As we enter 2025, jewellery trends are embracing bold expression. As seen on the Spring/Summer 2025 runways, the year ahead promises striking pieces that celebrate individuality and personality. Key highlights include modern twists on pearls, eye-catching statement pieces, and a revival of ’90s-inspired styles—with each trend making its mark while remaining effortlessly chic.

Bigger and Bolder Beads

Chunky bead necklaces and bracelets are having a renaissance, infusing bohemian charm with modern sophistication. The FW24 ready-to-wear collections paved the way, and SS25 solidified the trend.

At Ralph Lauren, layers of vibrant beads cascaded over soft tailoring, while Isabel Marant opted for thick block chokers. Saint Laurent stole the show with supersized gold, wood, and jewel-tone beads, their exaggerated scale echoing the Maison’s oversized silhouettes. This trend invites you to go big—literally.

Pearls, Reimagined

The Spring/Summer ’25 runways were awash in pearls, making a dramatic comeback with innovative twists. Chloé delivered pearls in unexpected forms—think tassel earrings, arm cuffs, and plunging pendants—while Moschino introduced super long earring-necklaces crafted from large, luminous pearls, adding an interesting edge to their city-meets-country themed show.

Baroque pearls, celebrated for their irregular and organic shapes, have re-emerged as the darlings of contemporary design. Bottega Veneta’s jade green Baroque pearls, paired with gold beads, brought a fresh, versatile edge to this classic. 

Bangles: It’s Cuffing Season

Bangles are back, and they’re bigger than ever. SS25 collections from Balmain, Saint Laurent, Elie Saab, and Sacai championed this versatile accessory, with Emporio Armani and Zimmermann experimenting with unique shapes and textures. Whether worn solo or stacked, bangles are set to dominate 2025 — and I, for one, can’t wait to start layering them.

Chain Belts: The ‘90s Revival

Chain belts have slinked back into the spotlight, blending nostalgia with a modern twist. Chanel introduced delicate body chains, while Miu Miu made a bold statement with oversized chain belts. Whether draped over a bikini or cinching a simple dress, chain belts are your go-to for a touch of retro glamour.

The Power of Statement Pieces

If there’s one trend worth investing in, it’s statement jewellery. The SS25 runways from Fendi, Balmain, and Versace proved that bold is better. Oversized bracelets, elaborate necklaces, and dramatic earrings are designed to elevate even the simplest outfit. Think one-and-done—because in 2025, subtlety is out, and self-expression is in.
