Given how much time we spend focusing on what to wear, it makes sense that we give just as much consideration to the accessories that can really make or break an outfit: jewellery. The right accessories have an undeniable impact on an outfit, and in fact, can often end up being the best way we showcase our personal style. A stacked set of bracelets here, a heavily decorated ear there, or maybe it’s a sentimental piece that has been handed down through generations; we often rely on our jewellery to do the heavy lifting and take our basic uniform (blazers, jumpers, tees and jeans, am I right?) to something with a little more je ne sais quoi.
Given the fact that good jewellery should be considered an investment, it’s well worth taking the time to think about what will best work for your wardrobe, particularly if you’d like to spend a little more on fine jewellery. Whilst we might have fallen victim to a couple of flash-in-the-pan ready-to-wear trends (I’m still yet to wear the extremely shoulder-padded blazer that made sense online), what ends up in your jewellery box should stay for a lifetime, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring.
So, what jewellery pieces will the style-conscious be adding to their collections this year? It’s time to explore the top jewellery trends of 2024.
