Seasonal Jewelry Trends: What’s In and What’s Out – New Zealand Winter 2025 Edition

As we step into the cooler months of winter 2025 here in Aotearoa, it’s time to refresh your style…and your jewellery box. Winter fashion is all about layering, texture, and thoughtful accessories that bring warmth and personality to your look. Whether you're cosying up in knitwear or dressing up for a night out, the right jewellery can transform your outfit from simple to stand out.

At FV Jewellery, a local, women- and family-owned New Zealand jewellery business, we’re proud to offer a collection that reflects the season's top trends—featuring high-quality stainless steel jewellery, sterling silver jewellery, pearls, and semi-precious stones in a range of colours from black jewellery to rose gold, silver, and yellow gold.

So, what’s trending this winter—and what’s time to retire? Let’s take a look.

What’s In – Winter 2025 Jewellery Trends

Dark Metals & Black Jewellery

This season, there’s a shift towards edgier tones. Black jewellery and sterling silver pieces are leading the trend, perfect for adding depth to winter outfits. These moody hues work especially well with cool-weather tones like navy, grey, and emerald.

Try pairing a black onyx bold ring with a wool coat or layering silver necklaces over a high-neck knit.

Layered Looks with Mixed Metals

Winter is the perfect time to layer, and that includes your jewellery. Play with rose gold jewellery, silver jewellery, and yellow gold jewellery to create a rich, multidimensional look. Stack rings, combine textures, and don’t be afraid to mix finishes.

Stainless steel chains, stacked with a delicate sterling silver necklace, bring a modern twist to everyday layering. Create your look in our Steel Me & Bijoux collections.

Celestial-Inspired Pieces

From crescent moons to starry motifs, celestial jewellery is having a major moment. These designs feel magical and sophisticated—especially when crafted in yellow gold or silver, and paired with semi-precious stones like moonstone or onyx.

A Steel Me Soleil necklace in either Tiger’s Eye or Black Onyx? Yes please.

Modern Brooches & Pins

Brooches are back in a big way. Far from being old-fashioned, today’s pins are sleek and sculptural. Whether it’s a minimalist stainless steel brooch or one adorned with semi-precious gems, they’re a chic way to elevate coats, scarves, and jackets.

Frosted Gems & Pearls

Cool-toned gemstones like blue topaz, aquamarine, and opal reflect the icy vibes of the season. Meanwhile, pearls—especially baroque or mismatched—continue to reign as a timeless winter staple.

Combine a freshwater pearl bracelet with your favourite knit jumper for a look that’s both cozy and classy.

What’s Out – Trends to Retire This Winter

Barely-There Jewellery

Minimalism has its place, but winter 2025 is calling for bolder, more visible pieces. Delicate, hard-to-see chains are giving way to chunkier, eye-catching designs made from durable stainless steel or sterling silver.

Obvious Logos

Logo-heavy designs are phasing out as more people opt for personalised, meaningful jewellery. At FV, our designs have been crafted to share in your stories, without the loud branding.

Overly Bright Colours

Bubblegum brights and neon accents are being replaced by elegant, winter-friendly tones like deep garnet, smoky quartz, and muted metallics. Earthy semi-precious stones and black jewellery are leading the way.

Maxed-Out Ear Stacks

Instead of loading up every piercing, this season favours a more intentional approach. A mix of rose gold, sterling silver, and pearl studs creates a curated look without feeling overdone.
