Surprise! Y2K's Biggest Jewellery Trend Is Back, and I'm 100% Into It
Trends come and go but great jewellery is forever. Able to a last lifetime (and beyond), your favourite jewels should offer you an easy way to showcase your personal style every day. This is why I take the curation of my own jewellery collection very seriously.
When I shop for jewellery, I like to make sure I have a mixture of refined pieces that layer well and look elegant on their own, as well as more playful items that bring a smile to my face and add a fresh twist to my daily looks. Charm jewellery ticks both of these boxes. Peppering classic necklaces and bracelets with jovial trinkets, the charm jewellery trend offers a lighthearted way to liven up your day-to-day styling.
The appeal of charm jewellery lies in the possibilities for personalisation. Available in an extensive range of designs, you don't have to look far to find a design that perfectly encapsulates your taste. Any fashion person around in the '00s will tell you that charm-laden jewellery was the easiest way to showcase your personal interests or travel adventures, Now, the jewellery trend is set to regain its status in 2024. Available in both sleeker and more humorous designs than its '00s predecessors, 2024's charm jewels feel fresh, vibrant and so easy to wear.
Backed by many of our favourite jewellery designers, the charm jewellery trend is taking off this season. To get involved, seek out unique charms on your travels and stack them up on your favourite chains, or read on to discover our favourite pre-designed charm jewellery pieces to shop this season, from Astrid & Miyu's dainty take to Alex Monroe's animal-embellished style.
