Bustle | Jewelry Trends in 2024

Dainty religious symbols are untouchable in their timelessness — virtually impervious to cyclical fashion, because they represent more than just aesthetics. Because of their permanence, crosses are often reimagined and revamped to fit the era’s trend du jour. This year, that happens to be maximalism.

Largely thanks to 2024’s shift toward loud luxury, the humble cross pendant has taken a turn for the overstated. Inspired both by the recent Chrome Hearts revival and TikTok’s “mob wife” aesthetic, cross-inspired jewelry is more flamboyant than ever, featuring opulent design details like gemstones, pearls, and chunky chains.
