Glow-up Guide: How to Style Your Jewellery Like a Pro

The festive season is fast approaching. If you’re planning to make this Christmas a chic one—do unsubscribe from that ugly sweater trend, if you haven’t already—you might want to spend on some sparklers. Whether it’s gold or silver, dainty or dramatic, with or without precious stones, you’re on the right track to sleigh in style. But if a little guidance is needed, you’re in luck. We have consulted the experts and compiled all the tips and tricks to elevate your holiday looks. Here, founders of homegrown jewellery brands share their favourite pieces of the season and the best ways to style them.

 

JENN LOW OF WANDERLUST + CO

“Our Holiday collection, The 90’s Called, brings a playful dose of nostalgia through versatile, statement-making jewellery. Two of my top picks are the Flip Phone Locket and the Bag of Chips necklaces—both perfect for adding a fun, retro vibe to your look! When it comes to styling, I love layering necklaces. Start with a simple chain as your base layer, then add a pendant necklace for a stacked look. There are no rules to stacking—so feel free to experiment and have fun mixing and matching your pieces!”

ZAIREEN ISKANDAR AND ATHIYA HAMID OF ‘KIN

“We have been wearing our Brass Curb necklace and bracelet on nights out. They are perfect for that over-the-top but understated look—we love them with a simple top or dress. Another piece we have been loving is our new Ball Chain and Puffy Heart bracelet as they add just the right amount of charm to our existing wrist stack. As for styling tips, we always say to mix your metals! There’s no rule that says you have to stick to one colour or finish—embrace the contrast and add splashes of colour for extra pizzazz.”

YINN OOI OF GUNG

“This season, make a statement with our Holiday collection favourites: Eden Jade and Majestic Hoop earrings. Each piece is designed to elevate your look with effortless elegance. The main tip to styling these pieces is to not overcrowd. Avoid wearing too many statement pieces at once, let each item shine individually to create a balanced, eye-catching ensemble. If you’re wearing bold pieces like these earrings, skip the necklace to let the pieces take centre stage. Keeping the focus on one statement piece ensures a polished, sophisticated look.”

MANDY CHAN OF MOODD.

“Jewellery is not just for special occasions—it’s a way to express your mood and style daily. For the holidays, two of my favourite pieces are the Celine oval hoop earrings and the timeless tennis baguette link chain. Both bring just the right amount of sparkle to any look. The key to styling these pieces is to understand your skin tone—gold enhances warm undertones, while silver flatters cooler ones. Choose what complements yours. Also, pick a focal point and ask yourself if you want the attention on your earrings, necklace, or another accessory.”

MICHELE ONG OF YUKIMOTO

“Our 2024 Holiday collection is a joyful blend of vibrant colours and minimalist designs. Two standout pieces include the Candy VitaC and Blackcurrant FantaC, both of which incorporate playful, candy-inspired colours. The beauty of this collection is that it transitions seamlessly beyond the holiday season, allowing customers to wear these pieces year-round. Do pair these pieces with simple, understated outfits to let the jewellery shine, but don’t over-accessorise with bold colours or patterns that could compete with the jewellery’s subtle elegance.”
