Fine jewelry is more than a luxurious or decorative possession, Eddie LeVian says. Jewelry buyers today are gravitating toward intentional, heirloom-worthy pieces that reflect both craftsmanship and personal significance, he explains.
“In a time when the world seeks meaning more than material, jewelry becomes more than adornment—it becomes a declaration of values, identity, and emotion,” says the CEO of Le Vian.
Such designs were on full display during the Le Vian 2026 Red Carpet Revue, a trend forecast and fashion show of new collections, on Sunday at the JCK show in Las Vegas.
The overarching theme of Le Vian’s newest designs covers sentiment, style, and symbolism, says LeVian. His company studies consumers to create its collections, and its 2026 pieces connect to people’s love for country, regard for their fellow humans, and sense of well-being.
“Our jewelry reflects the spectrum of human experience,” says LeVian, who is also the designer for his family-owned fine jewelry brand.
Le Vian believes patriotism will be an important design influence in the coming year, as seen in its Americana pieces—symbolized by art deco cuts, Montana sapphires, and beloved red, white, and blue gemstones—and American Southwest styles (think Denim Ombré Sapphires and American Robin’s Egg Blue Turquoise).
“Patriotism is no longer quiet; it’s personal,” LeVian says. “Through bold colors, heritage gems, and symbolic forms, we wear our stories, our struggles, and our pride.”
Below, trends featured at the Le Vian event in Vegas, along with insights on each that LeVian shared with JCK.
Serenity
“In today’s fast-paced world, consumers crave calm—gemstones that channel tranquility through soothing blue, teal, and green hues. These include Australian boulder opals, Deep Sea Teal Aquadite, Emerald Ombré, Hunters Green Tourmalines…with each offering a visual breath of calm.”
Masculinity
“Le Vian introduces assertive and expressive men’s jewelry, along with Him for Her and His and Hers collections, designed to reflect a new multidimensional vision of masculinity—one that embraces individuality, strength, confidence, and self-expression.”
Exclusivity
“These museum-caliber high jewelry pieces showcase some of the rarest natural color diamonds and gemstones in the world. We are also expanding the Le Vian Platinum collection, which exemplifies rarity, resilience, luxury, and timeless beauty.”
Indulgence
“As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Chocolate Diamonds, Le Vian is unveiling a range of new designs, including Chocolate Ombré designs, Chocolate Mousse–inspired collections, and Chocolate Quartz offerings—each capturing the essence of luxurious self-reward.”
Devotion
“Representing love, passion, and connection, the devotion trend tells a Le Vian love story through romantic gemstones like Passion Ruby, Pomegranate Garnet, Strawberry Ombré Sapphire, and the heartfelt Kiss of Love, Kiss of Friendship, and Bisou collections.”
Patriotism
“The Americana trend features our largest Montana Sapphire Ombré collection to date. We sorted these sapphires into seven distinct shades of blue and green, recutting many into standardized rounds and mapping them into ombré designs that showcase true American innovation.”
