What the shows put forward

Vogue Adria's autumn and winter 2026 report picks out three looks: long necklaces layered with medallions and pendants, including Chloé's porcelain talismans; maximalist pearls, from Valentino's oversized necklaces to XL pearl earrings at Celine and Schiaparelli; and gold earrings with antique finishes and heirloom shapes at Chanel, Chloé and Schiaparelli.

The antique connection

The trade press saw it coming: in December 2025, JCK wrote that "all signs point to antique and vintage jewelry as having a moment in 2026".

The runway is copying what is already in many family jewellery boxes.
