What does your fashion say about you? Adding fresh jewelry or switching up how you style it might be the spark your wardrobe needs. Let our DeVons experts help you ignite your creativity and feel most authentically yourself. Read on for tips to refresh your look with intention this year.
Elevated Everyday Looks
This year’s everyday jewelry leans polished but relaxed, favoring thoughtful layering and unexpected pairings over perfectly matched sets. Here’s how simple, yet stunning pieces can make your everyday wear effortlessly chic.
Taking Neutral to the Next Level: Designers are embracing contrast in 2026, using color and texture to transform neutral wardrobes into quietly confident statements. Opt for an outfit with a neutral palette, such as a cream sweater and light jeans, and then add pops of vibrant color with a gemstone pendant and matching earrings. Or, create drama with layered gold or mixed metal pieces.
Bold Patterns and Simple Prints: In 2026, bold prints are best styled with intentional restraint – keep the jewelry minimal and simple, focusing on clean lines while allowing the pattern to take center stage. Dainty studs and necklaces with fine chains are a great way to avoid clashing. Scale matters too – chunkier pieces suit large prints, while delicate jewelry works well for small prints.
Keeping it Casual: The most modern looks feel intuitive, not overthought. Trendy delicate layered necklaces, stacked rings or a modern cuff bracelet and bangles instantly sharpen any off-duty look.
Consider these everyday looks for your collection:
- Mixed metals are defining jewelry styling in 2026, adding versatility to any wardrobe. White and yellow gold play beautifully with each other in this Gabriel & Co. 925 Sterling Silver and 14K Yellow Gold Criss-Cross Ring. Complete the look with these 14K Yellow Gold Beaded Bar Stud Earrings and this 14K Yellow Gold and 925 Sterling Silver Bujukan Interlocking Circle Pendant Necklace.
- Another versatile option is the John Hardy Spear Pavé Flex Cuff, available in a dark silver with a contrasting 5.5mm diamond band. Add these John Hardy Essential Hoop Earrings in sterling silver with 13mm pavé diamonds for easy but on-trend weekend wear.
Day-to-Night Styles
With a fast-paced life, you’ll need versatile pieces that can keep up.
Formal Wear or Evening Looks: Select jewelry that adds a single focal point to your outfit, such as classic pearls, sparkling diamond hoop earrings or a diamond bangle bracelet. For a bolder statement, anchor your stack with a diamond choker and build dimension with longer, layered pieces.
Consider these looks for a day in and a night out:
- Swap your simple hoop earrings for these 14kt 4 1/3ct Yellow Gold Lab Grown Diamond Hoop Earrings to create an instantly elevated evening look.
- Add this classic 14k Yellow Gold Lab Grown Diamond Bracelet for an extra level of elegance.
- Layering necklaces is another popular way to transition from day to night. You might start with this beautiful 14K Yellow Gold Bujukan Leaf Pendant Necklace. Then add this radiant 14K Yellow Gold Bujukan Diamond Mother of Pearl Starburst Medallion Pendant With Detachable Bail, and this exquisite 14K Yellow Gold Diamond Clusters Bujukan Beaded Choker Necklace for bigger impact.
Dress for Your Mood
Dress how you feel – or how you want to feel.
Balance is Key: Pair a bold statement piece (like a chunky necklace or large earrings) with simpler, more delicate pieces to avoid overwhelming your look.
Layer with Purpose: Stack bracelets, rings or layer necklaces of varying lengths for depth and texture. Done right, this is a uniquely striking way to elevate any outfit.
Match Your Outfit: Use jewelry to complement your clothes, drawing out certain colors. Silver or white gold jewelry works best with cooler tones, while yellow gold complements warmer tones beautifully. When it comes to neutrals, just about anything goes, especially bolder pieces.
Express your personality with these uniquely beautiful pieces:
- Minimalist jewelry is radiant in its simplicity with clean lines and understated designs. This 925 Sterling Silver Bujukan Bypass Bangle is a stunning choice. It pairs perfectly with this 925 Sterling Silver White Sapphire Pendant Necklace and matching 925 Sterling Silver Bujukan Huggie Drop Earrings.
- Opting for bold colors with a single statement piece can beautifully anchor an outfit.
- This 14K Yellow Gold Malachite Beads Necklace is uniquely striking, especially when paired with a matching pendant. It’s also available in bright blue lapis lazuli or classic black onyx stone beads.
A Personal Expression
It’s essential to select pieces that you love and that fit your personal lifestyle and daily routine. Great style, after all, should always be a true expression of self.
Create an Inspiration Board: Save images of looks you love – on Pinterest or in a journal. Then try to identify common themes in colors, shapes, and styles, and choose jewelry that reflects that look.
Focus on Fit and Proportion: Long earrings can elongate the face, while chokers highlight your neckline. You’ll want to opt for dainty or chunky pieces that flatter your frame without overwhelming it.
Coordinate Details: Match jewelry metals to hardware on your shoes, belt or bag for a cohesive look that’ll exude confidence wherever you go.
These John Hardy pieces have elegant gemstone touches that make them beautifully versatile for any occasion:
- This John Hardy Heishi Chain Wrap Bracelet in sterling silver with varying blue and orange gemstones is an eye-catching piece that you can wear daily. A similar style is available in blue, turquoise and black gemstones.
