Let’s explore the top winter jewellery trends and style tips that will keep you sparkling all season long.

How to style jewellery for winter?

As the transition from summer to winter begins, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about your winter jewellery collection and what this looks like for the months ahead.

You might consider keeping your style simple, not changing much from the previous months, but if you’ve got a busy social calendar packed with festive events and seasonal parties, you might opt for mixing up your look. Whether planning a Christmas dinner party, attending an office Christmas ‘works-do’, or simply looking to transition from your summer style, there are a variety of ways to style your jewellery for winter.

Cool-toned metals

Winter is the perfect season to showcase the beauty of cool-toned metals. Icy white silvers, frosty white gold and serene platinum take centre stage in winter jewellery collections. These metals not only complement the chilly weather but also add an air of sophistication to any outfit. Whether it’s a statement necklace or a pair of elegant earrings, cool-toned metals are a must-have for winter.

Chunky chains and layering

Chunky chain necklaces and bracelets are making a bold statement in the winter jewellery scene. These edgy, oversized pieces add a touch of attitude to your winter attire, making them a versatile accessory for both casual and formal occasions. Consider layering necklaces of varying thicknesses to create a chic, on-trend look that keeps you cosy and fashionable. Stacking rings are also a wonderful way to add a creative flair to any occasion or outfit as you can mix and match your favourite rings.

Styling accessories

When it comes to winter jewellery trends, it’s not just about necklaces and rings. Texture plays a significant role in accessorising for the season. Look for pieces that incorporate textured elements, such as a feather lapel pin or coin bracelet. These tactile additions not only keep your personal style at the fore but also add depth and richness to your winter look.

A minimalistic approach

For those who prefer understated elegance, minimalist jewellery continues to be a strong trend. Sleek, monochromatic designs in silver or gold with clean lines and geometric shapes offer a contemporary and refined look that pairs well with winter’s neutral colour palette. A simple pendant necklace or a pair of stud earrings can elevate any outfit without overwhelming it.

Personalised Pieces

Personalised jewellery remains a cherished trend, allowing you to wear pieces that hold sentimental value. Consider customising your jewellery with your initials, or a meaningful date. This personal touch not only adds uniqueness to your ensemble but also makes for a memorable gift during the holiday season.
