There's something about winter fashion that invites you to go a little harder with jewellery. The knits, the layers, the darker palette… it all creates the perfect backdrop for pieces that have something to say. And this winter, there is plenty to say.

Here are the five trends worth paying attention to right now.

1. Layering and mixed metals

The old rule about sticking to one metal is well and truly gone. In 2026 the most interesting wrists, necks and ears are the ones that mix silver, rose and yellow gold freely. Think: fine chains AND chunky links for a result that feels personal and considered.

The key to getting mixed metals right is intention. It should look like you made a choice. Start with one anchor piece, something you wear every day and build around it. A yellow gold chain layered with a finer silver pendant. A rose gold ring stacked alongside a yellow gold band. Once you stop trying to match everything, the whole thing becomes a lot more fun.

Winter is the perfect season for this because the layers of clothing create natural opportunities to add jewellery at different points like a necklace that sits over a knit, a cuff that peeks out from a jacket sleeve or sparkly earrings against a dark coat collar.

2. Statement earrings

If there is one piece that is doing the most work in winter 2026 it is the statement earring. Oversized hoops, sculptural drops, interesting stacks - the earring has become the focal point of the whole look in a fun, current way. 

The beauty of a statement earring in winter is that it does the job your neckline can't. When everything from the neck down is covered in layers, your ears become the place where personality lives. A chunky gold hoop with a camel coat. A diamond drop with a simple black knit. A bold sculptural earring with your hair pulled back so nothing gets in the way. Perfection.

The current approach is to let the earring lead and keep everything else quieter. One strong earring moment per outfit is enough.

3. Chunky gold

Yellow gold is having a big moment and the chunkier the better. We’re talking thick chain necklaces, wide bangles and bold cuffs that get instantly noticed. 

There’s something about the weight and warmth of chunky gold against winter fabrics that just works. Throw a thick gold chain over a dark knit and that’s your whole look sorted. Add a bangle or two and you’re done. It’s one of those combinations that requires almost no effort but looks like it did.

If you’ve been waiting for a reason to invest in a really good gold piece, this is it.

4. Rich gemstone colours

If there was ever a season to wear a proper gemstone, it’s winter. There’s something about that deep sapphire blue, vivid emerald green and fiery ruby red that just makes sense against winter fabrics. These stones were practically made for this time of year.

The way people are wearing gemstones right now has shifted too. It's less about a delicate hint of colour and more about making the stone the whole point. One great gemstone piece worn with confidence and not much else, is all the outfit you need. 

Winter dressing gives you the perfect backdrop to let it shine.

5. Watches as jewellery

The watch has always been functional. In 2026 it is also very much fashion. 

What’s changed is how people are thinking about their wrist. Rather than the watch sitting alone as a practical afterthought, it’s now part of a considered stack aka something chosen to work alongside bracelets, bangles and chains. The wrist has become one of the most interesting places to express personal style right now, and the watch is right at the centre of that conversation. 

It sounds simple but it changes everything about how you get dressed. When your watch becomes part of the jewellery rather than separate from it, the whole look comes together differently… and this winter with all the layers and textures already happening, there has never been a better backdrop to get the wrist stack exactly right.
