‘Tis The Season To Prepare For The Season!
As jewelers, it’s our job to stay ahead of trends–sometimes, way ahead! Every year, we take a peek into our crystal balls and try to determine what the year’s top Christmas gifts are going to be, because it’s always best to be prepared well in advance to beat the holiday rush and snag those off-season deals. Without further ado, here are our best predictions for your 2024 gift guide.Tennis Bracelets
Tennis bracelets are a classic style: a continuous line of diamonds (or other stones) in a simple gold setting. They’ve been popular since the 1970s, when tennis legend Chris Evert lost her diamond-studded bracelet (which, back then, was called a diamond line bracelet) during a match. They earned the nickname ‘tennis bracelets’ and quickly became a hot trend.
The sparkle is undeniable on this 2.11 carat diamond tennis bracelet.
Though they faded from the fashion forefront in following decades, they’re now back in a big way. Many jewelry and fashion brands have recently introduced new lines of tennis bracelets. Some of them add a modern twist by using colored gemstones instead of diamonds, and designers may even use different colored stones to create a rainbow or gradient effect.
These gorgeous bracelets add a touch of pure elegance to any outfit. There are plenty of different tennis bracelet styles, so you can choose the size and shape of your diamonds or gemstones, as well as the setting. Some tennis bracelets are opulent for fancy occasions, while others have a subtle radiance perfect for daily wear.
Gold Bead Bracelets
Gold bead bracelets take the concept of a simple bead bracelet and elevate it to a true fashion statement. Dainty yet durable, these bracelets are perfect for adding to a stack or wearing solo. The gold beads are simple, but their shimmer and shine pack a real punch. These popular pieces are especially trendy among younger women right now, so if any of your loved ones fall into that category, here’s a foolproof gift!
This gold bead bangle is sleek, subtle and oh-so-trendy.
These refined bracelets can be incorporated into any look, complementing everything from prom gowns to pantsuits to jeans-and-tees. They’re versatile enough to be paired with almost any other piece in a jewelry collection, too, so the recipient can enjoy mixing and matching this bracelet to her heart’s content!
Paperclip Bracelets
Yes, it’s a big year for bracelets! Paperclip links aren’t actually made of office supplies–they are narrow, elongated gold (or silver) links that resemble a paperclip. This sleek and minimalistic design is particularly popular among younger jewelry enthusiasts–the teens and twenty-somethings in your life are probably big fans of this style.
This yellow gold and diamond paperclip bracelet will be a surefire hit in anyone’s stocking.
They’re classy without being overly flashy, and the lightweight construction is perfect for a young lady on the go. Their versatility is another big plus. Usually crafted from simple gold or silver, paperclip bracelets can be paired with just about anything. A paperclip bracelet can seamlessly transition from formal office attire to a more casual ‘fit for after-work drinks.
Clover Jewelry
Clovers are a trending motif for jewelry this year! Stylized four leaf clovers, as popularized by designers like Roberto Coin, have popped up as pendants, stud earrings, rings and charms on bracelets. They are typically cast in gold and filled or covered with enamel, opal or mother of pearl, though you can find diamond or gemstone-studded versions as well.In addition to being fashionable, clover jewelry offers a nice symbolism. If you know someone who could use a bit of good luck–maybe they're up for a big promotion, starting a family, applying to schools, house hunting or moving to a new city–a piece of clover jewelry lets them know you’re right by their side, wishing for the best.
This mother of pearl and diamond clover bracelet is a fashion statement and a token of good fortune.
Chain Necklaces
Here’s a style for both guys and girls! Chain necklaces are undeniably one of the hottest trends of the 2020s, and we predict that they’ll become a new normal, particularly for men who want to add a little extra intrigue to their looks.Like many of the other pieces on this list, chain necklaces come in all shapes, sizes and styles. Herringbone chains are made up of flat, close-together links that create a fluid appearance and sit close to the chest, while chunky Cuban links are a bold look sure to draw any onlooker’s eye. Women’s chains are typically daintier and ideal pieces for necklace stacks.
Chains may be plain gold, silver or stainless steel, or they might be studded with diamonds or other gems. However a person chooses to wear them, they are a versatile and contemporary accessory that’s quickly becoming a jewelry box staple. Anyone would be thrilled to pull one out of their stocking this Christmas!

Custom Jewelry
One-of-a-kind gifts become more popular each year. Younger millennials and members of Generation Z especially place great value on unique items tailored just to them, but everyone appreciates a customized gift. With custom jewelry, you can say something personal and sentimental to someone you love. Whether it’s an anniversary ring made exclusively for your partner or a necklace you hope your child can pass down for generations, custom jewelry is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give.If you want to custom design something special for a loved one this year, it’s good to get a head start. Depending on the complexity of the design, it can take 6-8 weeks to finish. The jeweler will check in with you to see if you approve of the design at various steps, and if you decide you want any changes, that can add time to the process. So the sooner you start the process, the better! You can book a design consultation with Levy Jewelers for custom jewelry in Savannah.
