Your Guide to the 2026 Jewelry Trends

I've always made jewelry built to last, not to trend. Small-batch craftsmanship, quality materials, timeless design - that's been my approach since day one. What's shifted in 2026 is that these values are finally having a moment. The focus has moved away from disposable fashion and toward pieces that hold their value over time. 

What people want now is jewelry that lasts. Sculptural designs with staying power. Mixed metals that reduce decision fatigue. Pieces built to be handed down, not thrown out. My collections have always focused on these qualities. Here's how my artisan crafted jewelry fits what you're looking for this year. 

1. Sculptural and Architectural Designs 

The trend embraces bold shapes and fluid metal lines. For everyday wear, this translates to confident structure that doesn't overwhelm. 

Featured Piece: Handcrafted Geometric Spiral Earrings

These earrings use simple, confident lines to create an architectural form you can wear every day. They catch the light with subtle, structured movement while remaining grounded enough for your daily rotation. You get the trending gold look in a balanced, comfortable piece. 

Crafted from lightweight 14K Gold Fill wire in a clean spiral design that hangs straight. Structured form, comfortable wear.


2. Mixed-Metal Layering and Multi-Tone Finish 

Combining yellow, rose, and white metals is no longer a fashion risk - it's a core component of a modern, flexible wardrobe. But why stop at two tones when three gives you even more versatility? 

Featured Piece: Tri-Color Minimalist Circle Dangle Earrings

One pair of earrings that matches every metal you own. These circles combine Argentium® Sterling Silver with 14K Yellow and Rose Gold Fill, so they work with your white gold watch, your yellow gold rings, and your rose gold bracelet - all at once. No more coordinating metals or switching earrings to match your jewelry. The result is a grounded piece that delivers warmth and clarity while simplifying your morning routine. 

Three metals, infinite combinations. True go-with-everything ease.


3. Colorful Gemstones with Sculptural Metal Framing

Vibrant blues, greens, and purples are trending. I work with natural stones - Lapis Lazuli for blue, Amethyst for purple, Aventurine for green. The featured piece here is blue, which just happens to be my favorite match for casual wear with jeans.

Featured Piece: Lapis Lazuli Framed Circle Pendant

Royal Blue Lapis Lazuli Pendant Necklace in Argentium Sterling Silver
This pendant features an 8mm Lapis Lazuli bead - a rich, deep blue - framed by reflective Argentium® Sterling Silver circles. The metal circles sit behind the stone, creating depth and catching light from every angle while keeping the focus on the vibrant blue. The stone is securely mounted on a head pin for a clean, worry-free profile that won't snag on clothing.

4. Personalized and Heirloom-Inspired Pieces 

Jewelry that tells a personal story and holds long-term value is more important than ever. My commitment to high-quality materials and classic design ensures every piece is built to be a future heirloom. 

Featured Piece: The Classic Love Knot Dangle Earrings

The Love Knot - a design rooted in continuity and connection - is my signature for a reason. Its enduring appeal means 
you'll wear this piece for years, making it a natural choice for your signature look. Its understated elegance speaks to a style that lasts, designed to be passed down and enjoyed for generations.

5. Commitment to Slow Fashion and Artisan Craftsmanship

Beyond specific styles, the core trend is sustainability - meaning quality that lasts. My studio provenance and small-batch approach deliver on this promise through durability and mindful creation. 

Featured Piece: Handcrafted Chunky Byzantine Bracelet

This bracelet uses a labor-intensive, woven link technique to create a beautiful, weighty texture that stands up to daily life. You get a core piece you can rely on, not a disposable trend. It's built to become part of your daily rotation for decades. 

Substantial, handwoven construction that embodies enduring, slow-fashion quality. 



Great style in 2026 isn't about chasing what's new. It's about investing in pieces that work with everything you already own, that feel good to wear every day, and that you'll still love in ten years. The best addition to your jewelry collection isn't about what's trending now - it's about what you'll still be wearing in 2036. My pieces are built for that kind of longevity. Browse through all my collections and choose the pieces that speak to you.
