Jewelers recommend a cool palette for winter looks in 2025-2026

The 2025/26 season in jewelry fashion is defined by a cool and contrasting palette. The key colors are the shades of metals and stones associated with the winter atmosphere: icy blue tones, deep blue and purple colors, platinum and silver notes, as well as rich berry accents. Kabarovsky Jewelry House experts told Izvestia on December 5 that such a range perfectly complements a multi-layered winter wardrobe and creates expressive accents.

According to forecasts by the international Pantone and WGSN color institutes, the dominant shades of the season will be deep blue-green Lyons Blue and emerald Transformative Teal, symbolizing freshness and connection with nature. Ruby and purplish purple are also on trend.

"The cold color palette of the winter season makes metals with the appropriate undertone favorites. White gold and platinum blend perfectly with the icy shades of stones and fabrics, emphasizing the depth and purity of the color. Silver, due to its reflective properties, creates the effect of frosty radiance," the experts of the jewelry brand say.

In winter collections, more muted, matte versions of yellow gold are also relevant, which are combined with burgundy and wine shades of clothing. Rose gold is recommended for soft pastel images, combining it with transparent stones to create the effect of sunlight on snow. A mix of metals within the framework of a single jewelry design remains a fashionable trend, which allows you to create holistic, but not overloaded compositions.

"Aquamarine and blue topaz, which are associated with crystal clear winter purity, as well as amethyst and garnet, which give a rich color accent, are in special demand among the stones. Labradorite with iridescences resembling the northern Lights and smoky quartz remain in the trend," the experts said.

To match the winter aesthetic, jewelers actively use sophisticated techniques such as scanning, which creates delicate "frosty" patterns, as well as various types of artistic enamel, which adds depth and nobility to the color.

Winter textures — dense cashmere, wool, and velvet — allow you to wear more voluminous and expressive jewelry, including cocktail rings and long earrings. For evening outings, experts recommend products with glossy surfaces and precious stones that play in artificial light, and for everyday wear, more restrained models with a matte finish.

On October 6, stylist Vladislav Lisovets spoke about the trend for faux fur coats. According to him, it is convenient to wear jackets under such voluminous sheepskin coats, which are also on trend now, and vintage fur coats from second-hand stores will perfectly fit into the current look. It is worth combining insulated outerwear with elegant shoes and bright accessories to make the cold winter look stylish.
