Three Stylish Canadians Share Their Most Radiant Accessorizing Tips

Accessorizing shines brightest at this time of year—but is there a secret to crafting the perfect winter rotation? From their beloved jewellery must-haves to the pieces they’re currently obsessed with, these three fashion-forward Canadians are offering up their best tips for allowing their accessories to steal the show.

Nada Bernaudo, Fashion Stylist and Content Creator

Go-to jewellery: “I’m loyal to my rotation of classic fine jewellery, from my half-carat diamond studs to my two-tone Rolex. When I was younger and my friends were spending money on partying, I was investing in my collection.”

Accessorizing approach: “Less is more. I like my jewellery to enhance my whole look, not overpower it. When I wear a bold statement piece, I minimize the rest of my jewellery slightly to create a sense of balance. Having said that, some days call for being extra.”

Currently coveting: “One of my greatest pleasures is shopping for one-of-a-kind jewellery. I love the look of this 14-karat-white-gold rolo link chain, which I would wear alone or in a stack. It comes from a pre-loved fine-jewellery brand based in Vancouver.”

Luna Dubois, Drag Queen, Makeup Artist and Entertainer

Go-to jewellery: “Most of my everyday pieces are from the Toronto boutique Vitaly. You’ll usually find me in chunky silver necklaces, earcuffs and stacked rings. But when I’m styling drag looks, I’m not married to silver. It’s all about what makes the outfit gag-worthy, even if that means mixing metals.”

Accessorizing approach: “It depends entirely on the outfit. If the vibe is maximalist, I’ll layer meticulously. But sometimes the look only needs one standout piece. Overall, I gravitate toward bold designs; I like choosing pieces that might be intimidating to the average person.”

Currently coveting: “I’m dying to get my hands on Vitaly’s capsule collection with artist Mei Pang (@meicrosoft). I love how it fuses Mei’s visual identity with Vitaly’s architectural design language. Each piece embodies strength, intimacy and fearless self-expression—all qualities that resonate with me.”

Samantha Marie Borges, Digital Creator and Model

Go-to jewellery: “I keep it simple but intentional. I wear low-maintenance earrings that I can sleep in—this way, I never have to worry about forgetting them!—and I like to mix metals in my double piercings. It creates a cohesive everyday look that doesn’t feel overdone.”

Accessorizing approach: “Like my style, it’s always evolving. I draw a lot of inspiration from my travels and the shifting seasons, so my jewellery depends on what feels right in the moment. In colder months, I find heavy outfit layers can look overwhelming when they’re paired with chunky pieces, so minimal accessories feel cleaner.”

Currently coveting: “I recently discovered Melbourne-based jewellery designer Anna Rossi, and I fell in love with her Agnes Pendant Necklace. It’s sculptural, subtle and perfect for stacking or wearing alone.”
