After seasons of minimalism, designers are turning up the drama with bold jewelry. Architectural bib necklaces, oversized earrings, statement cuffs, and sculptural rings dominate the scene—2025 is all about making an impact.

Fashion houses are embracing excess, and it’s impossible to miss. Chanel reinvents its classics with chunky gold link cuffs and necklaces, while Louis Vuitton plays with oversized black metal chains, blending contrast and texture. Saint Laurent’s designs exude power with massive earrings and striking bracelets, refining silhouettes with intricate details.

Chloé leans into nature with golden shell-style necklaces, creating an organic yet fierce aesthetic. Roberto Cavalli and Leonard push boundaries with statement pieces inspired by animal motifs and geometric patterns, blurring the line between fashion and contemporary art. Jewelry is no longer an afterthought—it’s the main event.

This trend is a direct nod to the maximalist energy of the 2000s, when “too much” was just enough. Animal shapes, hearts, and an explosion of pearls are making a comeback. In 2025, forget subtlety—layer necklaces in all lengths, stack chunky bracelets, and mix oversized rings for a confident, unapologetic look. Texture is key: metals, pearls, rhinestones, and colorful resins all come together in a dazzling display of excess. The only rule? The bigger, the better.
