Jewelry with Stars and Moons: How to Wear the Celestial Trend
Jewelry with stars, little suns and moonstone is perfect for the dark months. It catches the light of candles and Christmas lights and gives a simple outfit just that bit of sparkle. In this guide you will read why the celestial trend is so big right now, how to wear stars and moons without it looking childish, and which combinations to give for Sinterklaas, Christmas and New Year's Eve.
Why celestial jewelry is so popular right now
Pinterest named "Extra Celestial" one of its trends for 2026, including 115 percent more searches for "opalescent", the sheen of mother-of-pearl and moonstone. In this year's jewelry trends, too, you keep seeing suns, moons and stars, often as a small detail rather than a big statement.
And it simply suits the season. December is all about lights: a star on the Christmas tree, candles on the table and fireworks on New Year's Eve. A few little stars in your ear naturally join in.
Stars and little suns
The Sterre earrings are ear climbers: they follow the line of your earlobe upwards, so one earring looks like a row of little stars. They come in gold tone and silver tone, both for € 25.00.
Prefer the sun to the stars? The Soley earrings (€ 27.50) have a smiling sun, cheerful without shouting. And on your wrist you wear the Helia bracelet (€ 27.50), a charm bracelet with little suns that is gold-tone and silver-tone at once.

Moonstone: the stone with the soft glow
Moonstone has a soft glow that seems to move as the light changes. That effect is called adularescence, and it is exactly why the stone belongs to the celestial trend: it is reminiscent of moonlight.
The Ella ring comes with white moonstone and with peach moonstone, a warm peach-colored variant. Both cost € 37.95 and are adjustable, so you do not need to know a ring size.
Which one suits your style?
Minimalist. Choose the Sterre in silver tone and wear it on its own, with a small stud in your other ear. Calm, but with a twinkle.
Warm and classic. An Ella ring with white moonstone on your middle finger and otherwise only smooth gold-tone jewelry. The stone does the work.
Cheerful and playful. Combine the Soley suns with the Helia bracelet. Two suns, and still not too much, because your ear and wrist each have one motif.
Festive. The Sterre in gold tone with a peach moonstone ring. Warm gold, soft glow, perfect for a dinner in December.
How to wear stars and moons
- One motif per spot. Stars in your ear, a little sun on your wrist. That keeps it playful without turning into a costume.
- Mix with plain gold. Combine a star with a simple ring or smooth hoops. The motif then stands out more.
- Ear climber plus a small stud. An ear climber in one ear and a small stud in the other gives a modern, asymmetric look.
- Silver for winter light. Silver tone looks cool and clear, lovely with grey, white and black. Gold is warmer with camel and burgundy.
- Festive without a glitter dress. With stars in your ear, a black sweater is festive enough for a Christmas drinks party.

What do stars and moons mean in jewelry?
For many people, stars stand for hope and direction, and the moon for calm and a new beginning. But you can also simply wear them because you like them.
What is moonstone?
Moonstone is a natural stone from the feldspar family. It is known for its soft, moving glow, which is called adularescence.
What is an ear climber?
An ear climber is an earring that runs up along the edge of your earlobe. You wear it in one piercing, but it looks as if you are wearing several earrings.
Do stars suit a grown-up look?
Definitely. Keep it to one motif and combine it with plain gold or silver. Then it looks refined rather than playful.
Can you shower with this jewelry?
Stainless steel is waterproof and nickel-free. A ring with a natural stone, such as Ella, is better taken off for showering and washing up, so the stone stays beautiful.
