Jewelry is becoming a way for people to show off their unique style. While classic and timeless design is here to stay, it is evolving with bolder elements and becoming personalized. And true style is an expression of your true individuality. Tiara Dodi, founder of Treasures by Tiara, said: “2025 is the year we redefine what ‘classic’ means in jewellery. While quality and timelessness remain important, the design becomes bold, expressive and completely unique. Jewelry is a celebration of individuality and expression that cannot be ignored.”

She mentioned:

• Large cuffs and rings strike the perfect balance between luxury and everyday wearability.
• Statement pieces like whimsical ruby ​​chokers, vibrant necklaces and bejeweled cufflinks lead the way.

Tiara Dodi elaborated, “Bright gemstones like sapphires and emeralds add a touch of color and elegance.” It also points to the personalization of jewelry, breaking away from tradition while staying true to classic design

The classics are here to stay

Classic jewelry will be a prominent trend in 2025, but with a cool, modern twist that redefines timeless elegance. This type of design makes jewelry not only timeless but also fashionable. Yash Kataria, co-founder of Kumari Fine Jewellery, explained, “We are seeing a resurgence of vintage designs mixed with contemporary touches, all about balancing bold statements with subtle elegance.”

He listed:

• Layered necklaces with significant motifs and chunky statement rings are making a big comeback, allowing wearers to easily show off their individuality.
• The combination of different shades of gold, especially 14- and 18-karat gold combined with materials such as mother-of-pearl and enamel, becomes one of the main points for creating diverse and unique pieces.
• While dainty charm bracelets remain a classic, bold cuffs take center stage in their modernity.
• Asymmetry is key in earrings – think mismatched pairs, sculptural studs and dramatic hoops that make a statement. Ear piercing continues to flourish, with subtle yet striking designs that add personality.
