The holiday season is synonymous with joy, celebration, and creating cherished memories. It’s also the perfect time to let your style sparkle, and what better way to do that than with timeless jewellery pieces? Industry experts weigh in on the trends, styles, and versatile designs that make natural diamonds and fine jewellery the ultimate festive accessory this Christmas.
Christmas is a time of cherished traditions and timeless memories. Richa Singh, Managing Director, India and Middle East, Natural Diamond Council compares the legacy of natural diamonds to holiday traditions that have been passed down through generations. “Natural diamonds are billion-year-old legacies that never go out of style,” she explains. This season, AM-to-PM jewellery is in demand, offering a seamless transition from day events to evening soirees. Tennis bracelets, earring cuffs, and chokers are topping wish lists, while stacking bracelets, rings, and necklaces are all the rage. Add a bold statement piece for an effortless touch of glamour, ensuring versatility is at the heart of your festive wardrobe.
For Indian consumers, jewellery holds deep sentimental value, and Christmas is no exception. Varghese Alukka, Managing Director, Jos Alukkas Group observes that younger consumers are reimagining heirloom diamond pieces with innovative designs to reflect their individuality. “Natural diamonds paired with classic gold accents bring a touch of legacy to every celebration,” he says. The demand this season is for simple yet bespoke designs that blend tradition with modernity, perfect for both family gatherings and festive soirées.
Styling Tips
Dipu Mehta, Managing Director, ORRA Fine Jewellery shares styling tips for different outfits and occasions:
Radiant Florals: Pair floral diamond necklaces with flowy gowns, complemented by soft curls or a loose bun for an elegant appearance.
Geometric Chic: Match geometric diamond pendant sets with structured jumpsuits or cocktail dresses, styled with a sleek ponytail or middle-parted straight hair for a modern edge.
Snowflake Magic: Snowflake-inspired jewellery shines brightest with white or icy blue ensembles. Style with high-neck dresses or off-shoulder tops and an elegant updo or side braid for a winter wonderland effect.
Rose Gold Elegance: Rose gold diamond sets pair beautifully with warm tones like deep reds, emerald greens, or gold. Soft waves or a classic bun with loose tendrils complete this timeless look.
Jewellery, as Vipin Sharma, Head of Design, BlueStone Jewellery puts it, is “the quiet poetry of celebration.” For the Christmas and New Year season, he recommends layering delicate necklaces for subtle sophistication and stacking rings for a personal touch. Bold earrings can add just the right amount of drama, especially when paired with neutral outfits that let the jewellery take center stage. Achieving balance is key—timeless designs with a modern twist create a look that’s both effortless and striking.
