At Hersey & Son, we’ve been closely looking at emerging jewellery trends for 2026, drawing inspiration from what our clients have been loving over the past six months, alongside our own forward-looking approach to silver jewellery design. By combining real-world buying behaviour with a little crystal-ball gazing, we’re excited to share what we believe will define jewellery style in the year ahead.
Overall, 2026 is shaping up to be a year of bold expression and individuality. Expect to see more chunky shapes, increased demand for personalised jewellery, and ladies embracing the use of mixed metals and layered looks.
Key Trends & Styles for 2026
Textured Hoops, Bold Cuffs & Statement Shapes
We’ve always been fans of textured gold and silver hoops, which have long been popular in our store, alongside chunky silver cuffs. In 2026, these statement pieces will continue to shine, with wearers choosing jewellery that feels strong, tactile, and stylish.
Larger silhouettes and sculptural forms are moving into the spotlight, offering pieces that feel both contemporary and timeless – perfect for everyday wear or special occasions.
Colour Takes Centre Stage: Birthstones & Gem Accents
Our birthstone necklaces and earrings have been particularly popular throughout 2025, and we predict this trend will evolve further in 2026. Regardless of your birthstone, rich greens and deep blues are set to dominate.
- Emerald greens bring a sense of luxury and renewal.
- Deep blues add elegance and depth.
These gemstones add personality and vibrancy, making them ideal for elevating both casual outfits and formal looks.
Silver Layered & Chunky Chains
Layering remains a key styling choice, with a noticeable shift towards thicker chains. Expect to see styles such as paperclip chains, rope chains, and bold curb designs worn alone as statement pieces or layered with finer chains for contrast.
This trend offers versatility, allowing wearers to build a look that feels personal, modern, and effortlessly put together.
Personalised Jewellery – Meaning Matters
Personalisation continues to be one of the strongest trends heading into 2026. Jewellery is no longer just about style; it’s about story and sentiment.
Whether it’s a name, initial, meaningful date, or special message, personalised silver jewellery allows you to stand out from the crowd. Initial pendants, engraved charms, and birthstone pieces have long been favourites at Hersey & Son, and we expect demand for custom engraving to grow even further in the year ahead.
Silver Jewellery Trends for Men
Many of the trends we see for ladies are already being embraced by men. Chunky chains, layered necklaces, and bold silver designs continue to grow in popularity.
Personalisation plays a key role here too, particularly with our engraved leather bracelets, where names, dates, or messages add a subtle but meaningful touch. Men are also experimenting more with mixing fine and chunky chains, creating layered looks that feel confident and contemporary.
