Trend Focus: The Bold Gold Edit
Bold gold designs deliver the versatility customers want –– elevated enough to stand out, easy enough to wear every day, and classic enough to fit within their collection as it grows. Whether they’re adding one statement piece or curating a full stack, customers across all style preferences can get behind the latest on-trend, metal-forward designs.
Metal Fashion Rings
Metal-forward rings are catching eyes with new shapes and smooth finishes that feel modern yet refined. Negative space designs bring a cool, minimal vibe, while domed styles offer a classic yet bold look. Whether worn alone for a simple statement or mixed together for impact, these rings give plenty of room to play with personal style.
How to Position This Trend
These rings are wearable statements — encourage stacking, mixing metals, and pairing with more delicate pieces. As perfect options for everyday styling or bold solo wear, they appeal to customers looking for trend-forward options that still feel personal and will last.
Statement Earrings
The rise of bold gold is also reshaping the earring category. These pieces balance wearability with presence — easy enough for everyday wear but eye-catching enough to start a conversation. From classic, oversized silhouettes to chain-inspired designs, these styles appeal to customers looking for something that goes beyond the everyday hoop, offering an easy way to make a statement that keeps their style preference in mind.
How to Position This Trend
Consider framing earrings as pieces with strong gift appeal, especially for occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and even self-purchases for your customers. Encourage stacking by showing how different silhouettes can be styled together. For example, displaying a bold hoop alongside stud earrings not only sparks inspiration but opens the door to easy upsells.
Layered Looks
Layering is a key driver behind this trend’s staying power, especially as customers gravitate toward mixable metals that they can personalize and evolve over time. Gold chains and bracelets, especially gold-filled options, allow customers to build a personalized stack that tells their story.
How to Position This Trend
Help customers explore layering by showing mixed textures, different lengths, and stacked bracelet styles. Whether in-store or online, curated stacks are a powerful visual tool, and styling 2–3 complementary pieces at varied lengths or weights can inspire full looks. This makes layering feel easy and curated — and builds cart value. For more tips, check out our recent stacking style guide.
