If you love keeping up with jewelry trends but also believe in wearing what truly speaks to your style, you’re in the right place!
This breaks down the top 12 jewelry trends for 2025—straight from the runways—but also questions whether trends really matter.
From bold statement earrings to chunky chains and floral-inspired pieces, there’s a little something for everyone.
Whether you’re into layering delicate necklaces, rocking oversized brooches, or keeping it minimal, this year’s trends offer plenty of options.
Let’s dive into what’s in, what’s out, and how you can make these trends your own!
Statement Earrings
Large, bold earrings continue to be in style.
Popular styles include:
- Chunky geometric earrings (80s-inspired)
- Gold statement studs (gold is more dominant in 2025)
- Long, delicate crystal earrings (popular on the Ralph Lauren runway)
- Tassel and fringe earrings (seed bead designs, chain tassels)
Floral-themed earrings are also trending, as seen in oversized flower earrings from Carolina Herrera.
Statement Necklaces
- Big, chunky, intricate beaded necklaces are out of style.
- Instead, single strands of beads are trending, either worn alone or layered.
- Blue is a major color in 2025, seen in statement earrings and necklaces.
Large Metal Pendants
- Small, minimalist pendants from the “quiet luxury” trend are being replaced by bold, oversized pendants.
- These can be worn on chains, cords, or pearl strands.
- Chunky chains paired with large pendants are especially popular.
Chunky Chains
- Large, bold chain necklaces are a major trend.
- Gold is dominant, but two-toned chains (e.g., silver and gold) are gaining popularity.
- Paperclip chains are a more subtle way to wear this trend.
Stacked Necklaces
- Layering multiple necklaces of different lengths is still in style.
- Styles include bead strands, delicate chains, and layered pendants.
- Ready-made stacked necklaces are available for those who struggle with styling.
Floral Jewelry
- Floral designs are a major trend, extending beyond clothing to jewelry.
- Styles include flower stud earrings, sculptural floral necklaces, and velvet flower jewelry.
Pearls with a Twist
- Pearls remain trendy but are now incorporated in new ways.
- Instead of a single pearl on a chain, pearl strands serve as the necklace, with metal focal points.
- Choker-length pearl necklaces with rhinestone accents are a major look.
Crochet Jewelry
- Crochet is moving beyond sweaters and into jewelry.
- Crochet earrings are especially popular, often combined with floral motifs.
- Carol hints at an upcoming project related to this trend.
Large Brooches
Brooches have been making a comeback since 2023.
2025 brings new ways to wear them:
- On bags, shoes, or belts
- On a sleeve instead of a lapel
- As a hair accessory on a headscarf
Flower brooches and horizontal brooch styles are especially fashionable.
Minimalist Jewelry
- Some fashion trends favor wearing little to no jewelry, or just a pair of statement earrings.
- The minimalist approach is still strong, but Carol expresses that it might feel incomplete for jewelry lovers.
Bracelets, Cuffs, and Bangles
- Cuff bracelets, bangles, and arm cuffs are rising in popularity.
- Layering multiple resin bangles is a key look.
- Bicep cuffs (worn on the upper arm) are also trending, often paired with wrist bangles.
Nature-Inspired Jewelry
- Jewelry pieces inspired by nature, such as leaf motifs, animal designs, and organic textures, are popular.
