Bejewel Yourself in Luxury

During the spring and summer months, we were in our WFH jewels, wearing just enough sparkle or shine for Zoom conferences or days we could escape for walks, trips to the beach or the occasional dinner outside. But the more recent trends on the red carpet (the Venice Film Festival, the MTV Awards) all point towards a dressier approach to daytime for fall and winter.

We aren’t advising you to wear shoulder dusters or go wear all-out bling with your winter clothing layers. But we are suggesting that you up your jewelry game with richer, bolder and more stand-out pieces than the delicate, subtle pieces you have been wearing for the past six months. This means interpreting red carpet jewelry moments — like Cate Blanchett’s fingers full of rings or Tilda Swinton’s diamond ear climber (both seen at the Venice Film Festival).

DIt’s about wearing a diamond necklace with an air of nonchalance — a v-neck cashmere cardigan or a tailored blazer. These are pieces that represent the fine and the fun, the elegant and the edgy — all with a bit of fantasy thrown in. Isn’t that what we desire from our jewelry? A bit of magic and a way to make ourselves feel pampered? If we have our basics, then it’s time to add some more elaborate pieces to our jewelry wardrobe, but just enough so they allow us to shine while wearing them.

Here are our selections for dressing up as we head back to the office or, if we are still Zoom-bound, upping the ante on the top half while we still wear sweat pants on the bottom.
