Damiani Jewellers, a mainstay in fine jewellery, has revealed the standout trends that will define personal aesthetics in 2026. The forecasts promise a return to bold glamour and unique, artisanal details, with implications for both consumer spending and retail strategy in the luxury sector.
The marquise diamond is poised for a major comeback, quickly becoming the centre stone of choice for both engagement and fashion rings. Damiani Jewellers is showcasing this elegant, elongated cut set in modern bezels or striking east-west orientations for a contemporary feel. This revival indicates a consumer appetite for distinctive, statement cuts that blend classic elegance with modern design, potentially influencing diamond sourcing and cutting practices industry-wide.
For those who adore layering, the perennial tennis necklace is re-emerging as the season's most coveted piece, having been the most requested item over the past holiday season. Whether worn as a brilliant statement on its own or layered amongst other gold necklaces, it offers effortless sophistication. The sustained demand for this item suggests a stable market for timeless, versatile luxury pieces, even amid shifting fashion cycles.
History is making a fashionable return with Georgian settings. Popular in the 1700s and 1800s, this intricate style, a unique combination of bezel and tiger claw settings, delivers a striking, antique look that adds character to any collection. This trend highlights a growing consumer interest in jewellery with historical narrative and artisanal craftsmanship, which may drive increased valuation for antique and reproduction pieces in the secondary market.
Finally, 2026 is the year of 'more is more' with maximalist stacks. Shoppers are embracing chunky, bold, and often unexpected layering across necklaces, bracelets, rings, and even earrings. This trend encourages creating layered looks that truly stand out and make a memorable, personal style statement. The embrace of maximalism signals a broader cultural shift toward expressive, individualized luxury consumption, which could lead retailers to curate and market pieces specifically for stacking, increasing average transaction values.
