Shimmering lights and ornate decorations make the holidays a festive time of year, but there’s no reason why the adorning should be limited to homes.

“The holidays are an ideal time for women to have fun with their style and add some glitz to their everyday apparel,” said Bonni Davis, Vice President of Sales for lia sophia. “Whether a woman is going to a cocktail party after work or attending a formal affair, the right jewelry can turn a basic outfit into an eye-catching look, perfect for any type of holiday gathering.”

According to Davis, women will want to keep the following tips in mind when accessorizing with jewelry this holiday season.

- Mix your Metals – All types of metals, especially

matte gold, shiny silver and polished hematite, can be mixed to add interest to jewelry ensembles. Contrasting metal textures are another fabulous option.


- Make a Statement – Bold accessories, such as chandelier earrings or a bejeweled cuff bracelet, instantly add a touch of drama to even the simplest outfit. When wearing a statement piece, such as a bib or collar necklace, or glitzy cocktail ring, keep your other jewelry simple.


- Catch the Light – Faceted gemstone beads and crystals add color and sparkle to any outfit. Get this look with long, layered necklaces and stretch bracelets.


- A Classic Twist – As you carry on with the festivities of the holiday season, explore the re-emerging pearl trend. Strands of white, gray and colored pearls mixed with lengths of chain are simple and elegant, with a modern twist. Try layering pearl and chain necklaces, or opt for multi-strand necklaces featuring a combination of faceted crystals and pearls.


- The Dark Side – Don’t be afraid to explore the trend of darker metal colors, such as hematite and pot black, which pair well with holiday’s popular blacks and grays. Keep it sleek and simple with pure metal pieces, or go for a little more shine with the addition of crystals.
