The Hottest Jewelry Trends To Elevate Your Wardrobe This Season — & The Best Pieces To Invest In

Think about the jewelry trends of the last few years: understated, “quiet luxury,” and dainty. Now, hold onto your petite huggie hoops, because 2024’s jewelry trends take us in a completely different direction. And this new direction isn’t all that unexpected considering the most recent viral trends. The “mob wife” aesthetic is still going strong with its big blowouts, fur coats, and glitzy jewelry, and other maximalist trends, like opera gloves, are so back. In fact, accessories in general seem to be getting louder, from bags to shoes.

Many of these jewelry trends can be seen in Ben Bridge’s spring collection, and a few of our favorite pieces are highlighted below. In the collection, you’ll find bright colors, stunning gemstones, and nature-inspired elements, designed to carry your outfits through the warm weather and beyond.

First founded in 1912, Ben Bridge Jeweler has been providing high-quality jewelry via its shops (and now website) for over a hundred years. It’s still family-run, too, today managed by Ben Bridge’s great-granddaughter, Lisa. The company carefully regulates its supply chain, confidently selling only conflict-free diamonds. And with more Registered Jewelers and Certified Gemologists than any other jeweler in the country, the company certainly knows its jewelry. Read on for more about the trends dominating this spring, from the experts at Ben Bridge.

Bold Colors

This spring, match the vibrant hues of the warm, blooming world around you with brightly colored jewelry. Neutral colored stones like diamonds have been in for a while now, but this season, consider more vibrant gemstones like green tourmaline, purple garnet, or citrine — the latter of which is featured in these pear-shaped citrine and diamond earrings. The teardrop style evokes timeless elegance, while the citrine’s bright, sunny hue feels simultaneously classic and on trend. Pair that with a few tiny diamonds studded above the citrine and a white gold setting, and you’ve got an accessory that’s bold, glamorous, and guaranteed to stand the test of time.

Inspired by Nature

There’s no better season to embrace flora- and fauna-inspired motifs than spring, and these butterfly earrings hit all the right notes — they’re showy (hello, loud luxury), they’re fun, and they even evoke that Y2K butterfly trend. And despite their whimsical, eye-catching look, the earrings are surprisingly wearable. They measure just 2 to 3 inches long, meaning they effortlessly tow that line between everyday-appropriate and formal, so you’re bound to get a ton of use out of them. And, made of 14-karat gold, the high-quality earrings will last a lifetime.

Mixed Metals

According to Bustle’s fashion reporters, mixed metals are back this season, and the experts at Ben Bridge agree. After all, there’s no need to choose between silver or gold when you can have it all — and buying mixed-metal pieces will give you the freedom to switch between jewelry types. Wear silver earrings and a gold necklace at the same time, and tie it all together with a piece like this anchor-link two-tone bracelet. Made of both 14-karat white and yellow gold, the piece from the brand’s Toscano collection highlights fine Italian craftsmanship, and the bracelet’s made even more eye-catching with its contrasting metals.

Liquid Shapes

Seamless curves and contours take the spotlight with this high-fashion trend that’s been seen across the fine jewelry and interior design categories. This diamond cocktail ring embodies the wavy trend with its seemingly endless gold waves and three rows of round diamonds. Made of solid 14-karat gold, the ring is bold and elevated, glowing and sparkling in a way that’s both impactful and soft.
