend perfectly encapsulates what that period was all about and the styles that reigned supreme.
2024 is no different and with many brands having already debuted their new collections on the runways of New York, Paris and Milan, we are already gaining a pretty good scope of the hot jewellery trends in 2024. So, from precious pearl jewellery to playful enamel, here is our roundup of the top jewellery trends in 2024.
Overview:
- Pearls Galore
- Lots of Colour
- Big & Bold Earrings
- Layering & Stacking
- Eclectic Enamel
- Statement Pendants & Necklaces
Pearls Galore
While pearls have always been seen as a timeless item, particularly due to their association with Hollywood icon Audrey Hepburn and the film Breakfast At Tiffany’s, pearls have come back in a very big way. What was once considered granny jewellery has now become the picture of elegance with fashionistas all across the globe and on Instagram rocking everything from classic pearl necklaces and pearl bracelets to sophisticated pearl earrings. Ideal for all occasions, pearl jewellery is something you can wear with pretty much everything, including the different types of jewellery in your collection. Keep it minimalist by investing in a pair of subtle pearl stud earrings, make a statement with an elegant strand of pearls or layer your look with a few pearl pendants.

Lots of Colour
Fashion is all about expressing yourself and nothing helps you show off your personality more than colour. There is just something about seeing a person decked out in a world of colour that instantly puts a smile on your face. So, it only makes sense that vibrantly coloured accessories and even rainbow jewellery are very high up on people’s lists this year. There are so many ways that you can add some colour to your look with jewellery including coloured diamond jewellery or vibrant zirconia stones, with gemstone jewellery or even with some boldly coloured enamel jewellery. Experiment with colour blocking by rocking a pair of exotic green emerald earrings with an all-black ensemble like Angelina Jolie, colour your world with affordable rainbow crystal jewellery or wear a coloured stretch bracelet that matches the hues in the outfit that you are wearing. You can even add a personal touch to your look by rocking a piece adorned with your birthstone or favourite colour.

Big & Bold Earrings
Handbags may be getting smaller in 2024 thanks to the rise of the micro-purse while our earrings are only getting bigger and bolder. Traditional designs like hoop earrings and drop earrings continue to be a favourite among jewellery lovers but there are also a few more earring styles that you can expect to see a lot of throughout 2024. For one, large chandelier earrings that were popular among stars like JLO and Beyonce are coming back in a big way as is jewellery maximalism. It is a stark contrast to the minimalist approach to jewellery that many people had just a few years ago. So expect to see a lot of grand earring designs during this year, particularly clip-on earrings and oversized stud earrings as well as a lot of other designs that only a few years ago you would have thought would only be suitable for grandma. Not any more though.

Layering & Stacking
Another top trend that continues to rule the roost in 2024 is jewellery layering. For a long time, layering and stacking your jewellery has not only been a great way to elevate your look but is also a great way to change up your outfit if you are tired of the same old accessories. Not to mention, layering is a very versatile jewellery hack with tons of ways that you can style it. Keep it simple by layering and stacking a few gold rings and maybe even a statement diamond dress ring on your fingers or enrichen your look with pendants and other necklaces. If you have multiple earring piercings, embrace an edgier look and sport multiple diamond stud earrings or small huggie earrings at once. Alternatively, rock a myriad of different shaped studs in your ears. So, many have jumped on the layering trend from Rihana and Kim Kardashian to Miley Cyrus to name a few.
Eclectic Enamel

An elegant way to show off your playful side, one trend that is continuously popping up on Instagram and in the pages of numerous fashion magazines is enamel jewellery. Enamel jewellery is a piece of gold or silver jewellery that has a thin layer of powder coating that has been fused to the metal using extremely high temperatures. Enamel jewellery can come in many shapes, colours and motifs. Occasionally featuring gemstones and other types of stones enamel jewellery are very reminiscent of the novelty and costume jewellery that many of us will remember wearing as a child. Because of this, many will wear enamel jewellery to help unleash their fun playful side. From subtle stud earrings and funky coloured hoop earrings to dashing bangles and pendants, there are numerous ways that you can spruce up your look with enamel.
