Why Green Is Spring 2026's Power Color

This isn't a random trend — several forces have converged to make green THE color everyone's reaching for this spring. After years of digital overload and screen fatigue, people are craving connection to nature. Green represents growth, renewal, and that feeling of fresh starts that spring brings. Wearing green accessories is like carrying a piece of the natural world with you — it's grounding, optimistic, and feels inherently hopeful.

Major designers showcased green heavily in their Spring/Summer 2026 collections. Valentino featured emerald accessories throughout their line. Bottega Veneta's signature green leather made statement appearances. When luxury fashion embraces a color this enthusiastically, it filters down quickly. The green accessories you're seeing now in boutiques like ours are directly influenced by what walked those runways — and they're infinitely more wearable and affordable than the runway versions.

This is the same maximalist energy driving the brass cuff bracelet trend and the brooch revival — bold accessories that make a statement without requiring a full wardrobe overhaul.

 

The Emerald Jewelry Trend

Emerald isn't just a gemstone anymore — it's a whole mood. Whether it's actual emeralds, green crystals, or enamel in that rich jewel tone, emerald jewelry is everywhere in 2026. The deep, saturated color feels luxurious and sophisticated, working equally well for daytime casual and evening dressing. And unlike some trend colors that feel forced, green has this incredible depth that changes depending on lighting — sometimes deep and mysterious, sometimes bright and vibrant. It's jewelry that literally shifts with your day.

 

The Green Accessories You Need This Spring

Emerald Statement Necklace

SHOP Emerald Stone Chain Necklace — $118

A bold emerald necklace is the quickest way to transform any outfit from basic to "I definitely thought about this." The Emerald Stone Chain Necklace ($118) is substantial enough to be your focal point but versatile enough to wear with everything from white tees to spring dresses. During the day, wear it over a simple button-down — the green stone becomes the entire look's anchor. For evening, layer it over a little black dress and let it do all the talking.

This is also a gorgeous piece for necklace layering — pair it with a shorter gold chain above and a longer pendant below for a curated three-layer stack with green as the focal point.

Styling tip: Pair an emerald necklace with gold earrings rather than more green jewelry. Let the necklace be the star while gold adds warmth without competing for attention.

Emerald Cocktail Ring

SHOP Emerald Cocktail Ring — $98

If you want maximum impact with minimal effort, an emerald cocktail ring is your answer. The Emerald Cocktail Ring ($98) brings serious drama — the kind of piece that makes people notice your hands and ask where you got it. There's something about that bold pop of green on your hand that feels both vintage-inspired and completely modern.

Wear it to spring weddings, garden parties, brunch with friends, or honestly just Tuesday afternoon because life's too short to save your good jewelry. For more ways to style bold rings, check out our complete cocktail ring styling guide.

Styling tip: If you're wearing an emerald cocktail ring, keep other jewelry minimal. Maybe add a delicate necklace or simple stud earrings, but let the ring be your statement piece.

Gold Flower Cocktail Ring with African Turquoise

SHOP Gold Flower Cocktail Ring with African Turquoise — $78

If you love the idea of a green ring but want something with a botanical, nature-inspired feel, the Gold Flower Cocktail Ring with African Turquoise ($78) is your piece. The gold flower design with its green-blue African turquoise stone captures that secret garden energy perfectly. It's also our most affordable green accessory, making it a perfect entry point if you're just dipping your toes into the emerald trend.

This ring layers beautifully with gold bangles and pairs with just about anything in your closet. The turquoise stone adds just enough green without going full emerald — it's green accessories for people who prefer a whisper over a shout.

Styling tip: Wear this on one hand and stack brass cuff bracelets on the same wrist for a coordinated gold-and-green arm party that feels curated, not cluttered.

Green Crystal Cuff Bracelets

Cuff bracelets are having a major resurgence in 2026, and green crystal versions are leading the charge. What makes cuffs so appealing is their boldness — you slide one on and instantly your whole arm situation is handled. No fussy clasps, no worrying about size, just instant statement.

SHOP Gold Crystal Cuff Bracelet Green — $124

The Gold Crystal Cuff Bracelet Green ($124) is the bolder of the two — green crystals set against gold that catch light beautifully throughout the day. It's the kind of bracelet that makes you want to gesture more when you talk because you know it looks stunning in motion. Cuff bracelets work particularly well for spring and summer because they sit higher on your wrist, making them perfect for short sleeves and sleeveless tops.

SHOP Emerald Crystal Cuff Bracelet Hammered Gold — $98

For something with more texture, the Emerald Crystal Cuff Bracelet Hammered Gold ($98) combines hammered gold with emerald crystals for a piece that feels artisan-made and intentional. The hammered texture adds depth and makes each one slightly unique. At $98, it's the more affordable of the two cuffs — perfect if you want the emerald crystal look without the higher commitment.

Both of these pair beautifully with our brass cuff bracelets for a stacked arm look that mixes metals and textures. Wear your green crystal cuff on one wrist and stack brass cuffs on the other for an asymmetrical, balanced look.

Styling tip: Unlike delicate chain bracelets that can get lost under long sleeves, a substantial cuff makes its presence known — so wear them with short sleeves, rolled-up sleeves, or sleeveless tops to show them off properly.

 

Green Brooches: The Unexpected Spring Accessory

If you thought brooches were just for coats and blazers, spring 2026 is about to change your mind. Green brooches are showing up on everything from denim jackets to spring bags, and they're the easiest way to add personality and that coveted green color to your wardrobe. Brooches are one of the biggest accessory trends of 2026, and green versions tap into both the brooch revival and the emerald color trend simultaneously.

SHOP Emerald Vase Floral Brooch — $98

The Emerald Vase Floral Brooch ($98) is the perfect example of where the green trend meets the brooch trend — it's whimsical without being childish, romantic without being too precious, and that green vase detail ties directly into the season's color story. Nothing says spring quite like florals, and when you combine that with emerald green? It's the accessory equivalent of a garden in bloom.

Floral green brooches work beautifully pinned to blazer lapels for work (adds personality without being too casual), denim jackets for weekend errands (transforms basic into styled), spring coats at the collar or shoulder (unexpected placement that feels modern), tote bags as removable decoration (changes up your bag without buying new), and even headbands for a truly unique hair accessory.

For more creative ways to wear brooches beyond the lapel, check out our guide to modern brooch styling and how to wear brooches to work. If you're building a collection, our brooch collection guide shows you how to start strategically.

Styling tip: For a fresh take, pin your floral brooch off-center rather than in the traditional lapel position. Try the upper shoulder of a jacket, or cluster it with other small pins for a maximalist brooch stacking look.

 

Mixing Green with Spring's Palette

Here's what makes green accessories so genius for spring — they work with literally everything in your closet. Unlike some trend colors that only work with specific palettes, green is universally flattering and mixable. You're not buying accessories that only work with one outfit — you're investing in pieces that enhance your entire wardrobe.

Green + Neutrals

The easiest way to wear green accessories is with a neutral outfit as your foundation. White jeans and a white tee with the Emerald Stone Chain Necklace ($118) is effortlessly chic. Black pants and a black top with the Emerald Cocktail Ring ($98) gives you sophisticated edge. A beige trench and camel sweater with one of the crystal cuff bracelets delivers quiet luxury with a pop of personality. When your clothing is neutral, green accessories become the entire focal point without overwhelming.

Green + Pastels

Spring means pastels, and green accessories complement them beautifully. A lavender dress with emerald jewelry creates garden party perfection. A pink blouse with the emerald necklace and white pants feels fresh and feminine. The key is letting green be your bold color while pastels provide the soft backdrop — romantic but not overly sweet, colorful but sophisticated.

Green + Denim

When in doubt, pair green accessories with denim. It's the most foolproof combination that exists. Denim jacket plus white tee plus the Emerald Vase Floral Brooch ($98) pinned to the lapel is your weekend uniform sorted. Jeans plus a striped shirt with the Green Crystal Cuff ($124) gives French-girl ease. Denim grounds green accessories, making even the boldest emerald pieces feel wearable.

Green + Prints

Don't be afraid to wear green accessories with prints. A floral dress with green jewelry pulls out the botanical theme. A striped shirt with a green brooch adds a focal point. Leopard print with emerald accessories is unexpectedly chic. The trick is choosing ONE green accessory rather than multiple — let it accent the print without competing.

 

Green Accessories with Your Existing Jewelry

One question I hear constantly: "Can I wear my green accessories with my other jewelry?" The answer is absolutely yes — here's how to make it work.

Green + Gold = The Classic Combination. Gold and emerald are best friends. The warm tone of gold makes green pop while keeping everything sophisticated. Stack your brass cuff bracelets on one wrist and a green crystal cuff on the other. Pair the emerald necklace with Gold Butterfly Stud Earrings ($48). Add a Gold Puffy Heart Charm Necklace ($118) as a layering partner above your emerald stone chain. This combination never fails.

Green + Silver = Modern Edge. Silver-tone metals with green create a cooler, more contemporary look. This works especially well with the turquoise tones in the African Turquoise Ring ($78). If you're a silver jewelry person, don't shy away from green accessories — just lean into the cooler green tones.

Green + Mixed Metals. You can absolutely mix metals with green accessories. Make green your dominant color accent, and let your metal mix — gold, silver, brass — create the backdrop. It looks intentional and styled, not accidental.

 

Beyond St. Patrick's Day: Green Accessories All Spring

While St. Patrick's Day (March 17) is the obvious occasion to wear green, these accessories work long past the holiday. That's the whole point — you're not buying a one-day costume piece, you're investing in spring staples.

March: Spring Awakening. Pair green accessories with transitional pieces — sweaters, light jackets, boots transitioning to sandals. Start with one statement piece and build from there.

April: Easter and Spring Events. Green accessories work beautifully with Easter pastels and spring event dressing. The Emerald Cocktail Ring ($98) complements floral dresses, and the floral brooch ($98) adds interest to blazers for brunch or garden parties. For more Easter styling ideas, check out our Easter jewelry and accessories guide.

May: Mother's Day and Graduations. Green accessories make thoughtful gifts — emerald pieces carry that "new beginnings" symbolism that's perfect for graduations. For gift ideas, see our Mother's Day jewelry gifts guide and our jewelry gifts for women who have everything.

June and Beyond: Summer Transitions. As spring turns to summer, green accessories stay relevant. Emerald jewelry with white summer dresses is timeless. The brooch pinned to a straw hat or beach bag extends the trend into warm weather. Green's nature connection makes it a natural fit for summer outdoor activities.

 

Building Your Green Accessories Collection

You don't need to buy everything at once. Here's how to build strategically — the same approach that works for building a brooch collection:

Start with ONE statement piece. Choose either the Emerald Stone Chain Necklace ($118), the Emerald Cocktail Ring ($98), or one of the crystal cuffs as your entry point. Wear it multiple ways to see how green works with your existing wardrobe.

Add a subtle green accent. Once you're comfortable with bold green, the Gold Flower Ring with African Turquoise ($78) or the Hammered Gold Cuff ($98) gives you a more understated option for days when you want green but not as dramatically.

Include a brooch. The Emerald Vase Floral Brooch ($98) is incredibly versatile — it works on clothing, bags, hats, scarves, and more. One brooch can change up dozens of outfits.

Mix your shades. Don't feel like all your green accessories need to match exactly. Emerald, sage, forest green, and turquoise can all work together when styled intentionally. Variety makes your collection more versatile.

 

Green Accessories as Gifts

Green accessories make phenomenal gifts for spring occasions — and they're easy to choose because the color does a lot of the heavy lifting. A gorgeous emerald piece says "I thought about this" without requiring you to know someone's exact taste.

The Gold Flower Ring with African Turquoise ($78) is the perfect "just because" gift at under $100. The Emerald Vase Floral Brooch ($98) works for Mother's Day, teacher appreciation, graduation, or any spring milestone. For the woman who already has everything, an emerald cocktail ring ($98) is the kind of piece she'd never buy herself but will wear constantly.

Not sure which green piece to choose? Our Surprise Me JuJu Gift Box lets us curate the perfect selection based on the recipient's style. For more gifting ideas, check out our brooch gift guide.

The JuJu Loves Take: Green Is Self-Care

Here's the real reason we're so passionate about green accessories this spring: they carry energy. When you put on an emerald ring or clip a green floral brooch to your blazer, you're making a decision to show up as the most put-together version of yourself. You're choosing to add beauty and intention to your day. And that matters.

Getting dressed is self-care. When you take the time to add that green cuff or layer that emerald necklace, you're telling yourself that you're worth the extra thirty seconds it takes. And green — with all its associations with growth, renewal, and fresh starts — carries exactly the kind of energy you want heading into spring.

Now go add some green to your life. Your wardrobe (and your confidence) will thank you.

 

Frequently Asked Questions About Green Accessories

What colors go best with green accessories?
Green accessories work with almost everything. Neutrals (black, white, beige, gray) let green pop as the focal point. Pastels (pink, lavender, pale blue) create a fresh, garden-inspired palette. Denim is the most foolproof pairing — it grounds even bold emerald pieces. Earth tones (brown, rust, camel) feel organic and sophisticated. Green is one of the most versatile accent colors you can add to your wardrobe.

Are green accessories just a spring trend or can I wear them year-round?
Green accessories work across all seasons. Emerald and forest green are stunning in fall and winter with rich fabrics. Sage and mint work beautifully in summer. Spring is when the trend peaks, but these pieces stay relevant year-round — which makes them a smart investment compared to single-season colors.

Can I mix green jewelry with gold or silver?
Absolutely. Gold and green are a classic luxury combination — the warmth of gold makes emerald tones glow. Silver creates a cooler, more modern look with green. You can even mix metals freely — just make green your dominant color accent and let the metals create the backdrop.

What's the most affordable way to start wearing green accessories?
The Gold Flower Cocktail Ring with African Turquoise at $78 is our most affordable green piece. It's botanical, beautiful, and subtle enough to wear daily while still participating in the emerald trend. The Emerald Cocktail Ring ($98) and Hammered Gold Cuff ($98) are both under $100.

How do I wear green accessories to work without being too bold?
Start with subtle pieces: the African Turquoise Ring ($78) or the Hammered Gold Cuff ($98) are professional and understated. A green brooch on a blazer lapel adds personality without being too casual. For more ideas, see our guide to wearing brooches at work.

What green accessories work for a spring wedding?
The Emerald Stone Chain Necklace ($118) pairs beautifully with cocktail dresses. The Emerald Cocktail Ring ($98) adds drama without overwhelming wedding-guest attire. Pin the floral brooch to a clutch for a subtle botanical touch. Keep it to one or two green pieces maximum so you look styled, not themed.

Can I stack green bracelets with other cuffs?
Yes — stacking is one of the best ways to wear green cuffs. Pair a green crystal cuff on one wrist with brass cuffs on the other for balanced asymmetry. Or stack the Green Crystal Cuff ($124) with the Hammered Gold Cuff ($98) on the same wrist for a coordinated emerald arm stack.

Do green accessories work with warm and cool skin tones?
Green is one of the few colors that flatters virtually every skin tone. Warm skin tones look gorgeous with yellow-green and warm emerald. Cool skin tones pair beautifully with blue-green and the turquoise tones in the African Turquoise Ring ($78). Deep emerald is universally flattering across all skin tones.

How do I clean and care for green crystal jewelry?
Gently wipe green crystal pieces with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Avoid exposing crystals to harsh chemicals, perfume, or hairspray. Store pieces separately to prevent scratching. For gold-plated pieces, see our complete gold jewelry care guide. Never submerge crystal jewelry in water or use ultrasonic cleaners.

What's the difference between the two green crystal cuff bracelets?
The Gold Crystal Cuff Bracelet Green ($124) has a smoother gold finish with green crystals for maximum sparkle. The Emerald Crystal Cuff Bracelet Hammered Gold ($98) has a textured, hammered finish with emerald crystals for a more artisan, organic feel at a lower price point. Both are slide-on cuffs — choose based on whether you prefer polished or textured, and your budget.
