If you want to refresh your wardrobe this season, don’t overlook the power of your accessories. Jewelry is one of the easiest (and most impactful) ways to uplevel your look and express your personal brand.
As a wardrobe stylist, I always remind my clients that great style isn’t just about what you wear but how you wear it. If you’ve been following along, you know I am not a gal who follows trends, but these are actually great trends that can become classics or are new takes are classics. Here are my top five jewelry trends for summer 2025, plus the ones you might want to let go of.
Trending: Jewelry Styles That Will Be Everywhere
1. Sculpted Resin Bangles & Earrings
This ‘70s-inspired trend is having a luxe revival. Think bold, organic shapes in tortoise, amber, and vibrant colors. Today’s resin jewelry blends artistic design with high fashion, and it’s lightweight, versatile, and fun to wear.
Styling Tip: Wear one resin bangle solo for a minimalist statement look, or stack a few for a bold look. Try resin hoops with a simple summer dress or beachy linen set.
🛍️ Try $$$: Veronica Beard’s sculpted bangles
🛍️ Try $: Nordstrom set of 3 Resin Bangles or Anthropologie’s Round Bangle Bracelets
2. Layered and Multi-Charm Necklaces
More and more, we are seeing jewelry that tells a story, and charm necklaces do exactly that. Whether it’s initials, symbols, or gemstones, these pieces spark conversation and connection.
Styling Tip: Mix lengths and materials. Start with a standout charm necklace and build layers around it with delicate chains.
🛍️ Try $$$: Alemas Reverie Chain Necklace or Elizabeth Cole’s Good Luck Necklace.
🛍️ Try $$: Layered Charm Necklace from Nordstrom’s or Anthropologie’s Shades of Sea Layered Necklace
3. Beaded Bracelet Stacks
Playful, nostalgic, and full of personality, stacked bracelets are a summer must-have wristwear. You can go bold and colorful or stick with neutrals and metallics for a more classic feel.
Styling Tip: Stack 3–5 bracelets for maximum impact. Beads in mixed textures and tones create the most visual interest.
🛍️ Try $$$: Marcia Moran’s Nehara Bracelet
🛍️ Try $$: Frances Valentine’s Cabo Stack
4. Reimagined Hoop Earrings
Forget the basic hoops. This season’s styles come with a twist, literally. From geometric shapes to organic curves and mixed metals, hoops are going sculptural.
Styling Tip: Pair medium-sized hoops with structured blazers or flowy dresses. They add interest without being over the top.
🛍️ Try $$: Jenny Bird’s Gigi and Gemma hoops.
🛍️ Try $: Braided Hoops by J.Crew
5. Pearls, Reimagined
Not your mother’s pearls. This old but new trend is bold, asymmetrical, and anything but traditional. Think of baroque shapes, oversized designs, and unexpected details like coins and colored stones.
Styling Tip: Add an edgy pearl necklace to a classic outfit, or pair baroque pearl earrings with tailored separates for a modern twist.
🛍️ Try $$$: Lizzie Fortunato’s Helios Charm Necklace
🛍️ Try $$: Shashi’s Empress Pearl Earrings at Revolve.
🛍️ Try $: Layered Pearl Pendant Necklace at J.Crew
Jewelry Trends Losing Steam
- Chunky Statement Necklaces – We’re trading heavy, one-outfit wonders for versatile, lighter layers with meaning. I will be honest, I still have a few Statement Necklaces I love, and I will bring them out come fall and winter. Again, wear what you love and feel confident in.
- Matchy-Matchy Sets – It’s okay to mix metals, textures, and wearing what feels authentic will create a more personal and modern look.
- Ultra-Delicate Micro Chains – Mid-weight styles like paperclip links are more durable, visible, and easier to style.
Final Thoughts
You can wear the same jewelry every day, but what if, instead of thinking of it as a chore, you thought about accessorizing as a way to amplify who you are? The right piece(s) can spark confidence, help create connections, and help you build a personal brand that’s unforgettable.
