Jewelry and Designer Bags Drive 2025 Trends

For summer 2025, jewelry and accessory trends are blending nostalgia with modernity, focusing on personalization and playfulness. In the U.S., the jewelry sector is experiencing robust growth with an emphasis on Americana-inspired designs, durable American-made pieces, and increased adoption of lab-grown diamonds due to rising gold prices and tariffs. European and U.S. designers are showcasing bold, colorful accessories like chunky resin bangles, jelly sandals, and gemstone chokers, while using alternative materials such as wood and leather to offset soaring gold costs. Major events like the Couture Jewelry Show in Las Vegas highlight these creative adaptations and the comeback of cocktail rings. Designer bags are also taking center stage, with brands such as Miu Miu and Balenciaga innovating on classic shapes and driving strong growth in the resale market. Across both jewelry and bags, heritage elements are being reinterpreted through fresh, creative twists that emphasize longevity and individuality.
