A Touch Of Green & Red
Here in Australia, Christmas can look quite different from our friends in the Northern Hemisphere. This is because we aren’t privy to many of the novelties of Christmas in Europe and the United States such as snow and warm, cosy Christmas jumpers as we have a Summer Christmas. Sure, we get to take advantage of a whole different set of traditions such as a lounge in the pool after Christmas lunch or a trip to the beach but we’d be lying if we said we didn’t have a little FOMO from the traditions that those on the other side get to enjoy, particularly the festive clothing. With it being too warm for ugly Christmas jumpers and woolly scarves, you have to get creative with how you incorporate a festive theme into your look-especially when preparing for the annual Christmas do.
One fun way to get festive with your look while also dressing for the weather is by dressing in the Christmas colours; red, white and green. Incorporating red, white and green into your outfit will not only help you have a little fun with your look but will also allow you to stand out among the rest in your beautiful, bright and bold colours. If you aren’t brave enough to rock such fierce colours in your clothes, you can always add these hues to your accessories and go with a more neutral outfit. A textbook method for incorporating green, red and even white accessories to your look is with gemstone jewellery, namely ruby and emerald jewellery. Arguably, the most popular of all the gemstones emeralds and rubies have a vibrant hue that is instantly recognisable and symbolises balance, harmony, renewal and love, traits that are very much on par with the meaning of Christmas. There is a myriad of ways that you can adorn these gemstones at your next function such as rocking a pair of enchanting emerald earrings with a matching emerald pendant or wearing a ruby ring with a ruby bracelet. You could even mix and match by wearing emeralds and rubies together. Alternatively, opt for some of the lesser-known red and green gemstones such as garnet and peridot.

Coordinated Jewellery
When you don’t have too much jewellery in your collection, coordinating your accessories can be difficult as the pieces you have often look completely different to the others. And while there aren’t exactly any unwritten style rules when it comes to jewellery, mixing gold and silver jewellery or zirconia and diamonds together may make your outfit look a little too casual for the office Christmas party or an outing with friends. This is where jewellery sets and coordinated pieces come in handy. Usually consisting of two to three items, jewellery sets are matching accessories sold in a bundle that is designed to be worn together. They will often feature a pendant or a necklace, a pair of earrings and sometimes even a matching ring or bracelet. On the contrary, coordinated pieces are items such as a pendant, a pair of earrings and sometimes even a ring that feature a similar or identical design but are sold separately.
Seamlessly bringing the whole look together, jewellery sets and coordinated pieces not only make for great Christmas gifts but are an easy solution that ensures all your accessories pair well together and with minimal effort. Jewellery sets in particular are a great investment for your next Christmas do as they are versatile and affordable. With so many different styles and designs to pick from, it's not at all difficult to find the set that pairs the best with your outfit. You could add a touch of luxe with a decadent diamond set or a bit of old Hollywood with a pearl set, go playful in a blushing pink zirconia set or have some fun with a majestic gemstone jewellery set. If your jewellery budget is a little more flexible, opt for a regal pair of pear-shaped drop earrings, a pendant, and a matching ring for additional sparkle.

A Bracelet Or Bangle Stack
While it may be unfortunate that we don’t get to enjoy Christmas novelties such as ugly Christmas jumpers and cosy woollen coats, having a Summer Christmas definitely has its perks. For one, you don’t have to worry about being too cold in your Christmas party outfit and you also get to show off your accessories a lot more. When you’re all rugged up in big coats and chunky jumpers it can be very hard to show off your accessories, especially wristwear such as watches, bracelets and bangles. The warmer weather during the Christmas period is the perfect opportunity to dust off your favourite sleeveless ensemble and even get a little creative with the way that you style your jewellery for any party. One easy way to get a little crafty with your look at your next Christmas function is jewellery layering, namely layering with bracelets and bangles.
Wristwear layering is an excellent way to revitalise the accessories in your collection that are getting a little tired and to help dress up your look. The key to making layering work is to choose pieces that look somewhat similar so that you can have a bit of consistency. This may be as simple as choosing all gold bracelets and bangles or limiting yourself to one or two styles at once such as chain bracelets and diamond bracelets, or even multiple bangles. When putting together your bracelet stack, try limiting yourself to at least four to five pieces and layer them in order of size and width to avoid your wrists looking too cluttered. You don’t want to be wearing so many bracelets and bangles that it is restricting your movement and putting your accessories at risk of getting caught on your outfit.
