Similar themes are showing up in the form of glamour, maximalism, and colorful gemstones—designs set to shape the biggest jewelry trends for winter 2024.
Diamonds are in heavy use, showing up in the form of modern pavé and sparkling watch cases.

Timepiece designs continue to cross the lines between watches and jewelry. The designs feel inspired, fresh, and cool-girl coded. Ahead, the top winter jewelry trends to know in 2024 and the pieces to shop.
