Welcome to wedding season — the season of love, confetti, emotional toasts, and, of course, jewellery that deserves its own spotlight. Whether you're the bride, a member of the glam squad, or a sharply dressed guest with mysterious allure, one thing is timeless: diamond jewellery.
Because let's face it — diamonds don’t just catch the light. They catch feelings.
Sculptural Simplicity: The New Elegance
In 2025, diamond jewellery is embracing its minimalist era — and we’re not mad about it. Forget over-the-top sparkle; it’s all about intentional design, meaningful details, and old-school romance with a modern twist.
This summer, we’re seeing:
- Platinum and white gold dominate — cool tones that pair beautifully with coloured stones.
- Bezel-set solitaires, double-diamond bands, and subtle combinations of white and champagne stones.
- Elongated shapes like ovals, marquises, and elongated cushions. Why? They look luxe, feel fresh, and flatter every hand by making fingers look longer (you're welcome).
And for the sentimental crowd, vintage-inspired is in. Think: story-rich settings, heirloom cuts like Asscher and pear, and diamond pieces that look like they came from your great-grandmother — but in a good way. This is the year of “curation over convention.” Build your own story through intentionally mismatched earrings, mixed-metal stacks, or revamped heirloom stones.
Sustainably Sparkly: Luxury With a Conscience
Diamonds are forever — but that doesn’t mean the planet should pay the price. 2025 brides and buyers are asking bigger questions:
- Was this responsibly sourced?
- Is this lab-grown or natural?
- Do I know its origin?
At Upon A Star, we hear you. That’s why we’re committed to using responsibly sourced materials — and we’re actively working on offering GIA-certified stones in the coming months. Because ethical sparkle is the best kind of sparkle.
From the Stylist’s Notebook: Personal, Powerful Jewellery
As a diamond jewellery consultant and stylist, I’ll let you in on a secret: the best jewellery isn’t just pretty — it’s personal.
Whether you're the one saying “I do,” leading the dance floor, or showing up in your signature style, your jewellery should feel like you — refined, unique, and full of meaning.
Let’s find the pieces that tell your story — whether that’s a modern ring with a vintage soul, or an intentionally mismatched stack that celebrates every chapter of your journey.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about diamonds.
It’s about love, legacy, and that perfect piece that makes you feel unique.
xx,
M
