A Luxury Buyer Reveals the 4 Biggest Antique and Vintage Jewelry Trends for This Year

Here are the antique and vintage jewelry trends about to dominate this fall, according to Chairish's jewelry buyer.

Does anything give you more of a natural rush than sifting through vintage and estate jewelry at an antique or flea market and discovering something fabulous? It's an automatic conversation-starter every time you wear it. I have so many favorite pieces of jewelry that are vintage that I wear often. I've sourced pieces from all over—from Round Top in Texas to my favorite vintage shop in Birmingham, Alabama, MK Quinlan. My toxic trait might be that I go to fabulous flea markets, like Les Puces in Paris and Round Top, and only walk away with jewelry. It is much easier to transport, if we're being honest.

With the start of every season, I'm always looking for new pieces to add to my collection, and the beckoning of fall is no different. Enter: Meg Cass, Chairish's lead jewelry buyer, who is constantly sourcing the best vintage jewelry dealers and pieces for the go-to vintage emporium. She's revealing the antique and vintage jewelry pieces that will be huge this fall, so you can add them to your collection before they sell out.

Coin and Medallion-Set Jewels

Jewelry is so much more interesting when it has a history or story to it—to us, nothing is more stylish than looking to the past for inspiration. Ancient coins that are reset or reimagined into modern jewels are an elegant way to nod to some of the greatest civilizations around the world.

"We’re seeing strong demand for gold coin and medallion jewelry—an easy, elevated way to bring polish to any ensemble," notes Cass. "Think Jackie O. in her Onassis years: timeless, worldly, and just a little glamorous. With roots in Egyptian, Roman, and Byzantine design, these heirloom-style pieces pair perfectly with a summer glow and offer rich, historical appeal while staying completely wearable."

Bold Turquoise Jewelry

Here at VERANDA, we've always been fans of turquoise jewelry. It has had its moments—like, when it was the perfect accessory for the 1960s and '70s bohemian fashions—and we love its color for the end of summer and heading into fall. It's equally chic when paired with a flowing linen dress or a fitted turtleneck.

"Turquoise is having a major moment—and we’re here for this bold celebration of Western style," says Cass. "Packed with personality, these pieces add a cool, confident edge to any look. From chunky stone necklaces and oversized cocktail rings to inlaid bangles and dramatic drop earrings, this is jewelry that refuses to whisper—and that’s exactly the point. Whether worn solo or stacked, statement turquoise delivers instant impact with a distinct Western vibe."

1970s-Inspired Statement Jewels

"One of our favorite trends? ‘70s Coldwater Canyon," states Cass. "This look channels the laid-back glamour of icons like Stevie Nicks and Linda Ronstadt, with statement cuffs, sculptural rings, and bold earrings that radiate effortless cool. Chunky cuffs and textured gold pieces offer presence, artistry, and a hit of bohemian drama—perfect for anyone looking to stand out."

Is there anything more rock and roll than vintage jewelry? These strong pieces make any wearer feel fearless, and bold color and striking silhouettes lend much to any ensemble. I'm looking to add a cuff to each wrist and a pair of chunky hoops to my collection.

Pearl Jewelry—with a Twist

Pearls are timeless, there's no arguing that. But, a more updated twist on a classic? Yes, please. These vintage pieces pack personality in a punch and bring a cool factor, which is paramount when wearing vintage jewelry.

"These are not your grandmother’s pearls," says Cass. "Anything but dainty and understated, pearls this season standout in oversized, organic shapes, cloudy tones and organic textures. Set with chunky bands or in asymmetrical pairs, the pearls of 2025 are true statement pieces."
