The new collection adds new large charms while introducing mini charms and rondelles to the mix.
New York—Jade Trau has released its latest collection, an offering of pieces that reimagine the brand’s classic designs in new forms.
The Spring/Summer 2026 collection focuses on pieces to build on one’s existing neck story, with an expansion of the brand’s charm offerings and the debut of rondelles.
Each piece references design elements signature to the brand, like its “Alchemy-set” diamonds and knife-edge detailing, “because the classics still win, and my archive has already done the hard work,” explained Jade Trau, the founder and designer of her eponymous brand.
Four new large charms—“Lotus,” “Yin Yang,” “Chai,” and the pavé “Diana” charm—were added, as well as 12 mini versions of the brand’s charms.

Trau has also released new spiritual token charms, building on the talismans, like her “Ladybug” charm, that launched last year.
“As the world has grown more polarized and uncertain, and as I move through a period of real transition in my own life, preparing to send my children off to college and finding steadiness in my yoga practice, I felt drawn to symbols that offer comfort and perspective,” said Trau.
“The Chai charm, the Yin Yang, and the Lotus flower all speak to balance, resilience, and the preciousness of being here. The lotus rising from the mud is a reminder that beauty can emerge from difficulty, while the yin yang reflects the constant need to hold opposing forces with grace.”
She added, “Together, these talismans are small anchors, meant to remind us to stay present, seek balance, and honor the fleeting, extraordinary nature of life.”

The collection includes the debut of four rondelles created to be spacers in a charm stack or accents on a “Plié” collar (seen to the right in the image at the top of the article) or chains like the new “Rose-Arie” chain.
“I don’t know why it took so long to add rondelles, because I have to say, they are epic,” said Trau.
The Spring/Summer 2026 collection is about what lives on the bold chains that the brand debuted last season.
It is filled with new diamond jewelry meant to feel personal, considered, and worn every day.
“Charms and rondelles offer a way to extend the story, allowing each chain to evolve through layering, collecting, and personal meaning … There is always space for another charm, especially one that carries intention,” said Trau, as charms are amongst the current styles trending in diamond jewelry.

The collection features diamond accents across its 44 styles in 18-karat yellow gold, and some with platinum elements.
Along with the charms and rondelles are drop earrings, huggies, ear cuffs, a chain, and rings, including bands and bridal. The full collection retails from $3,000 to $33,500.
The seven-stone “Sophisticate” drop earrings with 3.16 carats of diamonds in 18-karat yellow gold ($19,450)
The triple “Frankie” solitaire ring with a 1.70-carat pear-cut diamond set in 18-karat yellow gold ($32,450)
The two-row, knife-edge “Envoy” ear cuff with a 0.18-carat diamond in 18-karat yellow gold ($3,450)
The new collection does not bear a name, as Trau has been more interested in developing styles within her brand’s existing collections and motifs rather than introducing something entirely new.
“Honestly, every time I come up with a new idea, I immediately think of about a hundred pieces I want to make. Experience has taught me to slow down,” said Trau.
Instead, she is guided by her clients’ reactions to new designs.
She added, “That’s what makes these kinds of launches so satisfying. They’re thoughtful, measured, and a lot more fun than forcing a name before it’s earned.”
