Spring accessories are my favorite shopping category, and my favorite subcategory is none other than jewelry. The season opens up so much opportunity to experiment with your outfits, and adding even one piece, whether it’s a ring or a necklace, can dress up an outfit instantly. If there’s one essence I want to emulate this season, it’s the energy of chicness. I’m talking about effortless, sophisticated, and polished looks, which can always be achieved with jewelry, no matter how basic an outfit may be.
I’ve been eyeing trends over the past few weeks, scrolling through Instagram to gain inspiration for what spring jewelry to try next, and I’ve found a few that are worthy for the season. If you’re also on the hunt for new jewelry trends to try this spring, keep scrolling to find the trends I’ve discovered and shop each one.
Toe Rings
If there’s one piece that I’d call an It-girl trend, it’s a toe ring. This trend has been on my radar since it hit the scene last summer. I was obsessed and needed one for myself. I love the different iterations of the trend, from toe rings with maximalist gems to simple gold ones to wear with open-toe shoes. If strappy sandals are your go-to for spring, then toe rings are the perfect accessory to wear with them. It’s a nice surprise when you look down at someone’s shoes, and it feels like a boho-chic, intentional addition to an outfit.

Pearl Necklaces
I love a classic, timeless trend coming back into the spotlight, and pearl necklaces are definitely back for the long run. This trend never really went out of style, but now, it’s widely worn by chic influencers. It gives any outfit a polished, Parisian energy to emulate, like this look below. Pearl necklaces, IMHO, elevate outfits to their fullest potential. As a Gen Z fashion editor, I find that this is the perfect trend to add to my closet, as it won’t ever go out of style. I also love that pearls don’t have to be perfectly round to be chic. Freshwater pearls’ imperfect sheen is always welcome in my closet. From imperfect to perfectly round, here’s my current pearl-necklace wish list.

Beaded Necklaces
The runways—namely Chanel, Celine, and Ralph Lauren—have already spoken. Beaded necklaces are, in fact, an It jewelry trend for 2026, and Instagram influencers are catching on. Beaded necklaces also had a big moment last summer, but fashion people are clearly not ready to let them go just yet. They’ve been mostly styled with casual outfits, often light layers for the warmer seasons. Think sheer linen, flowy blouses, and low-cut tops with skirts and heeled sandals similar to the outfit below. I enjoy the colorful aspect of beaded necklaces, in particular. You can add a pop of color to a simple look instantly, and if you’re not one to wear much color, then white or clear beaded necklaces are an option that’ll add texture to an outfit.
I want to add a few beaded necklaces to layer with my other necklaces. Here are my top picks that I couldn’t dare gatekeep.

Modern Tennis Bracelets
You can never go wrong with a tennis bracelet to dress up an outfit. I’ve always been a fan of the luxurious jewelry trend, but lately, I’ve noticed Gen Z fashion people are sporting it with casual outfits like T-shirts paired with jeans and pointed-toe heels and even layering the bracelet in a jewelry stack. Usually, I’d see tennis bracelets styled on a bare wrist with no other jewelry taking up space, but they are becoming less of a quiet luxury trend and moving away from minimalism with this modern styling take. Cool girls Hailey Bieber and Sofia Richie Grainge have been spotted wearing the trend, and that’s all the confirmation I needed to know that modern tennis bracelets are a major trend of the season.

Pinky Rings
Pinky rings are so back, and I’m very happy about it. The trend had a major moment last year, and from the looks of it, It girls aren’t ready to let go of it. The likes of Hailey Bieber and Emily Ratajkowski have been spotted wearing the trend, and the way women have been styling it lately on Instagram has been living in my head rent-free. If you have a manicure and want to make it pop even more, try wearing a pinky ring with your stack or maybe just the one pinky ring for an intentional outfit detail. What I love most about pinky rings is they don’t have to be super fancy. Simple gold and silver bands do the trick just as much as a large gem or diamond. Shop my top picks, from simple to maximalist, to add to your jewelry collection.

Sculptural Earrings
Sculptural earrings are my favorite jewelry trend for spring. I love feeling like I’m wearing pieces of art in an outfit, and sculptural earrings elevate the spring outfits I put together. The spring/summer 2026 runway collections of Ferragamo, Givenchy, and Brandon Maxwell featured sculptural earrings to complement their luxurious outfits, so it’s safe to say that this trend is going to be major this season. Influencers have also been dressing up their outfits with sculptural earrings. Even the most basic outfits look more polished and intentional with a pair of sculptural earrings. I’m wearing my pair with a simple tank, barrel pants, and pointed-toe heels for a casual look, but on those days when I have events and dinners to attend, I’m wearing a pair with a cocktail dress.
There’s a plethora of ways I’m imagining wearing sculptural earrings, and I can’t wait to put all the looks together. I already have a few pairs in my Rolodex of jewelry, and I’d like to add more to my collection. My selections are below.
