Rules for Jewelry

Jewelry Advice

The choice of accessories is a very personal affair and it's very important that you feel comfortable and in harmony with what you wear. However, jewelry is a very special thing that requires thorough

consideration and good taste. Here is some good advice on how to make the most of the jewelry to complete your overall look.

Jewelry Rules for Women
1. Remember "one-statement-at-a-time" rule. It means that you should balance your jewelry items. For example, a dramatic necklace requires modest earrings and vice versa. Similarly, if you don’t want to look like a Christmas tree, avoid wearing more than one massive and bold ring at a time. The combination of 2 or 3 discreet rings is ok within the good-taste limits. The same is true for bracelets, but then do not wear a necklace.

Jewelry sets are traditional gifts. They usually include matching necklace, earrings, a bracelet and a ring. Whatever you do, please do not wear them all at once. A necklace is good together with a ring, and earrings and bracelet make a fabulous match. You can compliment them with a wedding ring.

2. Face shape and hairstyle have an influence on what to wear. For instance, massive earrings look out of place if you have a small face with fine features or short-cut hair. Hair worn piled up is a fabulous opportunity to wear long drop or dangly earrings.

3. Consider your age when choosing the stones and metals that can work best for you. The good options for a young girl are some strings of pearls, corals, turquoise (i.e. set in silver or gold). More mature ladies are free to wear all possible precious stones.

As to the metals, it’s up to you what you choose taking your taste, hair and eye-color into account. But on the whole, silver jewelry is considered to be an every-day thing, not appropriate for formal and special occasions. You can combine silver and gold jewelry, but think thoroughly over the combination. For example, silver and gold chains can liven a dark dress up. However, never combine a silver necklace with a gold bracelet.

4. Jewelry must NEVER be worn over your cloths, the obvious exception being a brooch. Ladies, it is a sin to wear a necklace over a turtleneck..!!
