Although October is only coming to an end, now is the perfect time to start thinking about what you want to wear during the holiday season and to welcome the New Year. If you have already more or less thought out your look, we suggest exploring what jewelry can complement it.
Based on the recent showcases of new collections during the Fashion Weeks in New York, London, Milan, and Paris, statement jewelry is making a comeback along with maximalist aesthetics. The selection for early 2026 will also be quite broad, as evidenced by luxury brands in both the autumn-winter and the very fresh spring-summer collections. If you are also already thinking about how to stylishly update your jewelry wardrobe for the upcoming holidays, we invite you to explore some of the most relevant options with us.
Long Necklaces
The first statement piece, like many other jewelry items and costume jewelry included in this selection, aligns not only with the maximalist aesthetic but also with the trend towards boho style. Long, bright necklaces made from small, colorful elements were showcased this season by brands such as Celine, Tory Burch, and Anna Sui: their interpretation of this trend often features jewelry that falls even slightly below the chest, helping to emphasize the lightness and even a certain nonchalance of the look.
Oversized
Of course, it is impossible to imagine maximalism in the market without oversized jewelry featuring large stones that can be seen from literally the other end of the room. This season, earrings are particularly popular among all options, which stylists and designers recommend choosing to be as contrasting as possible to the rest of your look. Examples of successful combinations can be seen from brands that recently showcased their collections: Saint Laurent, Lanvin, and Bottega Veneta.
Layering
If you want to create a look that is not only maximalist but also trendily nonchalant and slightly reminiscent of hippie or boho aesthetics, you should prefer options where several pieces of jewelry are concentrated in one area. For example, the brand Givenchy suggests wearing several necklaces together, the brand Chanel presents an option with a pair of contrasting bracelets, while Jean Paul Gaultier does not limit itself to just two pieces of jewelry — a suitable option can be found for every taste.
Tinsel, Fringe, and Fireworks
Another element of nostalgic hippie culture that has returned to fashion in 2025 and, judging by the recent shows during Fashion Weeks, will remain with us in 2026 is fringe in its various manifestations. In the jewelry industry, brands offer both the classic "dangling" option that we have already seen on bags and shoes, as well as a unique option — the fireworks model; it can be found, for example, at the brand Chanel.
