From Luminous Blue to sculptural statement jewellery
The new autumn/winter season is all about contrast. Calm colours sit alongside intense blue, natural materials are combined with polished metal and classic pearls are joined by large, sculptural shapes. Cloud Dancer brings calm to the colour palette with its soft white, while Luminous Blue creates a powerful accent. But there is much more happening. Wood, lace, transparent materials and natural stone add extra texture to jewellery, while gold and silver are confidently worn together. Personal symbols and unusual charms are also taking on a bigger role. Think luna moths, leaves, snakes or a pendant that looks like an everyday found object. Above all, the jewellery trends for autumn/winter 2026/2027 do not need to be perfect. Unexpected combinations are exactly what make a collection interesting and give you plenty of opportunities to create new lines.
What are the key trend colours for autumn and winter 2026-2027?
Cloud Dancer creates a calm foundation and appears in white and cream freshwater pearls, mother-of-pearl, transparent beads and crystal glass beads. Combine these light shades with silver for a cool look or add gold for extra warmth. On the other side of the palette is Luminous Blue. This intense cobalt blue is reminiscent of lapis lazuli and pairs beautifully with cream, camel, ochre and gold.
Earthy shades are also given plenty of space. Chocolate brown, taupe, sand, rust and terracotta complement materials such as wood, tiger’s eye and smoky quartz. Amazonite adds a softer colour accent. Natural stones do not need to be smooth or identical in shape either. Raw stones and irregular freshwater pearls fit perfectly within this trend.
The mix of hard and soft materials is another striking feature. Think of a large pendant on a faux leather cord or a belcher chain incorporating fabric, a scarf or lace. Transparent materials add lightness in between and give an earthy combination like this a more modern feel.
What are the most popular jewellery trends for autumn and winter 2026-2027?
Large, sculptural and layered are three words that sum up this season perfectly. Jewellery gains volume, texture and unusual shapes. Puffy hearts, anatomical hearts and drip shapes fit beautifully within this aesthetic. Extra-large earrings and statement earrings with geometric shapes and striking textures are also set to take an important place in jewellery collections.
Want to make your own statement earrings? Focus on playing with size and material. For example, combine a large organic stainless steel component with transparent beads or a striking natural stone. It does not need to be complicated. One unusual shape can be enough.
Long necklaces with one large pendant are also returning, while layering remains equally important. Combine delicate chains with chunky belcher chain, pearls and necklaces in different lengths. Mixing gold and silver is completely on-trend this season. Pair silver-coloured chains with gold-coloured details to create a striking statement in your jewellery collection. We see the same freedom in stacking rings and bangle bracelets. Everything does not have to match perfectly.
How do you personalise a charm necklace with symbols and found objects?
Making a charm necklace this autumn is not about choosing charms from the same collection. A mix of different shapes is precisely what makes it interesting. Charms inspired by everyday and found objects play an important role here. Think keys, everyday objects and other unexpected charms that look as though they have been collected over the years. Combine them with chunky belcher chain and add a freshwater pearl or coloured bead in between.
Symbols from nature also take on a darker, almost mysterious character. Luna moths, ravens, scarabs, leaves and striking snake motifs appear as pendants, charms and earrings. The Chinese zodiac also responds to the desire for jewellery with personal meaning. Birth flower jewellery fits this trend perfectly, too.
Pearls can easily be incorporated into this expressive trend. Try combining irregular freshwater pearls with a scarab, a puffy heart or a large snake. Crystal glass beads and transparent elements add extra shine. Classic alongside edgy and natural alongside metal. This turns a charm necklace into a truly personal collection rather than a perfectly coordinated set.
Which jewellery and accessories give an autumn/winter collection extra character?
Jewellery and accessories are increasingly becoming part of the complete outfit this season. Statement brooches are a perfect example. Wear large sculptural brooches on a blazer, chunky jumper or winter coat, as well as on a scarf or bag. Paired with faux fur, they create a distinctive winter look where different textures come together.
Bag charms also remain big. They're becoming more personal and a little more unconventional. Different charms, beads, cords and tassels can all hang together from one bag charm. For example, make a bag charm using macramé cord, a striking stainless steel charm and tassels in different materials. The less perfectly coordinated it is, the more interesting the result becomes.
A belcher chain combined with fabric, lace, or a scarf also fits this trend perfectly. These softer materials soften the hard metal's appearance. Barrettes and other hair accessories are another natural fit and make a fun addition to your jewellery collection. Present your handmade jewellery and accessories on jewellery cards that complement the collection so everything immediately feels cohesive.
The jewellery trends for autumn/winter 2026/2027 offer plenty of freedom to mix and match. Cloud Dancer alongside dark earthy shades, Luminous Blue as a powerful accent, wood with transparent beads or an irregular pearl next to a chunky bekcher chain. Add sculptural earrings, long necklaces, personal charms and statement brooches, and you can create very different lines from the same trends. From calm and natural to large and expressive. The mix of materials, symbols, and metals makes the season so interesting. Gold and silver can be combined, shapes do not need to be perfect, and a piece of jewellery can continue to evolve as new elements are added.
