Necklaces are a remarkable thing – they used to be a symbol of material status, belonging to a particular culture, subculture, but still today they represent a body decoration that reflects the personal taste or taste of current fashion trends.
Nowadays, they’re as indispensable as any other garment, and therefore they should be carefully selected since they rarely go unnoticed and complement each of our clothes combinations. This year brings us some vintage trends, but it also brings fresh, new opportunities, so let’s look at what 2024 has prepared for us.

Minimalistic necklaces in different sizes

If there’s a trend in jewelry that influencers have used the most, that has been the ‘layered’ one, that is, the combination of several tiny chains put at once, one on another. They range from the shortest one attached quite close to the neck, to the longest, which can reach chest height, or even longer, depending on your personal taste. Longer or shorter, there’s absolutely no doubt that pendants following the most minimalist style are stomping.
Yellow, pink and white gold chains adorned with small pendants with geometric shapes such as triangles or spheres are one of the best combinations for your day to day. It’s one of the most sophisticated options to wear on any occasion – you can wear it both with jeans and a sweater and with a more elegant dress.
A single chain gives us that subtle touch of taste that we often look for, but to be up to date it’s best to combine several of them and it’s essential to mix different motifs and different lengths! The only thing is that you shouldn’t use two similar ones or the ones of the same length – it doesn’t have the same effect.
Precious rose gold gemstone pendants

Gemstones are a classic that never fails. Just as many influencers currently opt for sapphire or ruby custom made or already designed rings instead of the classic diamonds, the same goes for all other jewelry.
If years ago it was fashionable to have a yellow gold necklace with these precious stones, now it is the turn of rose gold. The mixture of gold and bronze makes the chain have this pink hue, which makes all the ladies go head over heels for it. So if you want to add a feminine and modern touch to your outfit, pendants made of this material with rubies or rose quartz are the best thing.
Giant chains and pendants

Let a new era of giant jewelry begin!
The chains with initials that have given so much play during the last year have got a tough competitor ready to decorate our necks: the link chains. Yes, the same ones that the rappers wore on their huge shirts and that lived their moment of glory in 2000s before disappearing completely. But hey, they have returned and they did it in style.
The mode of use is very simple. In maxi format, these chains can be worn in order to accompany shirts or t-shirts, but also in order to add a bling-bling touch to an elegant party dress. You should choose neutral colors and sustainable fabrics – and there’s no way you can miss with these.
Shells, shells everywhere

The shells, which were already fashionable last summer in accessories such as bags and shoes, return this season in a collar format, offering multiple options: simple, white, multicolored or gold-plated.
For the youngest who still want to continue wearing chokers, some companies were creative enough to create gorgeous shell sets, some in pure white and the other bathed in gold – and they’re actually rather affordable as their price doesn’t exceed ten dollars. One of the most original modalities of this season are the shell necklaces in a multitude of colors, a way to give a fun and cheerful note to our spring or summer outfit with a single complement.
For the more classic ones who want to continue resorting to the typical shell accessories that we wore when we were little, there are simply adorable sets with shell pendants, golden details and another chain with light blue pebbles.
Chains with charms

This summer the necklaces of different sizes returned with their charms, this trend will continue until 2024, in which they’ll look even more flirtatious and fascinating. Among the charms that are expected to become fashionable are clovers, daisies, and ying yang – so we can expect to be transferred right to the days of Beverly Hills 90210.
This could also be a perfect match for girls who are horoscope fans, considering the fact that the world went mad about tiny zodiac sign pendants. Not only it looks neat and lovely, but it also shows one of your personal sides. You could even design your own, custom made charm pendants thanks to websites like valeriacustomjewelry.com where they can make all your sparkly dreams come true.
Chokers

Chokers are thin or thick pieces of leather or plush that tie around the neck. If you follow trends and fashion, you will no doubt remember the 90’s ones. You’re also probably familiar with the fact that they’ve brought their big comeback to the world of fashion this year.
They are a bit punk, a little hippie, but they can look very sleek and chic. With or without a pendant, these necklaces have the power to highlight the beauty of the face, so maybe that’s why girls are so eager to possess them.

Interestingly, casual necklaces are a great way to bring summer playfulness into your dress combinations. Complementing a simple dress with a striking vibrant piece of jewelry gives you a stylish and all-eyes-on-me look. You can easily achieve a very popular tribal look this year by complementing everyday combinations with woven bead necklaces. The ones made of multicolored, multi-stranded thread with a buckle on the back will look stunning with a white blouse and hot jeans for a casual look over the weekend.
Mixing metallic details and bright colors is also a must this season. A vivid combination of blue, orange and gold tiles in a sleek and fancy design can be worn on evening occasions with a small black dress and gold sandals. So many possibilities!
