Main Jewellery Trends at the 2025 Hong Kong Trade Show

Every year, the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show sets the stage for what’s next in fine jewellery and 2025 was no exception. This year’s event revealed a bold yet timeless direction, with trends that celebrate individuality, romance, and craftsmanship.

From the glowing return of yellow gold to the rise of serpent motifs and champagne diamonds, these trends are shaping the future of jewellery in the UK and beyond. Here’s a closer look at the designs that caught everyone’s eye and how you can make them part of your story through our Ready-to-Ship Rings collection.

1. Yellow Gold is the Leading Metal

It’s official: yellow gold has reclaimed its place as the star of 2025. With its warm, glowing tone, it was everywhere at the show from delicate solitaires to bold statement rings.

Yellow gold offers timeless elegance but also feels modern when paired with unique cuts or contemporary settings. Its resurgence shows that clients are seeking jewellery that feels classic, personal, and versatile.

2. Bezel Settings for Security and Style

The bezel setting where the stone is encircled by a rim of metal was a strong favourite at the trade show. Not only does it look sleek and modern, but it also provides excellent protection for diamonds and gemstones, making it ideal for daily wear.

This practical yet stylish choice is perfect for engagement rings, and we expect to see more UK clients requesting it in 2025.

3. Romantic Heart-Shaped Diamonds and Gemstones

The heart cut is making a serious comeback. Heart-shaped diamonds and gemstones were showcased everywhere, symbolising love and individuality. Designers embraced both classic diamond hearts and playful coloured stones like sapphires and rubies.

These shapes are perfect for romantic souls who want jewellery that makes a statement.

4. Chunky Italian-Style Ring Designs

Chunky, sculptural rings inspired by Italian craftsmanship were another major trend. These bold designs, often in yellow or rose gold, are striking, luxurious, and perfect for stacking or wearing solo as statement pieces.

Their texture, weight, and presence make them a standout trend for clients who want jewellery that feels powerful and stylish.

5. Serpent-Inspired Jewellery

One of the most striking motifs at the 2025 Hong Kong show was the serpent. Long associated with eternity, rebirth, and protection, serpent-inspired jewellery appeared in rings, bangles, and pendants.

Designers played with coiled shapes, gemstone eyes, and diamond-studded details to create jewellery that was symbolic and striking.

6. Unique and Antique Diamond Cuts

While round and oval diamonds remain timeless favourites, this year’s show celebrated antique and unique diamond cuts. Think rose cuts, Asscher cuts, and elongated antique-style stones.

These cuts bring individuality and a touch of history to each piece — perfect for clients looking for something distinctive and meaningful.

7. Warm-Toned and Champagne Diamonds

Finally, champagne and warm-toned diamonds emerged as one of the most exciting highlights. Their earthy tones ranging from honey to amber were embraced for both engagement rings and statement jewellery.

Set in yellow gold or rose gold, they create jewellery that feels warm, romantic, and unique, offering a fresh alternative to traditional white diamonds.
