What to Wear to a Halloween Party: Jewelry to Match Your Costume Vibe

Match your jewelry to five easy Halloween vibes

Halloween is a chance to play — but jewelry should make your costume, not fight it. Below are five simple looks and the pieces that finish them without stealing the show.

1. Subtle Witchy

Think matte black dress, smoky eye, and long lines. Choose a single statement ring or a pair of our our hypoallergenic Aquamarine Mermaid Glass studs for a touch of magic.

2. Glam Vintage

Channel old Hollywood: satin, red lips, and sculpted waves. Layer delicate chains and a single pendant—our rainbow white knotted necklace works beautifully as a playful vintage nod.

3. Cute & Playful

For candy-core or toy-inspired costumes, pick colorful beaded bracelets and matching studs. Keep metals light and playful.

4. Gothic Romantic

Velvet or lace deserves darker, more ornate pieces — antique-effect necklaces, charm rings, and statement drop earrings.

5. Minimal Scare

Going as a ghost or minimalist scare? Let your makeup do the work and choose tiny studs or a thin chain to keep things ethereal.

How do I choose jewelry that complements a Halloween costume without overdoing it?

Start with your costume’s mood and decide whether you want jewelry to anchor the look or whisper alongside it. If your outfit is busy, pick one focal jewelry piece — a bold ring or a single pair of earrings. Match metal tones to your outfit’s colors for a polished feel. If you’re using everyday pieces as swap-ins, aim for balance: one statement, one subtle accent.

What jewelry is best for sensitive ears during costume parties?

If you have sensitive skin, choose hypoallergenic materials like .925 sterling silver, gold vermeil, or surgical steel. Nogu uses .925 sterling silver on many studs and drops, and we back our pieces with a Lifetime Warranty for quality you can trust.

Want an easy-to-wear option? Studs — like the Aquamarine Mermaid Glass — are secure and comfortable for long nights.
