Jewellery is not only for accessorising, but it’s the magic touch-up that elevates any look from dull to dazzling.

Expressive jewellery

From completely unique styles to classics with modern touches, 2025 will see a lot of expressive styles.

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."

Vibrant gemstones

Vibrant jewellery will be in trend.

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

Classics like hoops and layered necklaces will still be loved in 2025.

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.

As a lifestyle journalist, she crafts compelling, relatable narratives across diverse touchpoints of the human experience, including wellness, mental health, relationships, interior design, home decor, food, travel, and fashion that gently nudge readers toward living a little better. For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun. Always up for a chat, she believes the best stories come from unfiltered yapping, where "too much information" is kind of the point. A graduate of Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi, and an alumna of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Delhi, Adrija spends her idle hours cocooned with herbal tea and a gripping thriller, scribbling inner monologues she loosely calls poetic pieces, often with her succulents in attendance. On lazier days, she can be found binge-watching, for the nth time, one from her comfort-show holy trinity: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Modern Family. Dancing by herself to her peppy playlists, however, is an everyday ritual she swears by religiously.
