Top 5 Jewellery Trends of 2025: Insights from Layla Kaisi Collection

Introduction

As we step deeper into 2025, the world of fine jewellery is experiencing a powerful renaissance. In New Zealand and beyond, jewellery lovers are gravitating toward designs that celebrate bold self-expression, deep meaning, and conscious craftsmanship. At Layla Kaisi Collection, we’ve been closely observing these shifts—and more importantly, shaping them.

This blog explores the top five jewellery trends shaping 2025 in New Zealand and beyond—from sculptural statements to sustainable elegance—offering insight into how these movements are influencing New Zealand’s fine jewellery landscape, and how Layla Kaisi Collection is not only leading the way, but redefining what modern luxury means.

1. Sculptural and Architectural Designs

Jewellery this year has become more than an accessory—it’s wearable art. The sculptural trend embraces bold silhouettes, unexpected forms, and fluid lines that feel as though they’ve been carved by nature or inspired by modernist architecture. These designs move with the body and catch light in captivating ways, creating a sense of movement and drama. From asymmetrical earrings to cuffs that wrap like abstract sculptures, these pieces command attention while maintaining refined elegance. At LKC, our recent OUTRÉ collection is a masterclass in sculptural form, infusing symbolism and fluidity into every line and curve.

2. Maximalism and Statement Pieces

Minimalism is making room for grandeur. In 2025, we’re seeing a rise in maximalist jewellery that isn’t afraid to be seen. Oversized precious stones, vibrant enamel detailing, and layered textures are being worn not as accessories, but as declarations of identity. These statement pieces exude confidence, allowing the wearer to embrace colour, scale, and story. Think dramatic cocktail rings, chandelier earrings, and vibrant gemstone chokers. 

We view maximalism through an editorial lens—each piece is a visual narrative, designed to evoke emotion and presence.

3. Personalised and Bespoke Creations

Now more than ever, clients are looking for jewellery that feels intimately their own. Bespoke-designed engagement rings, heirloom reinventions, and engraved talismans are growing in demand. These bespoke creations are more than trends—they are time capsules of emotion, memory, and intention. 

Personalisation can take many forms: a carefully chosen coloured diamond that holds special meaning, a significant date delicately engraved, or a secret symbol woven discreetly into the design, known only to the wearer. LKC’s bespoke journey is deeply collaborative—each piece is shaped by our clients' stories, then brought to life with artistry and intention.

4. Sustainable and Ethical Choices

In 2025, sustainability is more than a trend—it’s a reflection of evolving values. A growing number of clients are choosing jewellery that not only looks exquisite but also carries a story of integrity. One rising focus is the use of reclaimed antique diamonds—gems of significance that already hold history, reimagined into new, meaningful designs. These stones offer a timeless beauty and character that can't be replicated, celebrating sustainability through craftsmanship and preservation.

Moreover, our sourcing process for the finest precious stones is transparent and deeply considered, with a commitment to ethical practices and environmental responsibility that connects us directly with the miners and cutters of the stones we work with. We invite our clients to explore our Ethics & Sustainability page, where we outline our approach in detail—from short supply chains to mindful craftsmanship. In every facet, we believe luxury should respect both people and planet.

5. Mixed Metals and Textures

Forget the outdated rule of matching metals. 2025 is all about fearless mixing—combining yellow, white, and rose gold to create dimensional, layered looks. Textural contrasts—polished finishes beside brushed or hammered details—add richness and intrigue. This trend invites creativity and versatility, encouraging wearers to blend the new with the nostalgic. At LKC, we curate pieces that seamlessly mix metals and textures, designed to be stacked, layered, or worn solo with intention.
