Demi-parure sets are once again the ultimate fashion flex.

Our editors at VERANDA are always keeping close tabs on what's at the forefront of the design industry, and jewelry design is no exception. Jewels are so indicative of this moment in time: Beautifully designed jewelry helps define how we see the world and our culture and what is interesting and artful. It helps us parse through what is important and what is not, what to pause over and take in.

Whether it's the materials, gemstones, or silhouettes that are catching our attention, we are breaking down the important notes here with an eye towards what you should be adding to your own jewelry collection next. Here, the biggest jewelry trends for 2025 and beyond.

Fashion and jewelry have always gone hand in hand—besides being worn together, the attitude of one complements the attitude of the other, many designers from each side dip their toes (or hands, as it were) into the other, and there will always be that needed push and pull between the two.

Some claim jewelry is forever, while fashion is fleeting, but, lately, jewelry designs have been taking cues from their fair friend. Diamonds set together to mimic lace, like in Dior's Delicat jewelry collection, a Mikimoto pearl necklace boasting a stone-encrusted bow clasp, and amazing high jewelry pieces knit rock crystal together like the yarns of your coziest sweater (hello, Boucheron's Le Tricot necklace and earrings from their Histoire de Style collection) have all turned our heads.

Enameling has made a fast ascent in jewelry design over the last few years, and even more so in the last few months. Clever and in-your-face uses of enamel make it the star of the show, rather than just a stand-in for gemstones, as it used to be. Whether covering the entire surface of a ring or used in really interesting settings and facets, enamel has serious clout in jewelry design, and we are here for the bold, colorful, and edgy approaches jewelry designers are taking with the material.

Enamel, which is a decorative coating made from powdered glass or minerals that give the piece a sort of glassy, colored wink can be seen front and center on these door-knocker earrings from designer Sidney Garber or on this Dubai-inspired ring, created by Savolinna Jewelry.

The natural world informs everything we do—the color palettes, the textures, the way the land shifts and changes—and it all acts as fodder for designers when they are creating. Jewelry designers have always looked to Mother Nature for inspiration, and the current situation shows that that still continues in strong force. Le Vian was recently inspired by the spectacular golden hues that one sees in the sunsets over the Amalfi coast and Capri as the sun dips into the Tyrrhenian Sea, hence the brand's new Tramonto D'Oro diamond ring featuring chocolate and nude diamonds set in a warm yellow gold that mimics the color of the sunset.

Sometimes, designers also find inspiration in the materials found in nature, like Octavia Elizabeth's carved wooden cuff. White diamonds set in intervals in yellow gold dot the top of the bracelet, giving it additional sparkle.

Once, it was the height of fashion to wear matching sets of jewelry (much like fashion's nod to the matching two-piece outfits that seem to be all over our Instagram feeds these days). A parure (taken from the French verb parer, meaning to adorn) is a set of jewelry usually consisting of a necklace, pair of earrings, bracelet, and brooch, while a demi-parure set was usually two more pieces, like a necklace and pair of earrings—the more informal approach, if you will.

Fast forward to 2024, and we are seeing a solid comeback of these demi-parure sets, from several high jewelry maisons. David Morris, Tiffany & Co., and Pomellato all released striking necklace and earring pairings in their recent high jewelry collections, but these aren't stuffy or fussy—rather, they are fresh, colorful, and, dare we say, avant-garde.

Pomellato's collection was an ode to the dualism of the city in which the brand is based, and the Spinelli du Fuoco necklace and earrings perfectly illustrate this cool take on sets. Tiffany & Co.'s new high jewelry collection Céleste takes a deeper look at Jean Schlumberger's fascination with the heavens, with sets like the Iconic Star mosaic necklace and earrings leading the dazzling suite charge.

Here at VERANDA, we are also seeing a shift from overly feminine scrolls and curls to more and more geometric shapes and forms in jewelry settings. For example, Maja Dubrul's Doppler III earrings feature stacked tourmalines (paired with an organically shaped South Sea keshi pearl to turn the pair on its head) that bring the geometry of the stones to the forefront of the design. As an added bonus, Dubrul makes them asymmetrical, further increasing their impact.

David Yurman's Carlyle bracelet features interlocking hexagons for a decidedly striking design. It harkens back to the patterns one would see in geometric floor tiles or the patterns of David Hicks's iconic rugs—proving once again that design in all shapes and forms is always inspiring the other.
