Expressive jewellery
Jewellery is becoming a way for people to show their unique style. While classic and timeless designs are here to stay, they’re evolving with bolder elements and becoming personalised. And true style is all about expressing your true personality. Tiara Dhody, Founder of Treasures by Tiara revealed, “2025 is the year we redefine what ‘classic’ means in jewellery. While quality and timelessness remain essential, designs are evolving to be bold, expressive, and entirely unique. Jewellery is all about celebrating individuality and making a statement that’s impossible to ignore."
She mentioned:
- Oversized cuffs and rings strike the perfect balance between luxury and everyday wearability.
- Statement pieces like intricate chokers with rubies, striking necklaces, and embellished cufflinks are leading the charge.

Vibrant gemstones
It's not all monochrome in 2025 as colourful gemstones bring a burst of colour to classic designs. These stones give a statement edge to the classic. Tiara Dhody elaborated, “Vibrant gemstones such as sapphires and emeralds add a touch of colour and elegance.” This also nods to the personalization of jewelry, moving away from tradition while still staying true to classic designs
Classic is here to stay
Classic jewellery is set to be a prominent trend in 2025, but with a cool, modern edge that redefines timeless elegance. This type of design makes the jewellery not only timeless but also trendy. Yash Kataria, Co-founder of Kumari Fine Jewellery explained, “We’re seeing a resurgence of vintage-inspired designs blended with a contemporary touch, it’s all about balancing bold statements with subtle elegance."
He listed out:
- Layered necklaces with meaningful motifs and chunky, statement rings are making a strong comeback, letting wearers showcase their individuality effortlessly.
- The combination of different gold tones, especially 14k and 18k gold paired with materials like mother of pearl and enamel, is becoming a staple for creating versatile and unique pieces.
- While dainty charm bracelets remain a classic, bold cuffs are taking centre stage for their modern edge.
- In earrings, asymmetry is stealing the show—think mismatched pairs, sculptural studs, and dramatic hoops that make a statement. Ear piercings continue to thrive, with delicate yet impactful designs adding a personal touch.
So after a unanimous forecast pointing at classics, it's time to revamp your jewellery collection by adding the mandatory ever-green pieces. Now depending on your OOTD (outfit of the day) whether you go with dainty classic pieces or expressive, statement classics, you decide.
