Best jewelry trends for summer 2024

When you think of summer, you think of fun, adventure and playfulness, right? Exactly. The same applies to summer fashion and of course summer jewelry. This season we're hitting the beach in the cutest outfits, wearing colorful gemstones and adding a bit of flowers and shells to every look. It's the quirkiness we all need – yes, including me!

This season I saw bright pearl jewelry on the runways from every accessory category. For example, Ferragamo and Carven had beads hanging on bags. Ear cuffs were also seen on the catwalk. This accessory is perfect for wearing your hair up on hot, humid summer days. This summer we're also combining necklaces – especially with a T-shirt or a simple linen dress. Last but not least, I can't forget the shells and sea creature details I saw that are ideal for a seaside vacation (little mermaid, is that you?)! Scroll through to find your summer jewelry inspiration.

Oceanic influence

Seafood and shellfish are a summer staple. This season we saw oversized aquatic animals from Schiaparelli, shell anklets from Casablanca and shell pendants from Roberto Cavalli. And you'll see them all on me, I'm afraid!
