Styling Your Diamond Necklace to Rock The Festivals

This is your official guide to styling your sparkle this season. We’ll cover outfits, layering, hairstyles, care, and more. You’ll know exactly how to style your diamond necklace for different events and situations this festive season. 
 

1. Sync Your Necklace with Your Festive Wardrobe

The festive season is a marathon of different moments, from cosy gatherings to full-blown soirées. The secret to making your style last this marathon is to match your diamond necklace to the right outfit.

For Daytime Celebrations

Christmas lunches or winter brunches call for modest elegance. A simple diamond pendant necklace is perfect here. Pair it with a good cashmere jumper. Or a silk blouse. Or, a smart midi dress. 

• Necklace Styling: Opt for shorter chains. You want the diamond sitting delicately on the collarbone.
• Outfit Idea: A single diamond solitaire pendant against a cream or grey knit. Effortlessly modest – intrinsically elegant. 
   

For Christmas Parties 

Right, this is your excuse for glamour. Bring out the diamond tennis necklace. A choker works beautifully too. They sing against sequins or rich velvet. 

• Necklace Styling: Keep other pieces simple. Let the diamond Christmas necklace stand out. 
   

For New Year’s Eve

This is NOT the night for subtlety. NYE is about bold statements. It is the time to experiment. Layer your diamond necklaces for New Year’s Eve. Go for different lengths. Create some drama.

• Outfit Idea: A sleek black gown. Or, a metallic jumpsuit. Add those layered diamond necklaces to these chic outfits. Create a show-stopping look for the midnight countdown. 

 

2. Layer Your Diamonds 

Have you been around the fashion districts of London lately? Then you must have seen that layering diamond necklaces is THE move. We see chic, highly customized layering patterns all across the city.

The ‘right’ diamond necklace layers can add a ton of texture and depth to your festive look. Want a balanced, artful, and ‘right’ stack? Follow this simple formula:

• Start with a short choker or collar necklace
• Add a medium-length pendant for definition
• Finish with a long, delicate chain for movement

The key is contrast. Mix shapes. Mix diamond cuts. Mix chain styles. 

Heading to a Mayfair dinner? Begin with a short choker and finish with a sleek, long chain.  

Heading to a countryside Christmas? Make your second piece a classic pendant.

 

3. Choose a ‘Winter Glow’ Metal 

British winter light is soft. Your diamond necklaces metal should look warm and gentle in this light. It must make your diamonds sparkle effectively. The metals that do these are:

• White Gold or Platinum: Both of these metals are perfect for cool-toned palettes – your silvers, icy blues, and emerald greens. They enhance that sharp diamond sparkle.
• Yellow Gold: Adds instant warmth. Its inherent richness looks magnificent against traditional Christmas reds, burgundies, and forest greens.
• Rose Gold: This is romantic. Looks beautiful with soft champagne tones and at candlelight events.

And yes, you absolutely can mix your metals. What about a white gold diamond necklace layered with a rose gold pendant? It is a very modern mix that you can find many jewellers experimenting with. 
 

4. Balance Your Accessories

Your diamond necklace is the STAR. Let it take centre stage.

Wearing a statement diamond piece (a choker or a big collar)? Keep your earrings subtle (e.g., wear studs). Keep your bracelets minimal as well. If you are wearing a delicate pendant, pair it with matching earrings or a slim bangle. 

The golden rule is to make the diamond necklace your outfit’s FOCAL POINT. Let every other accessory else support it quietly.

5. Go for Hairstyles That Highlight Your Necklace

Your hairstyle will be your diamond necklace’s undesignated frame. You’ll see how much their synchronicity matters when you are balancing style with staying warm.
Prioritize these hairstyles: 

• Up-dos or sleek buns: They’ll draw the eye right to your neckline- ideal if you are wearing chokers and short necklaces.
• Loose waves or soft curls: A lovely, romantic pairing for longer necklaces.
• Half-up hairstyles: The perfect compromise. Polished but relaxed. Ideal for festive dinners.

And, a quick makeup tip: add a subtle shimmer. Opt for a hint of champagne eye shadow, or a soft highlighter. They pick up the glow from your diamonds beautifully.

6. Dress for Every Festive Occasion

Every festive party has a different dress code. You need to have different diamond necklace codes for every party as well.   

• Office Christmas Parties: Aim for sophistication. A fine diamond pendant or diamond tennis necklace is perfect for posh office parties. Your diamond Christmas necklace should be polished, but not too overpowering.
• Family Gatherings: Comfort is the key. Smaller, classic diamond pieces are best. Think diamond stud earring pairings that pair well with cosy knits.
• New Year’s Eve Galas: Now is the time to go bold with Happy New Year necklaces. Bring out the statement chokers, the multi-row collars, and the big, layered looks.

Diamond necklaces from Divour Diamonds can effortlessly handle all of these moments – from casual elegance to high glamour. 

Pick smartly and add just the right measure of radiance to each event.
