Share
Permanent jewelry isn’t just growing—it’s booming. Search interest is up 8% year-over-year with an impressive 242K monthly searches, driven by TikTok and Instagram audiences diving headfirst into the trend .
If you're an artist or small business owner offering permanent jewelry, here’s what’s hot right now—and how to lean into these trends to boost bookings and box-office buzz.
1. Layered Looks That Blend Effortless + Intentional
Stacked, mixed-metal permanent bracelets, anklets, and necklaces are huge right now. Customers adore combining delicate chains with chunky links for that “casual layered” aesthetic. Think everyday elegance with a twist of attitude.
How to serve it:
- Offer curated “link stacks” with complementary lengths and textures.
- Promote matching sets—bracelet + anklet or necklace + bracelet.
2. Pearls & Charms Get a Modern Makeover
Pearls are back with a bang—no longer just for luxury classics. They are sleek, modernized, and often paired with charms. Popular charms are single and double pearls, birthstones, and initials/alphabet letters.
How to serve it:
- Add trending charms for a wide variety. Invest in options to stand apart from other permanent jewelry artists.
- Offer a special sale for adding on charms, or include one free charm per purchase to incentivize sales!
3. Chunky Chains and Stacks
This year, the vibe is big, bold, and stacked pieces. Think statement cuffs, thick link bracelets, and tennis-style chains that make an impact.
How to serve it:
- Stock premium gold-filled and sterling silver chains in a variety of styles and sizes
- Offer stack options and show customers what complements their selection. If they decide to add a second or third bracelet, offer a stack discount.
4. Colored Gemstones & Lab-Grown Diamond Accents
There's a shift toward color: vibrant birthstones, lab-grown diamonds, and CZ accents are popping up in permanent pieces. These add a luxe feel without the luxury price tag.
How to serve it:
- Include gemstone and CZ charms on staple chains.
- Educate clients on lab-grown vs. natural stones for savvy marketing.
5. Mixed Metals = No Rules, Just Style
Forget sticking to one metal—2025 is all about mixing gold, rose gold, and silver for that eclectic yet curated look .
How to serve it:
- Have mixed-metal chains ready or offer combo bundles.
- Use sample sets to spark inspiration (“Try this gold filled + silver combo!”).
