Imagine the smell of freshly cut grass, the sun caressing your skin and the music that you feel down to your toes. Festival season is the time for you to show yourself – free, creative and completely in your element. Your outfit has been carefully chosen, but what makes your look really special?
These are the jewelry you wear. They catch the light, tell your story and turn every festival moment into a memory to cherish. In this blog I will take you along the most beautiful festival jewelry trends of 2025, give you styling tips and show you how to make your festival outfit unforgettable with the right accessories.
Why jewelry is indispensable at festivals
Jewelry is much more than an accessory: it shows who you are, what you love and how you feel. Maybe you wear a ring that you once received as a gift, or you choose a striking brooch that underlines your personality. At a festival – where everything revolves around experience and freedom – jewelry is the way to tell your unique style story.
Think of the golden glow of the setting sun, the dancing in the grass and the colourful splendour around you. Jewellery captures that light and atmosphere like no other. A sparkling earring, a ring with a gemstone or a brooch on your hat: these are the details that make your festival look personal and unforgettable.
Connection and memories
The best memories are made at festivals. Jewelry is often the start of a conversation, a compliment or even a new friendship. Maybe you buy a ring at a festival market, or wear a brooch that reminds you of a special moment. In this way, jewelry not only becomes part of your outfit, but also of your festival story.
Festival Jewelry Trends 2025
The jewelry trends for this festival summer are bold, feminine and inspired by nature. Below you will find the five most important trends – with examples from the Donna Dorée collection and tips on how to wear them.
1. Statement earrings with a story
Big, bold and unique: statement earrings are the eye-catchers of 2025. Think sculptural shapes, vintage influences and jewelry with a deeper meaning. In my collection you will find, for example, the Gaia earrings in silver and gold , inspired by the power of feminine nature. Lightweight, so you can wear them effortlessly all day long - from the first concert to the afterparty.
Styling tip: Combine statement earrings with a simple outfit, such as a white linen dress or a denim jumpsuit. This way, you really let your jewelry do the talking.
2. Layers, Layers, Layers
Combining different necklaces, bracelets and rings gives your look a boho chic look. Dare to mix with materials, colours and styles! For example, wear a coarse vintage ring together with a refined silver brooch from the Iconic Elegance collection .
Styling tip: Start with a base of fine chains and gradually add a more striking piece. This way you effortlessly create depth and character.
3. Brooches: the surprising comeback
Brooches are back and surprisingly versatile at festivals. Wear the Donna brooch on a straw hat, on your summer dress or even as a pendant on a necklace. Thanks to the magnetic closure, it won't damage your clothes and you can style it again and again.
4. Natural elements and gemstones
Spiritual, earthy vibes are all the rage right now. Rings with moonstone, chrysoprase or scheelite give your look a unique touch. Each stone has its own energy – choose a gemstone that matches your mood.
Styling tip: Combine a colorful vintage statement ring with a basic outfit for a subtle, yet powerful statement.
5. Silver with character
Silver is cool, timeless and fits perfectly with the casual festival style. In the Donna Dorée collection you will find unique vintage silver jewelry that will give your look an instant quirky edge.
Styling tip : Wear silver jewelry with white linen items or like below on black, cute sandals and a messy bun for an effortless festival vibe.
Unique styling tips for your festival jewelry
1. More is More (and Less is a Bore)
Festivals are the time to go all out. Mix different styles, combine vintage with modern and don't be afraid to experiment. As Iris Apfel said: "More is more and less is a bore." Let your creativity run wild!
2. Choose comfort and style
Nothing is as annoying as jewelry that feels heavy or breaks quickly. Therefore, choose light earrings (e.g. our Rhea earrings !), sturdy rings and brooches with a magnetic closure. This way you can dance, jump and enjoy all day long without worries.
3. Jewelry as a hair accessory
Be creative! Wear a ring in a braid, a brooch in your bandana or use a necklace as a bracelet. This way you give your look a surprising twist.
4. Match your mood
Let your jewelry match your mood. Are you dreamy? Go for pearls , amethyst or moonstone. Are you feeling powerful? Choose gold accents and statement shapes.
5. Make it personal
The most beautiful piece of jewelry is the one that tells a story. Wear an heirloom, a unique find from the vintage collection, or a symbolic piece of jewelry from one of our own collections that has meaning to you. That way you make your festival outfit truly yours!
