Some we know and adore, and some are making their fashion debut. From the runway and beyond, 2024’s most promising jewellery trends have something for everyone.
From everyday style to bridal designs, here are our favourite jewellery trends sure to take 2024 by storm and our advice about building the ultimate jewellery box.
PEARLS, PEARLS, PEARLS
Out of all the classic jewellery staples making their style revival, the rising popularity of pearl jewellery has us the most excited. In jewellery boxes everywhere, old Hollywood elegance is being immortalised in youthful pearl designs - ideal for any style and occasion. While most tend to associate pearls with the classic strand, rest assured this luminous gem is more versatile than that!
Our Atlantis collection puts pearls in the spotlight with delicate designs that exude playful sophistication and everlasting youth. These pendants, earrings, bracelets, and rings can be worn together in a seamless suite, or individually for a pared-back moment. Not to mention, these designs are the perfect wedding accessory!
somewhere over the rainbow
We all know a diamond is forever, but we would be lying if we said coloured gemstones weren’t having a moment! Whether it’s the magnetic allure of tourmaline or the captivating energy of tanzanite, the list of obsession-worthy coloured stones is truly endless. If you’re a fan of the classics, perhaps a precious stone like emerald, ruby, or sapphire is more your style. Either way, adding a pop of colour to your lifelong collection is guaranteed to ignite your style and soul in 2024.
Thinking about popping the question? Keep these gems in mind because coloured centre stones are also making their way into the engagement ring game! Whether it’s her favourite colour or her birthstone, a coloured engagement ring brings a whole new level of sentiment. Next, engrave the ring, plan the perfect proposal, and cue the tears!
ALL ABOUT METAL
You may have heard the rule about never mixing warm and cool-toned metals. Well, breaking the rules of fashion has never been more in style! Combining metals is a playful nod to out-of-the-box fashion, and opens the door to an increasingly fresh and effortlessly cool wardrobe. Whether you have your eye on a ring with a mixed metal band, or adore stacking your necklaces and bangles, this up-and-coming trend is the one for you. If so, our very own Three75 collection, using durable 9ct gold, is your one-stop shop for stackable looks and versatile pieces.
Of course, this trend isn’t designed for every occasion! If you’re tying the knot in 2024, you’d be interested to know that yellow gold is the undisputed metal of choice for most brides. While those with a cool undertone may opt for white gold, yellow gold has taken the bridal world by storm, and will likely stake its claim on the upcoming wedding season.

MUST-HAVE hoops
Can’t find a necklace to match that dress? Throw on a pair of hoops! Simple yet bold, exciting yet elegant, a well-made hoop earring will endure every season. While big hoop earrings are having their turn in the spotlight, incorporating a classic, comfortable, and wearable pair of hoops into your everyday jewellery box is a surefire way to feel confident, and in fashion!
quiet luxury
Finally, our favourite 2024 anti-trend: the movement towards “quiet luxury”. While the term for this style of dressing is relatively new, investing in high-quality jewellery with a timeless appeal has always been our motto. While extravagant designs certainly have a place in our hearts and jewellery boxes, steering away from ostentatious fads, caught up in the trend cycle, will serve you well into the future. Whether it's a pair of diamond earrings, a simple necklace, or a bangle that goes with everything, these are the pieces that you will love forever, and will last forever!
