A look into some of the jewellery trends defining 2026 THE GOLD RUSH “I like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper rings,” Taylor Swift chimes in her hit, Paper Rings. However, it’s safe to say she’s delighted with the antique-style, diamond rock in yellow gold now sparkling on her engagement finger. Going forward, we’re certain that yellow gold is making a striking return. The metal is indeed timeless, and it’s no wonder the metal has returned to a new generation. Co-founder of 77 Diamonds, Tobias Kormind, commented: “We find ourselves in the midst of a yellow gold renaissance. Its resurgence is not simply a nod to nostalgia, but a reflection of changing priorities. Today’s buyers value meaningful design, long-lasting materials, and the quiet confidence that yellow gold exudes. Whether in vintage-inspired solitaires or modern, pared-back bands, yellow gold is writing a new chapter in the story of engagement rings, one that honours tradition while embracing contemporary elegance.” Golden girl, Taylor Swift, may have brought the trend to Gen Z’s but this flattering metal never completely goes. Like, ever! For centuries, it has been the on-trend metal for engagement rings, admired for its rarity, richness, and symbolism. Come the 1990’s however, the jewellery world began to embrace cooler tones and with it, white gold and platinum.
