Emma Fox, jewellery expert at Pandora UK has shared her thoughts on the biggest jewellery trends for autumn 2025.
1. Statement necklaces
Emma explains: “Dainty and minimalist jewellery has dominated the industry over the past few years, however, 2025 has seen the return of statement pieces in a big way. In particular, statement necklaces, whether they’re cord, adorned with charms, or simply boast a chunky chain, these pieces can provide an effortless way to elevate a simple outfit and add a touch of personality.
“During the summer, layering delicate necklaces is the perfect way to complement flowy and breezy outfits and break up the chest area.
“However, as we head into autumn and embrace practicality with heavy knits and cardigans, we can expect to see chunky statement pieces, particularly charm necklaces, being relied upon to break up these solid colours and textures.”
2. Oversized pieces
“Colder temperatures mean longer sleeves and more layers, which makes autumn the perfect season to experiment with oversized pieces to ensure our jewellery is still able to hold its own. In summer, we saw statement cuffs and bangles take centre stage, however, autumn will be all about statement earrings, oversized pendant necklace and chunky rings.”
3. Pearls
“While pearls can often be seen as a summer trend, they can also work surprisingly well heading into autumn. Their chic and subtly luxurious appearance makes them the perfect pairing for a trench coat or knitted jumper, as well as any autumnal hues like navy blue, burgundy, or cosy neutrals.”
4. Mixed metal
“Mixed metal jewellery has been a huge trend this year, and it shows no signs of slowing down. The style can give simple pieces a contemporary refresh, elevating practically any outfit and making it a great option for autumn dressing.
“Not feeling limited to just one metal allows you to be much more expressive, and it even enables you to dig out pieces you haven’t worn in a while that don’t match the rest of your collection.”
5. Sculptural and textural jewellery
“Sculptural jewellery has been one of the biggest trends of 2025, with retailers and designers experimenting with a range of organic shapes and textures. This trend will continue to gain popularity in autumn as a way to elevate an outfit and add interesting elements in a classic way. I particularly love twisted and curved shapes – they’re a great option for every season, but especially autumn, as they almost feel comforting and work with practically every outfit!”
