Every year, the jewelry world comes together at the JCK show in Las Vegas, the most important event for uncovering the styles that will define the months and years ahead. It’s where designers reveal their latest creations and the future of fine jewelry takes shape. As your family’s trusted jeweler for nearly 75 years, Razny Jewelers stays connected to the pulse of the industry. Our experts were onsite exploring the newest collections and identifying the trends that will influence what’s next. Here’s a look at what caught our attention:
Personalized storytelling with charms
The desire for personal, customizable jewelry is stronger than ever. Charm necklaces and bracelets are back in a major way, allowing you to design your own story. Start with a gold chain and add charms (e.g., symbols, initials and milestones) that fit your personality and style.
Some of our favorites include:
Make a golden statement
Yellow gold is shining brighter than ever. The trend leans toward pieces that have a satisfying weight and a major presence. Think chunky link chains, sculptural bracelets and bold rings that stand on their own but also pair well with others.
For example, a single, substantial gold chain can add polish to a simple T-shirt and blazer, while a statement piece becomes the focal point of any look. Here are some pieces that capture this vibe:
Serving up new tennis bracelets and necklaces
The classic diamond tennis necklace and bracelet are getting a makeover. While the traditional round brilliant will always be in style, the latest trend sees a stunning mix of diamond shapes. Designers are combining oval, pear, emerald and marquise-cut diamonds into a single layout that feels like a piece of art.
To embrace this trend, look for mixed-shape or east-west diamond bracelets, drop earrings, necklace and more, including:
Maximalist stacks you won’t stop wearing
The minimalist rules of the past have given way to a maximalist style. The "more-is-more" philosophy was everywhere at JCK, encouraging creative layering and stacking. The key is to create a personal mix of pieces that feels authentic to you.
Layer chains of different lengths and textures. Start with a long medallion, add a mid-length tennis necklace and finish with a choker-length gold chain. Stack a vintage bangle next to a modern tennis bracelet with sideways-set diamonds.
Don't be afraid to mix yellow, white and rose gold. A mixed-metal stack looks intentional, chic and in style. You can achieve this look with picks from these brands:
- Chimento Cuffs and Bangles: Known for bold silhouettes and polished finishes, these Italian-made pieces reflect light beautifully and layer with ease.
- Messika Move Noa Bangles: Messika is known for its signature floating diamonds, which are featured in the stackable bracelets of its Move Noa collection.
Vintage and bezel settings
In both fashion and bridal, the past is inspiring the present. Antique and vintage jewelry reflect the trends of earlier eras: Georgian, Victorian, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Modernist, Retro and beyond. This trend also reflects the renewed popularity of the bezel setting, a technique that dates back to ancient times. Early jewelers used a thick metal rim to fully encase gemstones, offering security and practicality.
Today, the bezel appeals for the same reasons but also its clean lines and modern symmetry. Here are a few bezel-set pieces that bring this style into everyday wear and engagement rings.
