New York Fashion Week has once again set the tone for the upcoming season, proving that bold, fearless fashion is here to stay. From gothic romance to boho-chic elegance, the runways were alive with dramatic details, luxurious textures, and a spirit of unapologetic self-expression. And while the clothing made a statement, it was the jewelry—stacked, oversized, and artfully curated—that truly completed the looks. Whether inspired by Anna Sui’s darkly romantic vision, Marc Jacobs’ exaggerated silhouettes, or Ulla Johnson’s gilded florals, the message from NYFW is clear: It’s time to accessorize with intention.
Dark Romance & Gothic Glamour
NYFW was drenched in a moody, gothic aesthetic, with designers like Anna Sui and Frederick Anderson embracing deep hues, black lace, and dramatic textures. Sui’s collection played with rich purples and structured tailoring, while Anderson’s intricate lacework and zebra prints exuded an air of modern gothic elegance.
The jewelry answer to this dark romance? Sylva & Cie’s vintage-inspired pieces, with their old-world charm, and Vram’s sculptural designs, which embody an artistic edge. Layer oxidized metals, dark sapphires, and ornate gold details to channel the same mysterious, high-drama energy that ruled the runway.
Stacked Gold & Statement Cuffs
While statement necklaces took a backseat, stacked cuffs and bold gold bracelets stole the show. Designers like Marc Jacobs and Khaite leaned into maximalist layering, playing with oversized proportions, animal prints, and voluminous silhouettes—outfits that beg for equally powerful jewelry.
Build your own dynamic wrist stack with Caroline Ellen’s meticulously crafted gold cuff, add sculptural intrigue with Vram’s ‘Chrona’ cuff, and introduce sparkle with Harwell Godfrey’s diamond-adorned bangles. Whether worn over sleeves or peeking out from an oversized coat, this is layering at its most luxurious.
Boho Chic: Natural Meets Luxe
While maximalism dominated, effortless elegance had its moment, too. Ulla Johnson’s gilded details and rich florals embodied modern boho, while Diotima’s crocheted caplets and sculptural silhouettes brought an artisanal touch to NYFW.
The perfect jewelry pairings? Fernando Jorge’s ‘Fluid’ earrings, with their soft curves and organic movement, and Silvia Furmanovich’s horsehair earrings, which blend earthy elements with exquisite craftsmanship. These pieces bring a free-spirited sophistication, proving that the boho trend is anything but basic.
Oversized Earrings & Maximalist Energy
From Thom Browne’s bird-themed extravaganza to Marc Jacobs’ puffed-out proportions, maximalism reigned supreme. Exaggerated silhouettes, head-turning embellishments, and avant-garde detailing called for jewelry that matched their fearless energy—cue the oversized earrings.
Make a statement with Nikos Koulis’ bold geometric designs, Silvia Furmanovich’s intricate craftsmanship, or Vram’s architectural ear adornments. Whether paired with a tailored coat, a voluminous gown, or an edgy evening look, these earrings add just the right amount of high-impact drama.
This season, jewelry isn’t just an accessory—it’s the defining element of a fully realized look. The runways of NYFW have spoken: embrace statement pieces, curate with confidence, and let your jewelry tell a story as bold as your style.
