Halloween Costume Accessories: Jewelry for Iconic Looks

Make your costume memorable with the right jewelry

Halloween is about transformation — and the simplest way to make a costume feel finished is with jewelry that understands the character. Below you’ll find easy rules for scale, metal tone and necklines plus ready-to-wear NOGU picks that keep your look comfortable and authentic all night.

Quick pairing rules: neckline, scale, and era

Match the size of the jewelry to the costume’s silhouette: delicate pieces for vintage looks, bold cuffs and statement necklaces for heroic or glamorous characters. For period styles, keep metals consistent — warm gold tones for 1930s glamour, cool silver for modern or futuristic looks.

Audrey Hepburn — timeless and minimal

For Audrey’s classic little black dress, keep jewelry refined: a single strand of pearls or a slim, high-shine choker. Try our sterling silver necklaces collection to find sleek, hypoallergenic pieces that read elegant on camera and are comfortable to wear.

Wonder Woman — strong lines, statement metal

Wonder Woman reads best with bold, structured jewelry. Look for wide cuffs, layered chains, or a confident statement necklace that echoes armor. Our Classic Contrast 4-piece gift set includes mixed textures (wheat chain choker, gemstone wrap and studs) that can be scaled into a heroic look without weighing you down.

Can I wear costume jewelry all night without irritating my skin?

Short answer: yes, if you choose well. NOGU uses hypoallergenic .925 sterling silver on many items and stainless steel bases on stretch wraps, which minimizes reactions. For full evenings, keep delicate pieces in the included polishing pouch between wears and wipe them with a soft cloth after use to remove any makeup or sweat.

Catwoman — keep it sleek and close to the neck

Catwoman’s silhouette favors tight chokers and slim, reflective pieces. A slim Wheat Chain choker or a glass cat-eye wrap that can be worn as a choker gives the right mischievous shine. See our Alice Blue Cheshire Glass Cat Eye Wrap for a playful, light-catching option that won’t snag costumes.

How do I pick the right necklace for my costume neckline?

Match the drop of the necklace to the neckline: crew or boat necks pair with short collars or chokers; V-necks pair with pendants that follow the V. If your costume has heavy detail around the collar, choose a smaller, matte piece so the jewelry complements rather than competes.

Styling seven iconic costumes — quick guide
