Let your jewelry do the talking

By: Mercy Ayankunle

Jewelry for both males and females has evolved far beyond being just accessories. Today, it is a bold fashion statement, offering personality, culture, and endless opportunities for self-expression. Gone are the days when jewelry was worn only for special occasions.

From runways to everyday street style in different parts of the country, jewelry has become a celebrated part of modern Nigerian fashion. Beyond aesthetics, jewelry now tells stories of heritage, trends, and identity.

The biggest trend in 2026 in this regard is the mixture of tradition and modernity. For women, we have chunky gold jewelry, non-tarnish stainless necklaces, bracelets, Cartier-style bangles, traditional coral, and statement beads.

For men, we have chains (Cuban, Franco, and rope), beaded bracelets and necklaces, signet rings, and band rings. There are also customised jewelries with personalised nameplates and pendants.

Jewelry offers confidence and versatility. With a simple change of earrings or a chain, a person can move from a casual campus look to a chic owambe style in minutes.

 There is jewelry to suit every taste, whether you prefer a sleek, minimal, or bold look.
