I’m a writer working on a trend piece about what jewelry styles are in and out for summer 2026 based on insights from professional stylists and jewelers. I’m looking to speak directly with fashion stylists and jewelry designers or jewelers actively working in the industry. This piece will highlight trends that are in this summer and those that are out, according to industry professionals. For in trends, I’m looking for: Specific styles, materials, or pieces gaining popularity A brief explanation of why the trend is resonating now How to style or wear the piece in a modern way For out trends, I’m looking for: Styles that feel overdone or on the decline A suggested alternative or updated way to wear jewelry instead The piece will be inclusive of all genders and a range of personal styles. This will involve a short recorded phone interview (15–30 minutes), and I will send a brief question guide in advance to help you prepare. Please include your name, title, company, your availability over the next week, and any trends you’re currently seeing in your work.
