7 Jewellery Trends For 2025

We love seeing the different jewellery being showcased each year on the catwalks, by celebrities, and in everyday fashion choices. So here’s a rundown of 7 jewellery trends for 2025 that we think could inspire you when choosing your next piece of jewellery!

1. Modern Heirlooms

“Jewellery that tells your story.”

British Vogue recently highlighted how much the term “modern heirlooms” came up when speaking to jewellers about 2025 trends. But what does it really mean? Essentially, it’s all about timeless, meaningful pieces – jewellery that doesn’t just look beautiful today but will also hold significance for years (or even generations) to come.

Think bespoke designs that incorporate initials, birthstones, or personal symbols. Maybe it’s giving new life to an old family heirloom, creating a locket with a hidden message, or designing a ring to incorporate your birthstone. These pieces become more than just accessories; they become part of your story.

At Christopher Evans Goldsmiths, we specialise in creating these unique treasures – pieces that are deeply personal and destined to be passed down.

2. Charms Are Back

“Jewellery that grows with you.”

Charms are making a huge comeback, but not in the way you might remember. Gone are the clunky charm bracelets of the early 2000s; instead, think elegant charm necklaces and bracelets that blend personalisation with sophistication.

The beauty of charms is how they can evolve – marking special occasions, milestones, or simply adding a little whimsy to your look. 

Our adorable honeybee charm is a perfect example: Solid 9ct Yellow & White Gold Honeybee 🐝. 

Or, if you’re after the style of the charms trend without the actual charms, this 18ct yellow gold diamond necklace gives that “charm-style” feel but with a refined twist.

3. Adventurous Ring Settings

“Step aside, solitaire – 2025 is all about unique settings.”

When Zendaya revealed her stunning east-west engagement ring earlier this year, it sparked a huge surge in interest for non-traditional ring settings – and we’re loving it!

Here are some of the standout styles trending in 2025:

  • East-West Settings: The gemstone is set horizontally, with its longest side running parallel to the band. This offers a sleek, modern twist on a classic style.
  • Bezel Settings: A metal rim encircles the stone, either fully or partially, providing a clean, secure setting that’s ideal for everyday wear.
  • Asymmetrical Designs: Inspired by moi et toi (me and you) styles – like Ariana Grande’s famous engagement ring – these feature two or more stones set off-centre, creating a balanced but unique look.

Whether you’re looking for an engagement ring or a show-stopping cocktail ring, these adventurous settings make for truly one-of-a-kind pieces. Talk to the Christopher Evans team about your design ideas today. 

4. Champagne Diamonds

“A softer, romantic alternative to the classic white diamond.”

While traditional white diamonds will always be timeless, champagne diamonds are having their moment. With their warm, golden-brown hues, these diamonds offer a softer, earthier feel that works beautifully in both engagement rings and everyday pieces.

According to Vogue, champagne diamonds are set to become a major player in 2025, not just in engagement rings but across all types of jewellery – from delicate studs to statement necklaces.

Their neutral tones make them versatile and sophisticated, pairing beautifully with both yellow and rose gold settings. If you’re after something unique but still timeless, a champagne diamond could be the perfect choice.

5. Art Deco & Step-Cut Gemstones

“The roaring twenties are back – again.”

Art Deco-inspired jewellery is making a strong comeback this year, characterised by geometric shapes, bold lines, and the use of step-cut gemstones.

So, what’s a step-cut? Unlike the popular brilliant cut (which focuses on maximising sparkle), step-cut gemstones – like emerald cuts or baguette cuts – emphasise clarity and clean lines. These cuts create a hall-of-mirrors effect, giving stones a sleek, elegant appearance that fits perfectly with Art Deco designs.

Expect to see lots of:

  • Geometric patterns
  • Bold symmetrical designs
  • Intricate metalwork

These designs aren’t limited to engagement rings either – they’re cropping up in earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, making a bold statement that still feels timeless.

6. Modern Pearls

“Classic pearls – with a twist.”

Pearls are back in a big way, but this time with a modern edge. Think asymmetrical shapes, unexpected settings, and pearls paired with mixed metals or even gemstones for a contemporary take on this classic material. This trend ties in beautifully with the wider marine-themed jewellery movement that’s currently popular – perfect for anyone who loves the idea of ocean-inspired elegance.

7. High-End Beaded Jewellery — A Luxe Twist on a Boho Trend

“Beads are trending – but here’s how to make them elegant.”

Beaded jewellery is everywhere in 2025, with colourful, boho-style beads dominating the trend. But if plastic beads and festival bracelets aren’t your thing, there’s a way to embrace the look while keeping it high-end and elegant.

We’re seeing a luxurious take on beaded designs, where precious metals and gemstones replace the casual, colourful beads. Think delicate gold beads strung together for a polished look or diamonds incorporated into beaded-style rings and bracelets – perfect for those who want to nod to the trend without going full-on boho.

Here are some sophisticated beaded designs from our collection that add that luxe twist:

These pieces let you enjoy the playful feel of the beaded jewellery trend while keeping it timeless, wearable, and undeniably luxurious.
