5 STATEMENT JEWELRY FOR HALLOWEEN

When layered with chains depicting miniature potion bottles or spell books with gothic inspired chokers adorned with charms, or bloody pearl chokers, your entire neck accessorizing goes from try hard to effortlessly spooky.

• EERIE EARRINGS

  

The moon has long been a favorite motif for jewelry, especially dangling earrings or studs, imagine the moon and stars dripping from your ears or even bat wings adorning your gothic outfit and whispering tales of an eerie night. Stacking earrings is also a way to tap into the energy of the season. Think dangling spiderweb ear cuff designs that frame the face, or a witch and her broomstick with statement studs shaped like black cats or tiny ghosts, nothing can go wrong.

STYLING TIPS FOR HALLOWEEN JEWELRY

BALANCE IS KEY

When wearing bold statement pieces, let one item be the focal point. Pair a dramatic necklace with simpler earrings, or let ornate earrings shine by keeping other jewelry minimal.

COORDINATE WITH YOUR COSTUME

Choose jewelry that complements your Halloween outfit without overwhelming it. A vampire costume could be enhanced with a ruby-studded choker, while a witch might opt for moon and star-themed pieces.

DAY TO NIGHT TRANSITION

Incorporate subtle Halloween jewelry into your daytime look, then amp it up for evening events. Start with a delicate bat necklace during the day and add dramatic earrings and rings for a night out.

MIX METALS AND TEXTURES

 Combine different metal tones like silver, gold, and gunmetal for a more eclectic, vintage look. Mix in velvet chokers or leather wrap bracelets for textural interest.

LAYER WITH INTENTIONALITY

Create depth by layering necklaces of varying lengths. Start with a choker, add a medium-length pendant, and finish with a long, dangling piece.

CONSIDER YOUR NECKLINE

 Choose necklaces that complement your outfit's neckline. V-necks pair well with pendant necklaces, while Turtlenecks provide a perfect backdrop for long, dramatic earrings.

DON'T FORGET YOUR HANDS

Halloween is the perfect time to experiment with unconventional ring placement. Try wearing multiple rings on one finger or explore knuckle rings for a bold, edgy look. Look at this Men's Antiqued Polished Skull Ring in Sterling Silver with Spinning Center for inspiration.

BE VERSATILE

Look for pieces that can be styled beyond Halloween. A spider web cuff bracelet or a moonstone ring can add a touch of mystery to outfits year-round.
