10 Top Jewelry Trends 2024: What to Wear and How to Buy

Perhaps the most important jewelry trend of 2024 is the continued demand for jewelry that appeals to the environmentally conscious. In 2024, more and more consumers will seek out fine jewelry that is more environmentally friendly. This means jewelry made from premium recycled materials and through a supply chain that avoids human toll. Lab-grown diamonds are becoming increasingly sought after as jewelry shoppers continue to opt out of supporting the mined diamond industry.

What to Buy:

VRAI fine jewelry is the first fine jewelry brand using Carbon Neutral Certified lab-grown diamonds. The pinnacle of sustainable luxury, VRAI fine jewelry is made from recycled solid gold. Our diamond jewelry features VRAI created diamonds that are grown in the world’s first zero-emission foundry. Each piece of jewelry you buy from VRAI will align with your values and last a lifetime.

The Edwardian era is currently influencing fashion in a big way with intricate floral detailing and nature-inspired shapes taking center stage. Nature-inspired jewelry uses expert craftsmanship to imitate patterns, shapes, and designs naturally found in nature or flowers.

Instead of bold 60s flowers in 2023, 2024 will showcase more subtle, complex floral or petal detailing in rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.

What to Buy:

If you’re looking for an engagement ring, consider VRAI’s collection of Floral Engagement Rings. For a wedding band or a spectacular stacking ring, The Dew Drop Crown Band or The Petal Crown Band spotlight stunning petal detailing. For everyday floral jewelry, the Style Me Pretty Collection has just what you need. Each piece imitates floral shapes through cluster diamonds to update any look.

Statement earrings have been in vogue for years now, particularly bold hoops. Now, dangle and drop earrings are having a moment. These timeless earring styles have always endured, but in 2024, statement dangle earrings are going to be front and center. These diamond-forward designs have an elegance that’s perfect for special occasions, but they can still be worn in everyday settings.

What to Buy:

For unique, diamond-forward tastes, consider diamond drop earrings, like the Del Sol Drop Earring. Designs like the Linked Tennis Earring, or Duo Dangle Earring, offer a slightly more subtle yet contemporary look.

Yellow gold has been trending for years, but 2024 will embrace the “bold gold” opulence of the Art Deco era. Art Deco jewelry features designs inspired by the 1920s and 1930s. Think sleek, clean lines, geometric patterns, and bold accents, patterns, or gold. Prioritize angular diamond shapes set in gold and contrasting designs.

What to Buy:

Pieces that highlight or mix diamond shapes like VRAI’s Mixed Shape Bracelet or Baguette Tennis Bracelet embody the Art Deco era. Yellow gold or rose will particularly pop against the diamonds. Additionally, our innovative and angular VRAI V Collection perfectly represents Art Deco Bold Gold.

Customized, one-of-a-kind products have become the norm and diamond jewelry is no exception in 2024. Retailers like VRAI are now offering truly unique and personalized diamond cuts. Shoppers are seeking bespoke and heirloom diamond pieces, like brooches, hairpins, necklaces, or rings, that you can typically only find second-hand. In 2024, shoppers can now create their own vintage-inspired jewelry featuring custom diamonds.

What to Buy:

All VRAI fine jewelry is made-to-order, but you can also use our custom design process to create your own Solitaire Necklace or Solitaire Studs. For a truly bespoke piece of diamond jewelry, however, choose a Cut for You ™ VRAI created diamond. First, select your specific diamond cut. Then, our master craftsman will cut a rough lab-grown diamond to your exact preferences and set it in your desired jewelry design.

The principles of quiet luxury that exploded in 2023 have shifted the focus from minimalism to timeless functionality. In 2024, we’ll see increasingly versatile, functional jewelry designs with contemporary silhouettes. Expect to see jewelry essentials, like pendants, chain bracelets, and stud earrings, with an updated, unique twist.

What to Buy:

The VRAI V Collection features innovative, daring reimaginations of classic designs, including open-cuff bangles and V-shaped stud earrings. VRAI’S Bezel Essentials personify functionality, versatility, and minimalism. Each jewelry staple is set in a sleek, 14k gold bezel setting. Finally, VRAI’s Solitaire Classics include modern reinterpretations of timeless diamond jewelry essentials.

In 2024, you’ll notice intricate embellishments and patterns that pay homage to the Edwardian and Romantic Periods. Today’s jewelry embellishments have a contemporary twist with details that appear subtle until examined closer. Tiny, thoughtful detailing, texture, or a curved design make a classic piece stand out. White gold or fancy-shaped diamonds will emphasize the femininity of these details.

What to Buy:

Look for designs with pavé set diamonds, like our Pavé studs, or a Halo setting, such as our Halo Pendant. Intricately detailed designs, like the Medallion Necklace, embody this trend. Embellished bands like The Rope Band or cluster rings, also stand out.

Stacking rings have remained in style for years, but in 2024, you’re also going to see multi-row rings. Multi-row rings are one ring containing multiple bands. They imitate ring stacking in one design. Multi-row rings can be sleek and subtle, or bold and chunky - the perfect accessory for adding unique expression.

What to Buy:

VRAI’s multi-row rings include our Multi Row Pavé Ring. Another design that incorporates this trend is our open-cuff Orion Ring. It creates the illusion of two bands stacked on top of each other.

2023’s colorful Barbiecore is expected to continue and the colorblocking from the early 2010s has begun. In 2024, expect to see more jewelry featuring colored diamonds, two-tone or contrasting colors. You can layer or stack pieces with different metals to create color blocking. For a subtle color accent, choose one colored diamond or gem to contrast neutral jewelry tones.

What to Buy:

Consider adding pink diamonds to VRAI jewelry for a bold color accent. VRAI’s Aura Ceramic Solitaire necklace, studs, and rings add a colorful ceramic halo to solitaire diamond designs.

The 90s continue to influence our jewelry choices in 2024. A contemporary take on bangles and chokers will be a mainstay in everyone’s jewelry collection with one primary difference - the materials. In the late 90s and early 2000s, chokers and bangles were primarily made from plastic. In 2024, you’ll see chokers and bangles made from premium, durable materials such as 14k gold. This ensures these designs will last - just like this trend has.

What to Buy:

VRAI’S 14k V Double Row Bangle provides a bold yet timeless take on the bangle. Our Perennial Cuff blends two of 2024’s top jewelry trends: bangles and floral detailing. For an updated take on the 90s choker, consider our Tennis Choker.
