How to wear statement jewellery to a Christmas party
Christmas party season is the perfect excuse to dress up a little. Whether you're slipping into a classic black dress, a velvet evening gown, or something with a little sparkle, the right jewellery can transform your entire look.
But choosing what to wear doesn't have to be complicated. My favourite styling rule? Let one piece take centre stage.
Think bold gemstone earrings, a striking pendant, or a colourful ring that catches the light as you raise your glass.
Choose either statement earrings or a statement necklace, not both, and let your neckline decide which. A high neck calls for earrings. A V-neck or strapless dress suits a necklace. Then add colour: a coloured gemstone stands out in a room full of diamonds.
Here's how to find the perfect finishing touch for your festive outfit.
What jewellery suits my neckline?
How do I choose a gemstone colour for a party outfit?
Pick one colour from your outfit and echo it, or choose its opposite. Green tourmaline with a burgundy dress. Sapphire blue with black. Pink spinel with navy. Coloured stones catch candlelight beautifully, and they look modern next to all that festive gold.
Can I wear my everyday jewellery to a party?
Yes. Swap studs for drops, or add a second chain to a pendant you already wear. Stack a coloured ring next to your engagement ring. It's often enough to turn day jewellery into evening jewellery.
What about black tie?
Go bigger, and go longer. Long drop earrings and a bare neck look elegant with an updo. If you wear a necklace, keep earrings to studs.
