2025 Is All About Statement Subtlety—Here’s How Rubans Is Defining It

Jewellery in 2025 isn’t just about adornment—it’s about expression, emotion, and everyday luxury. And at Rubans, the pulse of imitation jewellery trends beats stronger than ever, especially for the Indian woman who wants her accessories to be as versatile as her wardrobe.

From bridal maang tikkas to daily-wear mangalsutras, the evolution of gold-plated imitation jewellery reflects deeper shifts in how we dress, celebrate, and self-style. Ahead, discover Rubans' expert fashion forecast for India—complete with moodboards and top picks to keep you stylish and ahead of the curve.

1. Gold-Plated Minimalism Is Going Maximal (In Its Own Way)

Forget chunky excess—but also forget ultra-skinny chains. In 2025, we're embracing the middle ground: pieces that are clean, sculptural, and meaningful. Think:

  • Toned-down chokers with zirconia drops

  • Flat-cut gold-plated bangles in fluid shapes

  • Mangalsutras with layered chains and soft edges

Moodboard: Monochrome sarees, clean buns, Rubans’ sleek AD mangalsutra collection.

📌 Upcoming jewellery styles to watch: Minimal kundan, geometric cut-outs, capsule-shaped pendants.

2. The Reign of Rose Gold Continues

While yellow gold never left, rose gold plating is dominating festive and bridal wear for its soft, feminine glow. Rubans predicts this tone will become the go-to finish for:

  • Cocktail earrings

  • Pastel lehenga jewellery

  • Bridal clutches and potli bags

Rubans’ 2025 edit features rose gold maang tikkas encrusted with faux rubies and AD stones—designed for pre-wedding functions like roka, sangeet, or even Gen Z mehndis.

📌 Style Tip: Pair with lavender or mint hues—rose gold adds the perfect romantic glaze.

3. Nature-Inspired Details Are Blooming

As sustainability becomes less of a fad and more of a way of life, imitation jewelry trends in 2025 will reflect the complexity of nature. Rubans’ design team is focusing on:

  • Leaf motifs in gold-plated earrings

  • Lotus-inspired choker sets

  • Floral detailing on clutches and sling bags

Moodboard: Botanical embroidery, white flowers, and hand-block printed dupattas.

📌 Fashion forecast India alert: Expect earthy tones, terracotta beads, and vine-inspired bracelets to show up everywhere.

 

4. Versatile Bridal Wear: Function Meets Fashion

Today’s bride isn’t packing her trousseau with OTT pieces she’ll never wear again. Instead, she’s choosing smart, multi-functional bridal jewellery. At Rubans, our forecast sees:

  • Detachable mangalsutra pendants

  • Convertible maatha pattis that double as chokers

  • Potlis with jewellery-inspired handle work

This shift toward bridal realism is reshaping not just design but emotional storytelling—each piece now serves more than just one ritual.

📌 Top pick: Rubans’ new gold-plated zircon bridal mangalsutra with interchangeable links.

 

5. The Return of Temple Jewellery—with a Twist

Rooted in tradition but styled for today, temple jewellery is making a major comeback. But this time, expect fresh silhouettes:

  • Gold-plated earrings shaped like arches and bells

  • Delicate temple chokers layered with AD studs

  • Oxidised versions for indie-casual dressing

Moodboard: Kanjeevaram drapes with messy buns and Rubans’ pearl-drop temple jhumkas.

📌 Upcoming jewellery styles: Blended finishes—matte gold + high-shine AD = 2025’s ultimate fusion.

6. The Rise of Everyday Heirlooms

Jewellery that looks like it’s been passed down—but fits right into your AM-to-PM lifestyle—is what every Indian woman is craving. Rubans predicts a growing demand for:

  • Gold look imitation jewellery

  • Flat-cut kundan chokers with modern shapes

  • Zirconia-studded hoops for office-to-party wear

📌 Pair It With: Neutral kurtas, linen co-ords, and a sleek ponytail. This look works from boardroom to brunch.

7. Clutches & Potlis Become Jewellery Pieces Themselves

Your bag isn't just an add-on anymore. In 2025, embroidered potlis and golden slings are full-blown style statements. Expect:

  • Beaded handle clutches that mimic bangles

  • Maangtikka-inspired motifs stitched into potlis

  • Zari slings that shine under fairy lights

Moodboard: Silk sarees with metallic potlis and glossy lips.

📌 Tip: Match your Rubans bag to your maang tikka—not your outfit.

Final Words

Whether it’s temple jewellery reimagined, mangalsutras modernised, or gold-plated clutches turned heirlooms, 2025 is the year imitation jewellery becomes intimate, intentional, and iconic. At Rubans, we believe luxury shouldn’t be out of reach—it should be within your story.
