Tis the season to jingle, deck the halls and make merry. The party season has descended, and it means digging into our wardrobes for all the festive cheer we can wear.
Great holiday outfits depend on two things: the clothes and the jewellery that completes them. From adding festive cheer to your Xmas day dress or standing out in an LBD, holiday jewellery is more complicated from your standard everyday sparkle. The holiday season is the time to go big. Drag out those pieces from your jewellery box, dust them off and let them shine full and vibrant again. Welcome to the MYJS Style Guide To Christmas Party Jewellery.
Holiday mode: on
Holiday jewelery
Holiday jewellery is colourful, flashy and statement making.
Need a holiday injection but can’t get one? Just pop on your holiday jewels to make it feel like a party any day of the week.
Party-worthy jewellery makes you shine. Great statement pieces will amplify your star power for eye-catching glamour – you’ll be stopped by everyone asking, “where did you get those sparkles?”
Let’s make plans – I have cute jewellery to show off
Stylish statement earrings
A great pair of sparkly earrings frame our face with a dash of shine, drawing attention to our eyes.
For fun, feminine and flirty, dangling chandelier cluster earrings – clear or colourful – are a vibrant standout. Go for big in volume but opt for lightweight and supple in design
What happens under the mistletoe stays under the mistletoe
As the perfect party accessory, statement necklaces add a dose of sparkle to the day – and goes with everything, because it’s all in the attitude.
Plunging or V necklines love drop pendants to draw attention to your breast assets.
The sculptured design of MYJS Bracelets and Rings powers you with forceful energy for a fresh modern look.
Tennisbracelets
Frost your wrist with the brilliance of sparkles designed to stand out in its simple edgy minimalism. With classic design and popular appeal, tennis bracelet are the ideal all-occasion jewellery.
Bold bangles
Christmas is the time to go big or go home. Go for bold with a defining signature arm piece worn with off-the-shoulder or sleeveless. All-black? A pop of colour from an audacious bangle presents a fearless edge. Follow in the footsteps of Wonder Woman and dare to wear one on each wrist.
Colourful cocktail rings
Gemstone rings are attention-grabbing and reflect your adventurous personality. Brandish that flamboyant, pronounced piece of jewellery from your fingers. When it comes to rings, there are no limits on size.
Your everyday style gets to reflect your personal style, but holiday jewellery should take you out of your comfort zone and encourage you to go big and bold. Holiday jewellery is next level sparkle, so the real dilemma will be finding the balance between enough sparkle to pop without ending up competing with the Christmas tree.
If we’re paring back our gems for understated minimal accessories – particularly when worn with flashy patterns – we need to make each piece count.
A set of classic jewellery like the MYJS Trinity Collection goes a long way during the party season. The mixed metals of gold, rhodium and rose gold necklace, bracelet, earrings with a fun cocktail ring keeps the festive spirit alive.
If the gems are taking centre stage, pair to a neutral outfit or opt for daring silhouettes for a bold, sleek statement. Festive red lippy is the ultimate finishing touch – because it’s all about the next step….
Collect moments – not things
Make an impact
As the LBD of your jewellery box, MYJS Signature Studs are perfectly engineered to fit to the human ear to add a splash of instant zhush, with all the sparkle and none of the weight.
The holidays are about celebration. We’re expressing gratitude for what we have and what we can be, taking the party season to make each moment matter. Our shine deserves to be at its most vibrant and fullest while appreciating the wondrous lives we live.
It’s our time to shine – so turn up the dial to full illumination. Put on that sparkly jewellery and take out those dazzling outfits.
During holiday season, we have all the variety that sits between deliciously predictable to the piquant unexpected. We can keep to theme, revolving around the usually stunning clear, green or red pieces. Or forget holiday colours entirely – and just hit high wattage with pink, amethyst, violet or topaz. Want left-of-centre? Orange and yellows will always be stunning.
Anything glittery such as satin, sequin is the epitome of fun for this time of year. Pare back on the accessories for that flirty balance.
Bright shiny gems can’t compete against busy patterns such as brash Christmas jumpers. Pops of sparkle such as studs and delicate chains offer a balance with the right touch of shine and none of the overwhelm/
Fear the full sparkle or sequin look? Neutral outfits finished with glittering necklace, earrings, ring and bracelets still mean an eye-catching look. Opt for a main focal point that adds to the allure – such as pendants to bring out that plunging neckline, glittering earrings to draw attention to the face, sleek bracelets to highlight those slim wrists or the perfect cocktail ring to show off that manicure. Just get out there and illuminate the world.
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful
– Norman Vincent Peale
What type of party is it?
With the calendar filling up fast, the ‘what to wear’ struggle is real.
The occasion calls for the outfit, and the right holiday jewellery will fit every holiday outfit. From black-tie events to intimate dinner parties or casual drinking soirees, the right jewellery adds all the sparkle for a lasting impression.
The holiday office party
When it comes to the office, it’s smart to keep it slightly formal. A conservative little black or red dress can’t go wrong. Add the right jewellery, the simple all-purpose little black/red dress goes from blah to bam! A statement necklace paired to subtle earrings like studs or minimal drop earrings finished with a single bracelet or cuff will twinkle in all the right places while keeping your look professionally trendy.
Christmas with the in-laws
The day to enjoy the comforts of floating dresses or skirts or jeans with the added edge of a great tailored shirt. Comfort can be chic.
Sparkly earrings and a statement necklace adds the right glamour and shine. For added civility, a pearl necklace and earrings are always appropriate.
Get glammy
Hitting the clubs to see in the New Year? Chandelier Cluster Earrings and Hoops say “make way” for a sexy minimalist look.

Her soul was topaz – you could see it in her eyes
The history of topaz
First used in Sanskrit as ‘topas’ or ‘tapaz’ for fire and derived from Egyptian island ‘Topazios’ – now St Johns Island or Zabargad Island near the Red Sea – topaz traditionally referred to any yellow gemstones.
In Ancient Egypt, topaz was believed to capture the glow of Sun-God and giver of life Ra, protecting the wearer from injuries while endowing them with great strength. Its golden hues were also linked with the Sun-God Apollo.
The gem of sunshine and happiness, the radiant crystal of Topaz Crystal Bella Earrings represents calming influence for inner peace.
In India, the word ‘topaz’ stood for heat, and Hindus believed it a scared stone for its protective, live-giving abilities. In Africa, healing rituals with topaz established communion with the spirit.
Topaz is mentioned in the bible with high-priest Aaron, as well as Revelations as one of the stones of the apocalypse. Ancient Romans credited topaz with preventing sickness, dispelling bad omens, healing poor vision and calming anger, promoting topaz as the symbol for uprightness and virtue.
Initially sourced from Zabargad during ancient times, it is now believed the yellow stones of this island was actually the lemon gemstone Citrine. The first genuine topaz was found in Germany in 1737. Worn by royalty and clergy during the middle ages through to the 1800s, topaz became more affordable and available once large deposits were discovered. During the 1800s, the Ural Mountains of Russia and Brazil became the first large sources of topaz. Today, South America remains the largest producer of topaz, where it is also mined in Australia, Germany, Italy, Scotland, Norway, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Japan, Nigeria and the US.

The lively fire, clarity, colours and hardness of topaz recognises truth and wisdom to transform negative energy into positive, boosting happy and invigorating vibrations for an abundance of vitality and healing power.
The stone for love, truth and good fortune, wearing topaz boosts confidence to achieve goals and dispel cowardice while attracting fidelity and friendship. Renowned for its healing properties, topaz cures the heated blood of fevers and regulates the heart, stemming bleeding to ease inflammations, discomfort and pain for good digestion while promoting glandular health. As the gem for the heart, topaz releases anger and surrenders to forgiveness, bringing balance to turbulent emotions and cooling our blood from rage and anger to calm and peace. This is the gemstone for treating depression and alleviating fears to heal shock and trauma while bringing balance to our emotions. Topaz facilitates happy living, boosting our emotional nourishment for inner fulfilment, and higher productivity for inner peace.

Topaz and fashion
As the colour symbolising freedom, joy, happiness and hope, warm honey-gold topaz brings sunshine to our wardrobe. In Asian cultures, yellow represents luxury, nobility, bravery and wealth. The imperial colour for China, warm yellow was associated with the earth element, standing for power, loyalty and prosperity.
Yellow loves medium to olive skin tones but regardless of your skin colour, always expect to stand out traffic: topaz is massively energetic and fun, bringing out your bright, dynamic self.
Representative to summer, yellow topaz works best as a punctuation or exclamation to your look.
While it is synonymous to cowardice, it still takes guts to wear warm honey yellow, so wear sparingly rather than as an everyday canvas.
Yellow is particularly perfect as an accent to spice up your outfit, instantly bringing eye-catching warmth to a black outfit or minimal white, beige, tan, grey or denim look.
Immerse yourself in a life that moves you
Topaz fashion jewellery
While topaz was hugely popular with royalty, the rise of diamonds in the 1950s took away attention from this warm honey gem with stars like Joan Crawford and Greta Garbo keeping the love for the stone alive. Lady Gaga’s recent foray into the yellow stone has revived interest in the rare hue – particularly as we enter the age of fully embracing our uniqueness
Its many different combinations make topaz an easy match for our wardrobe. Topaz is striking against dark hair and skin tones. Wear with warm colours such as red, brown, tan or purple for a rich, seasonal look. Boost green, dark blue or black with topaz pieces for immediate sparkle.
