80s Button Earrings: Nostalgia Never Looked So Good

We LOVE the 1980s here at Jack Weir & Sons. They were a decade of excess, opulence, and statement fashion, and we couldn't be more obsessed that this spirit is making a grand return in the form of button earrings. These oversized, circular earrings, often with bold colors, metallic finishes, and intricate details, are a nod to the power-dressing era. They add a touch of vintage glam while being perfect for both day-to-night transitions.

These large circular and square-shaped studs were  seen  in full force at the 2024 Fall shows. Designers including Saint Laurent, Versace, and Carolina Herrera used them as a way to celebrate the boldness of both today’s styles and the eras they take inspiration from. 

These earrings are designed to be the focal point of your look. Pair them with sleek hairstyles, such as a low bun or slicked-back ponytail, to let the earrings shine. Whether you're wearing a sharp blazer or a flowing evening gown, 80s button earrings add an instant touch of retro glamour.

Pendants: The Art of Personal Expression

Pendants have always been a way to express personality and sentiment, but they’re now taking center stage in bolder and more artistic forms. From large, sculptural pieces to intricate lockets, pendants are becoming wearable art. This trend embraces individuality, with pieces that range from minimalist to highly detailed, often layered for a curated look.
Fall 2024 shows saw an abundance of pendants with everyone from Gabriela Hearst, whose long pendants were layered with choker collars, Bottega Veneta who took a page from the sculptural trend, and Dior who made delicate gold look as chic as ever. took a sculptural approach with oversized baubles, and Dior showcased delicate, barely-there gold droplets.

Pendants are incredibly versatile. Layer different lengths and styles for a bohemian chic vibe, or wear a single statement piece over a monochrome outfit for maximum impact. Pendants also work well with both high and low necklines, making them a go-to accessory for various looks.

Pearl Details: Classic Elegance with a Modern Twist

Pearls have been a symbol of timeless elegance for centuries, but today’s pearl jewelry is anything but conventional. Designers are reimagining pearls in innovative settings, combining them with unexpected materials, and giving them a fresh, contemporary edge. Whether used sparingly as details or as the centerpiece of a design, pearls are proving they’re here to stay.

Moschino, Carolina Herrera, Miu Miu, and Alessandra Rich all heavily featured pearls throughout their Pre-Fall 2024 and Fall 2024 collections. From the most heritage of looks - single strands and pendants - to more avant garde looks, pearls are having a very demure moment in the zeitgeist.

Pearl jewelry adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit. For a modern look, opt for pieces that mix pearls with metals or stones, creating contrast. Layer pearl necklaces of varying lengths, or choose asymmetrical pearl earrings for a contemporary twist. Pearls also pair beautifully with both casual and formal attire, making them a versatile addition to your jewelry collection.

Sculptural Metals: Where Art Meets Fashion

Sculptural metals are redefining jewelry as wearable art. These pieces go beyond mere decoration; they are statements in themselves. Featuring bold shapes, fluid forms, and sometimes unexpected textures, sculptural metal jewelry blurs the boundaries between fine art and fashion. The trend is all about pushing the limits of what metal can do, resulting in pieces that are both dramatic and elegant.

Sculptural metals took center stage on the runways of Gabriela Hearst, Missoni, and Bottega Veneta for Fall 2024. These shapely pieces almost mimic the curves of the human body, creating a powerfully graceful aestietic without dominating the whole look.

These pieces are meant to stand out, so keep the rest of your look simple. Sculptural metal earrings pair well with minimalist outfits, allowing the jewelry to take center stage. For a bolder look, combine multiple sculptural pieces, such as a statement necklace and cuff bracelet. The key is to let the metalwork shine, making it the focal point of your ensemble.

Animal Motifs: Wild Inspirations

Animal motifs have long been a part of jewelry design, but they’re experiencing a renaissance with a new level of detail and creativity. Whether it’s a serpent winding around a finger, a butterfly perched on an ear, or a lion’s head pendant, animal-themed jewelry is both playful and symbolic. These pieces often carry deeper meanings, representing strength, transformation, or freedom, making them more than just beautiful adornments. 

Chemena Kamali’s Chloé debut saw the return of the snake motif and delighted with miniature gold horse heads. Loewe was inspired by Byzantine art to create micro-mosaics of  dogs inspired by eighteenth century motifs. 

Animal motif jewelry works well as a statement piece. A single, bold ring or pendant can elevate a simple outfit. For a more eclectic look, mix and match different animal motifs—think a snake bracelet paired with a lion pendant. These pieces are versatile, making them suitable for both casual wear and formal occasions.

Chunky Chains: Bold, Brazen, and Unapologetic

Chunky chains have surged in popularity, embodying a sense of power and confidence. This trend is all about boldness, with oversized links that make a strong statement. Whether worn as necklaces, bracelets, or even belts, chunky chains are versatile and impactful, adding edge to any outfit.

Chunky chains were a key highlight at Fendi and Prabal Gurung for Fall of 2024. Incorporating heavy, industrial-style chains over understated pieces created a look that was both modern and classic. The juxtaposition of these luxe materials with the grit of the chains made for a striking contrast.

Chunky chains are incredibly versatile and can be worn in a variety of ways. For a casual look, layer multiple chains of different lengths over a simple top. For something more polished, wear a single chunky chain necklace with a tailored blazer or dress. Chunky chain bracelets also add an edgy touch to any outfit, whether worn alone or stacked.
