These 6 Jewellery Trends Will Matter the Most in 2026

I’ll start this off by being very honest, I didn’t really start investing in jewellery until this year. I mean, I owned a few pairs of earrings, but it wasn’t until very recently that I caught on to just how big a role jewellery plays in elevating an outfit. Of course, fashion insiders have always known this, and have consistently had their fingers on the pulse of which jewellery trends will dominate the following year. So, as someone relatively new to understanding the power of a good jewellery piece, I decided to sit down with an expert to understand which trends I should invest in for 2026.

Below, I asked Ruth Aymer Marten, Creative Director & Founder of jewellery brand Aymer Maria, for the six key jewellery trends that dominate 2026. Here’s what she had to say.

Which Jewellery Trends Will Dominate 2026?

Ruth Aymer Marten says, “Due to the unfathomable rise in gold prices and the growing desire to express oneself away from the orchestrated trend, the change in direction for jewellery trends was ever-present in 2025. Pieces which carry a strong presence, therefore, saw great growth. And this will continue into 2026, as the desire for authentic expression continues to grow. However, with prices continuously increasing, the overarching theme will very much lie in a jewellery item’s ability to stand the test of time. People want pieces that feel just as timeless and worth the investment as they do unique, and jewellery designers and fashion houses’ stories behind their pieces will need to ring true to their audiences to resonate.”
