How to Choose Jewellery That Complements Your Cold-Weather Style
As the weather turns crisp and the days grow shorter, it's time to refresh your wardrobe with cosy knits, chic coats, and, of course, the perfect jewellery to complete your cold-weather style. At Gemondo, we believe that accessorising during the autumn and winter months is all about layering, statement pieces, and adding a touch of sparkle to brighten those darker days. Whether you’re dressing for festive gatherings or simply elevating your everyday outfits, here’s our guide to choosing jewellery that complements your cold-weather style.
1. Go Bold with Statement Earrings
When the temperature drops, we often reach for chunky sweaters, scarves, and high-necked tops that can sometimes hide more delicate jewellery. This is where bold, statement earrings come into play. A pair of dazzling drop earrings or oversized hoops can add a touch of glamour to even the cosiest of looks, drawing attention to your face and creating a stylish focal point.
Gemondo’s Tip: Opt for richly coloured gemstones like deep green emeralds, vibrant sapphires, or classic pearls to bring a pop of colour that stands out against neutral winter shades.
2. Layer Up with Necklaces
Layering isn’t just for your clothes—it's also a fantastic way to make your jewellery shine during the colder months. When you’re bundled up in turtlenecks and thick jumpers, layering necklaces of different lengths can add dimension and sophistication to your outfit.
Start with a simple, shorter chain, add a mid-length pendant, and finish with a longer statement piece. This not only adds visual interest but also allows you to mix metals and textures for a unique, personalised look.
Gemondo’s Tip: Choose necklaces with adjustable chains so you can easily switch up the lengths to suit different necklines.
3. Opt for Chunky Bracelets and Cuffs
During winter, your wrists can often be hidden beneath layers of long sleeves, making delicate bracelets less visible. Instead, go for chunky bracelets or cuffs that can stand out against thick knits and coats. A bold cuff bracelet can effortlessly slide over sleeves, adding an extra touch of style to your winter ensemble.
Gemondo’s Tip: Try stacking bracelets with different textures and metals, such as with different coloured gemstones, for a striking and contemporary look.
4. Embrace Rings That Pop
While gloves are essential in the colder months, they can sometimes make wearing rings a bit tricky. The solution? Opt for standout rings that can easily be showcased once your gloves come off. Think colourful gemstone rings, bold cocktail rings, or stackable bands that catch the light beautifully.
Gemondo’s Tip: Choose rings with vibrant gemstones like amethyst, garnet, or blue topaz to complement the darker tones of your winter wardrobe.
5. Don't Forget the Brooches
Brooches are making a stylish comeback, and they’re the perfect accessory for the cold-weather season. Pin a vintage-inspired brooch to your scarf, coat, or even a chunky knit to add a touch of elegance and personality to your outfit. Brooches are a versatile way to accessorise, and they bring a classic, timeless charm to your winter look.
Gemondo’s Tip: Opt for brooches with intricate designs or adorned with gemstones for a truly eye-catching addition to your ensemble.
6. Choose Warm-Toned Metals
In the chillier months, warmer-toned metals like yellow gold and rose gold can add a cosy, luxurious feel to your look. These metals beautifully complement the deeper hues of autumn and winter fashion, such as burgundy, forest green, and navy. If you’re looking for a more modern, sleek vibe, white gold and silver still pair wonderfully with colder tones and are perfect for a festive, icy sparkle.
Gemondo’s Tip: Mix metals for a contemporary twist. For example, pair gold earrings with a silver necklace to create a chic, eclectic look.
7. Add a Touch of Sparkle for Festive Glam
The festive season is the perfect time to bring out your most dazzling pieces. Think sparkling gemstones, shimmering diamonds, and anything that catches the light. Whether you’re attending a holiday party or a cosy dinner with friends, adding a touch of sparkle to your outfit can instantly elevate your look.
Gemondo’s Tip: Our ethically sourced gemstone jewellery, including pieces adorned with sparkling diamonds and vibrant coloured gems, can add that perfect festive touch while aligning with sustainable fashion values.
8. Prioritise Comfort with Lightweight Pieces
While layering your clothes and accessories, comfort is key. Opt for lightweight jewellery that won't weigh you down, especially if you’re already wearing heavier winter clothing. Delicate chains, subtle stud earrings, and lightweight bangles can add elegance without feeling cumbersome.
Gemondo’s Tip: Choose pieces that can transition seamlessly from day to night, making them versatile additions to your winter wardrobe.
