Watches
AÂ luxury fashion item few can do without, watches are not just functional timekeepers; they are also elegant accessories that women can cherish for a lifetime. For Christmas 2023, mechanical watches are making a significant comeback too.

Patek Philippe, a legendary name in horology, continues to impress with timepieces like the Calatrava collection. These watches exemplify the brand’s commitment to excellence and sophistication. Meanwhile, Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual series is a shining example of precision engineering and timeless elegance. Audemars Piguet, with its Royal Oak collection, combines avant-garde design with traditional craftsmanship, appealing to women with an appreciation for both art and innovation.
On the other end of the spectrum, sustainability has taken centre stage in the luxury watch industry. Women who are eco-conscious will appreciate brands like IWC Schaffhausen and Panerai, who have both integrated sustainable materials and practices into their collections. These watches showcase that style and ethics can coexist harmoniously.

Another notable trend is the resurgence of Art Deco-inspired earrings. Characterised by geometric shapes and symmetry, these designs evoke the glamour and sophistication of the 1920s. Renowned brands like Tiffany & Co. and Cartier have embraced this trend, offering remarkable Art Deco-style earrings that make for a thoughtful and fashionable gift.
Necklaces

Brands such as Monica Vinader and Boucheron offer necklaces that can be customised with initials or birthstones, making them an excellent choice for a personalized gift.
In a world that is increasingly yearning for a connection with nature, necklaces featuring motifs inspired by the natural world are all the rage too. Be it floral patterns, animal shapes, or representations of natural elements, nature-themed necklaces have captured the imagination both in Europe and the US. Bulgari’s Serpenti collection, inspired by the serpent, is a prime example of this trend. It offers a range of beautifully crafted pieces that bring a touch of nature’s beauty to the wearer.
Bracelets
Bracelets are versatile accessories that add a finishing touch to any outfit.

These bracelets not only make a visual impact but also exude a sense of urban sophistication. Brands like Gucci and Balenciaga are at the forefront of this trend, offering a range of designs that are both visually striking and a bold fashion statement.
Layering multiple bangle bracelets is another trend that continues to gain momentum. Women can mix different metals and textures to create a personalised style that adapts to various occasions. Chanel and Dior have designed sets of bangles that are meant to be stacked together, resulting in a chic and sophisticated look.
Rings
