When it comes to festive dressing, jewelry is doing the heavy lifting this season. Think color, sparkle, and a little bit of whimsy—pieces that feel collected, expressive, and unapologetically joyful. From statement necklaces to gem drenched earrings, these are the four jewelry trends defining Holiday Jewels right now.
BEADED BEAUTY – Beads are back, and not in a boho-only way. This season’s beaded jewelry feels elevated and artful, with mixed stones, playful proportions, and rich textures. This new collection from Jennifer Behr x Julia Berolzheimer has me swooning over every stunning piece and captures this trend perfectly. Layered strands and oversized beads add instant personality to simple silhouettes, making them perfect for holiday dinners, cocktail parties, and everything in between. The bigger the better when it comes to beaded pieces this holiday season.

RICH JEWEL TONES – Emerald greens, sapphire blues, ruby reds, and amethyst purples are taking center stage. These saturated hues feel luxurious and timeless, especially when set in gold. Jewel tones pair beautifully with winter whites, icy blues, and classic black, instantly making an outfit feel more festive and polished. These earrings combine multiple jewel tones, and would be the perfect touch to a simple cocktail dress. Also loving these from the new Tory Burch collection.
CELESTIAL MAGIC – Stars, moons, and constellation-inspired designs bring a touch of fantasy to holiday accessorizing and is always my go-to for holiday and New Year’s Eve styling. These pieces feel whimsical yet refined—perfect for adding intrigue without overpowering your look. Whether it’s a starburst earring, like this under $50 pair or a cosmic-inspired pendant, or a delicate bangle, celestial details shine brightest this time of year.
HOLIDAY BRIGHTS – For those who love color, this is your moment! Think rainbow stones, vibrant crystals, and joyful combinations that feel celebratory and fun. Holiday brights are all about embracing color as an accessory statement, ideal for pairing with satin dresses, cozy knits, or classic party looks that need a playful twist. This statement necklace is ALL you need to make heads turn at any event you have coming up.
This season, jewelry isn’t just an accessory, it’s the focal point. Whether you lean classic or bold, these holiday-ready trends are all about sparkle, color, and a little bit of magic. Shop my full edit below.
