‘Tis the season to let your jewelry dazzle. Whether you don a Wicked-inspired charm or classic diamond studs, keep your jewelry sparkling.

There’s no one way to dress for the holidays. True, staple colors like reds, greens, and metallics are popular, and ‘tis the season of the sequin. Holiday parties may call for an LBD, floor length gown, tartan slip dress, Bond Girl Winter, or cozy coordinating sets; the choice is yours. But holiday dressing is never complete without signature jewelry to bring on the bling. 

So whether you’re dressing for a holiday dinner or an after-hours fete, ahead, find picks for holiday jewelry trends inspired by our favorite looks and the legends that made these baubles iconic. 

Wickedly Divine Pieces

Fans of the film can find a variety of Wicked-inspired jewelry, like charms, pendants, and bracelets. Such items make excellent stocking stuffers, or can give your look an ethereal and whimsical appeal. On the hunt?  We suggest brands like Pandora and BaubleBar

You can also embrace the aesthetic of the film by taking on the look of each heroine. To conjure Glinda, we suggest delicate necklaces, bracelets, and earrings adorned with jewels and pearls.

Elphaba, on the other hand, is all about the dramatic, statement piece. Think bold, chunky bracelets, a statement ear cuff, and sculptural necklaces. And, of course, emerald, jade, peridot, and green sapphires serve a look that is totally Elphaba.

Old Hollywood Glamour

From Sunset and Vine to Hancock Park, Old Hollywood glamour is alive on the streets of Los Angeles. But you don’t have to be an Angelino to let Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, or Lana Turner inspire your taste in holiday jewels. 

We love elegant pearl necklaces (yes, you can layer pearls), diamond drop earrings, and statement cocktail rings to transform you into a classic screen siren.

Bold and Edgy

If your jewelry taste is anything but traditional, consider unconventional shapes and mixed metals. Hailey Bieber made the two-toned, knotted-style earrings by Heaven Mayhem the earring of the fall, and we’re loving the trend for holiday dressing. Also consider choker necklaces, oversized earrings, and stacked rings, especially fashion girlies in the know.

Dopamine Dressing

Is your jewelry mantra more is more? For a maximalist approach to holiday, drape yourself in diamonds. We love layered necklaces, an arm full of bandles, and multiple pairs of earrings.

Winter Florals 

Groundbreaking, we know. There’s something ephemeral and fairy-like about winter florals. Magical, absolutely, but also a nod to tropical climates where the temperatures rarely dip. Of course there are cold-weather florals to consider, like Christmas cacti that bloom gorgeous pink and red petals, winter berries, and Amaryllis. Capture these with delicate leaf necklaces, and gemstone earrings, and rings with intricate details.
