The 2025 Grammys lit up Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night with a dazzling fusion of music, fashion, and, of course, breathtaking jewelry. As the industry’s brightest stars arrived in their finest couture, one thing was clear—this year’s red carpet wasn’t just about celebrating music’s biggest achievements, it was also about making elegant and deeply personal jewelry statements.
While the night paid tribute to first responders and the victims of LA’s recent wildfires—with many guests opting for a more restrained aesthetic—the jewelry still managed to shine. Adding a heartfelt touch, musicians and industry icons donned blue heart pins in support of MusiCares, a charity aiding music professionals affected by the fires.
Even with a more subdued atmosphere, the 2025 Grammys jewelry choices struck the perfect balance between luxury and wearability. Stars embraced timeless elegance, layering on statement pieces that felt both high-fashion and effortlessly versatile. So, what trends ruled the night? Let’s break it all down.
Minimalist & Rewearable Jewelry
Once again, our 2025 jewelry trend predictions at Sewelo proved to be spot on. This year is all about minimalism and sustainability, and the Grammy red carpet confirmed that with stunning, versatile jewelry designed to be worn beyond just one big night.
Leading the charge was Beyoncé, who graced the carpet in custom Lorraine Schwartz earrings featuring natural pearls and cognac diamond drops, including a pair of 50-carat pear-shaped diamonds. Sabrina Carpenter followed suit, shining in a Chopard Haute Joaillerie diamond necklace featuring a 5.02-carat pear-shaped diamond, matching earrings, and a ring boasting 6.06 carats of diamonds.
These pieces of jewelry are the perfect blend of elegance and longevity—jewelry designed to be treasured and re-worn for years to come.
Chokers & Diamonds
Chokers continue to dominate, and at the 2025 Grammys, they were not just statement starters—they were the moment. The trend was led by Victoria Monét, who layered Bulgari’s iconic Serpenti snake collars, adding a bold, sculptural touch to her ensemble. Heidi Klum went all in on diamonds, donning an emerald-cut diamond choker from Lorraine Schwartz that turned heads with its sheer brilliance. Meanwhile, Charlotte Lawrence also embraced the Bulgari Serpenti aesthetic, proving that serpents and diamond chokers are far from a fleeting trend—they’re here to stay.
Gemstone Rings
While many stars kept their outfits and necklaces minimalist and sophisticated, they did not hold back when it came to rings. If the flashing cameras weren’t bright enough, the 2025 Grammys gemstone rings certainly added extra brightness.
Doechii stacked up dazzling David Yurman diamond rings, proving that more is always more when it comes to red carpet bling. Meanwhile, Cynthia Erivo—a longtime lover of bold statement rings—delivered a masterclass in layering with her striking Messika ring stacks. Tori Kelly and Willow Smith also leaned into the trend, flaunting oversized, high-carat gemstone rings that nearly outshone their outfits.
Personalized Jewelry
Jewelry is always a form of self-expression, but at the 2025 Grammys, it became even more personal. Who better to lead the charge than Taylor Swift? The pop icon made headlines with an unexpected thigh accessory—a Lorraine Schwartz thigh chain featuring a single “T” charm. Given Swift’s history of wearing her partner’s initials (cue “Call It What You Want” lyrics), we’re all taking a wild, not-so-wild guess that the “T” stands for Travis [Kelce]. Whether it was a subtle tribute to her NFL beau or a nod to Reputation (Taylor’s Version), Swift knew exactly what she was doing.
Meanwhile, Janelle Monáe took a different approach, pairing her muted, androgynous ensemble with sculptural gold hardware pieces—because if anyone can make avant-garde gold jewelry look effortlessly cool, it’s Janelle.
Long Pendants
Long, dramatic pendant necklaces have been making a comeback in recent times, and the 2025 Grammys proved they’re officially red carpet royalty. Leading the trend was Sabrina Carpenter, who held her baby blue satin feathered halter dress together with a stunning 18.97-carat pear-shaped diamond necklace from Chopard. But the star of the show was her 50-carat D-flawless brilliant-cut diamond sautoir pendant that elegantly draped down her back, surrounded by pear and brilliant-cut diamonds.
Sheryl Crow also championed the long pendant trend, pairing her Missoni sequin dress with a handmade Neil Lane Couture necklace that added just the right amount of sparkle.
