This year's main trend was eye-catching jewelry. It all started with a diamond sparkling on Zendaya's hand when she appeared on the Golden Globes red carpet in January.
Her horizontally set diamond engagement ring was an inspiring model for every ring we saw after that.
Suffice it to mention Dua Lipa's ring, Taylor's rare Old Mine diamond, and Miley Cyrus's sparkling stone.
Fortune smiles on the brave.
After several seasons dominated by layered pendants and combination rings, experts say the trends this year will change slightly. According to them, the attention will once again be on eye-catching jewelry, but the focus will be on a single piece.
This happens as clothing tends to be increasingly minimalist, but with well-combined jewelry, the look will take on another shine.
Chunky pendants and semi-open bracelets
We already understood that this year there is no place for a pendant full of layers. It will be a single one, which is eye-catching enough, so that we will not need to wear any other jewelry. As for bracelets, this year's trend will be those that sit a little tight on the wrist and are very slightly open.
Attention is diverted from gold.
If we've seen gold jewelry almost everywhere this season, next year all the attention is expected to be on silver.
Rings placed on the little finger
2026 will be the year of the little finger rings.
According to fashion experts, this trend is expected to stay for some time.
Priority to quality
Buyers are increasingly paying attention to quality rather than quantity when it comes to jewelry. Another trend is pairing an expensive piece of jewelry with a much cheaper one. If you see a precious stone hanging on a simple chain, don't be surprised; you'll see it more often in the coming year.
