THESE ARE THE JEWELLERY TRENDS TO KNOW NOW

You’ve sifted through the trends and got your spring wardrobe sorted, but what about the finishing touches? Jewellery is often the last thing we put on in the morning and the first we take off at night, but it deserves just as much airtime as the rest of your outfit. So, what will the jewellery trends of 2026 look like? We’ve got all the details.

If Carolyn Bessette’s story was updated to 2020s New York, we could totally picture her wearing sculptural jewellery with her pristine Calvin Klein wardrobe on the Lower East Side. This spring, any It-girl worth her vintage wardrobe is accessorising with pieces that look like molten metal. Think wavy silver cuffs stacked and slid over the sleeves of fine knits, or origami-inspired statement earrings that offset slicked-back buns.

The quickest and easiest way to update winter’s funnel-neck jackets? Add oversized sunglasses and colourful chandelier earrings. For a true 80-inspired look, go for polished metals and rainbow resin. You don’t need to be matchy-matchy with your colour palette – it’ll look even more chic if it’s a little bit mismatched.

When the weather gets warmer, a person’s mind inevitably turns to one thing – the beach! There’s a way to channel the sun and sand without being too obvious, and that’s by focusing on the smaller details, like faux pearls, shells and, this season, surf-adjacent cord necklaces. We love super-long styles with metal or resin pendants, which look just as good over a jumper as a bikini. Cool girls are taking styling notes from Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2026 show and layering three or four over their favourite striped tees.

If last year was about personalising bags with charms, this year it’s about personalising your bracelet stack – and when it comes to customising, more really is more. Charm bracelets are the easiest, most high-impact way to say who you are with your jewellery. Grab a style with a few charms pre-installed, or take the blank slate approach with a chunky curb chain and charms that have personal significance to you.

If spring trends have taught is anything, it’s that rules were made to be broken, and what’s more of a hard and fast fashion rule than “don’t mix your metals”? The trick is to make it look deliberate – stack your gold and silver necklaces in equal proportions or go for earrings or rings with multiple metals.
