JCK’s 2025 Fall Digital Issue Is Here

By Natalie Chomet | September 17, 2025

As fall approaches, it feels like time starts to accelerate: Blink and the holiday season is upon us. Luckily, we’ve been keeping pace. The second annual digital issue of JCK magazine is here to help you weather it all—from the myriad gifting occasions of winter all the way through the spring shows.

If you’re looking for inspiration for your holiday stock, this issue has you covered and then some. We’ve got trends galore—from snake-inspired styles to serene aquamarine—to fill retailers’ cases with excitement into 2026 and beyond.

Starting the issue strong, JCK editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky delivers her Letter From the Editor in video form, drawing us into the thought process behind each of the eye-catching features.

Here’s an overview of what else you’ll get in these action-packed pages.

JCK editor Amy Elliott checks in with leading jewelers from around the country on their must-have styles for the holidays, while Priya Raj reports on the growing interest in reviving heirloom pieces.

And of course, when it comes to trends, managing editor Melissa Rose Bernardo has you covered. Pay attention to the styles she predicts will be winners in 2026: earthy organic materials like wood, hard stones such as mesmerizing malachite, and statement styles in serpentine shapes.

Seeking more ideas for next year? Take some cues from our gorgeous cover, illustrated by Laurence Bentz. The gilded jewels hint at our bullish and perhaps counterintuitive commitment to gold. “In an age when gold is so valuable, people seem to desire it more than ever,” Victoria shares.

As we look forward, we remain true to our roots—in the form of the favorite features you know and love from JCK magazine: Staff Picks (including can’t-miss dramatic bracelets selected by Victoria), red-carpet looks (hint: snakes slither into play yet again), and The Way We Wore (featuring model Naomi Sims, resplendent in late-1960s chunky gold).

Keep turning those pages and you’ll find a Shop the Look feature at the back of the book, a fun opportunity you get only in a digital issue. Check out the linked products ready to be stocked in your store with just a few clicks.

See it all for yourself in JCK’s new digital issue, which can be viewed here. Enjoy every appealing page and let us know what you think. We wish you success in the months and seasons ahead!
