These are the jewellery accessories you should be wearing this season.

With trends like fishnet dresses and boyfriend blush hues taking center stage, this summer is all about rejuvenating our wardrobes and vanities. But what about our jewellery collections? Just as daring runway styles are finding their way into everyday street fashion, the 2024 summer jewellery trends are set to refresh both our daily wear and special occasion ensembles.

Jewellery has been a key focus in fashion collections across cities from New York to Paris. For instance, Tory Burch’s grape cluster earrings from February’s Manhattan show were celebrated for transforming everyday moments—like a trip to the grocery store—into something extraordinary. This emphasis on statement pieces continued through Paris Fashion Week, where both rising stars like Marine Serre and legendary brands like Saint Laurent showcased bold and imaginative jewellery. Why not adorn your sun hat with a Maltese brooch, à la Chanel, or wrap an anklet around your leather boots as seen at Burberry?

The wide range of earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets this season underscores how jewellery can completely transform an outfit and highlights the joy of wearing it every day. From mint-green button necklaces ideal for a Palm Beach look to playful accessories that capture a summer camp vibe, here are the standout jewellery trends to embrace 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.
