6 Expensive-Looking Jewellery Trends That Fashion Insiders Are Confidently Backing for Spring 2025
Take a cursory scroll through social media and you'll start to notice that the best outfits all have one thing in common: exceptional jewellery.
From everyday hoops to curated stacks, signets to eye-catching engagement rings, jewellery has always had the power to transform a good outfit into a great one, and instead of playing sidekick to ready-to-wear, well-crafted pieces are rising to the fore in 2025 and becoming the foundation that we build our looks around.
Whether your passion is collecting high-end investment pieces like Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Tiffany & Co. or if you're an experimental dresser who likes to switch up their look with costume styles, more and more of us are looking for ways to elegantly upgrade our looks by adding the perfect finishing touch. Thankfully for us, this is where luxe new jewellery trends really come into play.
After a particularly dreary winter, the countdown to spring is on, and whilst many of you will be shelving your winter coats and sturdy boots in anticipation, at Who What Wear UK, we're looking ahead to what the next big jewellery trends will be for the sunnier season. After the year that championed cord necklaces, green stones, chunky bangles and chokers, we're keen to see what 2025 has in store, so who better to ask than the true experts in their field—jewellery designers?
We talked to the women behind some of our favourite jewellery brands to share the trends they predict will be bubbling up over the next 12 months and deserve a spot in your jewellery box right now. From everyday elegance to the truly special pieces to treasure, these are the six jewellery trends you're going to want to wear this spring and beyond. A quick warning though: there are some seriously covetable pieces ahead.
1. Modern Pearls
Style Notes: Pearl jewellery is a forever classic, but if you're tired of the same stud earrings and string necklaces, 2025 is breathing new life into this old favourite. "After seasons of pearls layered upon pearls, 2025 will see designers reimagine the trend by pairing pearls with gemstones like white or blue topaz, bringing a fresh, elevated take," notes Laura Vann, founder of V by Laura Vann. "Unexpected pairings like baroque pearls set against geometric-cut stones will result in jewellery that feels equally suited to special occasions and everyday wear." Our top tip? Pair supersized pearls with ruffled, lace and organza clothing for a nod to the longstanding coquette trend.

2. Bohemian Beads
Style Notes: It just wouldn't be spring/summer without a holiday-ready jewellery trend, and our favourite beach accessory—beaded jewellery, is sticking around for another year. "I expect to see beads continue in popularity in 2025, and with Pantone predicting the use of 'fresh and optimistic' colours, I expect to see energetic hues like electric-blue lapis cut in playful ways," adds Vann. Consider stacking clashing colours and textures for maximum effect, and mixing metals is also highly encouraged. After all, is there anything better to pair with pretty dresses, sandals and tanned skin?
