These 5 Fall ’26 Jewelry Trends!
Dear Hot Friends,
Happy Halloween! Do you have your costume all figured out? Here in New York City, we’ve been awash in incredible Halloween decor for more than a month, and I swear it gets better every year! Check out the gallery below to see what I mean.
I’ve come to really appreciate Halloween for the much-needed escape it provides during these uncertain and difficult times. I mean, Election Day is Tuesday! I’m considering a costume that’s just a huge sandwich board screaming VOTE!
This week’s What’s Hot? brings you five of the top jewelry trends for Fall 2026. As you know, here at HOT, we believe jewelry gives you the most bang for your buck when it comes to breathing new life into your wardrobe. Many of these trends continue what we saw in spring and summer, and we’re delighted to see maximalism holding strong—and quiet luxury taking a back seat.
This fall is all about singular, high-impact pieces that make a statement, rather than layers of delicate, barely-there jewelry. Here are five trends to try, along with some HOT finds to help you get the look!
1. Feathers!
Feathers are one of the biggest—and most glamorous—jewelry trends of the season. What makes them feel fresh again is their versatility: we’re seeing them for both day and evening. And why not embrace two trends at once? A feathered brooch, like these from HOT, adds a little drama and personality to almost anything you wear. Pin one to a jacket, coat, or sweater and let it do the talking!
Feathers are this fall’s must-have. This oversized feather brooch brings an elegant, fashion-forward finish to any look—ideal on a jacket or coat lapel. In a happy shade of bright orange, it secures with a sturdy pin backing that fastens cleanly to most fabrics and stays comfortably in place all day or night. Measures 5.9" wide.
2. Collar and Pendant Necklaces
This fall, necklace trends are all about making an entrance. Sculptural, choker-length collars and bold pendants on cords or chains are designed to stand out against sweaters, crewnecks, and autumn knitwear. Forget hiding your jewelry beneath your clothes; this is the season to put it front and center! We have a great selection of vintage necklaces on the site that fit the bill beautifully.
A large topaz stone in a bejeweled bezel setting is held by a mixed link silver chain. By 80s designer Connie Bates, this striking necklace pairs with anything in your wardrobe from casual to dressy! 9 1/2” long.
Multi-layered necklace with vintage-inspired glass pearls and chain. It features a unique large silver coin. 22K gold plated over brass. Made in New York City. 10 1/2” long.
3. Chunky Chains
Bold, chunky chains are having their moment. Talk about quiet luxury taking a hit! Large links in silver or gold bring immediate impact to the neckline of a knit, button-down shirt, or even a simple T-shirt. Oversized, rounded, beveled, and hammered links are especially striking. This is one trend where bigger really can be better!
This bold gold oversized links bracelets delivers a real style statement! Lay with other bracelets for a great stacked look. Toggle closure fits most wrists. 8” long.
This oversized oval link necklace in sterling on a base of pewter is stunning! Wear it long or double it up for a chic collared look. 33” long with toggle closure.
4. Tassels
As jewelry moves away from quiet luxury and toward more exuberant self-expression, we’re loving the return of tassels. Whether dangling from necklaces or earrings, tassels add movement, texture, and a little playful drama. They’re also a great way to bring some curated chaos to your fall layers. Because sometimes, a little extra is exactly what an outfit needs!
This gorgeous gilded metal long necklace from French Jewelry company Gas is adorned with gemstones (Malachite, Tiger's eye, Turquoise, Wood), glass beads, and pearls. It ends with a very striking metallic pompom. 21” long and really special! Pre-owned and in perfect condition.
Made up of striking royal blue seed beads on gold, these danglers are eye catching and chic. 3 1/2” long and for pierced ears.
5. Bodacious Beads
Beads continue to top the jewelry trend lists for Fall 2026. After a summer filled with beads of every size, shape, and color, we’re not ready to give them up just yet! For fall, they’re often bigger, with richer, deeper, and darker colors that work beautifully with the season’s wardrobe. Whether you choose a bold necklace or a pair of statement earrings, beads are an easy way to add color, texture, and personality to your look.
Elevate your look with this bold, timeless beaded jade-green statement necklace. Featuring large, glossy marbled green beads with natural variations and swirls, this piece brings a striking yet sophisticated edge to any outfit. The adjustable gold-tone clasp ensures a perfect fit, whether you’re styling it with a chic evening dress or a casual daytime look. 18” long.
A stunning 5-strand necklace of glamorous jet beads by design star Kenneth Jay Lane, featuring a large gold-toned hook-and-eye clasp and bearing the designer’s signature. This bold, vintage piece combines dramatic black beads with luxe gold hardware for a timeless statement that elevates both evening and everyday looks. Ideal for layering or wearing solo, it showcases impeccable craftsmanship and unmistakable designer provenance. Slight wear at the clasp.
So, Hot Friends, which trend speaks to you? You don’t need a whole new wardrobe to give your fall style a lift. Sometimes all it takes is one fabulous piece of jewelry to change the entire mood of an outfit.
