Hancocks Jewellers shares pieces to wear to mark the Year of the Horse

Hancocks Jewellers Manchester, the renowned retailer of exquisite jewellery, has released its highly-anticipated recommendations for Chinese New Year.

The Year of the Fire Horse began on 17 February 2026, giving jewellery lovers the chance to wear something to mark the occasion.

Roy Lunt, the managing director of Hancocks Jewellers said: “If you are a Horse, this is your year, and we think you are allowed to lean into it. Horses are known for being energetic, independent, and always ready for what’s next. What that means for jewellery is it needs to be easy, wearable, and a little lucky. At Hancocks, we are recommending yellow diamonds as the perfect way to stand out of a crowd and lead the way this year.”

Chinese New Year also coincides with an annular solar eclipse, so as part of their recommendations, Hancocks have shared advice on how to wear zodiac jewellery without it feeling costume.

Roy Lunt added: “Our advice is to pick one hero piece, then keep the rest simple. Anything zodiac is generally a stand-out piece so one gemstone shade is often enough. Be mindful to choose a metal that suits your wardrobe, not just the trend.”
