The 6 Most Striking Jewelry Trends of Winter 2025
As the weather somehow gets even colder, we're reminded that there are still two more months of winter ahead of us—meaning there's plenty of time left to explore our favorite fashion trends of the season.
While the necessity of keeping warm can sometimes cramp our style (quite literally), there's nothing from keeping us accessorizing as a form of self-expression, and the winter's top jewelry trends have been some of our favorite in a while. To learn more about what we've been seeing, keep scrolling for six of the most striking jewelry trends of the 2025 winter season.
Bold Initial Pieces
Initial jewelry has always been a thing, but this season, we're seeing a major shift away from the tiny, dainty and delicate pieces of the past and moving toward bolder, prouder representations. Think bigger letters, more vibrant colors and accents with the help of different textures, stones and other ornamentation.

Playful Y2K-Inspired Rings
The Y2K trend isn't going away anytime soon, and we're happy to keep wearing playful, chunky pieces in every color under the rainbow. Rings, especially, have been a big deal this winter—particularly ones featuring cute characters, unusual shapes and other eye-catching graphics. Basically, the more fun and whimsical you can get with this look, the better.

Stacks on Stacks
We're stacking all of our jewelry this winter, from necklaces and rings to the classic bracelet stacks. Our favorite thing about this trend is that it's so versatile that anyone can wear it. Maybe you prefer chunky, colorful bangles or slim and sleek bracelets. Perhaps you prefer to create a cohesive look with all gold, or all silver, or you like to mix metals for more variety and color. You can even mix different media, from wood and metal to plastic and leather. In the end, it's all about customization and whatever feels the most you.

Organic Botanical Accents
Organic and natural shapes are taking over, and we can't get enough. Rather than the more traditional, smooth jewelry shapes, these pieces incorporate some interest and unique texture with plant-inspired accents, whether that's leaves, vines, flowers or a combination of the three. They're particularly gorgeous rendered in metal, but also look extra cute carved into wood accessories.

Statement Pendants
Truly, this winter fashion season has been all about making a statement, which is why big pendants that showcase the wearer's personality have been everywhere. Because they're all about highlighting your individuality, they don't have to abide to specifically to any one trend. They can be highly decorate and ornate or chic and simple. They might be a classic coin pendant or feature an unusual, eye-catching shape.

Dynamic Tassels
Few jewelry trends stand out quite like tasseled looks, often incorporating soft fibers and leather in place of metals, and we're seeing the look more and more in 2025. We especially love tassels because of how dynamic they are, with a unique sense of movement when you wear them, and whether they're part of a necklace or earrings, or even on a bag, they can beautifully complement so many looks.
