Amanda’s Style File: New Year, New Jewels 

Set the tone for 2025 and commemorate the year gone by with glamorous jewelry fit for celebration.

Jemma Wynne Connexion Earrings
The “Connexion” earrings by Jemma Wynne are one of the 11 pieces in Amanda’s Style File perfect to bring in the new year.
Ringing in the new year is a time of celebration. It is a time of optimism. It is a time of reflection, goal setting, and soul searching. Ringing in a new year gives many a feeling of promise. 

There is no better way to ring in a new year than with new jewels. The right jewelry can perfectly define an outfit, a mood, and an outlook of the year. More importantly, jewelry makes the wearer feel good in their skin. That is reason to celebrate.

To properly set the tone, inspiration for this Amanda’s Style File is being pulled from qualities of New Year’s Eve—champagne, fireworks, cocktails, and glitz and glamour.

If jewelry can set the tone, these pieces will do just that.

Happy 2025!
