Jewelery plays a big part in our style choices whether your a man or a woman, so both pay attention!
Here are a few tips on how to make sure your wearing the jewelery and the jewelery isn't wearing you.
Step 1 : Determining whether your a gold person or a silver person.
Its really quite simple to determine which suits you best, gold is a warm metal and of course suits warm skin tones and warm hair colours better, and like wise silver is a cool metal and suits cool skin tones and hair colours better.
If your don't know how to tell which you are the best way to realise it is to take a piece of both coloured metals in the form of a necklace or something hold them up to your face in natural light and look to see which glows next to your face and hair. Some people are lucky and can have whats called a neutral skin tone which means you can pull off both metals!
gold usually goes with peachy fair skin and olive skin tones and natural blondes, red heads and chestnut browns.
Silver usually goes with pale porcelain skin and black, ash blondes and cold brunettes.
Step 2 : Colours that go great with each metal.
When it comes to gold, gold goes great with neutral colours like camel, cream, mossy greens and browns but also with bright exotic colours like peach, orange, lime greens and aqua blues.
And..
With silver, jewel colours such as sapphire blue and emerald green go great with a great silver piece of statement jewelery, but also pastel colours set off silver jewelery just as nicely.
Step 3 : Picking a great statement piece.
When it comes to jewelery I'm a firm believer that a great statement necklace or earring etc, finishes off and accentuates a killer outfit.
BUT
There are a few tips I feel I should share.
When it comes to dresses with sweetheart necklines never wear a long necklace it detracts from the cut of the dress wear a short necklace, if the dress is simple try sprucing it up with a chunky wow factor necklace or if the dress is busy try pairing it down with a simple short chain and pendant.
When wearing a high collared t-shirt or dress go for long chunky chains, pearls and beads.
Pick one statement piece, NEVER overload an outfit by over accessorizing. Choose a chandelier earring, a over sized cuff or cocktail ring or just a jaw dropping necklace.
