Fine jewellery sees trends in a different way to fast fashion. High end gemstone jewellery, gold jewellery, and platinum jewellery, are pieces we enjoy in our collections for years, decades, and even generations. So trends are less of a chop-and-change passing fad. Instead, trends add to the memories and stories the piece is all about. They’re trends that we’ll love in our collections for the long haul.
We’ve covered the trends in engagement rings we’re watching in 2025. Now, let’s look at trends of dress pieces entering your collections at the moment. Here are the 4 trends we’re seeing at our Canberra jewellery studio to watch in 2025.
1. Luxury Signet Rings
There’s a strong, growing love of signet rings for all occasions. In the luxury jewellery space, signet rings are a representation of who we are, what we value, and what we love. It’s this sentiment that’s soaring in popularity, with designs incorporating the nuances of the important things we want to be conscious of as we go about our days.
As well, there’s a growing trend of signet-like ring profiles for diamond rings, with bezel settings that flow seamlessly to a wide look band. Either as an engagement ring, or a dress ring, this style is both modern, and practical to wear.
2. Pink Diamond Jewellery
Australia’s Argyle diamond mine - the most significant source of pink diamonds in the world since the 1980s - closed its operations in 2020. So, for the last few years, collectors have taken the chance to include this gemstone in everything from engagement rings, to wedding rings, to pendants and remodels.
Knowing they’ll be harder and harder to get hold of makes these pieces true treasures for gemstone lovers. Whether it’s as a feature gem, or a minor accent, each piece featuring Australian pink diamonds are a tangible piece of Australia’s (and the world’s) history of gemstones.
3. Inset Gemstone Rings
Rings with gemstones set flush with the band are becoming a highly sought after ring style, for all occasions. This style has been a favourite for remodelling multiple jewellery pieces into one cohesive band, though it’s now extending far further into designing new one of pieces as dress rings, wedding band, and milestone celebrations.
These wider style bands are comfortable to wear, durable, and are a modern way to incorporate colour into a ring style you’ll wear day to day, with the bonus that the gemstone is protected within the ring. Blue gemstones in particular - in all shades and gemstone varieties - are seeing the spotlight in a big way for this style of ring, with meaning and personality showing through in gemstone selections.
4. Heirloom Remodelling
While heirlooms have always been a loved treasure, there’s a growing interest in remodelling family jewellery and pieces from former chapters in our lives, into new pieces we can wear all the time - rather than stashing them in a safe place, to never see the light of day.
We’re seeing more and more people redesigning meaningful gemstones and design elements into fresh and sturdy new designs that allow them to keep the memories their heirlooms hold as part of their everyday life through jewellery. Each treasure is an honour to help recapture.
Emerging trends are a great way of finding fresh inspiration for a unique jewellery design, and adding to the time capsule that fine jewellery represents in your life-long collection.
