Christmas is almost here, bringing with it the joy of gift-giving and the chance to shine at every celebration! Whether you’re buying for someone special or styling yourself for the season, the right jewellery can make all the difference.
This year, unisex styling is taking centre stage, with stars like Paul Mescal and Barry Keoghan redefining festive fashion, thanks to their bold accessory choices including brooches, trinity rings and chains. Jewellery is no longer confined to traditional categories: it’s about self-expression for all.
And when you choose pre-loved treasures, you’re making a sustainable choice as well as a beautiful one, because pre-owned pieces are free from the detrimental impact of newly mined stones or metals. So opting for pre-owned jewellery is a responsible and meaningful way to sparkle this holiday season. What could be better for the most wonderful time of the year?
Read on for inspiration on how to style jewellery for everyone on your list this festive season. Note we’ve divided this into suggestions for him and her - but feel free to swap those around and tear up the rule book completely!
