Kick off the countdown in roaring ’20s style with the Great Gatsby Cocktail Ring in Emerald Silver. This showstopping beauty “captures the glamour and sophistication of the Roaring Twenties,” built on a gleaming 925 sterling silver band. Its lab-created emerald centrepiece – cut in a faceted rectangle – is framed by a halo of clear cubic zirconia that flashes with every movement. The slim band is studded with baguette-cut stones and additional CZs for extra sparkle. It's like wearing a little fireworks on your finger. Pair it with a velvet gown and matching emerald studs to really lean into that vintage glam. “You’ll be the envy of any room” – and the perfect holiday jewellery gift idea for someone who loves a slice of old Hollywood!

Statement earrings are a must for holiday fun, and these Feathered Leaf Drops make an entrance. Crafted from 925 sterling silver dipped in 18ct gold, each 7cm-long drop is layered with rich green cubic zirconia. “Just perfect to make a statement,” they deliver a festive twist on botanical glamour. Think hair piled on top of your head, a slinky off-shoulder velvet dress, and these dancing by your face. Large, bold earrings own the party – as one stylist quips, “Large, statement earrings are perfect for parties and special occasions. Match them with a bold lipstick for extra impact”. These leafy earrings catch the Christmas tree lights beautifully and give a shot of colour to winter whites. They’re an ideal pick for anyone who likes to stun – holiday edition.

Kissing under the mistletoe? The Forever Tied Bow Pendant Necklace is your new BFF. A sweet symbol of love and loyalty, this necklace is made of sterling silver luxuriously plated in 18ct gold. The bow motif is encrusted with baguette and pavé cubic zirconia so it twinkles from every angle. It’s the kind of classic, sentimental piece you’ll wear with a deep-V holiday dress or layered under a cashmere sweater. The tiny CZs add a hint of “dimension and brilliance”, giving the simple bow a lot of sparkle. Styling tip: pair it with drop earrings and a ponytail, so the bow can take centre stage. This necklace is Timeless (and with a capital T), perfect for a chic festive look or as a thoughtful gift tied with a red velvet ribbon.

A glittering tennis bracelet is the ultimate decoration for your wrist this Christmas. Our Simulated Diamond Tennis Bracelet in Gold is “exquisite”, featuring row upon row of brilliant-cut CZ stones that reflect light with every turn. Every shimmering simulant is set to maximize sparkle, so the effect is nothing short of dazzling. Dress it down by stacking over a cosy wool jumper’s cuff, or layer it with a watch on your holiday party night. Whether adding a “dazzling finish to your evening ensemble” or subtly spicing up daywear, this bracelet is a go-to glam piece. It’s sturdy enough for nightly celebrations but chic enough for year-round wear – a real jewellery gift that keeps giving.

Bloom into holiday spirit with the Flower Cocktail Ring in gold. This adjustable statement ring (its double band ensures a snug fit) features a big floral motif atop your finger. The petals are paved with sparkling sapphire-blue CZs on a rich 18ct-gold-plated sterling silver base. It’s “ideal for those who love statement jewellery with sparkle,” as Latelita notes, adding sophistication to any look. Imagine wearing it with a plum velvet dress or a silky blouse; the deep blue stones pick up the winter night sky and the party lights. The flower brings a touch of femininity to strong holiday glitz. Pair it with simple stud earrings so the ring gets full attention. It’s a joyful, eye-catching piece sure to brighten the season.

Feel the love with the Valentina Drop Earrings in warm ruby-red. These luxe gold-plated drops combine multiple lab-grown rubies and a sparkling CZ for maximum vibrancy. Each earring has two pear-shaped rubies and a rectangular-cut ruby, all set above a round-cut simulated diamond. The effect is glorious: a cascade of rich red and bright sparkle that will “make all your outfits shine”. Ruby’s deep hue symbolizes passion and love – perfect for festive champagne toasts – and they’re oversized enough to pop on a night out. Wear them with a sleek updo and a crimson lip for a boldly romantic look. Or contrast them against an emerald green dress for a truly festive palette. Either way, these earrings add a note of drama and shine, living up to their status as holiday show-stoppers.

Add a rainbow to your holiday outfit with the Florence Necklace. Delicate on the neck but dazzling up close, this fine gold chain is studded with “round cut gemstones, spaced evenly” around the front. The varied pinks, blues, greens and ambers catch and dance with light as you move. Wear it short like a choker, as designed, or unclip to layer longer. It’s inspired by the glitz of the Italian Riviera, so think sunlit cocktails and twinkling stars. This necklace is versatile – it plays nicely with everything from a party sheathe dress to a cosy turtleneck – making it a standout piece in a Christmas jewellery edit. Stack it with tiny gold chains or gemstone bracelets for an eye-catching layered look. The one-of-a-kind combo of stones keeps it playful and joyful, perfect for adding colour to winter grey days.

For the friend who loves huge bling, here’s a cuff to covet. This chunky bangle bracelet is topped with a bold 3.2cm flower motif encrusted in micro-pavé white CZ. It looks sleek and sculptural, yet feels organic – like wearing a garden on your wrist. The hook closure ensures it stays put through dinners, dancing, and holiday festivities. Latelita describes it as “stunning” and “perfect for all celebrations and black tie events”. Imagine sweeping your hand over a table draped in velvet: the flower will instantly catch candlelight. This piece is tailor-made for sleeveless or three-quarter sleeves – let it peek out. Pair it with the matching flower stud earrings or wear it solo for maximum impact. It’s an extravagant floral flourish that begs to be seen.

A dash of whimsy meets elegance in the Daffodil with Pearls Cocktail Ring. This regal gold ring is shaped like a blooming daffodil flower, with multi-coloured CZ petals (sapphire blue, yellow and clear) and three tiny white pearls tucked inside the trumpet. It’s a spring flower in full winter bloom – bright, happy and unexpected. According to Latelita, daffodils signify joy and new beginnings, fitting for the new year ahead. The pearls lend a nod to classic glamour. On your finger, the 4.4cm-wide flower is a statement in itself. Wear it to Christmas brunch with a flowy dress or spice up a cosy sweater by letting the ring do the talking. It’s guaranteed to “make you stand out from the crowd” – and give anyone on your gift list a lucky bit of spring magic in dark days.

Slide these classic drop earrings on for a pop of red radiance. The Alexandra Oval Drops feature a single lab-grown oval ruby on each earring, framed by a row of sparkling simulated diamonds along the front. They’re timeless but never boring – polished gold and vivid ruby is a match made in merry heaven. Rubies symbolize passion and love, so these earrings aren’t just pretty; they bring a meaning, too. Wear them day or night: a snowy sweater by day, an LBD at night – they’ll jazz up everything. According to Latelita, this pair is “perfect to add a touch of colour and sparkle to any outfit”, whether you’re suiting up for a party or brightening an everyday look. At 2.6cm long, they’re medium-sized and very wearable, ideal for the lady who likes a little pop of colour without going overboard.

Safeguard your style with an Evil Eye motif – now in full holiday sparkle. This petite gold pendant on a fine chain is dotted with tiny blue, white and gold zircons to create the famous eye shape. Handcrafted from sterling silver with 18ct gold plating, it’s “a touch of sparkle and glamour” in a dainty form. Wear it alone as a subtle lucky charm at your desk or party table, or layer it with longer necklaces for drama. The sliding chain lets you adjust it between 40–45cm, so it sits perfectly above a V-neck or just at collarbone. The Evil Eye is said to ward off negativity, so it’s both stylish and symbolic – a great present for any jewellery lover. And hey, even if you’re just after the sparkle, the multi-coloured zircons will catch every party light. This is one Christmas jewellery edit pick that’s as easy to wear as it is meaningful.

Last but certainly not least: the Candy Cocktail Ring, a huge dose of pink-glam joy. This domed, adjustable ring is set with lab-created pink tourmaline, morganite and amethyst gemstones for a rosy, candy-like glow. Think of it as the cocktail ring equivalent of a sugar rush – warm pinks trimmed with CZs on each side to amplify the shine. At 2.5cm tall, it has a nice presence on the finger (15.9g of pure fun). Wear it to your final festive bash of the year; it’s practically made for dancing and champagne toasts. Each stone even carries a sweet meaning – love, joy, peace – making it a truly special gift. With its princess-cut stones, it catches light from every angle, so you’ll sparkle whether you’re popping bubbly at midnight or gingerbread-making by lamplight. In short, this ring is a showstopper to wrap up our 12 Days – the perfect final flourish to a season of sparkle.

Each of these Latelita festive favourites has its moment in our “12 Days of Sparkle.” From cocktail parties to cosy gatherings, they add that luxe, joyful touch we all crave at Christmastime.
