Elegance Evolved:
Clogau’s Must Have Pieces for 2026
It’s the New Year, and with it comes a forecast of this year’s trends in fashion. Jewellery trends in 2026 are showcasing a leap into bolder designs, whilst drawing inspiration from the charm of vintage pieces. 2025’s trends were both daring and sentimental; trends that are continuing into 2026.
Jewellery can be more than an adornment; it can be a language of its own, an apology, a proclamation of love, or a gift to a loved one on a special day. It celebrates milestones, expresses emotions, and becomes a lasting reminder of the moments that matter most, something that will never go out of fashion.
As trends come and go, Clogau remains a symbol of enduring style. Classic. Elegant. Iconic. Clogau.
The Looks You’ll Love In 2026
Silver’s Time to Shine
Gold has certainly enjoyed the spotlight in recent years, and 2025 saw a shimmering shift into silver jewellery, with 2026 forecast to continue this. Whilst true goldies may be dubious of stepping away from their metal monogamy, it is always fun to play with your style. With Clogau, we offer a stunning array of elegant silver designs, and we know our pieces will convince you gold-only wearers to take the silver leap!
The beauty of the silver resurgence is the playful art of mixing metals, in pairing gold and silver in one look to create contrast and a touch of individuality. Our Insignia Collection is perfect for this trend, offering a wide selection of designs to be mixed, matched, and stacked. For a fun and stylish combination, you can pair the Insignia 9ct Solid Gold Ring with the Insignia Sterling Silver Slim Band Ring. Stack these together to show off a two-tone look that is both modern and timeless.
Take a closer look at the silver renaissance with Clogau here, where every piece tells a story and no trend is ever just a phase.

A Layered Look
A love of layering jewellery remains in 2026 and we have made this trend effortlessly easy for you, with our Nature's Wonder Sterling Silver Beachcomber Layered Necklace with Pearl. This features a pendant and an additional choker-length chain, creating an elegantly exclusive look using a unique dual-length design.
For a more personalised take on layering, you can step into our Insignia Collection and pair the Insignia Sterling Silver Drop Necklace with the Insignia
9ct Solid Gold Drop Necklace, using the adjustable jump rings to style these pieces at different lengths. This creates a great contrast, with the delicate design of the two metals complementing each other beautifully. Layered necklaces are defining jewellery trends in 2026, why not let it define yours?

Vintage Revival
The rise of statement pieces has also brought forth a renewed interest in vintage styles. When it comes to fashion, vintage does not mean old, it means a pre-loved piece or design that is now treasured. In 2026, vintage is in, and with it comes a nod to our collections that have withstood the tests of time.
We have revived some of our older and bolder collections, such as the Royal Clogau® 9ct Solid Gold Welsh Dragon Signet Ring. This was first available in our Clogau 1993 Brochure under a slightly different design, and now displays the Welsh dragon in a rose gold motif. Also found in this brochure was the Welsh Honey Bee Collection, now reimagined with a stunning Citrine stone. This collection is all the buzz, and you can begin exploring it by checking out the Nature's Wonder 9ct Solid Gold Honey Bee Drop Earrings with Citrine.
The vintage resurgence was enjoyed by many in 2025, and this will continue into 2026, with younger generations rediscovering 90’s and 00’s fashions. Chokers were an adored part of this era, and we expect to see this style more in the coming year. Have fun with fashion with our Insignia Sterling Silver Charm Choker and the Nature's Wonder Sterling Silver Beachcomber Choker with Pearls!
At Clogau, we remember the pieces that make an impact, and we know you do too.
Unconventional Gemstones, Unforgettable Style
Gemstones are shaping up to be a must-have look in 2026, and we expect to see bold classics on the rise. This year, make it all about amethyst with The Royal Clogau® 9ct Solid Gold Delphinium Ring with Amethyst. Stay stylish in sapphire with our Royal Clogau® Sterling Silver Diana Affinity Bracelet with Sapphire & Topaz. You’ll adore aquamarine when donning the Promises 9ct Solid White Gold Ring with Oval-Cut Aquamarine & 0.5ct Lab-Grown Diamond.
Slightly more ‘unconventional’ gemstones will prove popular into 2026, with pearls leading the charge. Our Beachcomber Collection offers a selection of pieces with a range of pearl sizes, with a favourite being the Nature's Wonder Sterling Silver Beachcomber Choker with Pearls. Your simple styling choices can wholly change how your pearl necklace or choker is worn, whether your outfit is chic, romantic, elegant or sophisticated, a pearl piece is always a fun way to accessorise. We will be further exploring the captivating allure of pearls in the future, so please stay tuned!
At Clogau, we offer a selection of gemstone jewellery to fit your personality, let us help you find the piece that speaks to you.
Charmed, I’m Sure
Do charms ever really go out of fashion? We think no, and 2026 showcases the continuation of charms being a popular accessory choice. Charms have always been a great way to make your jewellery personal, showing in delicate detail your special interests, milestones in life, and character traits. This is jewellery with personality, what is better than it being your personality?
A particular trend that has proven popular this year is not only charm decorated bracelets, but necklaces also, with wearers leaning into the art of ‘DIY jewellery’. You can have this in our Insignia Collection, which offers a figaro-style charm necklace, choker
and bracelet. An exciting feature of the necklace and choker, is that they are able to be connected to form a longer chain for your wear. Complete the look with the Insignia Sterling Silver Heart Charm!

Go Out with A Bang(le)
Bangles trends were strong in 2025, and that momentum is carrying them into 2026, their bold and personal style a must-have for every style-savvy wardrobe.

Shine On, Your Way
The jewellery trends of 2026 mark a shift toward individuality to create something entirely personal. With an emergence of trends, comes the cooling off of others. Matching jewellery sets have taken a backseat in 2026, with mixing metals, asymmetry, and layering differing textures and colours taking a leap into the New Year.
We understand that fashion is deeply personal, and it is perfectly okay to step outside of trends that do not resonate to you. That is the beauty of jewellery: each piece tells a story, holds meaning, and reflects who you are. So, why not create your own ‘pick and mix’ from today’s trends? Blend the modern with the timeless, the bold with the meaningful, and showcase your own unique style.
Until next time, don’t be afraid to mix your metals, layer your favourites, and create a statement that truly lasts!
Stay stylish,
Lydia Carter.
