As we approach 2025, a number of exciting trends are emerging in the world of jewellery. From minimalist designs to the resurgence of natural pearls, these trends promise to add some excitement and sparkle to your wardrobe. Here, we will explore these upcoming jewellery trends and how they are set to make a mark in the fashion world.
Minimalist Jewellery: Less is More
In 2025, one trend we anticipate is a strong return to minimalistic jewellery. The mantra "less is more" will be the guiding principle for many. Simple and elegant designs will take centre stage, offering a refined and understated look that complements a wide range of outfits.
Minimalist jewellery looks just as good with casual daily wear as it does with an elegant evening gown, so expect more minimalist pieces to appear as “all-day” or “capsule” jewellery, but more on that later…
The Pearl Resurgence
Natural pearls are making a striking comeback in the jewellery scene and we expect them to feature regularly in 2025. After years of being overshadowed by other gemstones, pearls are regaining their popularity. Their timeless, classic appeal adds a touch of sophistication to any ensemble, making them a must-have in your jewellery collection.
Pearls are a versatile gemstone, and make for beautiful earrings and rings that can be worn at any time, not just for special occasions.
A Shift Back to Silver
While gold jewellery has seen a swell in popularity over recent years, we predict that 2025 will see a shift back to silver as the most popular metal for jewellery. Sterling silver may lack the warmth of gold but its elegance and versatility means it can be worn with almost any outfit or colour scheme.
The neutrality of silver also means that it looks great with colourful gemstones, letting you add a pop of colour to your outfit, and even more extravagant styles of jewellery are dialled back a little bit when they are made from silver rather than gold.
Quality Over Quantity: Capsule Wardrobe Style
We are hopeful that 2025 will witness a shift away from fast fashion in the world of jewellery. Consumers are becoming more conscious of their purchases, opting for quality pieces that stand the test of time. Investing in a capsule collection of timeless jewellery will be a fashion-forward choice.
Creating your own capsule collection might mean spending more on individual pieces, but the quality of these will be higher and will last you for a much longer time. Consider looking for jewellery made by talented artisans, where you can be sure of the quality of the craftsmanship while also supporting the continuation of skills that have been passed down through generations.
Heirloom-Inspired Treasures
Another way that people may start to move away from fast fashion is by investing in fewer but more meaningful pieces. The desire for unique and meaningful pieces will lead to a surge in heirloom-inspired jewellery. People are increasingly turning to bespoke services to create one-of-a-kind pieces that tell their personal stories. This trend emphasises craftsmanship and sentimental value over mass-produced items.

Mixing Metals with Confidence
While we expect a shift back to silver, there’s no need to declare exclusivity for any one metal. Embrace the trend of mixing metals, such as silver, gold, and rose gold, to create unique and captivating looks in 2025.
Experimenting with different metal combinations will be an exciting way to express your personal style. A gold necklace can be paired with silver rings, or different coloured bracelets can even be stacked on the same wrist, so let your creativity flow!
Bold Statement Pieces
While minimalist jewellery is on the rise, bold statement pieces will also have their moment. Chunky bangles, statement necklaces, and eye-catching chandelier earrings will add some tasteful flair to your attire, perfect for special occasions.
Don’t be afraid to wear your bold statement pieces with more dressed-down attires either, a chunky cuff or statement necklace can elevate a simple jeans and vest outfit to another level.
The Revival of Art Deco Jewellery
A couple of years ago we saw a rise in the popularity of enamel in jewellery designs, but this year we are predicting that art deco-inspired jewellery will make a comeback. Its geometric shapes, bold lines, and intricate designs offer a unique and artistic flair.
If you want to get ahead of this trend, start looking for bold gemstone pieces with intricate metalwork. These chandelier earrings with labradorite can be a great way to start your art deco jewellery journey.
As we step into 2025, the world of jewellery is brimming with exciting possibilities. From the return of natural pearls to the resurgence of heirloom-inspired pieces, there's a trend for every style, whether you prefer minimalist elegance or bold statements.
