Incorporating Imitation Jewellery is the best idea to keep not only for special occasions. With major fashion houses sending signature costume jewellery down the runways season after season, the fashion industry is embracing a welcome shift away from exorbitantly priced pieces and towards iconic designs that add character to our day-to-day outfits.

With the holiday season quickly approaching, if you’re still looking for last-minute gifts for that special someone – or yourself – we’ve compiled a list of scene-stealing costume jewellery pieces, ranging from sleek, simple lines to Chucky, audacious pieces, and everything in between, the dazzling piece would add to the rotation to accessorise any outfit.

Bottega Veneta – A sophisticated, romantic look

Accessories are truly the cherry on top. To own the look, personalise any outfit with jewellery designs that are both understated and minimalist.

Bottega Veneta’s Star Necklace is the epitome of understatement. The slim gourmet chain is interspersed with star-shaped charms and is available in 18-karat gold-plated and sterling silver iterations to suit both cool and warm skin tones. The elongated necklace with no clasp is designed to be easily slipped on and off.

On a weekday, a turtleneck sweater and a pair of pants dress up the overall look’s languid elegance. It also works well for any romantic night out when paired with a classic little black dress and killer stilettos.

When your heart just screams for a little drama, add the Star Ring from the collection. The dazzling design is created by a concentric star motif embellished with crystal pavé-set and round-cut cubic zirconia. The two-tone design also adds to the fun factor.

Celine – A classic, elegant look

Embracing the savoir-faire of the 1960s, Celine has curated a collection of fashion jewellery that pays homage to the cherished trend of the era. The Baroque Maillon Triomphe Earrings feature oversized, irregular cultured pearls. Above them is the iconic Celine Triomphe house motif in gold brass, which is carried through the collection’s Pearls Multi-chain Maillon Triomphe Necklace.

This season, the choker-style trend was seen on major fashion runways, and Celine’s adjustable one adds a modernist twist to the unabated silhouette while staying true to the fashion house’s DNA.

We couldn’t leave out the retro hair clip trend that’s sweeping the fashion world. Celine’s cursive writing in gold is set against the tortoiseshell hair clip to complete the vintage glam while staying true to the fashion house’s legacy.

CHANEL – A daring and extravagant look

Chanel has already stated that there is no need to hold back. The latest costume jewellery line is an unapologetic and completely over-the-top nod to the vintage look. Gabrielle Chanel, the French Maison’s creator, was known to incorporate costume jewellery into her haute couture wardrobe.

This season, the fashion house is pushing the vintage trend to new heights. Cuffs and bracelets in a variety of metals and coloured resin echo the mix of casual and glammed-up codes. Signature Chanel elements such as the double C logo, camellia, ribbons, pearls, and leather woven chains are also here to stay, inspiring wearers to be bold and express their individuality.

FENDI – A refined appearance

Fendi is at the polar opposite end of the spectrum, with clean lines and sleek silhouettes at the forefront of the collection.

The double necklace with the Italian fashion house’s signature FF Baguette motif makes it much easier to achieve the jewellery stacking trend. The set includes two gold-tone necklaces of varying lengths that can be worn together or separately. The embossed diamond effect would look fantastic against a winter jacket.

The drop earrings with Fendi lettering are yet another design that streamlines the range’s flowing designs. The way they sway elegantly with every movement adds fluidity and flirtatiousness to the overall look.

With Christmas fast approaching, these stunning costume jewellery pieces will have any sophisticated fashionista swooning as they compete with the twinkling festive lights.
