Jewellery Trends Autumn/Winter 2027/28: What's next? In short: Autumn/Winter 2027/28 stands for fewer but larger pieces: architectural gold forms, a single oversized piece per look, dark stones like onyx and hematite, the black and gold combination, hammered surfaces, botanical motifs, and stacked hoops. Yellow gold remains the dominant hue.

The fashion season moves quickly, and it's exciting for jewellery lovers to know what’s coming next. We have evaluated the international shows, street style reports, and trend forecasters: These are the jewellery trends for Autumn/Winter 2027/28.
Macro-trend: "New Opulence"
After years of minimalism, the pendulum is swinging back, but this time with more awareness. "New Opulence" is not maximalism for its own sake, but consciously chosen lavishness. A few, but truly elaborate-looking pieces, combined with clean outfits. The statement comes from the jewellery, not the outfit.
Trend 1: Architectural gold jewellery
Geometric, almost architectural gold shapes dominate AW 27/28. Angular studs, boxy pendants, rectangular hoops, tube bracelets. The look: Bauhaus meets Haute Joaillerie. No organic flow, but instead clear angles and deliberate structures. Those who want to test the direction without a big budget can choose the Circle cuff bracelet from €33.95 and the narrow twisted ring from €28.95.
Trend 2: Oversized single pieces
Fewer pieces, greater impact. AW 27/28 is about wearing a single oversized piece, with the rest of the look kept minimal. A ring that covers half the finger. A necklace with significantly thicker links. An earring that reaches the shoulder. Maximum impact through minimum quantity. Practically speaking, this means a single piece like the wide circle hoop from €37.95 or the link chain with wide links from €37.95, while the rest of the look remains bare.
Trend 3: Dark Glamour, Onyx, Hematite, Graphite
Dark stones for the dark season: Black onyx, shiny hematite, anthracite stones in polished silver or yellow gold. The look: Mystery and strength. Dark glamour jewellery is the opposite of bright summer pastel stones, intentionally dark, consciously dramatic.
Trend 4: Bicolor 2.0 (Black and Gold)
The strongest colour combination of the season: Matte black + polished yellow gold. Onyx pieces in gold settings, black enamelled pendants with gold details, black and gold hoops. Incredibly elegant and classic, a combination that works equally well for evening and everyday wear.
Trend 5: Textured Metals, Hammered, Ribbed, Notched
Smooth, polished surfaces are being displaced by deliberate textures. Hammered looks with uneven surfaces, ribbed ring bands, notched chains. The texture catches light differently than polished metal, creating a luminous, non-reflective sparkle.
Trend 6: Nature Morte Jewellery, Botanical Motifs
Autumn-inspired botany: leaf shapes, acorn pendants, botanical stamp engravings, chestnut-like forms. The look is organic, seasonal, and very Instagram-friendly. Especially strong in yellow gold with a matte surface.
Trend 7: Maximum Hoop Stack
Multiple hoops through multiple ear piercings, the ear curation trend enters its next round in AW 27/28. Three to four hoops of varying sizes on one ear: the smallest at the top, the largest at the bottom. You can build the stack using small hoops from €29.95, the 5 cm hoops, and the Ear Cuff Ear Lines from €27.95, without needing new piercings.
Which metals dominate AW 27/28?
- Yellow Gold: Remains dominant, warming against the autumn/winter palette
- Oxidised Silver: For dark glamour looks and vintage inspiration
- Bicolor Gold/Black: The trend colour combination of the season
What becomes truly wearable at Corelune from these seven directions are the formats: wide hoops, a single large chain link, the open bangle. Dark stones and oxidised silver are not part of the assortment; to be honest, that is better than pretending Corelune has everything. What Corelune does have is stainless steel that looks as good after three winters as it did on the first day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which jewellery colour suits dark winter outfits?
Warm yellow gold, because the contrast with black, bordeaux, and dark green is the greatest. Silver-coloured pieces disappear faster on dark fabric, appearing calmer against grey and navy. If you combine both, place the gold-coloured piece at the front and the silver-coloured one on your wrist.
Is it worth buying trends two seasons in advance?
For formats, yes; for motifs, no. A wide hoop or a chunky link chain will still work in 2029. Botanical motifs and colour themes typically run for two to three seasons and appear dated afterwards. Therefore, it is better to prioritise the basics and buy the motif piece late and affordably.
How many hoops are needed for an ear stack?
Three are enough for the effect; four is the maximum. Important is the size gradient from top to bottom and a uniform metal tone. If you only have one ear piercing, replace the upper positions with an ear cuff; it looks identical from two metres away.
How long does shipping take and how much does it cost?
Shipping originates from the Netherlands and generally takes a few working days. It is free for orders over 59 euros; otherwise, a flat shipping fee applies. You have 14 days after receipt to return items.
