Sparkling Jewelry Trends: Earrings, Rings & Necklaces

Jewelry trends in 2025 are all about personal expression, bold design, and timeless radiance. Whether it’s a pair of sculptural earrings, a standout necklace, or a statement-making ring, this year’s most captivating styles are made to reflect you—and shine in every moment.

At Plateau Jewelers in Sammamish, WA, we specialize in creating custom jewelry that captures the spirit of current design while staying true to your story. These are the sparkling jewelry trends that are setting the tone for the year across earrings, rings, and necklaces.

Earrings That Frame the Face

Earrings are commanding more attention in 2025, with designs that blend structure, softness, and storytelling. Whether subtle or bold, this year’s earring trends emphasize texture, silhouette, and sparkle.

1. Sculptural Hoops

Hoop earrings have been reimagined with modern twists—think asymmetrical curves, braided textures, or mixed metals. These statement pieces are wearable art.

2. Diamond Studs with a Twist

Classic studs aren’t going anywhere, but 2025 brings updates like halo-set diamonds, north-south orientations, or invisible settings that enhance sparkle without adding bulk.

3. Drop Earrings with Gem Accents

Whether featuring pear-shaped diamonds, freshwater pearls, or vibrant colored gemstones, elongated drop earrings add elegance with movement and light-catching brilliance.

Pro Tip: Ask about customizing drop earrings with personal birthstones or heirloom-inspired settings.

Rings That Reflect Personality and Presence

Engagement rings may anchor the conversation, but fashion-forward rings are stealing the spotlight too. This year, layering, color, and architectural forms are redefining what makes a ring memorable.

1. Modern Solitaire Engagement Rings

Minimal doesn’t mean boring. The modern solitaire is set with clean, precise lines—east-west settings, bezel frames, and low profiles that feel sleek and contemporary.

2. Multi-Stone & Three-Stone Designs

Symbolic and bold, these rings mix diamonds, sapphires, or other meaningful stones in creative layouts. Whether offset, symmetrical, or asymmetrical, these designs tell your story in full color.

3. Stacking Bands with Texture

From hammered finishes to twisted details, stacking rings are more expressive than ever. Stack two, three, or more—mixing textures, widths, and metals is the trend.

Did You Know? Plateau Jewelers offers custom anniversary bands that stack perfectly with your engagement ring—designed to grow with your story.

Necklaces That Make a Statement

Necklaces in 2025 strike a balance between refined minimalism and expressive design. Whether worn alone or layered, today’s styles are centered around detail, dimension, and customization.

1. Solitaire Diamond Necklaces

Clean and elevated, these timeless staples are seeing a resurgence—especially in oval and emerald-cut pendants suspended on fine chains.

2. Layered Chains

Mixed-length chains in yellow and white gold, textured links, and delicate charms are trending for their casual elegance and flexibility. Many designs feature removable or interchangeable pendants.

3. Personalized Elements

Custom touches—like engraved initials, monogrammed charms, or hidden stones—bring deep meaning to everyday wear. Whether it’s a milestone necklace or a gift, personalization is more desired than ever.

Design Tip: For a layered look with intention, combine one short station necklace, one medium solitaire pendant, and one longer chain with a drop detail.

Emerging Style Themes Across All Jewelry

Several larger design themes are influencing all jewelry categories this year. Here’s what we’re seeing:

Minimalism with Meaning

Refined, clean lines are still in—but now with deeper storytelling elements. Expect custom engravings, birthstones, and designs with symbolic geometry.

Mixed Metals

Two-tone jewelry is not just trending—it’s becoming a go-to for clients looking to wear both yellow and white gold. Mixing metals adds contrast and versatility to your jewelry wardrobe.

Textured Finishes

Smooth is beautiful, but 2025 is leaning into hammered, brushed, braided, and oxidized finishes that give dimension and tactile interest.
