Top Jewelry Trends Straight From NYC: Elegance Meets Edge

Hello, gorgeous souls! ✨ If you’ve been keeping up with my latest posts, you know I’m always on the hunt for the hottest jewelry trends. Well, I recently attended the NYC Jewelry Shows, and let me tell you—there are some stunning new pieces that I can’t wait to share with you. From bold gemstone necklaces to edgy pinky rings, these jewelry trends are perfect for adding that extra flair to your collection. Here's a breakdown of the top jewelry trends for 2025 that you’ll want to add to your wardrobe.

1. Beaded Gemstone Necklaces: Natural Beauty Meets Luxe Design

One of the standout jewelry trends I spotted in NYC was beaded gemstone necklaces. This trend has been around a couple years now, and I'm thrilled she's still here. These necklaces are an easy way to incorporate texture into your daily neck stack, adding a pop of color to any outfit. Whether you're drawn to vibrant turquoise, calming rose quartz, or deep lapis lazuli, these gemstone beads bring an earthy, bohemian vibe that’s still incredibly chic. Gemstone beaded jewelry is all about layering, so mix different colors and textures to create a personalized statement look. Whether you wear one as a delicate standalone piece or stack several together, beaded necklaces are an effortless way to elevate your jewelry collection.

Styling tip: We love the earthy green tones in this Luis Morais beaded necklace. Perfect alone or with a gold stack, this adds a subtle pop of color.  

2. Pinky Rings: The Ultimate Power Piece

Another major trend taking over is the pinky ring—it’s back, and it’s bolder than ever. A personal favorite, this is the perfect statement piece if you're looking for unique rings that show off your personality. Pinky rings for women are versatile, from sleek, minimalist designs to more intricate, decorative styles with gemstone accents or engraving. They add a sophisticated yet edgy vibe to your overall look. Whether you're styling a stacked ring look or wearing a single, bold signet ring, this jewelry piece exudes confidence and class. 

Not sure if you can pull off a pinky ring? Trust us, you can. This Anzie signet ring is the best place to start. Wear it as is, or get something engraved on the top!

3. Edgy Jewelry Pieces: Skulls, Daggers, and More

For those of you who love a bit of edge, this trend is for you. The NYC jewelry shows were filled with edgy jewelry designs, from skull rings to dagger necklaces, offering a fierce twist on traditional styles. These bold jewelry pieces are perfect for anyone who loves to incorporate an alternative, rock-n-roll style into their wardrobe. Whether you're rocking a skull pendant covered in pearls, a bone-inspired toggle bracelet, or a dagger pendant, these pieces are all about making a statement. Edgy jewelry adds a touch of toughness and individuality, and it’s the perfect way to showcase your personality through your accessories. They're the perfect marriage of class, sophistication, and edge.

4. Gemstone Inlay Jewelry: Colorful and Intricate Designs

Gemstone inlay jewelry is one of the most refined jewelry trends emerging from the NYC shows. These gemstone inlay rings, pendants, and earrings feature gold and gemstones set into large carved stones with incredible craftsmanship. The use of gemstone inlays creates vibrant, multi-dimensional designs that pop with color, making each piece feel like a wearable work of art. The intricate details and striking color combinations make gemstone inlay pieces the perfect choice for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and want to add some personality to their look. 

These four jewelry trends from the NYC Jewelry Shows are already making waves in the fashion world, and for good reason. Whether you're drawn to the natural elegance of beaded gemstone necklaces, the bold statement of a pinky ring, the rebellious energy of edgy jewelry pieces, or the timeless beauty of gemstone inlay designs, there’s something for everyone this season. Keep an eye on these 2025 jewelry trends, and let me know which ones you’re most excited to try!
