Hancocks Jewellers Manchester, known for its exceptional craftsmanship and heritage pieces, has announced its jewellery recommendations in celebration of the upcoming Chinese New Year.
The Year of the Fire Horse officially begins on 17 February 2026, offering a moment for collectors and style-conscious wearers to embrace jewellery that reflects the symbolism of the zodiac.
The most recent Fire Horse year took place in 2014, while individuals born from mid-February in 1978, 1990 or 2022 are also represented by the Horse sign.
Roy Lunt, 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.”
As Chinese New Year coincides with an annular solar eclipse, the jeweller has also shared practical advice on incorporating zodiac elements into everyday styling without overwhelming an outfit.
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.”
