How to Wear Jewellery in Winter: Style Tips for the Chilly Season
As winter continues to roll in, our wardrobes shift — cozy sweaters, thick scarves, and warm layers become everyday staples. But there’s one thing that doesn’t need to go into hibernation: your jewellery.
Just because you’re bundling up doesn’t mean your style has to take a backseat. With the right approach, jewellery can elevate your cold-weather outfits and bring a touch of glamour to even the frostiest days.
Here are our top tips on how to wear jewellery in winter — stylishly and comfortably.
1. Go Bold with Your Pieces
Winter fashion is all about volume and texture. Chunky knits, coats, and scarves can easily drown out delicate jewellery — so let your accessories rise to the occasion.
Opt for:
- Statement necklaces worn over turtlenecks or crewnecks
- Oversized hoops or dangling earrings to stand out against hair and hats
- Layered rings that shine when you slip off your gloves
Bold pieces add personality and pop without getting lost in your layers.
2. Master the Art of Jewellery Layering
Layering isn’t just for clothes — it’s a fantastic technique for jewellery too.
Try this:
- Stack necklaces of different lengths over a plain knit or turtleneck
- Wear bracelets over long sleeves or even gloves for a fashion-forward twist
- Mix metals and materials — gold, silver, pearls, leather — for a luxe, winter-ready vibe
Just be mindful of tangling. Heavier clothing means your jewellery placement matters even more.
3. Make Earrings the Star
With your neck often covered by scarves or collars, earrings become the natural focal point. Use them to your advantage!
Some winter-friendly styles include:
- Drop or chandelier earrings when your hair is pulled back
- Statement studs that peek through a beanie
- Ear cuffs or layered piercings to add edge
Keep hair sleek or swept back to avoid tangling and to showcase your sparkle.
4. Pair Jewellery with Winter Fabrics and Colours
The winter palette and textures open up a world of stylish possibilities:
- Gold jewellery looks rich against warm tones like camel, chocolate, and rust
- Silver and white gold pair beautifully with icy hues — think navy, grey, and white
- Pearls and gemstones elevate luxe winter fabrics like cashmere, velvet, and wool
Use your accessories to complement — or contrast — the mood of your outfit.
5. Protect Your Jewellery from the Elements
Winter can be tough on your favourite pieces. Here’s how to keep them safe:
- Always put your jewellery on after getting dressed and take your jewellery off before getting undressed. This is to avoid your comfy knits or wools potentially damaging the claws securing stones, or the clasps on chains/bracelets.
- Your rings may suddenly feel TOO BIG. Don’t fret! Get yourself a silicon ring coil to wrap around its’ base to keep it snug on your finger. These are available within our showroom.
- Remove rings before applying hand cream to avoid buildup
- Store your pieces in a dry, warm space when you come indoors — sudden temperature shifts can damage delicate items
A little extra care will help your jewellery last all season (and beyond).
Wrap-Up: Stay Sparkly All Season
Winter jewellery is all about balancing warmth, style, and practicality. Whether you’re layering chunky chains over a knit or making your earrings the highlight of your look, there are endless ways to let your personality shine.
So don’t let the cold cramp your style — embrace the season and sparkle through it.
