Here are just a few tips to help get you started:
What are you wearing?
Your jewelry should complement your overall look and clothing. You can either start with the pieces of jewelry you want to showcase in your outfit, or you with the apparel you plan to wear. If you have your heart set on wearing , a gold chain necklace, you might want to opt for fashion trends like Athletic Prep, or the Little white dress. If on the other hand you are going to go Boho, or even the Stealth 90’s Basic looks, a pair of gold hoop earrings will go well.
A shimmering evening gown might look nice with a gold necklace or pendant with diamond accents. Go bolder with your gold jewelry when wearing more simple apparel as the contrast will go well.
Accessorize For the Occasion
When accessorizing for casual social settings feel free to experiment with your jewelry. Pair a bolder chain necklace with some layered bangles as it will be a playful and fun look. When at your workplace, you might consider, depending on your job, to air on the side of practicality. But those who work in roles where presentation is everything, should also opt for accessorizing that can make your stand out a little. Otherwise, smaller pendants that can be layered, or hoop earrings are perfect for everyone. A formal events typically call for more elevated pieces. Smaller profile looks may be more appropriate for these occasions to form a classy look. Perhaps a few of our textured gold popcorn pieces, could be the right choices this.
Does Size Matter?
The size of your jewelry matters in completing the your look. Larger link necklaces tend to draw more attention, as do bigger diameter hoop earrings. But make sure you let those bigger pieces stand out by keeping your apparel choices more tame and not mixing too many genres of jewelry in one outfit. Today yellow gold jewelry can be worn just as well during the daytime as it can be worn for a night out, so enjoy the freedom of wearing what you want when you want to! Stacking rings can also be fun to draw attention to your hands so consider an oversized ring in gold to make a bolder statement. And we all know people love to layer their bangles and bracelets, so feel free to really indulge on your wrist with a variety of pieces.
Layering similar items or combining different pieces into a single ensemble allows you to make a strong statement. Combine different lengths and widths of necklaces and bracelets to create depth in your look. Mix in some color by using pieces with sterling silver accents, being careful to maintain that theme with all of your bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. Do the same with gemstones, using pieces with the same accent stone to maintain uniformity.
