Stars Choose Chokers, Elongated Earrings at 2026 Grammys
From cool-toned metal to ring stacks, Associate Editor Natalie Francisco highlights the jewelry trends she spotted at the Grammy Awards.

Chokers, torques, elongated earrings, and cool-tone metals took over with men going beyond just a brooch and watch to stack on their rings.
Although, some musicians took a more minimal approach to their jewelry this year while others chose to forgo jewelry altogether.

Decked out from her head to her toes, Tyla also wore the “Era” anklet with bezel-set lab-grown diamonds dangling on a paperclip chain, the “Era” bracelet, and two handfuls of “Era” and “Infinite” rings in 14-karat yellow gold with lab-grown diamonds.
