Christmas is right around the corner once again and it’s time to start planning what you’re going to wear. From bracelets that add glamour to necklaces that draw the eye, Christmas jewellery trends are all about adding that extra sparkle!

Whether it’s for a big event or the yearly family get together, dressing up for Christmas is a great excuse to up the glam and wear a few jewellery pieces that are extra special. Whether you plan to spend the day in heels and a beautiful dress or track pants and your favourite hoodie, you can (and should!) always add a touch of sparkle to make the day extra special.

In this article, we will be sharing the top Christmas jewellery trends in 2023 so that you can gain some inspiration.

Colourful Gemstones

The great thing about jewellery at Christmas time is that it’s a wonderful excuse to wear more colourful jewellery pieces. As such, gemstones are a popular choice as there are so many colours to choose from – sapphire, emerald, ruby, for example – that add a pop of colour to your outfit.

Gemstones can be embraced in rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces and are a great way to colourfully accent your outfit. If you’re a little more traditional and prefer a diamond, consider coloured diamonds for Christmas. These unique diamonds come in colours like pink, yellow, and green and are a lovely way to add some colour to your outfit and celebrations.

Add Glitz & Sparkle

From the lights on the trees to the tinsel decorating the mantlepiece, Christmas is all about sparkles. Which is why it’s a great opportunity to make some sparkling jewellery choices.

Crystals are a popular choice as they do a wonderful job of catching the light and drawing the eye. Shiny cocktail earrings, cube chains, and pendants are all excellent ways to incorporate crystals into your celebrations.

Whether you’re looking for a statement piece such as glitter drop earrings or you want to keep things simple with subtle studs, crystal jewellery adds a sparkle that is sure to get you noticed.

Embrace Pearls

Christmas is often a frosty session here in the UK and a time for snuggling beside the fire with a cup of hot chocolate. It’s the perfect opportunity to embrace jewellery choices such as pearls. When worn as earrings or necklaces, pearls create a subtle brightening effect that emphasises the wearers face and highlights their beauty.

Pearls are also a popular choice for many as they are often passed down as family heirlooms, making them a classic and meaningful choice. These beautiful jewellery pieces last for a lifetime and are a lovely way to incorporate the memory of someone special into your Christmas celebrations.

According to Good Housekeeping, “There’s no denying that pearls are a classic jewellery piece which have endured decades of evolving styles. Loved by royalty and Hollywood stars alike, the coveted jewels are a timeless choice and evoke a unique air of glamour and sophistication.”

Christmas-themed Jewellery

Christmas is a nostalgic time for many. Most of us think back on the year, what we have achieved and the good times we’ve had. Whatever nostalgia you find yourself giving in to this time of year, Christmas-themed jewellery is a great way to embrace the nostalgia.

Christmas-themed jewellery is a more grown-up version of what you wore as a child. These jewellery pieces can be funny and creative, bold and colourful and are a great way to embrace the Christmas spirit. You may even have some pieces in your old jewellery box from when you were young!

Whether you want to opt for subtle choices like star earrings or snowflake bracelets or you’re keen to get fully into the Christmas spirit with Santa clause earrings and reindeer necklaces, Christmas-themed jewellery is a great way to celebrate the fun of the festive season. These jewellery pieces also make great talking points and will put a smile on everyone’s face.

Chunky chains are available in many different styles, however the most popular are silver and gold as these typically lend themselves to any type of look.

According to InStyle, “Chain necklaces pair well with everything, one reason they’re so popular – and hey, we love a versatile accessory when we see one.

You can just as easily wear them with a classic white tee as you can with a little black dress, and the effect is all the same: Your outfit is instantly infused with an air of glamour.”

Are you searching for that fashion jewellery piece that will help you stand out from the crowd? Signet rings are the way to go. This perfect jewellery choice is becoming increasingly popular and is the ultimate symbol of luxury. Originating in the hands of religious leaders and pharaohs, signet rings are a great way to up the ante.

According to The Gentleman’s Gazette, “For thousands of years, men of influence have been donning a wearable form of identification and communication known as the signet ring. Today, this remarkable ring is a common style accessory that can be worn by any gentleman […] The signet ring remains one of the most common types of rings in menswear.”

Whether passed down through generations or custom-made to express your individuality, signet rings add a unique touch to any outfit and are a great way to make a statement. Gold signet rings tend to be the most popular and they are a great way to add a sense of warmth to your Christmas celebrations.
