As the leaves begin to turn and the air grows crisp, it’s time to elevate your style with jewelry trends that capture the essence of fall fashion. Rich colors, streamlined designs, and a noticeable return to loud luxury are only a few of the early jewelry trends emerging from fashion epicenters such as London, Milan, Paris, and New York.
A blended look of wearability and desirability, nostalgia and innovation, the modern with dynamic; it’s going to be a fashion season and a jewelry season not to miss. Pearls, emeralds, and jewelry that’s EXTRA—here’s everything you need to know about fall and winter fashion trends in 2024.
Poised Prep
The last few years have been marked by a string of lazy fashion trends as we all emerged from hibernation, and clothing needed a post-COVID correction. Every sector of apparel was impacted by easy adaptability for women, including jewelry. Light layered chains, dainty jewelry, minimalism, and a lack of glam had a long multi-year streak. Early jewelry trends are pointing towards the end of effortless fashion, with runways highlighting looks that pull inspiration from more than a few decades back.
The 50s and 60s were a time to dress; this fall, channel your inner ‘Lady who Lunches’ and draw inspiration from period jewelry like pearls to enhance 2024’s overall air of poised prep. From the classic Japanese Akoya to the prized South Sea, Golden South Sea, and Tahitian pearls, there is sure to be a strand for every lady, (lunch not always necessary.)
FALL JEWELRY TREND #1: PEARLS
When choosing the perfect pearl strand that suits your personal style, consider what you’re hoping to get out of your jewelry. A strand of South Sea or Tahitian pearls can easily run tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the quality. The most well-known strand of pearls is the Japanese Akoya, best known as the classic strand.
Freshwater pearls are an excellent option when looking for a piece to play with a little less investment, as they often cost far less than other varieties. If a pearl strand seems too impactful, consider incorporating a simple pearl bracelet or stud earrings into your collection. Pearls are timeless, and a version of a pearl piece belongs in every woman’s jewelry collection.
Welcome to the Jungle
Pantone, the global authority on color for the design industries, recently announced the Autumn/Winter 2024/2025 palette as a blend of nostalgic influences with a fresh vision. A blend of wearability with desirability, sophisticated colors worn with elegance and ease.
“Colors for LFW Autumn/Winter 2024/2025 reimagine a new definition of core color and seasonless shades.”
– Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute
Green is a standout hue and a leading jewelry trend for Fall and Winter 2024. From emerald to olive oil, forest green, jungle green, and mint green, expect to see a variety of shades showing up everywhere! After a long streak of Barbie pink, which last fall segued into red, the cool and refreshing call of green is a welcome change.
FALL JEWELRY TREND #2: GREEN GEMS
While most people think of green gemstones as purely emeralds, there is a whole other world of dazzling green gems to explore. Emeralds are the most recognized, with their value often surpassing diamonds depending on quality and origin. Other green gemstones to consider include Tsavorite garnets, chrome tourmalines, and even green diamonds. Each variety of gemstone has its own grading of quality, wearability, and ideal color hue. Selecting a colored gemstone is perhaps one of the most personal of all jewelry pieces, as color speaks to us each differently.
Sparkle & Shine
Animal prints, bold statements, satin, and metallic; Fall 2024 fashion should come with a blinding and brilliant warning that this season more IS more! Jewelry is so much more fun to wear than kept locked away, wouldn’t you agree? This season, minimalistic tendencies need to be tossed aside, as women and men everywhere layer on the luxe. Yes, you can expect to see the ongoing arrival of men’s fine jewelry continue to make its way onto the scene and the streets.
FALL JEWELRY TREND #3: DIAMOND CHAINS
Precious diamond jewelry, once reserved for formal occasions and labeled as strictly for women, is now carving its way into a fine jewelry mainstay for both genders. Diamond Rivieras (named after the effortless glamour associated with the French Riviera) have experienced a recent rebirth and are now more recognized as simply a wearable ‘diamond chain.’ The fresh approach to the once formally branded Riviera is seeing play at every price point, making it an adaptable jewelry trend for men and women.
Changing up the diamond size and setting style guarantees that there is a version of wearable luxe for nearly everybody. Jewelry is the ultimate finishing accessory for men and women. It’s refreshing to see this Fall and Winter 2024 trend of more is more mentality.
