STYLING TIPS FOR JEWELRY

1. CREATE LAYERS WITH RINGS, BRACELETS, AND NECKLACES

First and foremost, wearing jewelry should be a fun experience, so experimenting is always encouraged. For example, you can try layering necklaces of different lengths to achieve a unique look. 

 You can compliment this look with rings and bracelets. Layering is especially helpful with simple outfits. Instead of having a boring style, layered jewelry will help you achieve a cohesive look that makes you stand out. 

 

 

2. HOW TO MIX METALS

Many fear mixing metals, so they only wear silver or gold pieces. However, mixing metals may help you find new combinations that better represent your style. There is no rule stating that mixing metals is prohibited.  

In fact, many of our best-selling pieces are made with a mix of metals. The contrasts in colors and tones are sure to catch anyone's eye. You can also wear silver and gold rings across your fingers. Also, try layering different metal necklaces or bracelets.

 

  

3. HOW TO ACCESSORIZE TO COMPLIMENT THE OUTFIT

If you have a specific outfit that you plan to wear to an event, it is wise to match jewelry that compliments it. For instance, if you like wearing bold and colorful outfits, it is best to pair them with smaller jewelry so that they don't clash.
 However, with simpler outfits, bolder and bigger pieces such as statement jewelry help elevate them significantly. Bold jewelry brings boring outfits to life.
 
4. CHOOSE THE FOCAL POINT FOR YOUR JEWELRY

If you want to direct the gaze to a focal point with your outfit, then it is best to use jewelry to create the visual focus. If you want to bring focus to your rings, pair them with simple bracelets that will not deter attention away from the rings. It is good to choose some bold statement rings.

Nonetheless, if you want your necklace to be the focal point, pair it with simple earrings, and either add simple bands or no rings at all. 

 

 

5. MATCH YOUR NECKLACE TO YOUR NECKLINE

Matching your necklace with your neckline helps create a cohesive and well-put-together look. If you are wearing a V-neck outfit, matching it with a pendant necklace in the V creates an incredible visual.  

But for high-necked and crew-necked tops, it is best to go for longer necklaces that you can layer. And for a scoop and rounded neckline, choose a rounded necklace.

 

 

6. CONSIDER YOUR SENTIMENTAL JEWELRY

Most people own a piece or two when it comes to sentimental jewelry. Even if you wear this piece every day, if it clashes with your outfit, you should consider leaving it at home for the day. 

Yet, if you have difficulty not wearing the piece, consider planning your outfit and the rest of your jewelry around it. If the sentimental piece is a longer necklace that you can hide beneath your outfit, you can wear whatever combination you want.

 

 

These are some of the best jewelry tips and tricks for styling. If you want to look your best at all times and have your jewelry pieces in pristine condition, follow our advice.  

And most important of all, remember to experiment with your combinations. After all, wearing jewelry should be fun. You can check our collections for your bold combinations!
