2024 Jewelry Trends
Art Reigns Supreme, Fashion Follows Suit
In recent years, century-old jewelry brands have been continuously reinforcing their brand value through art exhibitions, showcasing their long history and unique craftsmanship. High-end jewelry brand Van Cleef & Arpels held the “Time, Nature, Love” exhibition in Seoul this March, conveying its century-old aesthetic style and captivating charm through artistic curation.
In April, Tiffany & Co. organized the immersive “Tiffany Wonder” exhibition in Tokyo, presenting a spectacular feast of jewelry.
While century-old jewelry brands solidify their market position through priceless art, luxury brands like Dior and Gucci are also launching stunning high jewelry pieces, achieving impressive sales performance and gaining consumer popularity.
In this year’s high jewelry collection, Gucci presents “An Elegant Journey of Exploration” inspired by Art Nouveau style, featuring Colombian emerald designs that interpret geometric symmetry in Italian gardens. As for Dior, their new Délicat high jewelry collection precisely applies the delicate craftsmanship of haute couture to jewelry making.
Capturing the Young Generation:
K-Pop Stars Boost Luxury Brand Endorsements
As consumer demographics shift towards younger generations, jewelry brands are vying for Generation Z’s attention, with K-Pop star endorsements becoming increasingly prevalent. R
enowned international jewelry brands like Cartier and BVLGARI have signed BLACKPINK members Jisoo and Lisa as brand ambassadors. Korean star Kim Taehyung (V) has become Cartier’s jewelry ambassador. Furthermore, BTS member Jimin and BLACKPINK’s Rosé have both become new ambassadors for Tiffany & Co.
These endorsements not only enhance brand awareness among young Gen Z consumers but also attract more young customers. Cartier, which started early with the concept that “children’s education can’t wait,” began cultivating young fans as early as 2020 with their “Panthère de Cartier” exhibition. They aim to instill a Cartier dream in everyone, creating desire through powerful marketing and planting influential seeds.
Century-Old Brands, Craftsmanship Crossovers, and Major Events
In the face of rapidly growing AI technology, century-old brands emphasizing unique handcrafted artistry are actively engaging in cross-disciplinary craft collaborations. For instance, Chaumet, the French royal jeweler, collaborated on medal designs for the 2024 Olympics, employing their Griffe Setting jewelry technique to create a Parisian nail pattern.
This not only adds an innovative style but also reinforces the purity of exquisite craftsmanship, celebrating life’s most brilliant moments!
New Highlights in Jewelry Fashion
Style Highlight
Gender-Neutral Wear and Flexible Bracelet and Ring Designs
In this year’s jewelry trends, bracelets and rings have topped the list as some of the most popular categories among the new generation. Self-expression, ring stacking, and gender-neutral bracelets are all the rage.
Luxury brand Chanel’s heavily promoted Coco Crush series, with its global celebrity endorsements and pop-up store experiences, allows VICs to try various trendy stacking combinations, presenting a personal style that others cannot replicate.
Tiffany & Co.’s LOCK collection, launched last year, symbolizes intimate togetherness with its dual-tone color scheme. The simple design, both square and round, not only reinterprets the classic lock but also allows for the most design variations in bracelets, making it the strongest representative of gender-neutral jewelry.
Linear Highlight
Choker Necklaces and Square, Cushion-Cut Designs are New Favorites
Simplified designs and clean lines are major characteristics of this year’s jewelry style. Choker necklaces are concise and personable.
Chaumet’s ring designs have been simplified to appear more refined and fashionable. For example, the Joséphine Aigrette line has recently simplified its lines while retaining the classic V-shaped egret design. The new Joséphine Éclat Floral piece is a single diamond ring featuring a cushion-cut diamond, with a sleek design that’s irresistible.
Celebrating Trinity’s 100th anniversary, Cartier has introduced various cushion-shaped pieces inspired by the square Tank and Santos designs, which are both fashionable and distinctive when worn.
The brand also held grand celebrations in New York, London, and Paris, featuring jewelry and sculptural art intertwined in three rings symbolizing loyalty, friendship, and love – independent yet interconnected in emotions, truly befitting a fashion pioneer.
Innovation Highlight
Avant-Garde and New Choices for Men
Discerning gentlemen also have more fashionable choices. Louis Vuitton’s Les Gastons Vuitton high jewelry collection introduced Les Gastons Vuitton Blue, developed with titanium metal for an innovative new color that’s both lightweight and durable.
Louis Vuitton’s titanium blue, inspired by popular blue denim combined with white and yellow gold, offers stylish men a more modern choice. Earrings paired with LV Diamonds (specially patented cut) further accentuate the uniquely fashionable elements.
Integrating into life and flexible transformation. Looking at the 2024 jewelry trends, brands are not only elevating their value to artistic extremes but also creating more innovative choices and playful surprises. Let’s look forward to more excitement in the future world of jewelry!
