It looks to be an exciting evolution for fine jewelry trends in 2026. Statement jewelry with a modern twist on classic designs has been popular, as have mixed-metal and mixed-media pieces for their striking, versatile style. Ranging from bold rings and exquisite necklaces to simple earrings and chunky bracelets, here’s our list of key pieces to include in your wardrobe.

Bold Statement Pieces and Sculptural Jewelry

Think single pieces with big impact and a more artistic design for 2026. Chunky chains, big rings, dramatic earrings and cuff bracelets are making a comeback.

For women, pieces like this chunky yet simple 14K White & Yellow Gold Bujukan and Diamond Choker are trending. For a more complete look, consider adding these 14K Yellow Gold 60mm Round Classic Diamond Hoop Earrings.

For a more sculpted look, consider this elegant, yet contemporary 14K Yellow Plain Gold Graduating Cuff Bracelet from Gabriel & Co.

This striking chain-style has been popular with men like this 14K Yellow Gold 12mm Width Classic Diamond Men’s Cuban Bracelet.

In the John Hardy Collection, you’ll find several Naga-style pieces that have been popular. Naga, being a divine serpent from Hindu, Buddhist and Jain mythologies, acts as a guardian of treasures, power and spiritual knowledge. The Naga bracelet in sterling silver with pavé gemstones and its matching Naga Ring in sterling silver with a gemstone eye are a bold choice. The line also includes several Naga pieces for women.

Mixed Metals and Material-Blending

Adding visual interest could be as simple as mixing materials in 2026. The idea is to combine gold, silver, rose gold, enamel or other materials for layered, versatile looks.

Although simple in design, these 14K Yellow Gold Bujukan Diamond Classic Hoop Earrings with White Enamel are striking with a beautiful blend of yellow gold, enamel and diamonds. The enamel also makes a wide variety of colors possible, including black, emerald green, chrome green, fuchsia, chrome blue and many more.

For men, our John Hardy collection offers several attractive mixed medium options, including this Heishi Bracelet with black gemstones and yellow gold. They offer a Heishi Necklace (as seen here in sterling silver with gemstones) as well, for a more complete look.

Of course, for a truly unique look you’ll want to consider our Heavy Stone rings. You can design your own ring with nearly any mixed materials you like, including finishes and inlays on the outside and inside of the ring. For example, you could create a platinum ring inlaid with zebra wood or even guitar strings with a special inscription inside.

Modern Pearls and Reimagined Classics

Pearls remain a popular choice, but reimagined in baroque shapes and layered pieces, or paired with unexpected settings.

This 14K Yellow Gold Diamond and White Mother of Pearl Bujukan Bangle is an especially beautiful example. It’s particularly lovely when paired with this 14K Yellow Gold Bujukan Mother of Pearl Inlay and Diamond Starburst Signet Ring.

Layered pearl necklaces like this 14K Yellow Gold Bujukan Pearl Layered Necklace will always be in style.

For men or women, this Surf Pendant Necklace in pearl and sterling silver from John Hardy offers a sculpted, modern take. It’s all the more beautiful when paired with the Surf Ring in pearl and sterling silver.

Stacking and Layering

Mixing and matching stackable jewelry with personal touches is another trend that will continue in 2026. Look for stackable rings and necklaces, bespoke settings, heirloom-inspired or custom designs to emerge.

Capture multiple styles with this masterfully designed 14K Yellow Gold Diamond Wide Band Easy Stackable Ring.

Or, consider this wide 18K White Gold Wide Six Row Diamond Ring for a more commanding look.

You can, of course, purchase multiple necklaces for a layered look, or consider this 14K Yellow Gold Bujukan Transformable Layered Necklace. It achieves a layered look beautifully in a single piece and can be adjusted to create a variety of styles.

Bangle bracelets are another very popular way to accomplish a stacked look. You might mix this 14K Lab Grown Diamond Bangle Link Bracelet with this 14k 1 3/4ct Lab Grown Diamond Comp Flexible Bangle for an elegantly stylish look.

Customization

Increasingly, people are embracing the opportunity to create a custom piece that reflects their unique preferences. Gabriel & Co. offers custom rings in their engagement and wedding ring collection.

Our Heavy Stone collection offers men a wide range of materials, including traditional options like platinum or yellow gold, as well as more unique choices, such as the darker zirconium or the blue-hued moku-ti. You can then select the inlays, exact width, engravings and more.

Inlays on the inside or outside of the ring can be made of a wide variety of exotic materials, including purple heart wood, gemstones, Damascus metal and even prehistoric materials like meteorite or crushed dinosaur bones.

Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing

Crafted with precision, lab-grown diamonds provide a high-quality, environmentally conscious choice while maintaining their beauty and sparkle.

They are especially exquisite in engagement rings like this floral-inspired 14K White Gold Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring.

Both radiant and elegant, this 14k Yellow Gold Lab Grown Diamond Pendant Necklace is another excellent option. It looks particularly striking with these 14k 4 1/3 ct Lab Grown Diamond Hoop Earrings.
