The Festive Jewellery Style Guide

Words: Holly Armstrong

The festive season has arrived, bringing with it a flurry of invitations and a calendar brimming with engagements. After returning your RSVPs, deciding what to wear for each occasion becomes part of the joy of the season – an opportunity to curate looks that feel considered, personal and attuned to each moment. Whether you’re planning a showstopping ensemble with a touch of festive grandeur or seeking the versatility and timelessness needed for more understated events, a well-edited wardrobe remains the foundation of effortless dressing. We’ve put together a series of looks, thoughtfully curated for every manner of event on your agenda. Each one styled with a selection of festive jewellery by DMY, chosen to bring a refined balance of the sparkle and shine needed for a holiday party outfit.

Cocktails and Canapés

Softly-lit evenings, alive with festive cheer and champagne flowing, welcome an ensemble that exudes subtle elegance.This Bernadette one-shoulder top brings a touch of festive majesty that commands the eye, balanced out by the ruffled skirt by Tibi. Softly sculptural silhouettes like these provide a sophisticated backdrop for party jewellery that catches the light without overpowering. Our Amber Earrings and Jett Necklace, both in 925 sterling silver, accentuate the look with a delicate, ornamental shine.

Mid-Winter Supper Club

An intimate gathering with close friends around a candlelit table calls for an outfit that feels effortlessly sophisticated. Grounding the look in the refined tailoring of these Róhe pants carves space for a more relaxed top layer, which this ribbed Joseph sweater provides, while maintaining a polished, modern ease. For a jewellery pairing, our Anna Hoops in Gold complement the warmth of the russet trouser, while our Bella Necklace, with its 18k gold clasp and hand-strung pearls, unifies the look.

Festive Work Soirée

The question of what to wear to a Christmas party at work demands an answer which balances professional polish with celebratory sparkle. To achieve this, avoid overt statements and instead opt for sharp tailoring that quietly evokes sophistication. This Acne Studios blazer offers enduring appeal for office-to-evening wear. Elevate the look with subtle glimmers, from your accessories to your shoes. These silver-heeled mules by Proenza Schouler deliver a flash of sculptural shine to accompany our textured Roma Hoops and Bella Necklace, both in silver.

The Holiday Family Luncheon

Nestled somewhere between the glitzy evening soirées, a more relaxed daytime affair inevitably appears – perhaps a fireside lunch with close family and little ones. For gatherings in daylight, prioritise pieces that feel easy yet true to your style. To make a statement upon arrival, this reversible Nour Hammour coat forms a base for soft, loose-fitting layers that photograph beautifully without looking overdone. Toteme’s tie-front turtleneck brings a subtle twist to a timeless winter essential, offering a fresh take on cold-weather dressing. Tie the look together with opulent festive jewellery pieces: our Odette Necklace and Sandra Earrings, both in 925 sterling silver, feel destined for this occasion.

The End-of-Year Affair

If there’s one moment in the calendar that invites unapologetic glamour, it’s New Year’s Eve. Let bold glamour and sartorial drama take centrestage, starting with a statement dress or suit and allow everything else to build around it. This stunning Victoria Beckham gown in butter yellow goes above and beyond, with its elegant split sleeves and intentional ruching, capturing the mood of celebratory confidence and allure. Ground your New Year’s Eve outfit with understated yet considered jewellery pieces that complement the tone of the look. Our Simone Hoops and Jett Necklace, both in 18k gold, bring a polished flourish to your year’s end attire.
