Jewelry is the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. A simple necklace can add elegance to a classic look. Chunky earrings can bring the attention up to your face. Jewelry acts both as the icing on top and as ways you can direct the eye to features you want. Chokers draw the eye to the collarbone, stud earrings to the neck, and facial piercings to, for example, your dimples or your nose.
Jewelry completes any outfit, but not all jewelry is made equal. If you haven’t yet begun to build your essential collection of fine jewelry, use this guide to get it right:
The Classic Stud Earring
First up is an absolute classic that goes with everyone’s style. It’s the classic stud, and you can choose the stud based on your favorite color,
Pearl
Pearl earrings are classic and timeless, and best suited for those who want to add feminine elegance to their look. Not only are they classic, but they can also come in a variety of shapes and colors, especially if you opt for natural pearls as opposed to freshwater grown pearls.
Gold
Gold goes with everything. Get a good enough quality item, and it will never tarnish. It is an essential staple and everyday piece that will work well with everyone’s personal style.
Diamond
Diamond studs are the epitome of elegance and class, though they are certainly not the most accessible. CZ diamonds are your next best bet if you cannot afford the real thing.
Hoop Earrings
Everyone should have hoop earrings. If you don’t like big dangling items, smaller hoops are well-suited to your sense of style and comfort. There are designs, sizes, and lengths to suit everyone, making them an essential staple you should invest in.
The Everyday Bracelet
The everyday bracelet is something that is comfortable to wear every day (so it doesn’t chafe your wrist and suits your sense of style). As it is in such a sensitive area, you won’t want to skimp on quality. Thankfully, you can get the best of the best for a great price by shopping for second-hand items on sites like Fjewellery.co.uk.
The Staple Pendant
A pendant necklace is a staple that suits everyone, though you will need to work out which length and thickness of chain suits you best. You want your pendant necklace to be able to be worn day after day and look great with absolutely everything you wear, so it needs to be a color (gold or silver) that works best with your skin tone and suits your personal sense of style.
Layering Necklaces
Your pendant necklace is your first layering necklace. Fill out your collection with pieces that complement that necklace in different lengths and styles. The length variance is the most important, as it is key to ensuring your layers stand out and look beautiful. The best part about layering necklaces is that they can be added to or redacted depending on whether you want a classic look or a statement necklace.
