The spring 2026 ready-to-wear season may have been the most preemptively talked about in recent memory. The expectation: 15 debuts across New York, Milan, and Paris would shift fashion. The reality: The way we dress—and shop, and consider clothing altogether—is in a constant state of flux, and what the collections contextualized is just how many different iterations of style are relevant today. This was particularly evident in the extras: The most compelling jewelry trends sharpened the message of the season’s individual stories.
The super-charged sex-appeal of Dario Vitale’s debut Versace collection included stacks of bracelets and strand necklaces, suggesting a freewheeling, throw-caution-to-the-wind approach to accessorizing that chimes with the way the designer’s generational cohort does fashion—unpreciously and with confidence.
Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing, Hermès’s Nadège Vanhée, and Michael Kors also liked a layered look, but with a more boho feel. Festival necklaces were similarly trending at Celine and Tory Burch, while at Givenchy and Lanvin those beads became gemstones and crystals, la bohème replaced by opulence. For an even more decadent vibe, see Saint Laurent and Gucci, where pieces looked more like museum-worthy crown jewels than runway accessories, though if you want something that makes you feel as good as you look, Schiaparelli’s glowing salt rocks might be the ticket.
At his Chanel debut, Matthieu Blazy showed both Coco-esque pearls and mixed metals with yarn and thread, another key jewelry story of the season. It’s his fireworks earrings that made the biggest impact, however. Alessandro Michele’s brutalist butterflies at Valentino also captivated. Scroll through for the top jewelry trends at the spring 2026 collections.
