Quiet minimalism is giving way to a new visual narrative. In contemporary fine jewelry, a paradigm shift is emerging for the coming year: the return of mani jewelry and sculptural forms that do not go unnoticed. At
Relojería Alemana, we analyze the three aesthetic currents that will define 2026, where
Setenta y Nueve
stands at the forefront—fusing architecture, exceptional cutting techniques, and the soul of the Mediterranean.
1. Sculptural Jewelry: When Design Dominates Space
The first trend is the conquest of volume. Earrings are no longer a mere accessory; they have become the absolute protagonists, dominating the anatomy with shapes that defy gravity.
At
Setenta y Nueve, we interpret this trend with jewelry that stands out. The
rose gold and
diamond climbing earrings from the
Esencia collection climb up the earlobe, creating a sparkling
line reminiscent of a vine. This interplay of shapes is complemented by the
white gold earrings with
marquise-cut diamonds from the
Gala collection, —an ode to sophistication where each
facet captures eternal brilliance—and the
rose gold fan earrings with diamonds, which
stand out for their architectural design and magnetic elegance.
2. Jewelry with Large-Cut Gemstones: Designs with Character
We are leaving behind discreet minimalism to make way for more striking geometric shapes. In today's fine jewelry, a clear shift is taking place:
the return of large-scale cuts and designs with a strong presence.
An aesthetic is prevailing where
diamonds and gemstones not only adorn, but also create pieces with structure and volume.
This season, the trend revisits
pure architecture through classic cuts reinterpreted with a modern twist. The
emerald cut, featured in pieces like this
rose gold ring,
returns to take center stage once again.
In parallel, there is a
pronounced celebration of volume. Center stones are no longer discreet; they have become the very axis of the piece. We see this trend exemplified by the
oval-cut morganite surrounded by diamonds: generous cuts that capture
the light from every angle.
Finally, the trend is to break away from symmetry. We leave behind the static to seek movement. Organic shapes are taking the lead, such as those in this
asymmetrical white gold ring, where
pear-shaped and brilliant-cut
diamonds seem to float freely. It is the trend of natural harmony—a sophistication that proves perfection does not need to follow straight lines.
3. The Narrative of Color: A Tribute to the Mediterranean
If geometry defines form, color defines emotion. For 2026, the palette becomes
vibrant, organic, and deeply evocative. At
Setenta y Nueve, this trend originates from
Sa Marina—a collection inspired by the cove of Valldemossa and the
founders' childhood memories, transforming the essence of the island into tangible jewelry.
Deep blue, a symbol of the calm sea, takes center stage in pieces such as the
white gold ring
with diamonds and sapphires.This color, inspired by the Balearic Sea, brings a timeless elegance that never goes out of style.
In contrast, the trend also celebrates
exuberant vitality through bold combinations. The
rose gold
ring with multicolor gemstones is the embodiment of coastal joy: a sequence of stones that act as prisms of light, bringing a touch of freshness to fine jewelry.
And because the Mediterranean is also about vegetation and earth, intense greens claim their place.
Long earrings
featuring tsavorites and green tourmalines capture the wild spirit of the coast. These are fluid designs where the gemstones stand out for their graceful drape, achieving a perfect balance between
the elegance of the jewel and the essence of nature.
