How to Choose the Correct Jewellery for Your Outfits

Whetherit’s for work or play, all outfits benefit from one or two pieces of jewellery. Jewellery pulls together an ensemble and gives you a polished finish.


Whilst it’s fun to be creative and experiment with your own style, there are a few basic guidelines you should follow. As you know, contemporary women’s jewellery brands create such enchanting pieces that it can be overwhelming trying to decide what to wear!

If you want to accessorise like a true fashionista, check out our top style tips.

Accessorise as per the occasion

What you wear to a formal occasion, the office or a casual weekend activity is likely to differ considerably. The same should apply to your accessories. Certain pieces, like precious gemstones, are best saved for smarter events. Whereas, simpler pieces may form part of your daily collection. And naturally, some jewellery items work for anything! It’s useful to invest in some staple pieces such as a gold pendant necklace with a semi-precious stone which suits most occasions.

Be faithful to one colour palette

 
For a truly chic style, avoid blending too many colours. Once you’ve decided on your outfit, consider which pieces in your collection suit that colour scheme. Similarly, don’t mix up lots of gemstones of varying hues. Always try to retain the same tone of metal throughout your outfit. This means pairing gold earrings with a necklace of the same hue.

Accommodate your skin tone




We all have a skin tone that is defined as either cool, warm or neutral. When choosing clothes, you are likely to pick those that flatter your tone. The same approach applies to jewellery as well. As a general rule of thumb; cool tones suit purples, blues and greens. Meanwhile, warm hues suit autumnal shades like orange, amber and red. Lucky neutral skin tones suit all colours! Boutiques such as Jewel Tree London carry a selection of gemstones to accommodate all skin tones.

Pay attention to necklines

When it comes to necklaces, don’t forget to take your neckline into account. A strapless gown is best suited to a collar or choker style. Meanwhile, a high neck such as a turtleneck will look elegant with a lariat or opera necklace. Nestle a princess or matinee-length gold pendant necklace within a v-neck.

Choose one focal piece


Choose one piece of jewellery that you want to serve as a centrepiece to your accessories look. That might be a head-turning pair of gold earrings or a statement ring. But steer clear of donning several large pieces, this can overpower your ensemble.

Avoid Mixing Up Decades


Whilst it’s not always necessary to wear matching sets of jewellery, it is best to avoid mixing up different styles. Team modern, geometric pieces with comparable items. If you want to go vintage, choose one era or decade and stick to it - whether that’s the roaring 20s or kitsch 50s. That being said, if you do like to wear coordinating pieces, the Jewel Tree London offers several fabulous collections for you to choose from!
