I’ve been getting questions about what jewelry is in style this season and if I have any recommendations, so today I’ve got a roundup of wearable jewelry to complete your spring/summer outfits.

In my post on Style Choices That Make You Look Older, I mentioned the importance of updating your jewelry and accessories. Even those of us who purge our closets on a regular basis tend to neglect our jewelry box, but just like clothing, jewelry and other accessories start to look outdated after a few seasons.
Now that spring is in full swing, this is a good time to go through your spring/summer jewelry and take inventory. Get rid of anything that is broken, dated, or no longer works for you. Then make a list of items you may want to add this season.
Hopefully this post will give you some inspiration, if you’re unsure about what you need or what looks current right now.
Spring/Summer 2024 Jewelry Trends to Know
After years of minimalistic jewelry, big and bold styles are back in this season. I’m still seeing a lot of layered styles too, especially layered necklaces, but the layered bracelets we’ve been doing for some time are giving way to bold cuffs. Think chunky, one and done designs.

Along those lines, teardrop earrings, chunky hoops and sculptural designs are still trending; and the puffy door knocker earrings are everywhere right now.
With the coming of summer, the shell motif is everywhere, from everything from subtle to bold interpretations of this trend.

I’m also seeing a lot of wood and raffia statement earrings, and rosettes are still a thing, so lean into that if it’s your vibe.
Beaded chokers are also trending, although they aren’t my favorite. If you have a short neck, this may make it look shorter. If you like the look, go for a more delicate style.
And while shiny silver and gold jewelry dominates, there are a lot of colored gems making their way back in. Usually it’s a single stone design, but there are also some colorful beaded pieces around, and I’m seeing these layered with pendants and gold or silver chains.

I rounded up a bunch of options in each category. Most of these are under $100, but there are a few exceptions. As with most things, you get what you pay for, but these are all brands that make good quality pieces that should hold up to everyday wear and tear and won’t cheapen your look.
