The Best New Jewelry from Couture 2025, Part 1
Associate Editor Natalie Francisco shares 20 of her favorite pieces from the jewelry collections that debuted at Couture.
Jade Ruzzo’s “Gloria” collar is one of Associate Editor Natalie Francisco’s favorite pieces from the 2025 Couture show. The 18-karat yellow gold necklace centers on an old mine-cut diamond with brilliant-cut diamond accents and emerald drops (price upon request).
Once a year, Couture transforms the Wynn into a mystical land filled with eye-catching jewels.
With so much to see, one loses all sense of time while wandering the aisles at Couture.
If you’re me, you create a list of jewelry you’d love to own, albeit never in this lifetime.
Now that this year’s Couture show has come to a close, I’ve assembled a dazzling curation of all the new pieces I can’t get off my mind.
However, there are just too many pieces to fit into one story, so feast your eyes on part one of my two-part series on the best new jewelry at the 2025 Couture show.
