New year, new you. We don’t know what 2026 will hold, but one thing is for certain: jewellery trends will be about personal expression, in all its wonderful (and sometimes chaotic) glory. From bolder choices, customisable pieces and secret diamonds, to a renewed wave of nostalgia: it seems we are reclaiming the narrative when it comes to the pieces we wear. Here are the trends shaping the world of jewellery in the new year.
1. Gender-Neutral Jewellery Takes the Spotlight
The growing trend of gender-neutral fashion is now unmistakably woven into fine jewellery. What was once considered ‘menswear’ or ‘womenswear’ is dissolving, making way for designs that appeal across the spectrum. Tennis jewellery, once traditionally a classic women’s staple, is now being styled by everyone, whether worn casually with knitwear or paired with sharp tailoring.
Pieces like our Midnight Tennis Bracelet, crafted with sleek black diamonds set in black rhodium metal, embody this shift perfectly. These darker stones open up the classic tennis design to a variety of styles and aesthetics: all that’s left is for you to decide how you’ll express yours.
2. Customisable & Hidden-Secret Pieces Are Blooming
Talking about self-expression: jewellery, we know, is becoming more than just sparkle. Customers are increasingly looking for pieces that hold private meaning, whether through concealed coloured gems within the band, discrete engravings that need to be deciphered like a code, or other bespoke touches only the designer and wearers know. Our Starlight Collection reflects this beautifully, with secret compass-set diamonds hidden under the centrepiece: these little hidden details make our craft, and your story, come alive.
3. Uncommon Diamond Cuts Are In
Round brilliants will always win the popularity contest, but 2026 is seeing a renewed fascination with less conventional cuts. Old mine cuts, with their romantic hand-cut charm, have surged thanks to Taylor Swift’s engagement ring and the wider cultural revival of historical styles. Their soft glow and irregular facets appeal to those wanting a diamond with character and history.

These diamonds bring about a distinctive and artistic feel, ideal for someone who likes their sparkle to be a little out of the ordinary.
4. Vintage Revival: The Return of Old Hollywood Glamour
Minimalism had a good run over the last few years, but 2026 marks the return of glamour, romance and bold personality. We’re seeing an increasing number of bespoke requests featuring filigree and decorative detailing, lending a romantic feel to the designs. Antique-inspired pieces are making a strong comeback, propelled once again by the Taylor Swift effect and a wider cultural longing for that Old Hollywood sparkle.
So… Is the clean-girl aesthetic actually ending? Perhaps not entirely, but it’s certainly sharing the stage with detail-rich pieces that celebrate craftsmanship. So don’t be surprised if you see an untick of whimsical motifs, vintage silhouettes and ornate metalwork crowding your feed this new year.
5. Lab-Grown Diamonds: Technology is (again) Thriving
Lab-grown diamonds continue their upward trajectory, and 2026 is projected to be their strongest year yet. Their accessibility is encouraging more people, men included, to invest in fine jewellery for the everyday, rather than limiting diamonds to bridal wear or special occasions.
The appeal of lab-growns boils down to the fact one can own a beautifully crafted piece without compromising on size or quality. Whether it’s a sleek pair of lab-grown studs, a custom bracelet or a bold pendant worn daily: many are embracing diamonds as part of their lifestyle rather than a once-in-a-lifetime purchase.
So, Where Do We Go From Here?
Jewellery in 2026 is expressive, story-driven and deeply personal. It celebrates artisanal craft and the wearer’s individuality in equal measure. As style evolves, one key aspect remains: the pieces we choose are no longer just accessories but reflections of who we are, our personal journey and the narratives we wish to carry on into the world.
