This season, holiday jewelry takes its cues straight from the glamour of the red carpet. The modern approach to a festive ensemble leans into intentional glamour – jewelry that feels bold, cinematic and commanding. Think of it as dressing for the flashbulbs, even if the camera is only at a friend’s holiday party. Take inspiration from the red carpet. Stars like Mikey Madison, Anya-Taylor Joy and Colman Domingo chose pieces not meant to overwhelm, but to refine, enhance and create a mood, offering a masterclass in how thoughtful and bold jewelry can transform a look.
Celebratory times call for color saturated gemstones – emeralds, garnets, amethysts, sapphires tourmalines — bringing a rich, cinematic depth and a nod to Hollywood opulence.
This is the moment to lean into pieces that harmonize with the holiday season’s richly embellished fabrics: sequins, feathers, velvet, brocades. Think shoulder-skimming earrings that mirror the fluidity of satin, sculptural cuffs that anchor a velvet sleeve, or juicy cocktail rings that plays beautifully against sequins and jacquard.
