Choosing The Perfect Jewelry Set
Jewelry is the perfect finish to a beautiful outfit, it can lift an old outfit from old and boring to new and chic. Knowing how to pick out the right jewelry set can be daunting if you feel that you don’t know much about fashion.
The task of picking out the right jewelry set becomes harder when you are shopping for someone else. The pressure is on to pick something nice that will suit certain occasions. Here are some tips to help with picking out the right accessories.
The Occasion
When you are selecting a piece of jewelry you need to first ask yourself what the occasion is. If you want something that will complement your work outfits then steer away from anything too flashy. There’s nothing worse than wearing something that clashes with your outfit while you give a presentation or sit down for an interview.
A subtle jewelry set is best for work. You don’t have to be boring, just keep things smaller in proportion and simpler. If you like chunk pieces and bold colors then keep it simple. A necklace of chunky beads in a strong color should be paired with smaller earrings that match.
Simple pendants are better for the workplace. Avoid earrings that are too dangly, reserve sparkly pieces for the evening when you’re about to hit the town. Silver or white gold is ideal for any conservative office. Gold can look outdated so avoid jewelry sets that have a lot of gold.
If you’re going to a party you can let loose and choose a jewelry set that has more color and sparkle. Chokers are great for parties, if you are wearing something low cut or strapless then wear a choker to draw attention to your neckline.
A costume jewelry set is a fun way to dress up casual wear. Your jeans and tank top can be spiced up with a long chain with interesting pendants. Or add a big oversized charm bracelet to go with a floaty sundress.
If you want something that is going to last a long time then look for a designer jewelry set. Not only will a designer jewelry set last longer than something you pick up at the mall but it will also go with many things.
The traditional lines and feel of a designer piece will probably match a lot of your outfits and will also go with the changing seasons of fashion. On the other hand you can just keep buying cheaper pieces that you can get rid off when they go out of style. This way you save money and get to experiment with different types of jewelry sets.
