Wait, are diamonds "dated"? While the obvious answer is no, and that's largely still true, we're starting to see the rise in an alternative stone that the best-dressed women in our feeds are styling all their latest outfits with instead of pieces that incorporate diamonds. Everyday diamonds like diamond studs can still be seen on fashion people, but when it comes to what they're styling their holiday-party looks with, it's none other than onyx jewelry.
The style set in cities like London, Milan, and Copenhagen tend to set trends and right now it seems like everyone there is adopting onyx stones into their wardrobes. It's thanks in no small part to It-girl brands like Le Sundial, Juju Vera, Sophie Buhai, and Agmes who are all designing onyx pieces that have an art deco feel, one jewelry trend we're noting will be big for 2026. From cool cuffs to Gwenyth Paltrow's viral tassel necklace, see how chic people are styling onyx jewelry now and shop the best outfit-making versions we love.
