Top Jewellery Trends for 2025 — And How to Make Them Your Own

Stephen Alan's Jewellers - The Jewellery Blog

If you love keeping your jewellery box fresh, 2025 is your year.

This year’s trends are all about boldness, personal style, and jewellery that tells a story. Whether you’re drawn to the return of maximalism or looking for a modern twist on a classic pearl, there’s never been a better time to explore something a little different.

At Stephen Alan’s Jewellers, we don’t just follow the trends—we help you shape them, with our bespoke design service that lets you create a one-of-a-kind piece, designed just for you.

Here’s a look at the jewellery styles making waves in 2025 and some inspiration for how you could bring these trends to life with a bespoke design that’s uniquely yours.

1. Layered Necklaces

The trend: Think long, low-hanging chains, mixed textures, and elegant messiness. Chain stacks are big news this year, whether they’re dainty or dramatic.

Bespoke idea: Why not design a layered necklace set that tells your story? You could combine different gold tones (rose, white, and yellow), add birthstones for each family member, or include a personalised charm or locket engraved with initials or a meaningful date.

Stephen Alan’s tip: With our in-house goldsmith, Dean Quy, we can design each layer to sit perfectly, so it looks effortless, but wears beautifully.

2. Striking Statement Pieces

The trend: Big, sculptural, and bold. Oversized earrings, chunky cuffs, and futuristic rings are all having a moment.

Bespoke idea: Go bold with a custom cocktail ring featuring an eye-catching gemstone like amethyst, garnet or even a coloured lab-grown diamond. Or work with us to design a sleek, sculptural cuff bracelet that fits your wrist perfectly and turns heads every time you wear it.

Stephen Alan’s tip: Statement pieces don’t have to mean uncomfortable. Our bespoke designs are made to fit you—down to the millimetre.

3. Modern Pearls

The trend: Forget perfect symmetry—2025 is all about baroque pearls, asymmetric designs, and pairing pearls with modern materials like enamel or brushed gold.

Bespoke idea: Love pearls but want something a little less traditional? We can source beautiful, uniquely shaped baroque pearls and pair them with minimalist gold settings or offset them with small diamonds or coloured stones for a modern twist.

Stephen Alan’s tip: Pearl engagement rings are also rising in popularity—something unique, elegant, and a real talking point.

4. Colourful Gemstones

The trend: Make way for colour! Aqua, garnet, citrine, cobalt and teal are bringing brightness to everyday and occasion jewellery alike.

Bespoke idea: Create a custom stacking ring set featuring your favourite colours—or even birthstones of your loved ones. Fancy a bold pendant in rich cobalt blue? We can help source the perfect stone and set it in the metal that suits you best.

Stephen Alan’s tip: Not sure where to start? Pop into the shop and take a look at some of the vibrant stones we already have in stock—we’ll help you choose the right one for your design.

5. Sporty Diamonds

The trend: Diamonds are no longer reserved for dressy occasions. This year, you’ll find them set into casual, wearable styles—chunky bands, quilted textures, and everyday pieces that sparkle without shouting.

Bespoke idea: A simple yet luxurious everyday ring, studded with tiny diamonds and finished in brushed white gold. Or why not design a diamond pendant that works with your workwear, gym kit, and evening outfits alike?

Stephen Alan’s tip: We can show you how to use diamonds in understated ways that still feel indulgent—perfect for daily wear.

6. Snake Motifs

The trend: Mysterious, ancient, and stylish—snake designs are back, slinking their way into bracelets, rings and necklaces. Often symbolic of rebirth, strength or transformation, they’ve got personal meaning as well as edge.

Bespoke idea: A coiled snake ring with gemstone eyes. A winding bangle that wraps around your wrist. Or a pendant that subtly echoes the curve of a serpent in profile. Every detail, from scale texture to stone placement can be customised.

Stephen Alan’s tip: Snake motifs look incredible in yellow gold, especially with a satin finish. Add a pop of colour with gemstone detailing in the eyes or tail.

7. Big Beads & Convertible Earrings

The trend: It’s playful, it’s fun, it’s versatile! Chunky beads in bold colours and earrings you can wear multiple ways are taking over.

Bespoke idea: Let’s design a two-in-one pair of earrings—studs that can be worn solo for work, or dressed up with a removable drop element for evening. Or go bold with colourful beaded designs made using your favourite gemstones or enamel accents.

Stephen Alan’s tip: Love the idea of something versatile? We can create pieces that give you multiple styling options, so you get more wear (and more joy) from every piece.
