Most Popular Necklace Style Trends of 2024
Classic Tennis Bracelet: A Timeless Investment
In 2024, we see diamond collars and chokers becoming one of the most popular choices for those seeking a new diamond necklace to grace their neckline.
Collars and chokers are trending in 2024 due to the incredible breadth of styles they encompass and complement. Dainty collars featuring a single, delicate sequence of brilliant diamonds are a brilliant choice for those seeking a minimalist design that brings a refined allure to casual and formal occasion alike – hugging the neck and adding a subtle shimmer that grows in brilliance the more it is observed.
On the other hand, bold statements can be made with far thicker diamond chokers, which hug the neck similarly yet take up more real estate. Striking designs featuring diamonds only, as well as blends with other gemstones and precious metals provide a host of looks for those seeking to be noticed in their diamond necklace choices. An ideal focal point for special events, diamond chokers provide a vast canvas for designers to explore their creativity – and as you can imagine, the results are simply stunning.
Which style calls out to you? Check out Abelini’s range of diamond collars and chokers and play your part in exploring one of 2024’s trending diamond necklaces.

Revered for their classic elegance, tennis necklaces elevate any outfit with ease, and their versatility means they’re just at home on the neckline whether at a formal gala or brunch with friends.

Chain Link Necklaces: The Resurgent Darling
Chain link necklaces are also displaying a b resurgence in 2024, capturing the hearts of many with their stylishly bold yet intricate designs. Diamond chain link necklaces are named due to the interlocking chains of which they consist, with stunning interplays of diamond, other gemstones and precious metal allowing for extravagant styles.
In 2024, we see the arrival of more modern, edgy looks as jewellers craft chain link necklaces with chunkier, more striking links and splashes of colour by other gemstones such as emerald, sapphire and ruby.
Incredibly versatile, diamond chain link necklaces can be worn individually for those seeking minimalist aesthetics, or layered to produce the boldest looks for which you could hope. We’re extremely excited by the way that jewellers are bringing contemporary flair to this classic style – and bet you will be, too.

Memorable Lockets: Picture Perfect
Diamond lockets have always been a popular pendant for those seeking a way to carry with them a memento of whatever they hold dearest to their heart.
Characterised by their hinged compartment within which photographs or mementos can be placed, diamond lockets offer an incredible opportunity for designers to create intricate, complex diamond-encrusted designs – as well as let individual diamonds sing upon a backdrop of the locket’s precious metal body, which may feature a delightful filigree or delicate engraving.
Endlessly personal pieces explored in classic and contemporary form alike, diamond lockets are making a huge comeback as a trending diamond pendant in 2024 – though we bet they will never remain far from the eye (and neckline) of the discerning jewellery aficionado. After all, those we love are the most precious pieces of all.
If you’d like to carry that which you love with you everywhere, take a look at our range of diamond lockets and discover the perfect vessel. And of course, they also make a perfect gift for those who may wish to carry you with them everywhere they go.
Celestial Statements: Interstellar Charm
Celestial statement necklaces are inspired by the stunning wonders of the night sky, and have risen to incredible popularity as one of 2024’s top trending diamond necklaces.
Necklaces of this kind can be recognised by their motifs of stars, moons, constellations and more, representing the wonders of the sky above through remarkable settings of shimmering diamonds. Mankind has always gazed to the sky at night, marvelling at its mystery and beauty – so it’s no surprise that in 2024 we are gazing at celestial statement necklaces with equal wonder.
And just as the night sky stretches endlessly, so do the potential designs of this diamond necklace type. From subtle pieces featuring a few sparkling stars to grand pieces that evoke the majesty of entire galaxies, celestial statements are one of our favourite rising styles of diamond necklace.

Charming Accents: Eclectic Elegance
Another trending diamond pendant in 2024 are charming accent necklaces, which take their name for the characterful charms that hang from their necklace chain.
From hearts, flowers and animals to symbols as vast as your imagination can stretch, charming accents provide wearers with the desirable chance to represent their unique character in the form of unique diamond pendants.

Pops of Colour: Diamond & Gemstone Necklaces
Another of 2024’s exciting trends in diamond neckwear is the combining of diamonds and colourful gemstones, which contrast the brilliance and clarity of the classic diamond with vivid, colourful gemstones that open the doors to new creativity and celebrations of personality.
From single, eye-catching gemstones framed by diamonds to clusters of diamonds that highlight stunning gemstone examples, the potential for captivating contrasts is simply remarkable.
Birthstone necklaces are one fantastic example of the emergence of this new trend – whereas in years past necklaces would have featured only the relevant birthstone, they now are accompanied by diamonds that frame and draw extra attention to the birthstone whilst shining brilliantly in their own right.
Another approach is the blending of complementary colours, such as diamonds paired with blue-shaded sapphires or deep red rubies to create vivid designs with depth and character. The potential is endless, with citrine yellows, amethyst purples and emerald greens incorporated into diamond necklace designs to create truly stunning pops of colour.
Energetic and playful, colourful diamond necklaces trending in 2024 confirms our new desires for self-expression. Popular with jewellery wearers of all ages and backgrounds, diamond and gemstone necklaces offer a new playground in personalised style – and we cannot get enough of it.

Layering Necklaces: Bigger is Better
In 2024, we also see layering necklaces becoming a significant trend in diamond necklaces and pendants.
The layering trend invites individuals to embrace creativity and showcase their style through the artful arrangement of necklaces in addition to the design of the necklaces themselves.
Wearers have endless freedom to mix delicate pieces, blend delicate with bold to accentuate the appearance of each piece, or go wild with layers of bold diamond necklaces. The potential interplay is remarkable, with each necklace featuring contrasting precious metals, additional gemstones, charms and more.
There is no better way to add depth to your look than filling your neckline with blends of the diamond necklaces you possess. Some may choose to layer necklaces that complement each other in their appearance, while bolder individuals will choose intentionally contrasting pieces so that they play off and single out one another.
Layered necklaces make it easier and more evocative than ever to to tell your story through a sequence of necklaces – brilliance has never been so brilliant!
Selecting Metals for Diamond Neckwear in 2024
While gold remains a firm favourite as the precious metal for diamond necklaces, we are seeing a rise in alternatives as 2024 unfolds.
Silver is coming to the fore as the second most popular precious metal for diamond neckwear – its chromatic brightness is the perfect accompaniment for the diamonds themselves, continuing the brilliance of the necklace’s focal point throughout the chain itself. You can never have too much sparkle!
Metal Mixes are also growing in prominence, with combinations of gold, silver, and rose gold allowing for endless possibilities. This trend is most seen in necklace designs featuring a lot of precious metal, such as chain link necklaces and lockets. Here, the contrast between the various precious metals can play just as captivating a part in the overall piece as the gemstones themselves.
Trending Necklace Lengths and Shapes in 2024
Moving on from necklace designs themselves, 2024 also heralds new focus on the length and shape of necklaces themselves, with trending designs inspiring new waves of style across the world.
Choker Length diamond necklaces are making a b comeback, accentuating necklines with trending, tight designs that sit snug around the base of the neck, and leave a fantastic space for longer necklaces to be worn in tandem.
Princess Length diamond necklaces typically measure 17-19 inches in length, and are revered for how they flatter the collarbones. From that resting point, they frame the face wonderfully and bring real grace to any ensemble. Princess length diamond necklaces range from delicate pendants to intricate clusters, making them a versatile choice whether you seek minimal or bold brilliance.
Matinee Length diamond necklaces range from 20-24 inches, a longer length that permits a more dramatic look. Falling just above the bust, matinee length diamond necklaces are ideal for adding glamour to evening gowns as well as completing classy daytime outfits.
Opera Length diamond necklaces are gaining real popularity this year – and at 28-36 inches in length, they are incredibly long. Opera length necklaces make for striking looks that hang down below the bust, playing into the trend for layered necklaces with their inviting space for shorter length necklaces to hang above.
Lariat and Y-Shape diamond necklaces have become truly trendy necklace shape choices for those seeking contemporary, fashion-forward looks in 2024. Featuring a long chain with a pendant or drop that creates a V or Y shape, Lariat and Y-shaped diamond necklaces instil elegance and dynamism in the neckline while standing as real statement pieces.
Geometric Shape diamond necklaces are another highly popular design choice for diamond necklaces for 2024. From clean lines and angular forms to intricate patterns, these necklaces bring modern, artistic touches to your outfit. From triangles and squares to hexagons, geometric diamond necklaces add a pleasing, provocative modern flair to classic diamond jewellery.
