Plated or pearly, sterling or studded, silver or gold, men’s jewelry trends 2024 are running the accessories gamut. It’s a welcomed change as men’s jewelry has too often been uniform and low-risk—usually displaying only a wedding band or a watch. Thanks to the fluidity in genders and the disregard for societal standards, men’s jewelry has become just as playful, romantic, and oversized as women’s jewelry. The look can also be attributed to celebrities like Harry Styles, Shawn Mendes, and Machine Gun Kelly fashioning the trend.
So what’s on the docket for 2024? You can expect to see even more signet rings, more necklaces, and more details in ear candy. You’ll see statement and glitz-inspired bracelets and iced-out necklaces that hip-hop culture has fashioned. There really is something for everyone. And if you haven’t worn jewelry before, don’t panic. There are several minimalist jewelry trends that you can dip your toes in at your comfortability. All in all, between brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton, Miansai and Jaxxon, David Yurman and Cartier—there’s really no going wrong with men’s jewelry this year. Ahead, we take a look at the top six trends in men’s jewelry for 2024.
Minimalism continues to be a strong trend in fashion, and men’s jewelry is no exception. You’ll see a lot more geometric shapes and understated designs to lean into simplicity and effortless elegance. In 2024, you will enjoy minimalist pendants, dainty cuff bracelets, traditionalist signet rings–proving less is not only more, but the way to a luxe look. These pieces can compliment both casual and formal looks.
If red carpets are anything to go by, Michael B. Jordan, Paul Mescal, and Harry Styles are dismantling the pre-existing boundaries of who can wear loud and large rings. More ostentatious designs of flashy bling, rhinestones, or bold colors are becoming the accessory of choice for the 2024 man. This is also a great way to add glitz when diamonds feel too extra.
Taking a page from women’s jewelry trends, men are experimenting with metals and feeling comfortable mixing silver, gold, or titanium. The fusion helps to add dimension and visual interest, allowing you to customize your look to your individual style.
Established by Sotheby’s Vice Chairman of Jewelry, Frank Everett, #bringbackthebrooch has been trending the last few months. The fall 2023 runways started the resurgence. Brooches add a touch of formality and sophistication to any outfit. They can elevate a black-tie look or add texture to your daily uniform. Plus, often as an heirloom piece, they can be passed down from generation to generation.
Layering bracelets to create a wrist stack continues to trend into 2024. Bracelet layering pairs great with longer sleeves to peak out and show off some personality. Feel free to have fun with it by experimenting with texture, beads, or other embellishments to create a playful stack.
You might be hip to the power of the signet ring, but new and growing in popularity for 2024 is the dangly earring. It’s the ultimate style accent as it shows total confidence and self-expression. As a hot tip: dangling earrings can add a lot of weight and be too heavy for the ear. If you have thin lobs, you might want to consider lightweight dangles with minimal pendants.
