As the days shorten and knitwear comes out of storage, it is the perfect moment to refresh your jewellery. Our round-up of autumn jewellery trends 2026 points in one clear direction: warmth, texture and pieces with personality. Think rich gold tones, organic shapes and a return to heirloom-style accessories.
Here are six looks we love this season, and how to make each one your own.
1. Warm gold everything
Gold is the metal of the season. Its warmth pairs naturally with autumn colours like camel, chocolate, rust and forest green. Gold vermeil gives you the rich look of gold with a sterling silver base underneath, which makes it ideal for pieces you want to wear every day. If you are new to it, our guide to gold vermeil jewellery explains what makes it different.
Gold Vermeil Leaves Pearls Drop Earrings. Fine gold vermeil branches with freshwater pearls, as autumnal as jewellery gets.
2. Sculptural baroque pearls
The perfectly round pearl has made way for something more individual. Baroque pearls, with their irregular, organic shapes, feel artistic and modern. Stick pearls, which are long and slender, are one of the most striking versions of this trend.
Stick Baroque Pearl Earrings. Elongated natural baroque pearls wrapped in fluid sterling silver, finished in gold vermeil or silver.
Stick Baroque Pearl Ring. An adjustable, sculptural open-band ring that makes a bold statement on its own.
3. The brooch revival
Brooches have moved well beyond grandmother's coat. This autumn, wear one on a blazer lapel, pinned to a chunky knit, clustered on a scarf or even on the strap of your bag. It is the easiest way to update outerwear you already own. Our guide on how to style a pearl brooch has plenty of ideas.

4. Rich gemstone colour
Autumn calls for deeper colour. Earthy stones such as tiger's eye and deep-blue lapis lazuli echo the tones of the season and look beautiful alongside the soft glow of pearls.
Gold Vermeil Tiger Eye and Pearl Sculptural Drop Earrings. Polished tiger's eye with a natural pearl in warm gold vermeil. The colours of autumn in one pair.

5. Symbolic motifs
Jewellery with meaning continues to grow in popularity. Snakes, stars, leaves and hearts all carry their own symbolism, turning a simple accessory into a personal talisman. Explore our Motif Edit to find a symbol that speaks to you.
Thin and Sleek Snake Hoops Earrings. A sleek serpent silhouette with pave zircon and a freshwater pearl drop. Day to evening.
6. Mixed metals
The old rule that you should never mix gold and silver is gone. Wearing both together feels relaxed and personal, and it means all of your jewellery works together.

How to wear autumn jewellery with knitwear
• Crew necks: Choose statement earrings rather than a necklace, which can get lost against the knit.
• V-necks: A pendant or lariat fills the neckline beautifully.
• Roll necks: Wear a long necklace over the top, or pin a brooch just below the collarbone.
• Chunky cardigans: A brooch adds interest and keeps the look polished.
