Men’s Jewelry Trends for Fall

Men’s jewelry this fall is dressier and more personal. Reporting from the Milan menswear shows, the Associated Press wrote, “From the red carpet to the runway, jewelry is becoming a central consideration for men’s wardrobes.”

For Cuban and curb chains, bracelet layering, stone-inlay pendants, and rings beyond the wedding band, see our guide to men’s jewelry trends and read on for what we’re wearing this fall and winter.

Key Takeaways

• Rings are in focus: US search interest in pinky and signet rings has roughly doubled since fall 2021, and ring stacks and vintage-inspired pieces are trending.
• Brooches and lapel pins are fall 2026’s standout men’s accessory, from the Emmys and the Venice Film Festival to the fall menswear runways.
• Fall layers call for bolder pieces: one substantial chain or medal, a bracelet stack beside your watch, and a dress watch with your tailoring.

Signet Rings, Pinky Rings, and Men’s Ring Stacks

In Google Trends, US search interest in pinky rings has roughly doubled since fall 2021, with signet rings close behind. British GQ’s senior style editor Mahalia Chang calls the pinkie ring “the original, hottest piece of jewelry a man can wear,” GQ reported after Robert Pattinson wore a small gold pinkie ring in The Odyssey, and J Balvin wore a yellow diamond pinky ring to the Venice Film Festival opening, per The Diamond Collective.

The signet ring once pressed its owner’s mark into the sealing wax on a document, according to the Victoria and Albert Museum, and GQ notes it is traditionally worn on the pinky of your least dominant hand. One jewelry executive told Business Insider he’s seeing men wear thicker rings with stones, British GQ’s ring guide features onyx, turquoise, and jasper, and Who What Wear says statement gemstone rings, from lapis pinky rings to amethyst cocktail rings, are gaining popularity across Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest.

At the Met Gala, Colman Domingo grouped several gold rings with a cuff and a link bracelet, per Galerie, and a look in WWD’s fall menswear fashion shoot pairs band rings in sterling silver and yellow gold with a yellow gold signet ring set with malachite. Signet rings and ring stacks are regulars in men’s style videos on TikTok. Start with a signet on your pinky and add a band on another finger.

Browse our men’s rings and mix and match. Stack our sterling silver cross signet with a black ceramic and yellow gold band, or with a black ceramic ring set in yellow gold with diamonds.

Vintage, Art Deco, and Victorian Influences in Men’s Jewelry

In its Emmys preview, Galerie said the more interesting shift in men’s red carpet jewelry was where the pieces came from: the past. Every watch on J.Press’s fall-winter runway came from a collection of 50 vintage pieces, GQ reported. Cameos are making another comeback, and carved intaglios got a boost this summer from The Odyssey, per JCK. On TikTok, Art Deco and Victorian-inspired pieces keep turning up in men’s jewelry videos.

Milgrain, a row of tiny metal beads along the edge of a ring, and engraved detail are the easiest ways to wear the look every day, and a band with either detail works as a wedding band or as the base of a ring stack. For what makes a piece Art Deco and how to style it, see our guide to styling Art Deco-inspired jewelry.

Chain Bracelet Stacks and Diamond Tennis Bracelets for Men

Men are “stacking pieces and mixing leather, multicolored beads, gemstones, gold, and silver,” a jewelry brand’s creative chairman told JCK, particularly in bracelets, and Pinterest’s 2026 Men’s Trend Report shows searches for “mens silver cuff bracelet” up 194% and “leather bracelet men” up 106%. On TikTok, chain bracelets stacked beside a watch are a staple of men’s style videos.

Build the stack around your watch: one chain bracelet beside it, then a second in a different link or metal. Our 14k gold and onyx bead bracelets add stone and bead texture, and our guide to mixing metals in layered stacks covers bracelet, necklace, and ring stacks.

These men’s chain bracelets stack with a watch and with each other: a yellow gold anchor link, a sterling silver box chain, and an oxidized sterling silver oval link.

National Jeweler’s holiday report says tennis bracelets and rivière necklaces are selling, and Jewelers of America’s Amanda Gizzi notes that both men and women are wearing rivière necklaces. Bracelets, led by tennis bracelets, brought in the highest revenue of any US jewelry category in the first half of 2026, with bracelet revenue up 14%, according to Tenoris. Our guide to wearing tennis necklaces and bracelets covers how to wear one.

St. Christopher Medals, Crosses, and One Substantial Chain

National Jeweler points to larger statement medallion pendants for holiday gifting, and saint medals and crosses show up again and again in men’s style videos on TikTok. As GQ puts it, a pendant can say anything “from the reverent to the rebellious,” and it tucks under layers when you want it low-key.

Hang the medal on one substantial chain. Searches for “men chain necklace” rose 351% in Pinterest’s men’s report, and National Jeweler reports white metals growing alongside yellow gold. Our men’s chains come in sterling silver, white gold, and yellow gold, our guide to jewelry chain types explains each link, and our cross jewelry guide covers choosing and styling a cross.

These 14k yellow gold pieces are a St. Christopher medal charm, a grooved cross charm pendant, and a crucifix pendant. See more in our cross jewelry.

Dress Watches With Fall Tailoring

About half of the Emmys watches Robb Report singled out were gold or diamond-set, Esquire spotted Carlos Alcaraz in a yellow-gold chronograph at the US Open, and Brad Pitt wore a vintage gold watch to the US Open women’s final. National Jeweler reported that smaller models made up half of the 10 fastest-appreciating Rolex references on one resale site, a trend the site’s owner says men and women are both embracing.

A dress watch on a brown leather strap is made for the season’s tailoring. One menswear buyer at the Paris fall shows saw long tailored coats “styled with shirts and ties” (WWD), and a retail executive told Footwear News that a broader range of browns is fresh in men’s dress shoes this fall. For how a watch sits with the rest of your jewelry, see our watch styling guide. You can see our watches in person at our select showrooms: Torrance, Pasadena, Arlington, Dallas, and Houston / Loop.

These men’s watches all sit on brown leather straps: a rose gold-tone automatic with a green dial, a 34 mm mechanical with Roman numerals, and a 40 mm automatic with a blue dial.

Why Brooches and Lapel Pins Lead Men’s Jewelry This Fall

At the Emmys in September, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Daniel Levy, and Paul W. Downs each added a floral brooch to otherwise classic tailoring, GQ Middle East reported, and Colman Domingo held his sash in place with a green tourmaline and diamond brooch, per National Jeweler. At the Venice Film Festival, Nicholas Galitzine swapped a bow tie for a sparkling brooch at the collar, CBC reported.

At Milan’s fall menswear shows, Dolce & Gabbana showed huge floral and watch brooches, and at Giorgio Armani some men wore tie pins on their lapels while male and female models wore matching brooches, AFP reported. Pinterest’s 2026 forecast predicts men will wear vintage pins and heirloom brooches, with searches for “brooch aesthetic” up 110%, National Jeweler reported. Look for unique, one-of-a-kind lapel pins at vintage stores.

Where Men’s and Women’s Fall Jewelry Trends Overlap

Fall 2026 “found menswear hewing closer to womenswear,” Vogue wrote after the men’s shows, and jewelry followed. Women’s fall runways traded dainty layered chains for one big necklace, Who What Wear reported, and a stylist told Business Insider that statement cuffs are a growing trend and suggested wearing one over a long sleeve.

This fall’s pearls are supersized and more irregular, the same stylist told Business Insider, and Vogue notes that much of the best men’s jewelry now features pearls, stones, and colorful beads. Ring stacking was one of the major trends on the women’s fall runways, per Vogue France, and Marie Claire lists pinky and signet rings, a masculine-leaning look, among the jewelry trends women are adopting in 2026.

Men’s Fall Jewelry by Style: Tailored, Prep, Workwear, Rock, and Western

The easiest way to choose is to match your jewelry to how you already dress.

• Tailored. Ties are “returning to necks everywhere,” GQ wrote at the fall shows. Add a brooch or lapel pin and a dress watch at the cuff.
• Prep and old money. Wear a signet ring, a gold watch on a leather strap, and a thin rope or curb chain. Ralph Lauren was the top-viewed fall menswear show on Vogue Runway, per Vogue.
• Workwear. Pinterest’s men’s report describes accessory-first workwear styling built on pins, charms, and chains. Try a sterling silver chain bracelet with a chore coat or flannel.
• Rock and poet. Numéro spotted a rock-dandy look at Dior, Dries Van Noten, and Prada built on slender silhouettes and weathered leathers. Oxidized sterling silver, a cross pendant, and a stack of silver rings fit right in.
• Western. Bolo ties, belt buckles, and turquoise are trending in jewelry, National Jeweler reported, and at TIFF, Shamier Anderson wore a custom bolo tie (CBC).

Fall and Winter Jewelry Classics for Men

Fall and winter bring weddings, birthdays, and black-tie parties.

• Birthstones. October’s are opal and tourmaline (GIA), November’s topaz and citrine (GIA), and December’s turquoise, tanzanite, and zircon (GIA). Browse our birthstone jewelry.
• Studs and cufflinks. The Emily Post Institute lists shirt studs and cufflinks with a piqué or pleated-front white shirt for black tie.
• Holiday gifts. Our men’s jewelry holiday gift guide groups ideas into bold sterling silver, gold chains, and alternative metal rings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What jewelry is trending now for men?
