Hey there, jewelry lovers! As an expert jeweler, I'm thrilled to share my predictions for what will be sparkling in 2026. This coming year is all about experimenting with your style and showcasing what makes you, well, you! Let's take a look at this year's up-and-coming trends!
A Forever Kind of Love: The Enduring Appeal of Natural Diamonds
In a world full of trends that come and go, some things are just classic. And in 2026, the real, natural Earth born diamond is, once again, a timeless choice. We’re seeing a renewed interest in these magnificent, one-of-a-kind gems, and it's all about celebrating their inherent, natural beauty and unique history. Natural diamonds aren't just stones set into jewelry; they are a symbol of forever love.
The best part? Everyone, from celebrities to everyday jewelry lovers, is embracing them. Take a look at Taylor Swift's gorgeous, real diamond engagement ring, for example. Her fiancé, Travis Kelce, chose a natural, elongated old miner’s cut diamond. This natural stone holds history and will tell this couple's iconic love story for the rest of time. We're so confident this trend will continue in 2026, that we created a collection of Taylor Made Engagement Rings that are inspired by her ring!
TAYLOR MADE COLLECTION COMING SOON!
Why we love it: Selecting a natural diamond is all about choosing a stone that has been formed by the earth over billions of years, making it as unique as your own love story. They carry a sense of history, tradition, and unparalleled brilliance. When you choose a natural diamond, you're not just buying a piece of jewelry—you're investing in a legacy.
Layering It On: More Is More!
Remember when you had to pick just one necklace? Forget that! Layering jewelry is the hottest trend; it’s all about creating your own unique story, and the possibilities are endless! This is your chance to mix and match your favorite pieces, allowing each one to shine while working together to create a look that's completely yours. Express different facets of your personality, transforming your jewelry collection from a set of individual items into a cohesive and captivating work of art.
Why we love it: Layering allows for incredible versatility. You can mix your everyday favorites with statement pieces, adjust the look to suit any outfit, and truly showcase your personality.
We also love that this trend transcends gender - our model Brian is rocking several styles of sterling silver chains at different lengths, creating a showstopping layered look!
Bezel Beauties: The Securely Stylish Look
For those who love a clean, modern vibe, you're going to fall head over heels for the bezel setting. We saw this trend emerge in 2025, and it's still going strong into the new year!
Instead of prongs, a bezel setting wraps a thin metal rim around the entire stone. It’s sleek, chic, and worry-free. Beyond its obvious security benefits (say goodbye to snagging prongs!), bezel settings offer a clean, uninterrupted view of the gem. They lend themselves beautifully to minimalist designs, making them perfect for everyday wear, but also shine in more elaborate pieces where the focus remains squarely on the captivating stone.
Why we love it: The clean lines and modern profile of a bezel setting provide a fantastic canvas for creative designs, from minimalist solitaires to intricate, layered pieces.
Our new and improved Naked Diamond Stud collection is an amazing example of how a thin bezel showcases the natural beauty of a real, Earth born diamond™. These dazzling studs showcase our commitment to craftsmanship and security.
Mixing Metals: Time to Break the Rules!
The days of picking just one metal are officially over. In 2026, we're all about mixing metals! Go ahead and stack that silver ring next to your gold one, or pair your rose gold earrings with a white gold necklace. Blending different metals—like yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold—creates a dynamic look that's modern and fun.
Why we love it: Mixing metals adds an incredible dimension to your jewelry collection. It allows you to wear all your favorite pieces, regardless of their metal, and creates a more eclectic and personalized look. This trend is particularly impactful when combined with another up-and-coming trend: layering! Layering in mixed metals offers endless possibilities for creative expression.
Get in Shape: The New Shape of Jewelry
Get ready for jewelry that looks like wearable art! We're seeing a move away from sharp, perfect lines and towards more fluid, abstract, and natural forms. Think melted metal, asymmetrical designs, and shapes inspired by nature. These pieces are more than just accessories; they are wearable sculptures that tell a story.
An amazing example of this style trend is our brand-new Sloane collection (COMING SOON!). This sterling silver collection is for anyone who loves to make a bold, artistic statement and wants their jewelry to reflect their unique personality.
THE SLOANE COLLECTION COMING SOON!
Why we love it: This trend is a huge hit because it celebrates jewelry that is personal and expressive. Each piece has a unique flow and form, creating a striking and memorable look. They aren't just beautiful pieces of jewelry; they are an extension of your own creative style.
Another example of this trend is our brand-new Gilded Glam collection (COMING SOON!). Perfect for the jewelry-lover who prefers yellow gold without the yellow gold price tag, this collection features sterling silver jewelry with a real gold vermeil, making it much more affordable. The collection's melted metal shapes, inspired by nature, are definitely going to be hot this year!
THE GILDED GLAM COLLECTION COMING SOON!
Color Your World: Gemstones Make a Splash!
While classic diamonds are in style, 2026 is going to be all about color! We're seeing a huge surge in demand for vibrant, colorful gemstones. In fact, we've expanded our color gemstone collections to include even more gemstones and bolder designs!
This trend is a blast because it's a perfect way to show off your personality and mood. Just like a favorite outfit, a colorful gemstone can be an extension of who you are; each stone has its own unique story and feeling.
Why we love it: Adding a pop of color to your jewelry box is a fun and easy way to change up your look. You can choose a stone that matches your birth month, a color that complements your eyes, or simply a gem that makes you feel happy. It allows you to create a truly one-of-a-kind collection that is as unique as you are.
So there you have it, a sneak peek into the dazzling world of 2026 jewelry trends! From the curated chaos of layering to the secure elegance of bezel settings and the harmonious blend of mixed metals, next year is all about celebrating your unique style. We can't wait to help you discover the perfect pieces to express yourself!
