From Sunrise to Sparkle: The Magic of Holiday Jewelry
The holidays are all about transitions — from morning coffee dates to evening celebrations, from casual chic to full-on glam. The secret to moving seamlessly through your day? The right holiday jewelry.
Versatile accessories turn simple outfits into festive statements. A pair of gold hoops can brighten a cozy brunch look, while layered necklaces or sparkling studs take you gracefully into a candlelit dinner.
Vogue’s Holiday Accessory Edit notes that “seasonal jewelry is about fluidity — pieces that shine under every light and every dress code.”
