Autumn always feels like a reset. The light changes, the air cools, and suddenly we’re layering again: trench coats, boots, cashmere thrown over crisp white shirts, silk skirts tucked under oversized cardigans. It’s my favourite season, partly because it invites timeless fashion back into the spotlight, the 90s-inspired classics that never feel overdone.

But here’s the problem: every September, fashion media and brands push a familiar narrative. They tell you everything you bought last season is obsolete and insist you must overhaul your wardrobe — jewellery included — to keep up. As a consumer, I’ve always found this exhausting. And as a jewellery designer and founder of AJOSEPO, I find it misleading.

Yes, trends exist. Yes, it’s smart to keep a pulse on what’s “in.” But let’s be honest: most of it is simply last year’s ideas repackaged with shinier language. Cord necklaces, oversized pendants, mismatched studs, maximalist charms — all fun, but all fleeting. The danger is in mistaking these passing trends for timeless style and, in doing so, ending up looking just like everyone else.

At AJOSEPO, we take a different stance. We believe jewellery should outlast seasons. It should feel personal, distinct, and re-wearable. The women we look to as true style icons never dressed like the masses; they redefined the codes of style, investing in pieces that became their signatures.

So instead of chasing every micro-trend, here are five jewellery pieces worth owning for Autumn 2025 and beyond. Each one feels relevant now, but more importantly, will still look sharp five or ten years from today.

The Perfect Medium-Sized Hoop 
Hoops are hardly revolutionary. But here’s the nuance: too often, women either go tiny and discreet or oversized and dramatic. The sweet spot is the medium-sized hoop — bold enough to hold presence, subtle enough to wear daily.

Here’s a twist most people overlook: switch tones. If you naturally lean toward gold, try silver. If you’re a silver loyalist, experiment with gold. I personally wear mostly gold, but the moment I introduced a pair of polished medium silver hoops into my rotation, my wardrobe came alive. The unexpected tone lifted my fashion staples in a way that felt both refreshing and timeless.

Stud Earrings with Substance
Studs are everywhere, but too often they lack personality. The market is saturated with “minimalist” studs or mismatched combos that feel more gimmick than style. What you actually need is a stud with presence — one that can hold its own by day, elevate a look by night, and serve as the quiet anchor of a more maximalist ensemble (if that’s what you are after!).

Think gemstone studs, like our Gemstone Earrings, available in black, green, or red. Each colour tells a different story: black for understated elegance, green for vibrancy, red for unapologetic glamour. Or try the sculptural Ailopin I Earrings for a bolder interpretation of a classic. 

Sculptural Ring Stacks
Rings carry more weight than most people give them credit for. A strong ring game can completely reframe how polished you look. The current convention is to stack one bold ring with a minimalist band — safe, but predictable, and perhaps boring.

I prefer pairing sculptural rings with… more sculptural rings. It creates a maximalist look that still reads as refined. For example, I stack the Troika Ring with the Demeter Ring on my middle finger, and the Rekoya Ring with the Memento Ring on my index finger. The result? Layers of geometry and depth that feel architectural.

Reimagined Matching Sets
Yes, I know: a “matching set” sounds like something your grandmother would wear. But context is everything. When styled intentionally, a necklace-and-bracelet pairing creates clean, symmetrical lines that can anchor a punchy outfit without overwhelming it.

A recent example: an actress wore the Troika Necklace and Bracelet together at the Venice Film Festival — no other jewellery, just that set. It was effortless, modern, and powerful. Alternatively, break the set apart — bracelet one day, necklace the next. The beauty of symmetry is in how flexible it can be.

Geometric Maximalist Earrings 
There’s no reason to reserve your statement earrings for the evening. In fact, nothing is more stylish than carrying that energy into the day. Geometric maximalist earrings — bold yet structured — create an instant sense of polish.

I’ve been wearing the Ailopin II Earrings alongside my sculptural ring stacks (see recommendation 3) during the day, and the compliments have been constant. Women tell me it feels refreshing to see statement jewellery worn outside of “special occasion” contexts. The pairing reads both maximalist and minimalist, proving that bold doesn’t have to mean brash.

The AJOSEPO Approach 
Autumn style is not about discarding everything you own and buying into every editorial “must-have.” It’s about refinement. It’s about choosing pieces that feel like you, not like a trend report. Jewellery should give you longevity, presence, and individuality — not seasonal anxiety.
At AJOSEPO, we design jewellery that feels current but never disposable — pieces that you’ll return to season after season because they don’t just accessorise, they define. This autumn, ignore the noise. Choose pieces that set you apart.
