Embellished, opulent jewellery is an eveningwear essential at this time of year so take inspiration from the A-list and adorn yourself with dazzling statement necklaces. Whether you channel Olivia’s glamorous, ladylike style or something more edgy like Florence and Elisa, they’re the perfect accessory for adding a dash of sparkle to winter’s party wardrobe. To wear simply contrast with black or go for a more daring look by layering with sequins and lace.
