Accessorize with the right pieces. Wear jewelry that suits your outfits. Whether you are on your way to a dinner orheading to the office, the right touches can complete your look. If you’re thinking about adding jewelry to your collection, here’s what you need to know.
Know the Era
If you love antique jewelry, study the different eras. Consider the different characteristics of jewels for every period. That will help you figure out which options are authentic. It can help you pick out fake pieces from collections. That way, you won’t have to worry that you might be paying money for fakes.
Start with the Scale
Whether you’re buying a platinum bracelet or a gold one, you should consider the size of the jewels. If they’re too small,they won’t add anything to your look and might only look lost or drowned when matched with the rest of your outfit. If they’re too big for you, the jewelry will look clunky, inelegant, and at odds with what you’re wearing.
Consider the Location
Do you want something simple and classy? That can work if you’re going to work or a business meeting. If you’re going to a party, do you want something bold and stylish to help you stand out from the crowd? If you’re out for the day, what about a simple bracelet and pretty earrings that you can match with your shirt and jeans?Think about that when you shop for jewelry sets and pieces. Match the jewelry to where you plan to go for the day.
Play with Colors
Don’t forget to shop for jewelry with an eye for color. Do you have a lot of green outfits? How about choosing pieces with emeralds for a green gown? It doesn’t have to match your entire outfit, though. Sometimes, a contrast can be just as powerfully, visually. Look for colors that you can use as accents. That’s another way to use jewelry to add another dimension to your look. In addition, you could wear jewelry that brings out the color of your eyes. A necklace that matches the exact shade of your eyes should look sensational with your OOTD or outfit for the day.
Think About Your Style
Buying jewelry is more than just paying attention to the latest trends. It can be a deeply personal choice. You’ll want to look for pieces that have profound meaning to you. You’ll want to choose sets or items that reflect your style. Don’t just buy something because it’s popular or looks good. Does it express who you are? Does it look like you? It might be expensive but if it doesn’t express your personality, it’s only a piece of jewelry, one that doesn’t tell people a lot about who you are. That could be a missed opportunity, depending on who you are.
Look at Outfit Necklines
Don’t forget to check the neckline of your clothes. A V-shaped pendant will look great on V-shaped necklines. If you have a square neck, a petite pendant is a better option for you. Wear that with a slim chain.
