Top Trends in Custom Jewelry for 2026

The world of custom jewelry evolves every year. In 2026, Las Vegas and Summerlin residents are embracing bold designs, personalized touches, and sustainable materials. At Jeff White Custom Jewelry, we combine craftsmanship with creativity to bring these trends to life in every custom piece.

Here’s what’s shaping custom jewelry in 2026.

1. Lab-Grown Diamonds Continue to Shine

Lab-grown diamonds remain a top choice for engagement rings and custom jewelry. They offer the same brilliance as natural diamonds, often at lower cost, while appealing to ethically-minded buyers.

In 2026, expect more creative cuts, fancy colors, and larger stones without the premium price of mined diamonds. Explore our lab-grown options in the Engagement Rings in Summerlin collection.

2. Unique and Personalized Gemstones

Personalization is key. Clients are choosing gemstones that reflect meaning, style, or birthstones. Rare colored gems like morganite, sapphire, and spinel are popular for custom engagement rings, pendants, and bracelets.

Our Look Book showcases real examples of rings featuring bold gemstone choices paired with elegant metals - perfect inspiration for your next design.

3. Mixed Metal Designs

2026 sees the rise of mixed metal jewelry. Combining rose gold, white gold, and platinum in a single piece adds depth and contrast.

This trend works beautifully in custom engagement rings and statement pieces, letting you mix metals to match personal style or heirloom components.

4. Vintage-Inspired and Art Deco Styles

Vintage revival continues. Art Deco patterns, filigree details, and geometric designs are trending in custom rings and necklaces.

Clients love custom restorations that incorporate vintage charm while maintaining modern durability. Check out our Repairs & Maintenance services for restoring or redesigning old favorites.

5. Minimalist Yet Statement Pieces

Sleek, minimal designs are paired with bold accents. Think clean bands with unique stone placements or solitaire designs with unexpected side details.

This approach balances elegance and individuality, making each custom piece truly one-of-a-kind.

6. Sustainable and Ethical Choices

Sustainability continues to influence jewelry choices. Clients prefer ethically sourced metals and stones, including recycled gold and lab-grown gemstones. This trend aligns perfectly with the modern Las Vegas buyer who values style and responsibility.

At Jeff White Custom Jewelry, all our materials are carefully selected for both beauty and ethical sourcing.

7. Stackable Rings and Layered Jewelry

Stackable rings, layered necklaces, and versatile bracelets remain popular. Clients love creating their own combinations that can evolve over time - perfect for expressing personality and milestones.

Custom stacking allows you to mix metals, stones, and textures, giving your jewelry collection a dynamic, modern feel.
