Winter is a time to embrace the festive spirit, and what better way to do so than by upgrading your cold-weather wardrobe with some stunning winter jewelry sets? After all, as the chill of winter begins to set in, our wardrobes start to call for cozy layers, and our accessories follow suit when we incorporate bolder, more luxurious pieces. Whether you're wrapping up for a day out in the snow or dressing up for a holiday gathering, winter jewelry styling is all about playing with textures, colors, and layering to elevate your seasonal looks. From crystal earrings to statement earrings, we’ve got it all at MG. Let’s get into some adorable winter looks!

Winter Jewelry Styling Tips: Here’s How to Shine

Winter jewelry is the ultimate way to add sparkle to those heavier knits, warm wool coats, and soft cashmere scarves. Think of your accessories as the finishing touch—those dazzling moments that pull your entire outfit together. Here's how you can style your jewelry to make sure you're not only keeping warm but looking effortlessly chic this season.

Look 1: The Bold Romantic

Winter layers can sometimes feel bulky, but a bold, statement necklace or a pair of striking earrings will instantly break up the monotony. Plan a date night out and choose pieces that shine through the heavier fabrics and create contrast against dark or neutral winter shades. Our Isadora Pearl Collar is perfect for adding a touch of elegance, while our Fulton Double Drop Earrings are just the right amount of drama.

Look Two: Mixed Metal MG, a pair of gold and silver mixed metal earrings shown dangling from a branch

Winter is the perfect time to experiment with a mix of warm and cool tones in your jewelry. Rich golds evoke warmth and complement the season's deeper hues, while cool silvers and platinum accents add a sleek, icy elegance. You get the best of both worlds when you add mixed metal jewelry and accessories to your wardrobe – we love the Broome Earrings for this trend. Then, add a pop of color with gemstones like emeralds and sapphires to channel some of that festive cheer!

Look Three: Luxe Layers, a gold charm necklace shown layered with a gold herringbone necklace and shown again in a separate image layered with a green crystal tennis necklace

Layering isn’t just for clothes; it applies to your jewelry, too! Stack delicate necklaces in mixed metals, or layer several bracelets and rings for a look that's both playful and sophisticated. A dainty chain paired with a longer pendant can look chic layered over a cozy turtleneck, adding intrigue without overwhelming your look. Our Montgomery Charm Necklace is a great starting point for winter layering. Add one of our Tompkins crystal tennis necklaces or the Herringbone gold necklace to complete the look.

Look Four: The Snowfall Sophisticate, a woman wearing a pair of moth earrings

Winter is the time for hats, scarves, and high collars, which means your earrings need to make a statement. Choose bold, oversized studs or drop earrings that can be seen even when bundled up. Our Worth Crystal Hoops or Lux Moth Emerald Earrings offer the perfect balance between elegance and fun, catching the light with every turn.
