Diamond Jewellery

What’s the trend for diamond jewellery in 2025?

2025 looks like it’ll be a year of variety. Anyone who wants to dip their toe into diamond jewellery will have a wide range of options, from flashy statement pieces and heavy yellow gold designs to modern heirlooms and vintage-inspired options made of silver or white gold. 

Quiet luxury is more important than ever. People are ditching the flashy designer label for expensive but beautiful pieces that don’t have an obvious price tag or famous name attached to them. 

But in 2025, the focus will also shift to sustainability and ethics. Lab-grown diamonds are more popular than ever, thanks to a growing understanding of the issues associated with the traditional diamond industry. Diamond alternatives like moissanite and cubic zirconia have taken centre stage, as more affordable replacements.   

How do I choose the right diamond for my jewellery?

Diamonds are beautiful and timeless, but they’re also incredibly expensive. So if you’re looking to fork out for some luxury jewellery, you need to know what you want.

The cut of a gem refers to its shape. There’s a wide variety of options, from softer shapes (like round, oval, or cushion cuts) to angular designs (like the emerald or princess cut). 

Diamonds are famous for their clear appearance, but imperfections and inclusions can add hidden depth and colour to any gem. Colourful diamonds are also trending if you’re drawn to a more vibrant design. 

A diamond’s clarity refers to how many imperfections and inclusions it has. Diamonds with more inclusions have a lower price tag, are more unique, and are easier to budget for, but they’re not as perfect. 

The main driver of a diamond's cost is its carat weight, and bigger diamonds are often more expensive but look more expensive.

What is the difference between lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds?

Natural and lab-grown diamonds are functionally identical. They have the same chemical structure and physical properties, and it’s hard to tell them apart with the naked eye. 

The main differences between them lie in the cost (natural diamonds are much more expensive), ethics (natural diamonds are often found in conflicted zones), and their origin. 

Natural diamonds form in the Earth’s crust or near volcanic activity, and they’re often mined using a method known as ‘open mining’. This technique involves removing the top layer of soil to reach the gemstone layer, which can severely damage habitats and the local environment. 

As the name suggests, lab-grown diamonds are made in a laboratory. Heat and pressure are applied to a carbon-rich material around a diamond seed, a process that can take up to a few weeks to complete. They’re more environmentally friendly, but some see them as artificial. 

Can I personalise my diamond jewellery with engravings?

Personalised diamond jewellery is especially meaningful and can be the ideal gift for that special someone in your life or for those moments when you want to express yourself. Couples are often drawn to engraved diamond wedding rings or diamond pendants. 

Most pieces can be engraved with initials, dates, sentimental messages or quotes, or more complex designs like religious symbols or family crests. You usually have control over the font and content of an engraving, though most jewellers will advise you on what’s possible. 

What’s the best way to care for diamond jewellery?

Diamonds are among the hardest materials known to man. However, diamond jewellery still needs to be properly cared for to ensure its longevity. 

Clean any metal elements with a soft, damp microfibre cloth, or remove dirt with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Keep your jewellery away from excess water or harsh chemicals, and take it off to swim or exercise. 

Gemstones, including diamonds, should be checked and restored by a professional regularly to ensure that all the settings are secure and the stone is free of cracks.
