Lunchtime Conversation host Nanette Wiser caught up with Beverly Gianna jeweler who is very active in the Gulf Beaches community and a trend expert. We wanted to know how to travel with our jewelry, what to wear when we don't want to flash our jewels and what's trending as we head into society season in St. Petersburg and Tampa. Here is what we learned. Coastal style is always in season in Tampa Bay! 
  • Gold chains and bracelets. People are discovering all of the classic styles that are new to them and that there's a lot more than one kind. Women and men are thinking beyond the cuban chain, which is still great. Yellow is king and queen of the gold colors. 
  • Arm cuffs and celestial designs (more suns, moons and stars) alongside organic forms have made a comeback. People want something unique. 
  • Diamonds by the yard are great for work, these are nice gold or silver necklaces that feature bezel set diamonds. 
  • Stay hello to diamond stud earrings in natural and lab, single stone and bezel set necklaces but with a colorful twist. Repurposing old stones and gold has become more popular as well with the high price of gold. So people are taking what they don't wear and turning it into something they will. Studs are easy style and go well with a gala style or for work. 
  • Minimalism & Maximalism are the both in. Here's the twist. Personal curation. Stackable rings and layered necklaces are dominating the trend. It's as many as look good with the outfit. The trend and style advice is to balance statement pieces with timeless, dainty staples.  
  • Platinum has become a more common option this year with the price of gold increasing. White gold is still a great option but Platinum was invented to replace it. Great for silver tones in gala season.
  • We are still seeing hidden halos as a popular design in bridal but that's made it's way over into fashion as well! 
  • Two stone rings in different styles have been much more popular this year. Moval cut stones are becoming more popular. Elongated cushion cuts are also especially popular, so they will start to make their way into fashion jewelry! They are great to wear as necklaces or as stud earrings.
  •  Design-led storytelling, color, and sculptural metalwork are the dominant creative trends in 2026. Champagne / Desert Diamonds are making a comeback for engagement rings, so expect to see them show up in fashion.
