For the past year, I’ve been quietly immersed in a jewellery project. It’s a bit too soon to share all the juicy details, but let’s just say diamonds, gold, and jewellery design have taken over my days—and I love it! Writing about the new jewellery trends for 2025 feels like a natural extension of my daily adventures.
Now, I won’t pretend there are groundbreaking novelties in jewellery every year—fashion, jewellery included, evolves gradually. But what’s exciting for 2025 is how certain styles previously lurking quietly in the background are finally stepping into the spotlight, while some old favourites take a much-deserved rest at the back of our jewellery boxes.

Gold Takes Centre Stage
Thanks to recent economic and political turbulence, gold prices are hitting record highs. As a result, vibrant, radiant yellow gold is unquestionably the luxury statement of the moment—and a key jewellery trend for 2025. Expect to see plenty of chunky necklaces, striking cuffs, and bold statement rings that celebrate gold in all its glorious shine.

Chunky Beats Dainty in 2025 Jewellery Trends
Classic minimalist jewellery—think bezel-set diamond necklaces—isn’t going anywhere, but delicate rings and ultra-thin earrings? Time for a little jewellery box reshuffle. One of 2025’s clearest jewellery trends is a wholehearted embrace of the “more is more” vibe:
- Go for bold earrings reminiscent of the playful ’60s and glamorous early ’90s.
- Choose chunky rings featuring oversized stones, and stack classic solitaires generously for a striking effect.
- Thick chains and tube chokers are making a serious comeback.
- Slave bracelets and iconic cuffs—think Verdura for Chanel or Elsa Peretti’s legendary bone cuff.

Art Deco Revival: Vintage with a Modern Twist
Vintage jewellery is more than a passing trend—it’s a charming celebration of our stories and heritage. For 2025, it’s all about Art Deco. Geometric shapes, precious and semi-precious gems, pearls, and enamels will dominate jewellery designs.
- Refresh heirloom pieces with contemporary settings for an updated look.
- Long necklaces—also known as sautoirs—especially those finished with elegant pearl fringes, will be highly desirable.
The Big Pendant Necklace Is a Jewellery Trend Staple for 2025
Speaking of sautoirs, these necklaces fit seamlessly with both Art Deco sophistication and ’70s boho-chic aesthetics. The hype on social media for Juju Vera‘s necklace confirms that large pendants will be everywhere:
- Opt for oversized medallions or geometric and organically shaped pendants—Elsa Peretti style inspirations will be especially coveted.
- Whether on chunky chains or silky cords, these pendants ideally rest just below your chest.

Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Here to Stay
There’s been plenty of speculation about lab-grown diamonds: are they a temporary fad or here to stay? Well, given their sustainability appeal and constant design innovation, lab-grown diamonds are following the faux-fur trajectory—they’ll only get bigger and better.

Yes, natural diamonds won’t vanish overnight, but lab-grown stones are becoming first choices for statement jewellery (think 3 carats and above). Brands will increasingly prioritise design excellence, positioning lab-grown diamonds as more than just alternative engagement-ring choices.
Coloured Gemstones Shine Bright in 2025
If you’re still undecided about lab-grown diamonds, coloured gemstones offer gorgeous alternatives. Semi-precious stones like amethyst, topaz, and aquamarine will grow in popularity. Plus, precious gems—especially emeralds, rubies, and sapphires—are enjoying a noticeable surge, placing vibrant stones at the heart of 2025’s jewellery trends.
Nature-Inspired Jewellery Continues to Bloom in 2025
Prestigious jewellery houses like Boucheron, Cartier and Dior are dedicating their 2025 high jewellery collections to nature’s beauty. From detailed leaves, blooming flowers, and golden wheat motifs to whimsical birds and insects, the appreciation of nature remains a key jewellery trend for 2025. It’s a beautiful reminder that our planet remains the greatest luxury of all.
