Summer Jewellery Trends 2026
Summer 2026 is here, and with it comes a fresh wave of jewellery trends that are all about effortless elegance, bold statements, and pieces designed to be lived in. Whether you're heading to the beach, brunching with friends, or enjoying long summer evenings, here are the jewellery trends defining this season.
1. Textured Metals Take Centre Stage
Smooth, polished gold is taking a backseat to textured, dimensional pieces this summer. Think herringbone patterns, rope chains, and organic finishes that catch the light in unexpected ways.
The Remarqué Edit:
Our Zahra Earrings embody this trend perfectly with their textured herringbone pattern and sculptural shape. They're bold, dimensional, and designed to turn heads.
How to Wear It:
Pair textured pieces with simple, clean outfits - white linen, denim, or slip dresses. Let the texture do the talking.
2. Layered Necklaces (Still Going Strong)
Necklace layering isn't going anywhere - if anything, it's getting more refined. This summer, it's all about mixing lengths and textures with intention, creating a curated look that feels personal and effortless.
The Remarqué Edit:
Start with the Petite Necklace as your base layer, add the Audrey Necklace for a touch of iridescence, and finish with The Cadena for bold impact.
How to Wear It:
Three is the magic number - vary your lengths by 5-8cm and mix delicate with bold. Check out our full layering guide for more tips.
3. Pearls Get a Modern Update
Pearls are having a major moment, but forget everything you know about traditional pearl jewellery. This summer, pearls are organic, imperfect, and paired with modern gold designs for a fresh, contemporary look.
The Remarqué Edit:
The Margot Necklace features delicate freshwater seed pearls with a cubic zirconia accent - it's feminine, organic, and pairs just as well with jeans as it does with a dress. The Del Mar Ring showcases a single natural freshwater pearl in a wavy, organic band.
How to Wear It:
Mix pearls with other gold pieces for a modern, layered look. Don't be afraid to wear them casually - pearls aren't just for special occasions anymore.
4. Bold Hoops Make a Statement
Oversized, sculptural hoops are everywhere this summer. But it's not just about size - it's about shape, texture, and unique details that make them feel special.
The Remarqué Edit:
Zahra Earrings bring bold hoop energy with their textured finish and flower-inspired shape. They're lightweight enough for all-day wear but impactful enough to elevate any outfit.
How to Wear It:
Keep everything else minimal when wearing bold hoops. Hair up or tucked behind your ears, simple outfit, and let your earrings be the star. See our statement earring guide for more styling tips.
5. Stacking Rings (More is More)
Ring stacking continues to dominate, but this summer it's about mixing styles - delicate bands with statement pieces, smooth with textured, simple with ornate.
The Remarqué Edit:
Start with Elyse Ring for an instant stacked look, add the organic Del Mar Ring, and finish with a bold piece like Valentina for maximum impact.
How to Wear It:
Distribute rings across multiple fingers for a balanced look, or stack 3-5 on one finger for drama. Odd numbers work best.
6. Lariat Necklaces for Versatility
Lariat necklaces are the ultimate summer piece - they're adjustable, versatile, and can be styled multiple ways depending on your outfit and mood.
The Remarqué Edit:
The Vera Necklace features nine round-cut cubic zirconia stones with a pear-cut focal point. Wear it short for a delicate look or long for drama - it adapts to whatever your day brings.
How to Wear It:
Short and layered for daytime, long and solo for evening. Experiment with different lengths to find what works for your neckline.
7. Mixed Metals (Breaking the Rules)
The old rule about not mixing metals? Officially retired. This summer is all about intentionally blending gold, silver, and rose gold for an eclectic, personal look.
The Remarqué Edit:
While our pieces are crafted in 18k gold vermeil, don't be afraid to mix them with silver or rose gold pieces you already own. The key is doing it intentionally, not accidentally.
How to Wear It:
Start with one metal as your base (like our gold vermeil) and add one or two pieces in a different metal. Keep the overall look balanced and cohesive.
8. Everyday Luxury
Perhaps the biggest trend of all? Jewellery that's designed to be worn every day, not saved for special occasions. Summer 2026 is about pieces that feel luxurious but are durable enough for real life - beach days, pool parties, and everything in between.
The Remarqué Edit:
Every piece in our collection is crafted in 18k gold vermeil specifically for this reason. From the Petite Necklace to the Timeless Watch Band, these are pieces meant to be lived in.
How to Wear It:
Stop saving your jewellery for "someday." Wear your favourite pieces now - to the beach, to brunch, to run errands. Just remember to remove them before swimming or showering (check our care guide).
