Trend Report: Your Guide to the Hottest Jewelry Looks from the JCK Show in Las Vegas

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:

• Penny Preville Evil Eye Diamond and Sapphire Pendant: Express yourself with this evil eye pendant that is believed to offer protection as you wear it.
• Hulchi Belluni Locked Heart Beaded Stretch Bracelet: A charm bracelet personalizes any bracelet stack, and this locked heart piece offers a meaningful centerpiece on the wrist.
• EF Collection Dream Charms Necklace: Featuring a moon, the word "Dream" and a star, this necklace offers a personalized touch with its three charms.

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:

• Marco Bicego Lunaria Large Gold Diamond Ring: The hammered finish of this ring, its wide band and brilliant diamond accents command attention.
• Kwiat Cobblestone Gold and Diamond Locket Pendant Necklace: This eye-catching gold chain showcases a large circular pendant with a diamond cobblestone design.

• Marco Bicego Jaipur Gold Oval Link Bracelet: This chunky link bracelet is hand-engraved, giving it a brushed texture.

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, necklaces and more, including:

• Refined by Razny Mixed-Shape Diamond Tennis Bracelet: The variety of diamond cuts in this bracelet makes it a twist on the classic jewelry piece.
• Refined by Razny Mixed-Shape Diamond Center Tennis Necklace: The mixed-shape stones at the center of this necklace give it an unexpected touch.
• Refined by Razny Marquise Diamond East-West Tennis Bracelet: The east-west-set diamonds are key trends this year, and this tennis bracelet exemplifies the reimaged look of the classic tennis bracelet.

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:

• Hulchi Belluni Beaded Stretch Bracelets: Featuring delicate gold beads and diamond accents, these stretch-fit designs offer effortless elegance and everyday comfort.

• 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.

• Piranesi Bezel-Set Smoky Quartz Rose Gold Bracelet: Smoky quartz gems are bezel-set in rose gold, adding color to your jewelry wardrobe.
• Sethi Couture Marquise Illusion Eternity Wedding Band: The marquise illusion setting of this band provides a vintage-inspired look.
• Refined by Razny Bezeled Pear-Shaped Diamond Tennis Necklace: This tennis necklace has two unexpected elements: pear-shaped diamonds and a yellow-gold bezel setting.
