From sea-inspired pendants to earthy gemstones

Summer 2025’s biggest jewelry trends are all about having some fun with your accessory game. There are rainbow-colored gemstones, necklace strands reimagined from paracord, and sea-inspired jewels. With the ongoing heatwave, artful styling is probably the last thing on your mind, but that’s where jewelry comes into play; a statement necklace or eye-catching ring can make even the simplest outfit look (and feel) ultrachic.

Earlier this year, we started to see the revival of ’90s-style pendant cord necklaces and charm necklaces, both of which easily transition into the warmer months ahead. They look just as good peeking out from underneath a linen button-down or layered atop a structured bandeau top or bikini. Another trend gaining traction? Pearls. But these baubles are not the cookie-cutter strands that generations past might have opted for. In 2025, these pearls are organically shaped, colored in blue and violet, and stacked next to colorful stones for a visually striking contrast.

Below, we break down the five key summer 2025 jewelry trends you’ll see everywhere.

From fish-shaped pendants to silver-plated mussel shells, our favorite jewelry this season is taking inspiration from the deep sea. This nautical-inspired trend is perfect for adding a breezy and charming effect that works just as well for a day at the beach as it does for a summer night out.

From leather strands to the same paracord you’ve been using to spice up your boat shoes, this season’s hottest necklaces are stylish and functional. Don’t worry about fidgeting with a tiny clasp before you head out the door; these styles were meant to slip on and go.

Stone jewelry started popping up everywhere in the spring, from Sophie Buhai’s opulent pearl and onyx drop earrings to Mango’s multitude of affordably priced stone-encrusted accessories. The trend’s return can be traced back to the spring/summer 2025 runway shows, where brands like Saint Laurent, Chloé, and Di Petsa featured endless strands of chunky colored gemstones. This summer, the trend continues to dominate.

This season, pearls are also seeing a revival. But these aren’t the same strands your grandmother wore; today’s versions are decidedly more playful and less polished, so that their organic shape shines and can be paired with brightly colored stones for an elevated effect that is still full of fun.

Charm necklaces are all grown up. This summer, our favorite pendants are made from 18-karat-gold vermeil and feature an abundance of pearls, tiger’s eye, turquoise, and Peruvian amazonite.
