Christmas Earrings, Necklaces, and Holiday Jewelry Gifts

When it comes to the holiday season, a thoughtful piece of jewelry is one of the easiest ways to elevate your look or deliver a meaningful gift. Whether you’re heading to a family gathering, attending back-to-back holiday parties, or searching for items that balance sparkle with subtlety, these Christmas earrings, necklaces, and holiday party jewelry styles bring festive energy without sacrificing everyday wearability.

From statement earrings to delicate chains and winter jewelry that shines through the new year, we’ve curated a collection to fit every vibe — office parties, Christmas dinners, gift swaps, and cozy celebrations at home.

What kind of earrings should I wear for Christmas dinner?

This is the time to lean into sparkle without going overboard (don't go straight christmas-themed earrings). Think gold huggies, drop earrings with pearl details, or small red and green accents. These styles walk the line between festive and elegant. Perfect for a sit-down meal with family.

Salty Cali Pick: Sol Earrings

Customer Review:

"These earrings are so fun. I actually found mine at a boutique in Delray Beach, FL and my friend loved them so much I bought them to surprise her on Christmas. These are honestly the only pair of earrings I’ve been wearing and have become my favorite." – Adri R.

I want jewelry that feels festive but still subtle. Any ideas?

You don’t have to wear a snowflake on your ears to feel seasonal. The best festive jewelry blends timeless design with small nods to the moment. Look for winter jewelry made in gold or rose gold, with soft sparkle or symbolic touches — stars, shells, or simple pearls.

What’s the best jewelry to wear to a holiday party?

When picking out jewelry for a holiday party, focus on styles that bring just the right amount of shine without stealing the spotlight from your outfit. It depends on the setting, but here’s how to break it down:

• Office party: Gold huggies or a tennis bracelet that catches the light without being distracting
• Cocktail party: Go for layered necklaces and bold drop earrings
• Family gathering: Choose versatile pieces that blend into cozy looks and look great in photos

Customer Review:

What jewelry looks good with a red or green holiday outfit?

If you want to lean into color, look for minimalist red and green jewelry touches like enamel, gemstones, or charm details to complement your outfit without feeling overly themed.

Colorful outfits deserve neutral accessories. Gold holiday jewelry is always a win, as are pearls and white or clear stones. These pair beautifully with red and green tones without making the look feel busy.

Salty Cali Pick: Paperclip Chain

I’m going to a Christmas party. What jewelry works for that?

You want Christmas jewelry that pops in the moment but still works after. Consider layering gold necklaces or adding bold Christmas earrings in a clean shape. Charm necklaces are also a fun touch when paired with a simple top or dress.

Customer Review:

"Purchased this necklace for my daughter for Christmas and can't wait to give it to her. The quality is great and she loves your jewelry." – Pamela V.

What kind of necklace should I get to go with my holiday dress?

If the neckline is low, try a layered look or a long pendant. If it’s higher, go with a shorter chain or choker-style piece. Holiday necklaces should elevate, not compete with, the outfit.

Salty Cali Pick: Sunrise Necklace

Customer Review:

"This is my summer necklace. I can go from work to pool, jet ski or boat and its wear is perfect. Possibly this year's Christmas gift for the girls." – Kristin R.

I want to buy Christmas jewelry that I can also wear after the holidays.

Go for versatile designs. That means no jingle bells or snowflakes. Look for subtle sparkle, gold finishes, or birthstone-inspired tones. These styles look seasonal without locking you into the holiday theme.

Salty Cali Pick: Sprinkle of Flirt Bracelet in Purple

What’s a good jewelry gift for a holiday swap or party?

Stud earrings, a tennis bracelet, or a dainty layering piece make excellent, budget-friendly choices. These pieces work across personal styles and feel intentional without being overly specific.

Whether you’re shopping for a family gathering or styling yourself for a holiday party, the right Christmas party jewelry is all about intention. Look for subtle sparkle, timeless metals like gold or rose gold, and pieces that can move from one event to the next with ease. From Christmas necklaces to holiday earrings and winter party accessories, you’ll find something that checks all the boxes in the Salty Cali holiday collection.

Let the season shine — just not too loud.
