The adage “April showers bring May flowers” is coming to life right before our eyes…You can’t help but notice all of the beautiful flowers blooming outside! 2024 spring jewelry trends include floral inspired jewelry. Let’s explore ways to incorporate beautiful floral inspirations in your jewelry this spring!
Metal Jewelry in Floral Designs
One way to incorporate floral inspiration into your jewelry is by choosing beautiful metal designs featuring flowers, vines, and leaves. Rings, pendants, bracelets, and earrings that feature floral elements and give a delicate and romantic feel to your jewelry. The organic shapes of the flowers give a relaxed touch to the straighter clothing lines. Floral-inspired jewelry is especially elegant when paired with the strong lines of a blazer and fitted pants. At the same time is a soft delicate touch to the loose-fitting spring dresses that are often worn in the warmer months.
Whether a cool tone or warm tone metal, botanical-inspired metal jewelry is a great way to add a spring touch to your outfit.
Floral Inspired Gemstone Cuts
The beautiful spring-colored gemstones can add a feminine floral touch when either cut or arranged in a flower pattern. Round, oval, and cabochon cut gemstones give the most natural look most resembling blooms but even emerald cuts surrounding a round cut gemstone give the flower look.
Rose Cut Gemstones
Did you know there is a special gemstone cut called the rose cut? The base of the stone is wide and flat and the top is covered with triangular facets giving a rose-like look. The rose cut is usually round but can be found as an oval shape or pear shape. Rose-cut gemstones were often used as accent stones for antique jewelry. This cut was once used mainly with diamonds but now the round brilliant cut is often chosen instead because it highlights the sparkle of the diamond. The rose cut has recently seen a resurgence in popularity as many celebrities have been wearing rose-cut gemstone rings! (Jennifer Aniston was given a gorgeous rose-cut engagement ring from Justin Theroux and was recently seen wearing a similar rose-cut diamond at the 2024 SAG Awards!)
The rose cut is unique and beautiful and would be perfect for someone with a deep love of roses or a special gift!
Gemstone Halos and Diamond Surrounds
No matter the cut of the primary stone, whenever a halo of smaller gemstones surrounds it, we are reminded of a beautiful blooming flower! Look at this beautiful pear-shaped opal with a diamond surround.
