Here, I must stress the significance of jewelry. Sometimes all you need to upgrade your entire ensemble is a nice necklace or a pair of earrings, which is also frequently a more affordable method to check off those crucial trends.
Last fashion month, I saw some really intriguing jewelry trends on the catwalks. Just to be sure, I asked the professionals—the designers themselves—to clarify which pieces you should purchase this year.
1. Modern pearls
Models stood out on the catwalk wearing pearl belts and necklaces, and elegant pearls with delicate embellishments were used everywhere.
"I like to modernize pearls by combining them with gold and textured gemstones – I often add black rhodium to give a rock'n'roll touch to a traditional pearl earring," designers shared their tips for reimagining pearls for 2025. Baroque pearls feel contemporary and a touch unconventional, but they ultimately look well on women of all backgrounds, which is why I adore incorporating them into my creations.
2. Beads
With cream and pastel blue hues layered on pieces, elaborate tops, and skirts, beaded jewelry added a nostalgic touch to the runway.
According to an expert: "I expect to see beads continue to be popular in 2025 and with Pantone predicting the use of 'fresh and optimistic' colours, I expect to see energetic shades like our electric blue lapis lazuli column necklace and earring set, cut in a playful way."
3. Oversized necklaces
If you like subtle jewelry, look elsewhere. Gucci, Schiaparelli and Louis Vuitton were among the brands that walked the runways in London, Milan and Paris with XXL chokers or sautoirs that complemented the overall look, rather than overshadowing it.
The beauty and appeal of a sculptural necklace is that it can be worn with any outfit, for any occasion. It is versatile enough to be worn with any outfit, whether it is for the beach or a romantic evening. Designers want their products to inspire the women who wear them, and they aspire to a style that is imaginative and design-oriented rather than all that secondary capitalism.
4. Charms
2025 is the ideal year to tell a story with your jewelry by using lovely charms.
While some companies display vintage coin bracelets, others use items inspired by the past to adorn necklaces and earrings. Adding charms to a bracelet or pendant is always a great way to add a little something extra and create a collection of meaningful pieces that will eventually tell your own story. I think people like collecting them because they are so versatile, expressive, and intimate. Charms will always have a place in jewelry and be a timeless design.
5. Marine jewellery
You'll be happy to hear that seashell jewelry is making a resurgence as part of a sea-inspired trend that's finding its way onto the runways if, like me, you weren't ready to part with your seashell pieces from a few months ago.
Jewelers are inspired by the beauty of nature and desire to create jewelry that incorporates natural materials or conjures up visions of nature as we grow more environmentally conscious.
6. Sculptural earrings
Similar to necklaces, earrings with more intricate and sculpture-like parts will be in style in 2025.
Their popularity stems from consumers' desire to spend money on pieces that enhance their existing wardrobe and go well with even the most basic outfits. This is a variant of the "lipstick effect," when individuals cut back on their expenditures while still indulging in small pleasures that let them express who they are, feel good, and pamper themselves.
In summary, jewelry is a powerful way to elevate your style affordably while embracing the exciting trends of 2025, from modern pearls to sculptural earrings and marine-inspired designs. The insights from top designers highlight how these pieces—charms, oversized necklaces, and beads—can tell your unique story and complement any outfit. As we embrace a more sustainable and expressive approach to fashion, now is the perfect time to explore these trends.
