Midnight Radiance: Jewellery to Ring in the New Year, Curated by C W Sellors
As the calendar turns to December, outfits glow a little brighter. Candle-lit dinners, cosy family gatherings, sparkling Christmas trees, and countdowns at midnight - the season practically calls for jewellery that catches the light and lifts the mood. But the best pieces don’t just shine for one night. A great piece of jewellery should feel just as appropriate on a cold February evening or a spring brunch as it does under fairy lights on Christmas Eve. The six pieces below strike that balance: eye-catching enough for festive glamour, yet tasteful enough for everyday wear.
18ct White Gold 0.15ct Diamond Earrings
A classic, understated pair of stud earrings that deliver just the right amount of sparkle. These studs are ideal for dressing up any festive outfit. The total of 0.15ct of brilliant-cut diamonds, set in crisp white gold, creates a subtle glimmer that flashes under holiday lights, candlelight dinners, or champagne toasts without ever feeling ostentatious. What makes these studs a must-have beyond the holiday season is their timeless simplicity. They slip on easily with a scarf or an evening gown, and remain classy enough for office wear, weekend lunches, or elegant dinners. Because of their modest size and clean design, they’re easy to pair with virtually any outfit — a perfect “first diamond” or everyday staple that quietly elevates your look.
Marco Bicego Marrakech Onde 18ct Yellow Gold Diamond Pendant Necklace, CG785 B YW M5
For those who love the idea of jewellery combined with personality and artistry, Marco Bicego’s Marrakech Onde pendant is a showstopper. The brand is famed for its hand-twisted gold techniques, and this piece is a shining example of that Italian craftsmanship. The delicate, looping coils of 18ct yellow gold form a pendant that feels fluid, sculptural and wonderfully unique. A diamond-set bail adds just the right amount of sparkle — a gentle glimmer rather than a full dazzle.
It sits beautifully against everything from a satin cami to a soft roll-neck, catching the light with every movement. The Marrakech collection has long been celebrated for blending luxury with organic charm, and this pendant carries that legacy forward. And best of all, its warm gold tones and gentle curves make it just as wearable on summer evenings or everyday outings as on Christmas night. It’s a statement piece, certainly, but one that feels effortlessly natural.
18ct White Gold Diamond Bubble Drop Earrings, FEU-2449
If you’re looking for festive drama without going overboard, these Diamond Bubble Drop Earrings strike the perfect balance. Crafted in 18ct white gold, they feature a playful cascade of diamonds arranged in soft, rounded clusters that mimic bubbling champagne, making them especially fitting for holiday celebrations and New Year toasts.
These earrings offer a slightly bolder look than classic studs, making them perfect for evening events. Yet thanks to their clean lines and refined proportions, they remain wearable long after the festivities end, complementing everything from tailored shirts to romantic dresses. If you want earrings that feel celebratory but still grown-up, these are pure perfection.
9ct Yellow Gold Blue John Oval Shape Cufflinks, CL415
For those who appreciate jewellery with heritage and individuality, Blue John cufflinks are unbeatable. Blue John is an extraordinarily rare gemstone found only in Derbyshire’s Castleton caves, meaning each piece of jewellery carries within it a story unique to Britain’s landscape. These cufflinks feature smooth oval cabochons of Blue John set in warm 9ct yellow gold, creating a beautiful contrast between the gemstone’s swirling purples, creams and amber-like shades and the rich metal that surrounds it. No two stones are alike, making every pair entirely unique.
The effect is both traditional and distinctive — perfect for someone who wants something more characterful than standard cufflinks. They also make an outstanding seasonal gift, especially for those who appreciate local craftsmanship or sentimental connections to the Peak District. And beyond party season, they bring individuality to business wear and formal outfits alike.
Fope Vendôme 18ct White Gold 0.10ct Diamond Bracelet, 560B/BBR
FOPE has built its reputation on luxurious Italian design combined with exceptional wearability, and the Vendôme bracelet is a beautiful example of that philosophy. Crafted in flexible 18ct white-gold mesh, it glides smoothly around the wrist like a ribbon of luminous metal. At its centre sits a diamond-set rondel, understated, elegant and perfectly placed. This bracelet is ideal for festive occasions thanks to its refined sparkle and graceful profile. It layers effortlessly with dress watches, glitters softly under candlelight and feels wonderfully comfortable throughout long evenings out.
Yet what truly sets it apart is its versatility. Unlike some statement jewellery that waits patiently for special events, the Vendôme bracelet fits naturally into everyday life. It’s subtle enough for a working week yet luxurious enough for big celebrations - a signature piece you’ll never want to take off.
Whether you’re preparing for dazzling December parties or searching for the perfect gift, these six jewellery pieces capture everything we love about festive style: sparkle, craftsmanship, elegance and a sense of occasion. Each design offers enough glamour for Christmas and New Year celebrations, while remaining beautifully wearable throughout the rest of the year.
