This summer, vibrant jewellery trends are set to transform everyday outfits and special occasions alike, from floral-inspired pieces to bold, colourful statement accessories.

From fishnet dresses to boyfriend blush, the top summer trends are revitalizing our wardrobes and vanities this season. So why neglect our jewellery boxes? Just like standout runway fashion is now appearing on the streets, the 2024 summer jewellery trends promise to bring a fresh reset to our daily uniforms and special occasion ensembles.
From New York to Paris, jewellery has played a pivotal role in countless recent collections. For instance, in February in Manhattan, Tory Burch’s grape cluster earrings were described as a “nod to the concept of making the everyday sublime—even a trip to the grocery store.” This momentum of statement jewellery remained strong throughout Paris Fashion Week. Both emerging designers like Marine Serre and established houses like Saint Laurent presented archetypes of women who embraced jewellery with abandon, asking: Why not? Why not clip a Maltese brooch to the upturned brim of your sun hat, à la Chanel? Or wrap an anklet around your leather boot, as displayed at Burberry?
The abundance of earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets has magnified the transformative power of jewellery in a wardrobe and made the case for enjoying it every day. From mint-green button necklaces perfect for Palm Beach to kitschy novelties that embrace a summer camp spirit, here are the top jewellery trends to enjoy this summer.
FLORAL FEVER
From Virginie Viard, Alexander McQueen to Wes Gordon, designers cultivated their own crops of perennials and posies for Fall/Winter ’24. Chanel’s signature camellias blossomed in pendants, brooches, earrings, and bracelets—everywhere—while Carolina Herrera showcased cascading golden blossom earrings. At Miu Miu, crisp 1960s-inspired peacoats were adorned with jewel-dusted daisies, capturing a midcentury modern spirit similar to this vintage Chaumet set available at the Mahnaz Collection.
Whether you’re enchanted by petals dripping with precious gemstones or charmed by lacquered florets, plenty of flowers are ready for picking this month. Poised for a Rolodex of breezy dresses and pastels, these botanical shapes add a touch of whimsy to summer dressing.

CUFF IT
If the runways are any indication, the cuffing season will take on new meaning come winter. Why search for a new beau when you can wear all the company you need on your wrists? This summer’s arm-baring wardrobe staples leave plenty of real estate to stack cuffs as you please. Take a cue from Saint Laurent and complement a sheer pencil skirt with a translucent stack, or embrace Isabel Marant’s rustic ’80s maximalism with a mix of wooden domed bracelets and braided metal bangles.

DROP EARRINGS
Drop earrings stood out this season, rising to the forefront with shameless exuberance reminiscent of the ’80s. Earrings took on a life of their own in shoulder-grazing lengths and sharp geometric shapes. Designers from Saint Laurent to Giorgio Armani showcased angular drop earrings en masse, using a mix of textures such as Lucite and onyx. In Milan, Jil Sander’s crystal-covered fringe earrings exceeded shoulder length, brushing against the collars of pink and maroon capes. Summer is the perfect time to embrace this trend with an easy updo, allowing your ears to bask in the sun. Swap everyday hoops for a more glamorous alternative like Louis Vuitton’s chandelier stunners or Carven’s earthier stone drops.

SHELLS
Shell jewelry is making a major comeback for the 2024 summer season, offering a fresh and stylish way to embrace the joys of beachside living. This season, designers like Ulla Johnson, Schiaparelli, Roberto Cavalli, are reimagining the classic shell motif with bold new designs and luxurious touches. Large, statement shell necklaces are trending, featuring oversized shells adorned with crystals or gold accents that stand out as the centerpiece of any outfit. For a subtler look, delicate shell earrings are also popular, with dainty studs or minimalist hoops adding a refined, coastal charm.
