1. Choker Necklaces: The Timeless Trend That Keeps Giving

Chokers are officially back — and stronger than ever. These close-fitting necklaces are making waves in 2025, thanks to their flattering placement and effortlessly cool vibe. They hug the neckline, drawing attention to your collarbone and adding an instant edge to any outfit.

From slim velvet bands to chunky chain styles, chokers this year are all about variety. You can keep it simple for daytime or go all out with a statement piece for a night out.

2. Pendant Necklaces: Personal Touches That Shine

Pendant necklaces have long been a jewellery staple, and they’re not going anywhere in 2025. This year, it’s all about adding a personal spin — initials, birthstones, charms, or meaningful symbols that reflect who you are.

They’re perfect for layering or wearing solo, and they make incredible gifts with that bit of extra thought behind them.
