Jewellery has always been about more than just sparkle – it’s a powerful form of self-expression, and this season’s jewellery trends are all about bold statements, unexpected textures, and pieces that feel deeply personal.
Whether you’re into quiet luxury or full-blown statement pieces, this season’s trends are anything but boring. From reinvented vintage vibes to artsy gems you’ll never want to take off, here are the 5 trends we’re fully backing.
Brooches Are Back (But Not Like Your Nan’s)
This isn’t your grandmother’s brooch. The new wave is sleeker, bolder, and way more versatile. Think schiaparelli, sculptural metal, abstract florals, and unexpected placements – pinned to bags, lapels, or even knits. It’s a fresh way to elevate your outfit with just one piece. This is just one of the jewellery trends we’re loving right now – and it’s definitely one to shop this season.
Shopping Local is hot
More and more people are choosing to support local jewellers – and for good reason. Not only does it mean more thoughtful, small-batch designs, it often comes with a story. Local pieces feel personal, and the craftsmanship tends to speak for itself.

Sculptural Jewellery That Doubles as Art
This season, we’re seeing jewellery that blurs the line between accessory and sculpture. Organic curves, architectural forms, and statement silhouettes are taking over. These are the kinds of pieces that hold their own – even with the simplest outfit.

Heirloom Energy
There’s a real shift towards timeless, heirloom-style pieces that feel like they could have been passed down (or will be). Think chunky gold rings, vintage-inspired pendants, and classic settings with a modern edge. It’s all about pieces that hold meaning, not just trend appeal.
East-West Diamonds
A subtle twist on the traditional, East-West diamond settings are popping up on everything from rings to bracelets. Turning the stone horizontally gives a modern, streamlined feel – still classic, just a little unexpected. It’s a small design choice that makes a big impact.
