27TH NOVEMBER 2023 - ELLEN MADDEN, JEWELLERY WRITER

Diamond jewellery has always been a symbol of elegance and sophistication. Whether you're accessorising for a birthday brunch, a wedding or wanting to elevate your everyday attire, diamonds add a touch of luxury to every outfit. In our how to style guide, we explore the three trending ways of styling diamond jewellery: pairing it with denim and combining it with gold.

How to Wear Diamonds with Denim?

If you like to keep up (or stay ahead) of fashion, you’ll know that denim is doing the rounds. From matching jeans and jackets to denim vests and long maxi skirts – this year's trend isn’t going anywhere.

To take your denim attire to the next level, accessorise with diamonds. Trust us, it’s the streetwear chic way of doing denim. Here are our styling tips:

• Layer delicate diamond necklaces: Start by layering dainty diamond pendant necklaces of varying lengths. Opt for delicate chains that won't overpower the casual vibe of denim. When layering necklaces, think in odd numbers. Go for 3 or 5.

• Stack diamond bracelets: Stack diamond bracelets on your wrist. Choose slim, minimalistic designs that aren’t too OTT. And that won’t compete with the texture of denim. Mixing and matching different styles and shapes will give your stack a contemporary look.

• Statement diamond earrings: Go totally OTT with loud and proud diamond earrings. Go for diamond hoops, huggies or drop earrings adorned with diamonds. The boldness will add just the right amount of glamour to an otherwise casual denim attire.

How to Style Diamonds with Gold?

Our ultimate year-round combo: gold jewellery and diamonds. Daring. Luxurious. And undeniably eye-catching. Mixing your diamond jewellery with chunky gold pieces adds a warmth and necessary glitz and glamour to any outfit, regardless of what you’re actually wearing.

Here's our tips to mixing diamonds and gold jewellery:

• Layer diamond pendants on a chunky gold chain: Enhance the allure of a chunky gold chain by adding a diamond pendant as the centrepiece. The contrast between the brilliance of the diamonds and the warmth of the gold will create a striking effect. Look to easy-to-wear styles from the Hot Diamonds x Jac Jossa range.

• Mix and match (and stack) your diamond and gold rings: Combine pave diamond bands with chunky gold rings for a mixed-metal look. Experiment with different shapes, sizes, and textures from our Forever Diamonds collection to create your unique stack all in one place. Remember: we’re aiming for a variety of different textures. This is why diamonds and smooth gold work so well together.

• Pair your diamond studs with a gold statement necklace: The most classic combination? Diamond stud earrings. They look beyond beautiful when paired with a statement necklace (especially a gold one). Why? The simplicity of the diamond studs allows the necklace to take centre stage. A no-brainer.

Everyone’s best friend? Diamonds, of course. They've got the power to take any outfit from sensational to show-stopping. 

Whether you choose to dress up your casual denim look with delicate layers and statement earrings, or make a statement with bold gold pieces and dazzling diamonds, both are bound to make an impact. Remember: diamond jewellery is seriously versatile, so embrace the sparkle.
