Spring accessories is my favorite shopping category, and my most favorite subcategory is none other than jewelry. The season opens up so much opportunity to experiment with your outfits, and what better items to dress a look up then jewelry? I find that adding even one piece, whether it be 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 a few trends over the past few weeks, scrolling through Instagram to gain inspiration for what spring jewelry trends to try next. Luckily, I've found a few that are It trend worthy for the season. If you're also one the hunt for new jewelry trends to try this spring, keep scrolling through to find the trends I've discovered, and shop each trend.
Toe Rings
If there's one trend that I'd call an It girl trend, it's a toe ring. This trend has been on my radar since they 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, plain 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 someones shoes, and it feels like a boho-chic, intention addition to an outfit.

Pearl Necklaces
I love a classic, timeless trend coming back into the fashion scene, and pearl necklaces are definitely back for the long-run. This trend never really went out of style per se, but now it's more widely worn by chic influencers. They give 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 and they're imperfect sheen are always welcome in my closet. From imperfect to perfectly round, here's my current peal necklace wishlist.

Beaded Necklaces
The runways, namely Chanel, Celine, and Ralph Lauren, have already spoken that beaded necklaces are, in fact, an It jewelry trend for 2026, and Instagram influencers are already catching onto the trend. Beaded necklaces also had a big moment last summer, but fashion people are clearly not ready to let it go just yet. They've been mostly styled with casual outfits, often light layers for the warmer seasons like sheer linens, 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 with a beaded necklaces. And if you're not one to wear much color, then white or clear beaded necklaces are also an option to add texture to an outfit.
I want to add a few more beaded necklaces to layer with my otther necklaces, here are some of my top picks that I couldn't dare gatekeep.

Modern Tennis Bracelets
You can never go wrong a tennis bracelet to dress up an outfit. I've always been a fan of the luxurious jewelry trend, but lately I've noticed a modern take on the trend. 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 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 Sophia Grainge have been spotted sporting the trend, and that's all the confirmation I needed to know modern tennis bracelets are a major chic trend of the season.

Pinky Rings
Pinky rings are so back this season, 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 the infamous pinky ring. The likes of Hailey Bieber and Emily Ratajkowski have been spotted wearing the trend, and the way they've been styled lately on Instagram has been living in my head rent-free. If you're sporting 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 either, simple gold or silver bands do the trick just as much as a large gem or diamond. Shop my top picks from simple to maximalist pinky rings 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 I find that sculptural earrings elevate the spring outfits I put together. The S/S 26 runway collections, 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 on Instagram have also been seen sporting the trend, dressing up their outfits like the look below. Even the most basic of outfits looks 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 I have events or dinners to attend, I'm wearing a pair with a cocktail dress.
There's a plethora of ways I'm imagining wearing a pair of 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. Here are some of my selections below.
