Jewelry Trends to Shine in Spring/Summer 2025: Pearls, Statement Pieces & Mixed Metals

by Lina Clémence July 10, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


As the days grow longer and brighter, Spring/Summer 2025 invites us to accessorize boldly, expressively, and with a touch of nostalgia. This season’s jewelry trends celebrate maximalist energy, timeless elegance, and personal storytelling—all while bridging vintage flair with modern intention. From reimagined pearls to brooches making a runway-worthy comeback, here’s what’s trending now in the world of jewelry.

Pearls—But Not Your Grandmother’s

Pearls are having another major moment, but forget the dainty strand. This season, it’s all about unexpected pearls—oversized, baroque, mixed with metal, or layered with leather. Think sculptural pearl chokers, single-drop earrings with exaggerated proportions, and necklaces that pair pearls with bold hardware. It’s elegance meets edge.

  • Style Tip: Stack different lengths of pearl necklaces or wear a chunky pearl collar with a simple tank or strapless dress for high-low contrast.

Statement Jewelry with Sculptural Power

Minimalism takes a backseat this season as bold, sculptural pieces dominate. Oversized cuffs, collar necklaces, and asymmetrical earrings bring drama in the best way possible. Designers are leaning into fluid shapes, raw finishes, and organic materials—making each piece feel like wearable art.

  • Style Tip: Let your statement piece speak for itself. Pair an abstract earring or metallic cuff with a monochromatic outfit to let the jewelry shine.

The Brooch Is Back

Yes, really. Brooches have returned—not just for lapels and formalwear, but styled on denim jackets, baseball caps, scarves, and handbags. Vintage-inspired or modern and minimalist, brooches are now a key way to personalize and punctuate any look.

  • Style Tip: Cluster multiple brooches together for an editorial effect, or use a single striking piece to secure a scarf or elevate a blazer.

Colorful Gemstones & Glass Beads

Color continues to reign, especially in the form of translucent glass beads, semi-precious stones, and vibrant enamel. These playful gemstone pieces add whimsy to summer wardrobes and evoke the DIY spirit of the early 2000s—but with a grown-up twist.

  • Style Tip: Mix high and low by pairing handmade or beaded pieces with fine jewelry, or stack colorful rings for a rainbow effect.

Charms & Personal Touches

Customization is in. From initial pendants to charm-laden chains, 2025 is all about jewelry that tells a story. Whether it’s a nod to your heritage, a love token, or a talisman for protection, let your accessories reflect you.

  • Style Tip: Build a charm bracelet or layered necklace that evolves over time. Add pieces from travels, vintage finds, or gifts with meaning.

Mixed Metals & Textures

There’s no need to choose between silver or gold anymore. This season encourages mixing metals, combining finishes, and layering textures. The result? A rich, dimensional look that adds depth and dynamism.

  • Style Tip: Try stacking rings or bracelets in different metals or wear a necklace that features a mix of silver, brass, and rose gold.

Final Thoughts

Spring/Summer 2025 jewelry trends are all about bold self-expression and timeless reinvention. Whether you’re pulling out heirloom brooches or stacking modern pearl chokers, let your accessories be a conversation starter. The best part? There are no rules—only reflections of your personal style.

NARS Light Reflecting Luminizing Powder + Afterglow Lip Shine (New Shades)

by Lina Clémence July 1, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


NARS launched some newness in highlighter and lip gloss and I have a review today! The Light Reflecting Luminizing Powders ($42 each) are exclusive to Ulta Beauty and NARS. The new shades of the Afterglow Lip Shine Lip Gloss ($28 each) are available at all NARS retailers like Sephora, Nordstrom, Ulta Beauty and Bluemercury.

Afterglow Lip Shine Lip Gloss

The Afterglow Lip Shine Lip Gloss* is one of the smoothest glosses I’ve tried and they added new shades which I think are beautiful. The shades run on the sheer side for a barely there kind of tint but they still show up on the lips. I prefer a little more pigment in my gloss but these wear very nicely and feel so smooth and hydrating I really don’t mind them being so sheer. (Other shades reviewed + swatched here.)

Wear time is pretty good if your lips don’t touch anything else. They aren’t the longest lasting though so you will have to reapply after a few hours. New colors are all 10/10 pretty. They are on the deeper side so if you prefer lighter shades these might be too dark for you.

  • Get Happy is a pretty soft rose pink
  • Dolce Vita is a warm rose
  • Make a Move is a muted orange/apricot
  • Smooth Talk is a transparent taupe
  • What If is a cool toned brown

NARS also recently launched a new addition to their Light Reflecting line with a Light Reflecting Luminizing Powder. These are high shine shimmers with a highly reflective finish. The pigment is easy to control but they do pull very metallic on the skin. The shimmer is a little chunky, but if you apply with a finger or dense brush it will smooth out. If you have texture or large pores you might want to pass as these will emphasize them.

I received Heavenly* at a NARS event in Miami (quick peek here in case you’re curious!) and I purchased the others from Ulta. I still think Heavenly is the best one, it’s a really stunning pink.

  • Eros is a soft cool toned ivory
  • Electra is a light champagne
  • Ophelia is a golden champagne
  • Heavenly is a metallic pink
  • Total Eclipse is a warm copper shimmer

Since the shimmer and glistening effect is on the intense side I don’t know that I can wear these everyday. They do make for a really beautiful special glow, but I prefer the subtle glow of the newer Prada Highlighters. Also I know the Chanel spring highlighter quad is sold out, but I am still reaching for that one on a regular basis.

Looks wearing each highlighter with a different lip. For skintone reference I wear the NARS Light Reflecting Foundation in either Vanuatu or Barcelona right now and the Radiant Creamy Concealer in Ginger. (My lighter spring time foundation shade is Sahel).

Overall love the lip shines, I am really loving the Heavenly Highlighter. The other shades are stunning but I have some skin texture issues on my cheeks right now so I have to go easy on the highlighter.
