Silver is more than just the metal of the moment – it's enjoying a full-scale comeback that's set to sparkle well into 2025. And we're SO here for it. The Y2K revival, combined with a growing appreciation for understated luxury, has set the stage for the silver jewelry trend to perfectly capture noughties nostalgia while chanelling a more grown-up look.
In an interview with Marie Claire, Jenny Bird, the designer and creative director of her namesake jewelry label, says, “the minimalist and voluminous high-shine shapes in jewelry that are also trending right now just really suit silver. It works with their more elevated appeal.”
Luxury fashion is in agreement. From Area and Jean Paul Gaultier's bold structural pieces to Bottega Veneta's bubbly, rounded earrings and pendants, and chunky silver wrist cuffs at Gabriela Hearst, silver dominated the Fall 2024 runways in every imaginable form.
Ready to make the icy shine of silver jewelry your fall style signature? Let's dive into some celebrity-inspired style notes to nail the trend.
For chilly evenings when you have a work event or two, a double-breasted dress like this one on Simone Ashley looks impeccably put-together. Notice how gold was the obvious choice here, but instead, silver jewelry brings an unexpected pop of youthful energy. The rounded, chunky shape of the Nouveaux Puff Earrings balances out the sharp cuts of the tailored dress. The Mini Industrial Link Earrings would also work well to create the same restrained yet relaxed vibe.
Talk about style icons. Zendaya makes a case for textural contrast in a high-neck popcorn knit next to a smooth, polished ear stack ft. the Tome Huggies . You too can harness silver’s unique ability to catch and reflect light while keeping things cohesive in cool-toned knits. It’s all about fuss-free jewelry that elevates any look without overwhelming it. Silver ear cuffs like the Double Hoop Ear Cuff will also do the job.
Silver rings have taken over our feeds, particularly in natural forms that hug the fingers. Bhumi Pednekar in the Hester Ring for Grazia India is the perfect example of this trend interplaying with other trends like denim co-ord sets. The logo jacquard and fur trim add some decadence as a little treat for the cosy months. You could even opt for the Open Oval Ring for some playful negative space.
Nothing groundbreaking about leather for fall. But go with brown leather + turtleneck + silver, à la Camila Mendes, and you have a truly dynamic fall look. The Florence Twin Hoops are a steady celeb-favorite for a reason - they give the look of two earrings in one, and are super lightweight for all-day wear. We’re also nominating the Tina Earrings as the perfect complement for warm-toned leather.
Speaking of the Florence Twin Hoops, doesn’t Daisy Edgar-Jones nail the polished-yet-casual look here? The secret is in the cropped length of the cardigan, and once again, the unexpected pop of silver brought on by the earrings. Bonus points for the belt left hanging on the side. Also pay attention to the gold hardware on her bag - there’s more than one way to mix your metals. You could even consider adding a fluid bangle like the Ola Bracelet or an edgier Industrial Link Bracelet – don’t hold back!
“Experimental is the new traditional,” according to Jenny Bird. “The silver we know from growing up was all in safe—traditional silhouettes, those simple chains, charm bracelets, very basic hoops and high school rings. Silver is now starring in a high fashion role as the finish on art-gallery-worthy pieces that are just as much mini sculptures as they are earrings,” she says.
No doubt, high-quality silver jewelry is a far cry from the easily tarnished pieces of our youth. Gone are the rings that turn your fingers green and the immediately-bent-out-of-shape hoop earrings. Whatever your vibe, durable silver demi-fine jewelry is a sureshot way to channel your inner cool girl this fall and beyond.
