Hi everyone,
When you think about style, clothing is the first thing that probably pops into your mind. While clothing certainly plays a huge role in creating a sense of style, it’s not the only factor. Looking stylish is about so much more than the clothes you wear, what you wear them with is also crucial. Accessories are often a finishing touch that brings an entire outfit together and makes it really pop. Your jewelry choices are a particularly important element of your style. The jewelry you wear allows you to express your personality and truly express who you are. So, when it comes to shopping for jewelry, it’s essential that you choose your pieces carefully. If you’re planning to update your jewelry collection, here are some tips to help you get started:
Consider When You Will Wear the Piece
When choosing jewelry, thinking about where you wear it is an important consideration. This will influence several factors. For starters, if you’re buying a piece of jewelry that you’re going to wear every day, you first need to think about practicality. Large or intricately designed pieces of jewelry can easily become damaged during your day, for example whe doing chores, gardening, etc. If you plan to wear the jewelry when exercising, for example when swimming or during sweaty workouts, you need to be sure that the metal won’t tarnish or become discolored when in contact with moisture.
Think About Your Existing Pieces
Before you introduce another piece of jewelry into your collection, it’s important to first think about the other items you already wear and own. If you hope to wear the new pieces alongside your existing jewelry, you need to be sure they will work well together. The metal used for the jewelry is a key consideration here. If the rest of the jewelry you wear is gold, buying a silver piece of jewelry may not work well with your other items, and vice versa.
Choosing a different metal for your new pieces may mean you can’t wear them with your existing pieces, but it does provide the perfect excuse to buy more pieces to coordinate with them.
Introduce Color
Purchasing and wearing new jewelry is an excellent way to refresh your look. But if you want to make a statement with your new pieces, introducing more color to your jewelry collection is an excellent way to do this. There’s a long history of colorful stones, such as amber in fashion, and for good reason. Rich-colored stones, such as amber, are an excellent way to add a vibrant splash of color to every outfit, and make beautiful statement jewelry pieces if you’re hoping to create a bold look. If you hope to wear your new piece often, choose a colored stone that will work best with the majority of your outfits.
As you can see, there are a few key considerations when updating your jewelry collection. Choosing the perfect piece will provide you with an accessory you’ll wear for years to come.
