2024 Jewelry Trends Inspired by the Emmys and Oscars

With the recently concluded Golden Globes and Emmy Awards and the soon-to-be-held Academy Awards being considered as the most prestigious red-carpet events in the world, it is no surprise that people are hooked on to these events not only from an entertainment point of view to understand who won what, but also from a fashion perspective. Award shows like these tend to bring out new trends every year in the fashion and jewelry landscape, thanks to the glamorous “looks” that celebrity bring to the table.

For jewelry makers and enthusiasts alike, these iconic ceremonies become a serious point of inspiration for their own creations and ensembles. From the most alluring halo engagement rings to extraordinary pave engagement rings and more, there is a massive range of jewelry trends that have been set by celebs at the Emmys and the Oscars.

Today, let us delve into the allure of such award functions from this perspective and break down some of the latest trends they have defined for 2024.

What makes red carpet events so irresistible for fashion and jewelry aficionados?

Apart from the actual stage at the Emmys or Oscars, the literal red carpet at events like these serves as another stage for celebrities to flaunt their ensembles while the paps, journalists, and other visitors lap it all up from the sidelines.

These celebs, often from H-town, set the tone for fashion and jewelry trends that are replicated and followed the world over by other celebrities and lay people (until the next big event takes place, at least).

From stunning chokers and bold necklaces to inventive earring designs and over-the-top rings, these red-carpet events often bring out the most bizarre and often pathbreaking jewelry designs to the fore. While some people do it just to seek attention, others are keen to flaunt their latest trendsetting jewelry designs because they really are out of the ordinary.

Take for instance Audrey Hepburn’s pearls or Nicole Kidman’s chandelier earrings that become the talk of the town when they first wore them and later set the tone for jewelry design in the United States. Or you could look at the recent trendsetters including the likes of Selena Gomez with her 55-carat necklace or Ali Wong’s jaw-dropping earrings earlier this year.

How to incorporate the hottest red-carpet trends into your styling routine

Did someone from the recent Emmy’s sweep you off of your feet with what they were donning? Is it something you would like to infuse into your daily or special occasion ensemble? Well, here are a few pro tips and ground rules to help you do just that:

1. Coord sets work best

   Rather than picking out individual pieces that appeal to you at first glance, it is always a better idea to think about your jewelry as a complete set. Embrace coordinated jewelry sets that include accessories with the same language for a well-rounded look that truly looks like an “ensemble.”

2. Go completely bold or not bold at all

   Instead of choosing a so-called statement piece that isn’t really a statement piece by definition, it is best to pick an in-your-face element if you really wish to go bold. Chunky chokers, oversized rings, or asymmetrical jewelry can work like a wonder if you want that over-the-top look. And on the other end of the spectrum, you can do away with the gaudiness and opt for minimalistic jewelry designs that complement your outfit rather than overshadowing it.

3. Incorporate colored gemstones

   Take a leaf from your favorite celeb’s red-carpet look and use a vibrant pop of color in your jewelry to stand out from the crowd. Color coordination is the key to completing your jewelry-outfit pairing and ensuring that all of it looks like it belongs to the same family.

4. Mix and match

   Do not be afraid to mix and match jewelry pieces, metals, stones, fabrics, and layers of clothing for a look that is anything but conventional. After all, experimenting is the key to avoiding a run-of-the-mill look that serves no one! You can look up to celebrities who are fearless in their choices in this regard.

5. The vintage vantage point

   Timeless elegance is often the vibe, especially when it comes to middle-aged or older celebrities, as they strive to stay forever relevant. And there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, we believe that vintage-inspired designs never go out of vogue, so it is no surprise that so many celebs stick to vintage jewelry and classic outfits that never seem to misfire on the red carpet.

Jewelry styles keep evolving and premium red-carpet events that get a lot of eyeballs are among the primary drivers for these celebrity-inspired trends. Over the decades, we have seen several trends come and go. While the affinity for classic and understated ensembles continues to be a staple, there is a clear paradigm shift towards innovative and incredibly bold designs, especially among the younger celebrities. This in turn reflects almost immediately on the society and people’s buying patterns.

We have also seen more and more celebrities making conscious choices in terms of sporting ethically sourced jewelry and sustainable materials in the recent past and this trend will only grow stronger from here.
