- Small Watches
Demand for smaller men’s and women’s watches has grown substantially over the past year, largely driven by increased media coverage of celebrities wearing these timepieces. The recent reintroduction of the Gucci Play collection has further accelerated consumer interest in this petite style. Which offers collectors greater diversity in fashion choices and allows wearers to select a watch that complements their personal style, rather than adhering to traditional norms. Their size allows these watches to be styled as jewellery, seamlessly blending function and fashion. Brands such as LONGINES, with the Prima Luna collection, exemplify this timeless approach. We anticipate that more brands will follow suit, releasing collections similar to GUCCI or reviving popular designs from previous years. This trend is also gaining traction among men, with brands like TISSOT, ORIS, and EMPORIO ARMANI becoming increasingly popular choices for those seeking a stylish accessory to complement their outfits.
2. Gummies
Gummy jewellery is experiencing a period of growth, capturing the attention of both designers and consumers alike. This trend has been popularised by collaborations, such as the THOMAS SABO x Haribo collection, which has brought playful, candy-inspired pieces into the spotlight once again. “In 2026, we’re going full-on gummy. Gen Z and Millennials are behind this ASMR overload—picture bendy phone cases, elastic cheek tints and probiotic treats that have that spring-back bite,” Pinterest stated in their 2026 trend predictions. “As more people embrace bold, unconventional styles, gummy jewellery offers a unique way to add colour and personality to any ensemble. Embrace that sweet tooth, the gummy trend is coming back sweeter than ever!”
3.Celestial Comeback
The celestial jewellery trend is experiencing a remarkable resurgence, fueled by a wave of nostalgia and the growing popularity of thrifting. Social media platforms are buzzing with accounts documenting the hunt for vintage celestial pieces in thrift and charity shops, inspiring a broader audience to rediscover and embrace this distinctive style. The appeal of celestial stars, moons, and cosmic symbols has transformed these designs into a trending hotspot, with many enthusiasts seeking to coordinate their jewellery with home décor for a celestial-inspired aesthetic. Leading brands such as THOMAS SABO, OLIVIA BURTON, and the PJ COLLECTION have interesting collections offering modern takes on classic celestial themes, ensuring that this style remains both relevant and desirable in 2026. Will you hop on this trend?
4. The Maximalism Movement
With the minimalism trend taking the social and real world by storm, we’re seeing a comeback of the maximalism movement! With large cluster rings, the habit of stacking bracelets and mixing and matching different coloured gemstones, the world is starting to become more creative and daring with its jewellery style once again. Leading the charge is NOMINATION, renowned for offering maximalist yet elegant jewellery options. The brand empowers customers to design their own charm bracelets, providing a wide array of personalised links to suit individual tastes. Brands, such as GEORG JENSEN, also provide a diverse range of chunky and unique jewellery patterns like the famous grape style. Additionally, the THOMAS SABO collection offers a diverse and engaging selection of pieces.
5. Sea Shore Jewellery
The seaside style is coming back to our shores, with its popularity growing more and more day by day. This trend draws inspiration from the extreme popularity of TIKTOK and natural elements such as shells and pearls, evoking a sense of relaxed elegance and wanderlust. Leading brands like THOMAS SABO and CLOGAU have embraced this style, offering pieces that capture the essence of coastal living. Their collections feature delicate shell pendants, pearl accents, and marine-inspired charms, appealing to those who wish to incorporate a touch of the seaside into their everyday look.
As demand continues to grow, we anticipate that even more brands will introduce sea-inspired collections as a key trend for spring/summer in 2026.
