Big diamonds and jewels, Grammys set some serious trends for bauble games as well

“Big girls need big diamonds,” said Elizabeth Taylor, and Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California saw it happening in real time! Grammy 2025 not just celebrated the best in music, but in fashion too, with statement jewellery pieces stealing the show on the red carpet.

Sabrina Carpenter not just grabbed two Grammys for Short n’ Sweet and Espresso, but also stole the limelight in her baby blue satin feathered halter dress, held together by a string of pear-shaped diamonds. This piece from the Garden of Kalahari Collection by Chopard had a 50-carat D-flawless brilliant-cut diamond sautoir pendant dangling on her back.

Colour coordination

The most decorated Grammy winner, Beyonce, took home album of the year with Cowboy Carter after a long wait. She also stunned the crowd in a custom Schiaparelli gown accessorised with custom Lorraine Schwartz natural pearl and cognac diamond drop earrings. The pair of stunning 50-carat pear-shape diamonds matched her shimmering gown.

Dangling design

Known for her stunning red-carpet outfits, Taylor Swift may have missed the Grammy this year, but she had a fun time at the awards’ night. She had the Swifties guessing with her inventive little Ruby T dangling on her short, sequined Vivian Westwood dress! She rocked Lorraine Schwartz jewels — a ruby ring, ruby ear gear with a gold and ruby body chain with a T dangling on her thigh. Has she teased a new album, is a nod to her boyfriend Travis Kelce or just some self-love, T bauble here offers meanings more than one!

Winning two Grammys, Alicia Keys also took home the crown for the most striking statement jewellery. Pairing her Dolce & Gabanna black and gold gown dress with super elaborate gold earrings, supported by a headband and a chain, she made a stunning outing.

Heidi Klum was a picture of grace in a glittering strapless gown from Nicolas Jebran, accessorising it with Lorraine Schwartz rocks. Donning dazzling diamond rings, she wore a multi-carat sparkling necklace.

Birthstone it is

Men brought their A-game to the red carpet as well. The evening host Trevor Noah wore a Tiffany & Co starfish brooch sparkling with 115 diamonds. He also wore blue heart-shaped MusiCares pin seeking donation for the MusiCares Fire Relief Fund.

Teddy Swims literally wore his love for family on his jacket. He hinted the impending birth of his child in June. Pearl being birthstone of the month, he dressed in a ‘pearly’ suit. Though his stylist has since apologised for the ‘likeness’ to designer label Windowsen’s work, but, hey, kudos to Swims’ spirit!

Trend-o-meter

Watching the red carpet extravaganza are jewelsmiths from all over the world. “Jewellery is aspirational and a big gala like Grammy sets the fashion trends in motion for the rest of the world,” says Amit Kapoor, director of Chandigarh-based Nippy Jewellers. He points out, “Grammy night showcased really big natural diamonds. Also, in different shapes, pear largely, as opposed to the regular round. ”

He says how it was tone-on-tone when it came to jewels and attire. “Beyonce teamed her golden dress with cognac diamonds, which were brownish in colour. Taylor Swift matched her red dress with ruby jewellery, while Alicia Keys chose a shimmery dress with dazzling diamonds. Almost everyone followed the trend as opposed to contrast, which was in vogue earlier. Also, the elaborate dresses had equally ornate statement pieces; sleek gowns were paired with dainty sparklers.”

He also talsk about unconventional jewellery. “Heavy earrings supported with headgear, back chains and thigh chains; it opens up a world of possibilities. The new generation is neither happy with conventional jewellery, not satisfied. Open to inventive use of different pieces, it sure opens up the youngsters to order pieces to match their unique style.”
