The initial letter necklace is a classic all-rounder and an excellent jewellery item to have in your collection. Not only is the initial necklace a beautiful jewellery piece to wear (whether you’re dressing up for Christmas dinner or eating mince pies in your pyjamas) it also makes a lovely gift for someone you love.

Most people wear their own initials or a family member’s initials – a child’s perhaps or their partner’s – particularly at Christmas time, the season for family. Initial necklaces are beloved by many, often holding sentimental significance. You can wear them every day or get them out for special occasions. They’re both versatile and simplistic in their beauty, just like jewellery’s all-time greats.

Cross Pendant Necklace

For some people, Christmas holds a special religious significance. This is why the traditional cross pendant necklace is an elegant jewellery choice for the Christmas season.

According to Wikipedia, “Crosses are often worn as an indication of commitment to the Christmas faith, and are sometimes received as gifts for rites such as baptism and confirmation […] Some Christians believe that the wearing of a cross offers protection from evil, while others, Christian and non-Christian, wear cross necklaces as a fashion accessory.”

There are many different styles of cross pendants you can purchase, some that sparkle with real diamonds and others that have colourful gemstones inlaid into the metal for a splash of colour. Cross pendant necklaces are treasured by many and are a particular favourite at Christmas-time for those who celebrate the religious significance of the Christmas season.

Diamond Tennis Bracelet

Tennis Bracelet

The tennis bracelet is a classic jewellery choice. Featuring an exquisite line of diamonds or other gemstones, the tennis bracelet shimmers and shines when it catches the light, adding sparkle to your Christmas celebrations.

According to Vogue, “Tennis bracelets are often worn stacked in multiples, a trend that started in the ‘20s when the design first became popular – although back then it was known as an eternity bracelet.”

A tennis bracelet is one of the most popular Christmas gifts because of its timeless and versatile design. It is a beautiful and elegant jewellery choice.

Chunky Chains

2024 is the year of big jewellery and we’re happy to say that chunky chains are back, creating a bold and industrial aesthetic. Chunky chain necklaces provide an excellent focal point for any outfit and one of the most popular ways to incorporate chunky chains into your outfit is to layer them beautifully.

Start with small and short chains, such as chokers or collarbone-length chains, and then add chains that are longer and chunkier. Layering necklaces in this way is a great way to accessorise over the Christmas season, adding texture and interest whether you’re opting for evening attire or something more casual.

Layering Necklaces

If you find it difficult to choose just one jewellery piece to wear, layering necklaces could be the solution for you. Layering necklaces allows you to incorporate multiple styles, colours, and lengths in one arrangement and you can get really creative with it.

Layering necklaces is a great way to add interest to your look and to express some of your personality through your jewellery choices. And because you’re layering necklaces at Christmas, it can be extra lovely to incorporate special jewellery pieces from family members.

As Marie Claire explains: “For your necklace stack, you’re going to want to choose a focal point […] It’s especially nice if the pieces tell a story, with at least one necklace in the group having special meaning for you. So maybe it’s your family heirloom passed on for generations, or maybe it’s a long pendant you found at a thrift store. Whatever that special piece is to you, that’s the piece you want to highlight in your layered look.”

Now, when family members gift you jewellery for Christmas you don’t need to worry about what to wear on the day – you can layer them.

Herringbone Anklet Chain

Anklets have always been a popular jewellery choice. Available in all sorts of colours, metals, and styles, anklets have been worn throughout history and by many cultures. Typically worn more by women, anklets have a long and interesting history as they are one of the oldest known pieces of jewellery – worn as both a fashion statement and as a symbol of social status.

Today, they are an elegant jewellery item that makes for the perfect addition to any outfit, adding a timeless sparkle that helps you stand out from the crowd. Herringbone chain anklets are especially popular in gold during the Christmas season because gold symbolises prosperity and abundance, something we all want in our lives.

Ear Cuffs and Chains

Ear cuffs and ear chains have always been a popular jewellery choice and while they have appeared many times in popular jewellery lists, this year they feature even bigger and better than before.

In 2024, ear cuffs and ear chains are made to cover even more of the ear. Extravagant designs are decorated with pearls, crystals, pendants and even flowers. For those who don’t have ear piercings, clip-on ear cuffs can be bought that cover the whole ear. It’s a lovely way to add a bit of colour and individuality to your Christmas celebrations.
