As days of long white clouds and lounging around sipping rosé stretch ahead of us, the impending scorching weeks have prompted a very important discussion: What jewellery trends will dominate the summer 2025 season?
When it comes to clothing, we already have our hot weather wardrobe sorted. Indeed, a rotation of cropped white t-shirts, straight leg white jeans, a flirty gingham top and a romantic dress picked up at Reformation, Rixo, Realisation Par, Faithful, or Dôen will see us through the balmy climate.
But knowing what necklaces, rings and bracelets to adorn these outfits with is another story.
“We’ve definitely been seeing a shift towards heavier gold pieces and bolder, more sculptural jewellery,” explains Cushla Whiting, the co-founder and creative director of the eponymously titled fine jewellery brand Cushla Whiting.
“Ear cuffs are having a strong moment, as are large, sculptural cuffs and bangles,” she adds. “Layered, chunkier link chains and charms are still popular. Platinum and silver are regaining popularity, and can be styled alongside yellow gold for a chic two-tone look. And brooches and lapel pins are making a welcome comeback.”
For Pia Mance, the Australian wunderkind behind Hailey Bieber, Sofia Richie Grainge and Florence Pugh’s go-to jewellery brand, Heaven Mayhem, the biggest jewellery trends for 2025 will be the ones that make the biggest splash.
The founder now resides in Los Angeles, where she makes vintage-influenced pieces inspired by some of the most recognisable jewellery pieces of all time, like the Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti Bean Pendant and Cartier Tank watch. Her designs are like catnip for cool girls and are always seen on the fingertips, wrists and décolletage of the most influential and stylish women, so it’s safe to say she knows a thing or two about spotting a trend—and setting it
“As the weather warms up, I think we will be seeing some bigger pendant pieces but with a longer length,” Mance tells me over email. “Think pendant pieces that hit the mid-waist, styled with a bikini.”
The message is clear. Jewellery is no longer a finishing touch or afterthought when putting together a look, but an integral part of your silhouette. Consider the bracelet or ring bags pioneered by Chloé and adored by Mikey Madison and Amal Clooney. Or the brooches that speckled the lapels of the French and Danish style sets during past fashion weeks. Archival designs are also coming back with a vengeance. This was something we saw in another accessory category, the 2025 sunglasses trends, proving that when bought well, an item can truly last you a lifetime.
Irrespective of whether you’re ready to make that forever purchase or you’re just invested in the styles that will define the next few months, uncover the 7 biggest summer jewellery trends for 2025, ahead.
