Dainty Jewellery Is Lovely, But These 6 Statement Pieces Are in a Different Style League
Jewellery is my favourite thing to buy: fact. So much so, that I've acquired the nickname "Magpie Maisie" from my family, but I'm not mad about it.
Luckily for me, there's a plethora of accessories to choose from this year, from earrings and anklets to bracelets, necklaces and watches. Designers have certainly leaned heavily into the finishing touches for spring/summer 2025. And within each category are numerous subcategories, which makes identifying jewellery trends quite the undertaking. Take the world of earrings: there are studs, stacking earrings, drop designs, huggies and chunky hoops; and that's before I get into the metal, gems and size.
That being said, one overarching trend I spotted on the S/S 25 runways was statement jewellery. Anything bold, big and beautiful stood out—in particular, the larger-than-life pieces at Balmain, Zimmerman, Saint Laurent, Moschino and Chloé, where designers proved that more is definitely more; as mixed metals, two-in-one designs, bold colours and oversized jewellery dominated their shows. As always, some of my favourite content creators have quickly followed suit as early adopters of some of 2025's chicest statement jewellery trends.
Whether you're styling a casual everyday look of jeans, a cardigan and trainers, or dressing for an elegant evening affair, statement jewellery is the finishing touch to complete any look. To prove my point, I've scoured runway images and turned to my aforementioned favourite influencers to seek out the chicest statement jewellery trends to bookmark for this year.
From affordable high-street jewellery to mid-range labels and high-end pieces I aspire to own, here are the best statement jewellery trends for 2025, and my favourite picks to shop.
The Best Statement Jewellery Trends for 2025
1. Maxi Floral Earrings
Style Notes: Oversized earrings have worked their way in and out of our jewellery collections over the years, but 2025 is set to see larger-than-life floral earrings takeover. Shuting Qiu, Paloma Spain and Bottega Veneta's S/S 25 runways saw beaded botanicals steal the show. Thankfully, high-street brands such as Zara, Anthropologie and Mango have heard our cries for giant blooms at affordable prices.
Shop the Trend:
The clip fastening means everyone can wear these, even those without pierced ears.
2. Supersized Pendants
Style Notes: It's not only earrings going supersize for 2025 but pendants too. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Nicole Richie have nailed the boho-inspired trend, wearing smooth stones and shiny metal pendants on long cord ropes. Another way to do it is by layering long chains à la Alaïa, Chloé and Vivienne Westwood.
Shop the Trend:
This bold pendant looks so much more expensive than it is. I recommend wearing it on its own to let it shine.
Pearls continue to be a popular jewellery trend for 2025. This pearl pendant on an adjustable black rope chain can be worn as a choker or longer—a versatile addition to your jewellery box.
Wear this with a white T-shirt and jeans to brighten up a casual daytime look.
3. Jet-Black Jewels
Style Notes: Black onyx gems truly up the ante of an outfit when added as a finishing touch. Look to Dolce&Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood and Emporio Armani for inspiration in the form of glossy earrings, bold chain-link necklaces and chunky bangles. Don't forget black brushed metal to add texture to a look.
Shop the Trend:
Wear with the coordinating earrings to complete the set.
Shop the matching Onyx Earrings (£165).
The links are interchangeable, so you can swap them out for other coloured links, flip around for a gold drop-down, or remove the hoop entirely, for a truly bespoke pair of earrings.
4. Asymmetric Accessories
Style notes: Asymmetric accessories were a recurring theme from numerous designers this season. From Chloé to Schiaparelli, big names made a case for throwing matching sets to the wind. Instead, mismatched earrings, mixed-size links, uneven beads on a bracelet and varied lengths on a lariat necklace are taking over. I love that there are numerous ways to get on board with this trend (and none of them are wrong), so get experimenting with your jewellery collection.
Shop the Trend:
The contrast between the mismatched chain links and the ball fixtures makes this a unique piece. Wear on its own or stacked with other bracelets.
I always rely on Completedworks to provide statement jewellery, and these earrings nail the brief. The soft drop-down pearl earring makes a playful contrast to the "crumpled" gold style sitting in the opposite ear.
5. Two-in-One Earrings
Style Notes: The two-in-one earring trend is my favourite new way to level up your ear game. You can even double up on earring trends by combining this look with asymmetric or maxi-floral pieces. At Chloé, charms were layered upon charms on shell earrings, whilst McQueen's earrings almost resemble a long pendant.
The idea here is to get creative. Weave an ear threader through a single lobe piercing as a drop-down earring or pop it through multiple piercings. Style jacket earrings as huggies or ditch the back and wear them as a simple stud. Alternatively, add charms to your ear stack instead of your necklace and bracelets. The options are endless, and I urge you to experiment.
Shop the Trend:
Ear threaders can be worn through one hole for a classic look, or woven through a second piercing to achieve a modern twist on the style.
Let your styling creativity run free with PDPAOLA's labradorite earrings. Add numerous drop-down charms either on a single earring or both.
Ear jackets are multifunctional, hugging the lobe and resembling a drop-down earring. Remove the drop-down element and fit a standard butterfly to the back, and you have yourself a pair of everyday studs.
6. Cuffing Season
Style Notes: Resin bangles, thick bands and chunky cuffs for the wrists, neck and ears continue to reign in 2025. This trend is a big one to bookmark, as renowned designers including Chanel, Miu Miu, Balmain and Isabel Marant demonstrated how best to master this trend to suit your style.
Shop the Trend:
Cuffs aren't only for the wrists and ears, but necks too. I find collars can be restrictive, but Anthropologie's Open Collar Necklace allows for more breathing space whilst still exemplifying the trend.
