The holiday season is in full swing, and now’s the time to plan out all of your Christmas party looks. While you’ve likely already decided what to wear to upcoming celebrations, have you thought about how to accessorize your outfits? One of my favorite ways to turn even the simplest look into something festive is with a great pair of Christmas earrings.
When it comes to jewelry, I’m a sucker for all the earrings—from statement studs to beautiful chandeliers to elegant drop styles. I love them all! Today, I’m walking through some of my favorite jewelry brands and sharing the holiday earrings I’m currently loving, along with how I’d style them during this festive season.
Types of Christmas Earrings
Before diving into my current favorite styles, I wanted to touch on the general types of holiday earrings included in this post. If you search for “Christmas earrings,” you’ll likely find plaid bows, Christmas tree statements, and even a few snowman studs.
Don’t get me wrong—there’s nothing wrong with these styles. I love festive pieces just as much as the next girl! But the overarching theme I’m going for today leans more elevated and refined. Think: what you’d wear to a holiday cocktail party rather than a Christmas sweater gathering. For that reason, I’ll be highlighting sparkly, sophisticated pieces to complete your holiday looks. And the best part? Many of these earrings can be worn year-round—and certainly for New Year’s Eve!
Favorite Christmas Earrings
Now let’s jump into some of my favorite styles of the season. When searching for the perfect holiday accessories, it only makes sense to start with a few of my go-to jewelry brands—and once again, they didn’t disappoint! Here are some of my favorite Christmas earrings from four brands I love.
Dorsey
If you’ve read my Dorsey jewelry review, you know my love for this brand runs deep. They make beautiful lab-grown styles that add just the right amount of sparkle and shine to any look. Their pieces are elegant yet stately, and many of their designs have become some of my most-worn pieces of jewelry.
My current favorite Christmas earrings from Dorsey include this pair that transitions seamlessly from day to evening, this new drop style that truly brings the wow factor, and this emerald pair that adds the perfect touch of color.
Jennifer Behr
Jennifer Behr has been a longtime favorite of mine. I’ve had the chance to visit her beautiful studio in Greenpoint, where I watched artisans construct jewelry by hand. Their pieces are truly works of art!
The earrings I recently wore in this festive outfit and in this look would both be perfect for the holiday season. Some of my other favorite Jennifer Behr Christmas earrings include this head-turning style, this chic tassel pair, and these stunning statements!
Saint Laurent
Saint Laurent earrings are typically oversized, clip-on studs with an architectural feel. They’re not for the faint of heart—and sometimes they’re hard to find. I buy a lot of mine secondhand here.
I just took the plunge and bought these incredible oversized earrings, and I’ve been eyeing these and these for the holidays. They are on the pricier side, but you can sometimes find styles with a similar feel, like these, these, these and these, at a fraction of the cost!
Oscar de la Renta
Let me introduce another brand I’ve been wearing for years—Oscar de la Renta. Their earrings are typically colorful and bold, yet still feminine and beautiful.
If you’re looking for holiday earrings that add a pop of color, this drop style or these statement pieces will do just that. And if you’re wanting an elegant neutral option to complement your Christmas party looks, check out these earrings and these statement studs.
How to Style Christmas Earrings
Now that I’ve covered some of my current favorites, let’s chat about how to style these accessories for the holidays. I briefly touched on a few ideas in my post about Christmas party looks, but today I’m breaking it down even further and sharing outfit inspiration for each specific earring style.
Rhinestone Star Earrings
These star earrings have been my most-worn pair this holiday season. I’ve styled them several different ways, but my two favorite looks include one more casual and one completely over-the-top glam.
For the casual outfit, I wore these Christmas earrings with a tux jacket, crop barrel jeans, and platform heels to a retirement party—they added just the right amount of sparkle. For the glam look, I paired them with a stunning gold gown seen here for a winter gala. Whether you’re prepping for a formal or casual gathering, these earrings can truly complete any holiday outfit!
Green Drop Earrings
Green is one of my favorite colors, and I love that it gets such a big moment during the holidays. Lately, I’ve been eyeing these emerald drop earrings and thinking about how I would style them. I think they’d look fab with this jacquard mini dress and a pair of matching emerald green tights with a peep-toe shoe. To add a bit of warmth, layer on a faux fur jacket—like this under-$150 style.
Looking for green Christmas earrings that make more of a statement? In that case, I’d opt for this emerald double-drop pair or these bold studs!
Tassel Earrings
Tassels continue to trend, and I love that they’ve made their way into jewelry. For a festive but not overtly Christmas look, consider combining a few neutral tassel pieces. You could pair this midi dress with a chic bag and these tassel earrings, then finish the outfit with an oversized coat in a fun pattern to pull it all together—this one would be perfect!
Christmas Earrings for Every Holiday Outfit
As you plan your holiday party looks, don’t forget to think through the small details—including accessories. Sometimes it’s these little elements that make the biggest impact, taking a look from good to great. I hope the Christmas earrings and outfit ideas I shared today help you put together a look that makes you feel festive, elegant, and chic.
