Celebrate in Style: The Ultimate Guide to Fine Jewellery for New Year’s Eve
WHY YOUR JEWELLERY MATTERS
New Year’s Eve offers the perfect opportunity to indulge in sparkle. A dazzling celebration, this occasion is always a great point in the year to make a statement with your jewellery pieces. More than just shimmering emblems of beauty, the jewellery we wear carries with it stories of our personal journey and cherished memories. From heirloom pieces passed down for generations to new pieces received as a gift from the festive season, our jewellery is one of the finest forms of self-expression.
TRENDING RIGHT NOW
Whilst the jewellery offerings at Laings are truly timeless, this season holds some exciting trends that truly capture the magic of NYE. A thoughtful ode to yourself, your partner or loved ones, birthstone jewellery pieces remain a favourite. Birthstone jewellery brings a special meaning to any creation and brings with it an incredible beauty. For those captivated by the zodiac, these enchanting selections tell a unique narrative.
Offering a pop of colour to any look, coloured gemstones have been seen as a trend throughout 2024 which will no doubt carry into the new year. From the traditional allure ofsapphires andrubies to the rare and unique spinels, topazes and garnets that can be found inLaings Exclusive Creations. The wide array of captivating gemstones is sure to make a statement and capture a small part of your personality within them.
The circularity of fashion consistently prevails, while the allure of vintage design continues to shine in jewellery. Looking back to jewellery trends of the past will remain popular in 2025. Combine heirloom pieces with new designs to create a look that evokes nostalgia. Diamond cuts like the marquise, which nod to the 1960s and 70s, are a notable trend for 2025, with celebrities such as actress Selena Gomez showcasing a marquise engagement ring.
The stacking of bracelets, rings and necklaces has been a widespread trend throughout the last few years. Mixing finer light jewellery pieces with bolder thicker metals creates a well curated jewellery look and allows you to combine your older jewellery pieces with new. We always advise exercising caution when stacking rings or bracelets and recommend avoiding placing softer gemstones directly adjacent to diamonds to prevent damage to more delicate jewellery pieces. Balancing large and delicate jewellery pieces can create an effortlessly sophisticated finish.
Whilst a classic jewellery token that has been loved for generations, contemporary pearl styling is set to be a huge trend for the new year. The combination of modern design with the everlasting elegance of pearl gemstones is a firm favourite. Pearls with unexpected lustre, such as the mesmerising black South Sea pearl or the golden South Sea pearl, add a distinctive edge to your look while preserving their timeless elegance.
OUTFIT STYLING
Allow your jewellery to lead your look by adding elements that complement your brilliant pieces. Why not try matching the colour of your accessories or outfit to your gemstones? This playful combination can pull together an outfit and elevate the styling.
For statement necklaces, we love a square or sweetheart neckline. Perfectly framing the beauty of the jewellery whilst still providing a flattering cut to your ensemble.
A solid colour high neck dress or top can perfectly offset the beauty of a classic diamond line necklace. This quiet backdrop allows the magic of diamond jewellery to shine through, creating a chic look that will perfectly kick-start your new year.
COMPLETE THE LOOK
As a finishing touch, consider a festive hair and make-up look that harmonises with your jewellery and outfit. A bold red lip is a classic choice that adds a pop of colour and sophistication, perfectly complementing the festive spirit. Pair it with a sleek hairstyle or soft waves to create a balanced and polished appearance. This combination will ensure you stand out and shine at any holiday gathering.
