Exploring Jewelry Trends from the Spring/Summer 2024 Runways

While we’ve anticipated clothing trends from globetrotting adventures, such as LA to Hanoi (Chanel) or a seductive stroll down the Champ-Elysées showcasing Louis Vuitton’s eccentric escapades, Vogue has recently offered initial insights into “The key bag 2024,” destined to become this year’s It-bag. Right now, let’s delve into the “Jewelry Trends from the Spring/Summer 2024 Runways” to enhance your wish list with some noteworthy additions!

Summary:

1. Bold Bracelets
2. Boho
3. Animal Inspirations
4. Circular Jewelry
5. Floral Wings
6. Hair Accessories
7. Chain-Link Jewelry
8. Bold Bracelets The trend of bold and daring bracelets on the Spring/Summer 2024 runways is a standout feature. From Loewe, Tory Burch, Blumarine, Louis Vuitton to Giorgio Armani, numerous fashion houses are ready to showcase them! At Loewe, chunky wrist cuffs in yellow and purple, made from shirt cuffs, combined with leather stitching, complemented the Delphic dresses, reminiscent of Lynda Benglis’s sculptural works. Meanwhile, Tom Ford reflected a minimalist yet alluring ’90s style in the debut collection by Peter’s Hawkings for the brand.
9. Boho Inspired by “lounging under the sun with a body lightly scented of sea salt,” the Boho style seems to recurrently grace the runways in various seasons. Embracing a completely carefree beading approach is suitable for those yearning for freedom over mundane office work that designers aim to convey. From silver beaded chains worn with asymmetric dresses at Burberry to CC-symbol-stacked necklaces at Chanel (perfect to pair with the brand’s flip-flops), or daring shell-shaped necklaces and earrings from Casablanca—these are sure to make you immediately forget about work and opt for a beach trip!
10. Animal Inspirations After strolling around a beach full of Boho styles, how can we overlook the opportunity to admire the vibrant “animal kingdom” vividly portrayed on this season’s runways? While the world seemingly leans towards “minimalism and silence,” why confine details and jewelry to complexity when it comes to enlarged and miniaturized animal motifs, which would typically fall under “maximalism” (currently not highly praised)? Yet, that’s the truth unfolding on the runways, and you won’t be disappointed. From sparkling butterfly-shaped earrings (Blumarine), dragonfly-shaped metal chain necklaces with gemstones and pearls (Erdem) to snake-shaped necklaces with lifelike paint at Y/Project—how the fashion brands “play their cards” has to be acknowledged as truly impressive. Instead of familiar shapes and inspirations, the runways take fashion enthusiasts on a tour of a “Spring Animal Museum,” where they witness lively “animal specimens.”
11. Circular Jewelry Circular jewelry is familiar and a timeless style beloved by the public. This season, leather-covered, gemstone-adorned, pearl-studded, and snug-fitting circular designs are ways you’ll see these types of jewelry on the runways and possibly “appear” in your jewelry box.
12. Floral Wings Don’t mistake these for floral jewelry pieces with inspiration from tiny flowers (though they are beautiful), but designers have raised the bar when it comes to “blooming” on the Spring/Summer 2024 catwalk. Roses are the most prominent pattern, and you won’t find a bigger bloom than Palomo Spain’s statement rose-shaped earrings or Simone Rocha’s flower-covered tops. Elsewhere, we encounter a garden full of inspiration with dangling petal-shaped earrings from Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood and Holzweiler. Finally, make sure not to “overlook” the timeless eternal camellia flower at Chanel.
13. Hair Accessories This time, let hair accessories be the new evening outfit accessories, ready to shine at your upcoming festive event. Just look at Tory Burch’s exquisite spiderweb-designed hairpins with sparkling silver beads, Versace’s classic and feminine bow-shaped hair clips reminiscent of Stepford Wives, or Balenciaga’s hair ties that are not adorned with precious gemstones but a familiar house key. These are enough to make us excited to wear them for the upcoming holiday gatherings.
14. Chain-Link Jewelry Similar to round-shaped earrings, chain-link accessories, and chain-link jewelry are always candidates for a “timeless investment” that won’t go out of style. Embracing this trend, chain-link bracelets appeared in The Attico’s first runway show, transparent thick bracelets at Sacai, delicate choker necklaces by Kiko Kostadinov and Rokh, long gold chain strands at Tom Ford, and the luxurious “reward chain” pirate necklaces at Louis Vuitton. These are suggestions worth trying for your next jewelry purchase.
