Holiday Jewelry Trends for 2025
If you’re looking to blend current fashion with timeless appeal, consider these holiday jewelry trends that are both popular and enduring:
Bold Gold
Chunky gold necklaces, wide bangles, and statement earrings are making a strong comeback. These pieces pair beautifully with both casual and formal wear.
Colored Gemstones
Sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and less common stones like tourmaline or topaz add a vibrant pop of color. Great for personalizing gifts.
Layered Looks
Layering thin necklaces, bracelets, or stacking rings allows for customization and creativity.
Nature-Inspired Designs
Florals, leaves, and organic textures are perfect for someone who loves earthy or artistic style.
Many of these trends can be found in our shop or ordered from one of our many trusted design catalogs. Don’t see it? Ask us!

Why Antique Jewelry Makes the Perfect Holiday Gift
Antique jewelry carries more than beauty. It carries a story. At Design One Jewelers, our curated collection of antique and vintage pieces offers something rare: the opportunity to give a gift with history, craftsmanship, and lasting character.
Many antique pieces were handcrafted during eras when jewelry-making was a true art form. From Edwardian filigree to bold Art Deco geometry, these designs often can’t be found in modern stores. They’re not just accessories; they’re wearable heirlooms.
Antique jewelry is ideal for:
- The romantic who appreciates timeless elegance
- The history lover or collector
- Someone who values uniqueness and authenticity
“Previously Treasured” Gifts with Purpose
Our previously loved pieces are hand-selected for quality, condition, and style, then professionally cleaned and restored when needed.
Why Choose Previously Treasured Jewelry?
- Better Value: often priced well below brand-new counterparts
- Eco-Friendly: reusing existing materials reduces environmental impact
- Full of Character: styles and designs you won’t find in today’s mass market
From elegant estate rings to vintage gold chains, previously loved jewelry can be both a smart and sentimental gift choice. It’s a way to give something meaningful that aligns with sustainable values.
