Summer is the peak time to switch up your jewellery box. As our skin deepens in tone, so does our interest in punchier pieces to heighten any holiday-ready look. Chunky metals, bohemian shells and beaded beauties have proven to be popular picks for the sartorially literate this season. Yet, there’s a new trend on the horizon - and it's making us dizzy with excitement.
Spiral necklaces have coiled their way to the top of the fashion food chain. Delightfully nostalgic of a time when the Spice Girls dominated the charts and steeped in symbolism, the curved form has doubled in search by 100 per cent month on month according to Lyst.
Closely associated with nature, from curling seashells to gusty whirlwinds and tightly-packed daisy seeds, the sentimental shape has remained a stand-out among the accessories market.
Ralph Lauren reintroduced spiral pieces for spring/summer 2026, following in the footsteps of Altuzarra and Chopova Lowena. Onscreen, the pendants were immortalised in the wardrobes of iconic characters from the ever-eccentric Phoebe Buffay to Carrie Bradshaw, who both paid homage to the popularity of the piece during the Nineties.
