Mocha Mousse: Pantone’s 2025 Colour of the Year & The Future of Luxury Jewellery
Every year, the announcement of Pantone’s Colour of the Year ignites inspiration across fashion, art, and design—and jewellery is no exception. For us at Linked by Brilla, 2025’s hue, Pantone 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, feels like a natural extension of the stories we tell through our hand-selected pieces.
This warm, rich brown tone is more than a trend; it’s a mood. Mocha Mousse combines timeless elegance with a grounded, earthy sophistication, making it the perfect shade for layering. Imagine the contrast of this luxurious tone against warm yellow gold or the delicate sparkle of diamonds—it’s a harmony of boldness and elegance that feels effortlessly chic.
A Colour That Transcends Fashion
Mocha Mousse isn’t just a colour—it’s a reflection of the global shift toward embracing comfort, warmth, and understated luxury. Its earthy richness speaks to a timeless aesthetic while remaining versatile enough to adapt to contemporary trends.
In jewellery, this tone inspires everything from smoky quartz pendants to brown diamond accents. These pieces pair beautifully with metals like rose or yellow gold, creating a cohesive look that feels both modern and timeless. Even for those who prefer more classic or minimalist designs, subtle nods to Mocha Mousse through gemstones or metal finishes can add depth and dimension to a jewellery collection.
