Jewelry Trends in 2026

Let’s begin with themes we’ll see inspire jewelry pieces this year:

Gothic, Baroque, & Art Deco

Coquette trends in jewelry that focus on dainty jewelry pieces are slowing down to make room for more Gothic, Baroque and Art Deco inspired pieces.
This means moving from softer jewelry aesthetics to stronger ones that include lots of layers, embellishment, and chunky pieces.
Expect to see tassels on long necklaces, cuff bracelets, beaded jewelry, and chunky hoops.
Necklace layers will also combine different types of chains like the rope and snake chains, and even leather.

Coastal Chic pieces that we will see involve large shell pendants, layered shell necklaces, and chunky shell studs.
As part of this Coastal Chic trend, we will also see pearls shine in a new light. Asymmetrical pearls and pearls in chunky and Baroque jewelry designs will trend this year, along with pearl necklace layers and layered pearl bracelets.

Fun and playful charms on bracelets, necklaces, and anklets are going to continue to inspire pieces this year.
As seen recently on Netflix’s Emily in Paris, mismatched earrings will add a touch of fun and spontaneity to looks this year.

As part of the playful theme, customized charm bracelets and necklaces will be big this year.
Personalized pieces with names, initials, quotes, or handwritten notes will add a special touch to jewelry in 2026.

Bright stones will bring the fun and color to many looks this year. Stones like sapphire, ruby, jade, emeralds, amethyst, and other colorful gemstones are going to be shining on their own, or all together, this year.
Bonus points if the gemstones are in different sizes for fun, mismatched looks

Silver jewelry pieces are expected to make a huge comeback this year. Especially when it comes to the Coastal Chic and Baroque theme.

Diamond jewelry this year will focus on essential and classy pieces like tennis bracelets, bezel-set necklaces, and classic round studs.
