Jewellery to wear on a first date

Deciding exactly what to wear on a first date can be as daunting as the date itself. And, whilst mulling over which shirt goes with what shoes, don’t forget to factor jewellery into the mix! First date jewellery is a golden opportunity to highlight your unique personality quirks. Fortunately, boutique jewellery brands in London have plenty of stylish choices available if you need to refresh your collection. But first, read our guide to the best jewellery to wear on a first date.

Choose jewellery that suits the venue


Your outfit for an evening date at a gourmet restaurant is going to be pretty different from that you’d wear for a morning latte. For that evening three-course meal, you could wear something more precious which you wouldn’t usually wear during the day. You will spend a lot of time making eye contact, so choose a pair of unique silver earrings that will make your eyes shine across the table! If your date venue is more casual, such as a coffee shop or stroll through the park, opt for everyday jewellery such as a rose gold bracelet with pretty charms.

Strive for balance



On a first date, you want the attention to be on you. Wearing too many pieces of jewellery may prove to be distracting. It might also give the impression that you’re a little scatty! If you opt for a gold statement ring, leave your wrists bare but choose a subtle bar necklace in the same shade of gold. Likewise, if you opt for a choker - this is the time to keep your earrings simple. Try not to mix up your colours too much and keep jewellery within the same family. That means no mixing

Accentuate your best features

If you have a slender neck, wear a gold bar necklacewith a striking jewel in its grasp. Extra points if you choose a stone the same colour as your eyes! If you are blessed with the fingers of a pianist, stacked gold rings will enhance their natural beauty. An elfin-shaped face will look radiant with a delicate pair of drop earrings.

Look approachable


Nobody wants to look intimidating on a first date. You want to appear self-assured but approachable. Bright colours will communicate that you are bubbly and confident, but rather than wearing every colour under the sun, choose a focus colour and let that shape your look. Gold always suggests class, and for a first date,rose goldhues evoke a special warmth. Clasp a chic rose gold bracelet around your wrist - you’ll be holding hands before you know it!

Be yourself

 At the end of the day, you want your jewellery to be seen as an extension of your personality. Wear jewellery that you feel comfortable with - perhaps something with sentimental value that can become a talking point on your date. If the date goes swimmingly, then you have the perfect excuse to pick up a new piece of jewellery from your favourite London brand! Good luck.
