Jewelry Trends To Know For Mother's Day 2025

Jewelry Trends To Know For Mother's Day 2025

Forbes05-05-2025

Mother's Day has become a prominent date in the calendar. If you're thinking of giving jewelry this Mother's Day, there are many new trends to consider. From a modern interpretation of the classic pearl to striking statement earrings, there is something to suit every mother's style, making this a meaningful and symbolic gift.
According to Wunderkind, US consumers spent $33.5 billion on Mother's Day—a 68% increase over the last decade, and 84% of U.S. adults celebrate Mother's Day in categories like jewelry, apparel, flowers, and skincare.
Pearls are a classic item that has made a comeback this season, as seen at the Spring Summer 2025 collections for design houses including Chanel, Moschino and Bottega Venetta. Speaking over email to Lucy Crowther, founder of Minka Jewels, she told me that this revival has taken place over the past two years, but today's pearls have a modern twist to them and don't resemble the traditional sets of the past. 'We have been stringing pearls on vibrant-colored threads while using the traditional knotting technique specific to pearls. Tahitian pearls look stunning when paired with a bright green thread, which enhances the dark green and gold tones of the pearls beautifully,' she said. She explained that as everyone is drawn to color, combining this with the simple beauty and purity of a pearl's iridescence is a trend that is here to stay.

Adding texture to pearls is another subcategory that is rising in popularity. As described by Jessie Thomas, from Jessie Thomas Jewelry, pearls can be modernized by marrying them with textured gold and gemstones. 'I often add black rhodium to give a traditional pair of pearl earrings a rock'n'roll edge,' she says. Jessie loves using baroque pearls in her designs because they feel very contemporary and a bit unusual, but ultimately, because they work for women of all ages.
Another category we have seen on the runway is marine-inspired jewelry. I emailed Cece Fein Hughes, from Cece, to talk about her creations, and she told me that she has always loved incorporating marine-inspired designs in her jewelry. 'The ocean and its creatures hold so much meaning to so many people, from its calming presence to the memories it stirs of seaside escapes and adventures. It's timeless and universally evocative, which is why I think people will always gravitate towards it,' she said.
Marine-inspired jewelry has a way of blending elegance with storytelling, and this year, we will see this trend becoming even more sought-after as people embrace meaningful and effortlessly chic designs. On the runway the trend was prominent at Roberto Cavalli, Chloe and Schiaparelli's Spring/Summer 2025 shows. It also reflects people's environmental awareness, and as Lito Karokostanoglou, founder of Lito, told me, jewelers get inspired by nature's beauty and are keen to design jewelry that reminds us of nature or use materials that come from nature.
The torque style is bold and simple, with a clean and elegant structure, and it aligns perfectly with the modern desire for minimalism and a return to the 90s aesthetic– as seen at Gucci and Chloe's catwalk presentations for Spring/Summer 2025. Laura Vann (founder of Laura Vann ) tells me that she loves how clean they are and how chic they look when resting on a bare collarbone. 'They have an air of nostalgia that could nod to the 90s but also feels hard to pinpoint as they date back thousands of years ago!'
Bold, sculptural earrings are another look we will see more of this summer (as seen at Saint Laurent's Spring/Summer 2025 show). Inspired by the power-dressing of the 1980s, they can elevate an outfit instantly.
According to Rachel Boston, from Rachel Boston, statement pieces can be highly versatile; gold earrings, as an example, are an easy way to add an element of interest to a more casual look or to add personality to a more formal outfit. 'I find that framing the face with earrings instantly makes someone look put together and elegant, and I love that yellow gold specifically has a warm glow about it that looks good on more or less everyone,' she says. This is emphasized by Alexia Karides, founder of YSSO, who adds that big sculptural earrings are trending because people are interested in pieces that elevate their existing wardrobes and can mix and match with the most basic outfits. 'I think it's a translation of the 'lipstick effect', where people cut down spending but spend on little luxuries that allow them to feel good, express themselves and treat themselves'.

Ear Cuffs are another statement earring that is proving to be very popular (as seen at Valentino Spring/Summer 25), as are single earrings such as the Bee Goddess apple seed gold blue diamond single earring from her latest Apple Seed Collection. This earring, perfect for unpierced ears, symbolizes spring, new beginnings, transformation, and the magic of love. The collection includes many pieces, such as rings and necklaces.

Rosanna & Christie Wollenberg, founders of Otiumberg told me over email that cuffs are increasingly loved and multi-generational. 'We've seen women in their 50s or 60s buy for themselves while gifting the same piece to their daughters.' Perhaps one of the reasons for their recent surge is that you can build up your ear stack with no piercings required and take it from a single cuff on one side to layering them up, mixing different metals, and making a statement.
Charms have always been a fantastic way to tell stories through jewelry as you can assemble a personal collection over time. They're individual, sentimental, and endlessly versatile—and that's precisely why people love collecting them. Cece Fein Hughes tells me that charms will always hold a special place in jewelry and continue to be a timeless trend. They have been present recently on the catwalk in many shows, including Chloe and Balmain Spring/Summer 2025.

Silver is also back in vogue. At Otiumberg, silver sales are 244% higher than last year. Rosanna & Christie tell me that silver is a beautiful precious material customers love. And there is an integrity to it that captures our hearts: 'I love that silver doesn't pretend to be anything else, unlike gold vermeil or other metals that try to mimic the appearance of more expensive materials. It proudly embraces its unique character and charm", says Sophie Howard, founder of By Pariah.
With so many styles available, whether you want to explore silver pieces, pearls, statement earrings or charm bracelets, it's a fun time to explore the latest jewelry trends. And, if shopping for someone else, a great way to find what will best express their personality.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hold hands leaving dinner date at Palm Beach restaurant

Florida is one hell of a drug. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted holding hands while leaving a dinner date at Buccan restaurant in Palm Beach on Wednesday night. A video shared on X by a fan showed the couple making their way to a waiting SUV after enjoying their meal at the upscale cafe. The 'Lover' songstress donned a black minidress for the romantic outing with her beau. She styled her hair up into a bun and wore a red lip. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end coordinated with the pop star, sporting a black shirt with black-and-white checkered pants. At one point, Kelce waved at onlookers on the sidewalk, while Swift flashed a smile. Photos of the duo, both 35, inside the restaurant showed them in good spirits. They were seen chatting while looking over the menu, and Kelce was seen laughing enthusiastically. The A-list couple's dinner date comes after the 'Cruel Summer' singer announced last week that she purchased the masters for her first six studio albums. 'I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found that this is really happening. I really get to say those words,' Swift gushed in a letter on her website. 'All of the music I've ever made … now belongs… to me.' Swift and Kelce, meanwhile, have slowly been making their way back into the spotlight after retreating following the Chiefs' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl. The pair resurfaced for a Mother's Day outing with Travis' mom, Donna Kelce, in Philadelphia last month. They also stepped out for a date night at Harry's in West Palm Beach, Fla., on May 23. At the time, Swift and Kelce were spotted cozied up in a booth while sipping on some drinks. They have been spending time in the Sunshine State as the tight end rents a $20 million mansion in Boca Raton. Kelce reportedly snagged the property in April as he gears up for the forthcoming NFL season.

Insiders drop major clue about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement timeline

Ready for it? Insiders believe they have an idea of when Travis Kelce may propose to Taylor Swift. 'Once he is done playing [football], the conversation will be front and center,' a source told the Daily Mail, referring to the NFL star returning for another season with the Kansas City Chiefs. The source also said that the pop star's parents, Scott and Andrea, are looking forward to Kelce proposing to their famous daughter. 'Everyone is just waiting for Travis to ask her parents for her hand in marriage, her parents will say 'yes,' and they can't wait for them to get engaged. Nothing seems to be imminent, but it will 100 percent happen,' the insider told the outlet. 'Taylor and Travis are treating this relationship as their last relationship, and when they get engaged, when they get married and when they start a family, it will be exactly when it is meant to happen.' Kelce — who was spotted on a date night with the singer at Harry's Bar and Restaurant in West Palm Beach last Friday — is currently training for the upcoming NFL season in the Sunshine State. According to a previous report from the Daily Mail, Kelce is treating the upcoming season 'as his last.' A source told the outlet that the NFL star's friends and family members are eyeing Super Bowl 2026 as a potential target for Kelce's retirement — and an engagement. Back in May, Swift, 35, was spotted spending time with the Kelce clan for Mother's Day in Philadelphia, fêting potential mother-in-law Donna and potential sister-in-law Kylie at a local restaurant and fueling speculation that the relationship is escalating. Meanwhile, Travis, also 35, has taken up residence in a $20 million Florida retreat while getting in shape for his 13th NFL season — following the Chiefs' dramatic loss to the Philadelphia Eagles during Super Bowl 2025. Through it all, the Daily Mail's source said Taylor has been impressed by how Travis treats their respective families. 'Taylor is impressed with Travis in so many ways, but how he interacts and treats his parents and her parents, whether they are all together or not, is beyond compare,' the insider noted. 'There is a lot that Taylor has been able to see of the person Travis is by the way he treats family, and she just loves it,' they continued. 'When they start a family of their own, she knows that it will be perfect because she has seen it firsthand that he puts in the work to be such a family man.' Plus, both Taylor and Travis feel that 'anytime they can all hang out together' with family, 'the better,' the source divulged. The insider further claimed that both sets of parents are supportive of the famous couple's romance. 'They are enjoying every part of their relationship, and their parents are all in,' the insider added. 'Friends are all about it, too. It is just a perfect life for them all right now, they can't believe their good fortune, but they also aren't taking it for granted.' Taylor and Travis began dating in the summer of 2023. Since then, the singer has been spotted hanging out with Donna while cheering on her man during various football games. Travis, meanwhile, supported Taylor at multiple stops on her Eras Tour, at one point even making a surprise on-stage appearance in London last June.
