It’s hard to believe that we’re in the home stretch of 2025—there is just so much to unpack, especially in terms of accessories. This year, we stood firmly in our over-accessorizing era, and if you loved the layered necklaces, tall bracelet stacks, and bag charm craze of 2025, you’re in for a treat next year.

“Accessories have main character energy right now as the clothes offered are creating the perfect canvas to let jewelry take the spotlight,” says fashion stylist Kam Throckmorton. With that in mind, accessories aren’t just in next year, they are next year’s biggest style moment—and the 2026 jewelry trends are so good.

2026 Jewelry Trends, at a Glance

What Jewelry Is Trending for 2026?

If you’re loving the 2025 jewelry trends, we’ve got good news: A lot of the same styles are returning in 2026. “The main takeaways for jewelry trends right now and into 2026 are bold, unique pieces that tell a story—think Iris Apfel, Carla Rockmore, or IRL Carrie Bradshaw,” Throckmorton notes. She says to look for “bangles stacked high that look handcrafted, a necklace stack with the perfect mix of heritage pieces passed down from your grandmother [or purchased at an estate sale] mixed with chunky beads that could have been picked up on a trip abroad.”

In addition to bold and unique pieces and jewelry with a vintage feel that tell a story, Throckmorton says anything that can be personalized (either through styling like unique stacks and pairings, engraving, or charms) is big in 2026. Brooches are also an emerging trend and a fun way to add “charms” to your clothing. “We are seeing them done in interesting ways, like using them to cinch a simple tee or covering an entire blazer in them,” says Throckmorton.
