Jewelry & matching rings for couples Trends
Welcome to 2026. A new year means that new trends will be in fashion. What can you expect from this New Years? We asked our product developers and designers.
East-West is a Strong Region
East-West rings are a style that has grown in popularity over the past year. The matching couple jewelry styles are endless. Whether they have accented or simple bands, large or small carats, or any type of metal, we love the new twist on classic looks. Emerald cut is most popular but Radiant Cut, Oval Cut, Pear Cut and Marquise are all stylish.
But it’s more than just couples necklaces! East-West Necklaces provide a stylish way to wear a pendant. They can be worn every day to dress up or for casual wear. Bridesmaids have been seen wearing them at weddings. Gorgeous!
Royally-Inspired Three-Stones
Meghan Markle is the future Princess of England, and three stone rings have gained in popularity. The classic style is symbolic: The stones are the past present and future in a relationship. As with Ms. Markle’s Ring, which features a Cushion Cut Center flanked by Round Cut Stones, you can change the stone shapes until you get the look that you like. While three Princess or Round cuts will always be classic, choosing unique shapes like Ovals or Marquises for the center or Triangles for either side or a cluster made of three Emeralds can have a modern feel while still feeling classic.
The Rise of Oval & Pear
Modern brides are more likely to choose an engagement ring which stands out. Although round stones remain the most popular shape, trends are showing more and fancy cuts for solitaires as well as three stone and halos. Ovals and Pears are in high demand, and it’s not hard to see why. These oblong and gently rounded shapes can be flattering to almost anyone. And both cuts maximize their carat weight. Double score!
Jewelry is no exception. Pear- and oval-cut studs have become popular everyday styles. These fancy shapes are appearing everywhere, from necklaces and eternity bands.
Trend tip: Marquise gemstones will be popular in 2026.
Carat Weights Are Getting Bigger
Carat weights have increased in size for everything from earrings and engagement rings. Carat weights are increasing in powerful studs, bold eternity rings, large cocktail rings and, of course, large engagement ring. But these larger-carat weight pieces won’t be kept in a drawer for a special event; these are everyday staples.
Warm Gold Tones
Although white gold was once the most common color for engagement ring and fine jewelry, in recent years rose gold became more popular. It started out as a fashion trend but, over time, has become a timeless color. This new love of rose gold has brought back yellow gold to be a fashionable yet timeless color for fine jewelry. Mixing metals into bridal and jewelry pieces has also allowed you to try new metals, instead of matching each piece to your wedding metal.
