Pearls of Wisdom

Theory spring/summer 2024.

My initial prediction of the great pearl’s return was solely based on my own personal interests—so it was a true delight to see my instincts were pointing me in the right direction. Brands including Theory, Kate Spade, Jonathan Cohen, DSquared2, and Anna Sui all had models sporting the look—many of which took on the form of more traditional styles, like classic pearl necklaces or simple stud earrings. They might inspire you to wear your grandmother’s prized pieces or perhaps get some new ones of your own.

Flower Power

Carolina Herrera spring/summer 2024.

Spring is the perfect time to get a little playful with your style. And there may be no better way to embrace the warmer months than with jewelry that depicts one of the biggest symbols for new beginnings. Whether it’s in the form of crystals or tulle à la Sandy Liang or the budding necklaces from Carolina Herrera—or even the petal drop earrings at 3.1 Phillip Lim, these are sure to be a welcome addition to your jewelry box.

Chain Reaction

Gabriela Hearst spring/summer 2024.

Is it just me, or is big, bold jewelry suddenly everywhere? Models at Gabriela Hearst and Gucci donned chain necklaces that gave their ensembles the perfect finishing touch without taking away from the rest of the looks. Needless to say, I’m on board.

Bold Bangles

Khaite spring/summer 2024

For the past couple of seasons, it’s been all about chunky bracelets. And now, we’re opting for a slightly different take to wear in the spring: bangles. Staying true to the bold aesthetic, wide, cuff-like bracelets appeared at Tom Ford, Alaïa, and Khaite. We also saw variations of the trend at Falguni Shane Peacock. Prepare to put those dainty little chains to the side, these ones are meant to be seen.

Dripping in Diamonds

Altuzarra spring/summer 2024

Let’s be honest: This is a jewelry trend that never goes out of style. But if you’re looking for a new way to sport the precious stone, the runways have a few ideas—starting with Altuzarra’s luxurious take, which included glimmering drop earrings. Tiffany & Co. also launched the Tiffany Blue Book x Givenchy collection, which is even more telling of the rise of fine and high jewelry. Whether you opt for natural or lab-grown diamonds, or even a style from an affordable jewelry brand, one thing is for sure: diamonds are always worth the investment.
