How to Accessorize With Jewelry
Accessories are important to making any outfit look great! Jewelry is one of the most important parts of accessorizing. Read on to find out a few simple tricks and tips to help any woman or girl!
[edit] Steps
- Find the precious metal that matches you. Brunettes, redheads and grays should use silver jewelry, while blonds look best in gold. Women/girls with black hair can use either. However, if you absolutely love gold, and you're a brunette, redhead, or gray, (or if you're a blonde and love silver), don't hold back! Also, if you are a Brunette, for example, but suit warm colors better, you will actually suit gold more.

- Match jewelry to your clothing. Wear ruby earrings with a red top, or a sapphire-accented necklace with your favorite blue dress. Black clothing can be worn with any color of jewelry.
- Match jewelry with other jewelry. A matching bracelet-and-earrings set or two similar necklaces looks great.
[edit] Tips
- Black makes bright colored stones pop!
- Wedding rings don’t have to match other metals in your jewelry.
- Wear necklaces 3”-4” below your neckline.
- Wear larger earrings for a "smaller" appearance.
- Use proper sizes of jewelry to match your body shape. Petite women will often be overwhelmed by a piece of jewelry that looks delicate on larger women. *Wear pins high on your shoulder.
- Keep textures the same - antique with antique, shiny with shiny etc.
- Wearing 3 bracelets on one arm is an attractive option.
- Wear a bracelet with your watch.
- Long necklaces create vertical lines, thus making you appear taller and more slender.
- Jewelry is the most cost-effective accessory you can own & changes the look of each outfit.
- Wear jewelry to add color. For example if you're wearing an all black and white outift, a pink necklace, and/or bracelet, and/or watch, would look beautiful.
[edit] Warnings
- Wearing very heavy earrings causes your ears lobes to drag and even tear! This gets worse with age and is not pretty. Torn earlobes generally cannot be fixed.
- Don't wear too much jewelry.
- Wearing too much jewelry will make seem "Flashy"
- Wearing too much jewelry can make you a target for stealing crimes.
