Practical and Chic Jewelry Styling Hacks We Swear By

1. Choose A Focal Point For Your Look

Consider what you want as your focal point in jewelry styling. Ask yourself: Where do you want everyone’s gaze to be directed when you’re all dressed up for a special event? For instance, do you want to sport a bold necklace and draw all attention to your neck area? Then, pair it with more subtle rings and earrings. Or, you might even consider leaving them out altogether and letting all eyes be on your necklace. Similarly, if you want to draw attention to your hands, coordinated rings and bracelets will do the trick.

2. Get The Basics Of Layering And Stacking Right

Another jewelry styling hack is to wear multiple pieces together (yes, it’s your chance to mix and match all your favs from your jewel box).

You can layer necklaces and chains of varying lengths for a super trendy look. And if you’re going for that edgy yet romantic vibe, try pairing our ruby heart pendant with a diamond tennis choker and long station necklace. Don’t forget to create chic gemstone ring and bracelet stacks for some extra color and sparkle.

Here’s a quick tip. If you’re one of those watch persons, feel free to jazz it up by adding it to your bracelet stack (a watch and bracelet on the same wrist does have a stylish ring to it).

3. Master The Art Of Mixing Metals

If you thought gemstones were the only way to experiment with colors, think again. You can do it with metals too. Mixing metals lends any outfit a unique, edgy look. So, pick different pieces in different metals like gold and silver bracelets and rings or simply select some two-tone gold jewelry pieces.

4. Invest In Versatile Jewelry Pieces

Here’s a jewelry hack to remember when you’re on the hunt for new sparklers. Buy versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down… jewels that are ideal for both casual and formal occasions. We’re talking studs, solitaire rings, hoop earrings and more.

Love the amethyst jewelry our it-girl is wearing here? Guess what, while it looks great with party outfits, it can just as easily perk up your basic white top and blue jeans. Go ahead, add it to your cart.

5. Let A Single Statement Piece Shine

This one’s a jewelry styling hack 101 – avoid wearing multiple statement pieces. The key is to turn heads without being OTT. So, pick one statement piece and pair it with smaller pieces if needed.

Picture this: you’re flaunting our bold, statement-worthy diamond curb chain link bracelet but don’t want to leave your fingers bare. In that case, we’d recommend that you pair the bracelet with a chic yet subtle ring instead of a large cocktail ring.

6. Consider Your Earrings And Face Shape. And Hairstyle!

Our jewelry style tips and tricks would be incomplete without helping you pick the right earrings.

The key here is to choose earrings according to your face shape and hairstyle. For an oval face, teardrop earrings are a great choice. But if you have a round face, choose drop and dangle earrings instead.

Have a square face and want to highlight that gorgeous jawline? A pair of large round hoops will do just that. And if you’re ever in doubt, simply throw on a pair of studs because studs go with everything!

When it comes to hairstyles and earrings, remember to choose earrings that won’t get lost in your hairdo. Say, you feel like flaunting a pair of heart-shaped ruby studs on a day you really want to harp on the heart-everything trend. Then, an updo or a messy bun would look just perfect. Love your luscious locks and want to leave them open? Then, long dangle and drop earrings will certainly stand out.

A quick tip before we move on to our next hack. Don’t forget to add some huggie hoops to your eardrobe. Because they suit just about any outfit (yep, from your favorite casual tee to your stunning LBD). They’re also perfect for those desk-to-dinner looks. And if you’re someone with multiple earrings, let us tell you that huggie hoops will also complement any earring stack.

7. Wear Necklaces That Complement Your Neckline

Get ready because we’re letting you in on a major insider jewelry styling tip.

Stylists always recommend choosing necklaces and pendants that match the neckline of your outfit because it accentuates your look as well as your neckpiece.

Wondering what to pair with your crew-neck top or scoop-neck dress? Chokers and tennis necklaces are hands-down winners. For a deep V-neck or sweetheart neckline, the trick is to mimic the cut of the outfit. So, choose long, sleek pendants or layered necklaces. And if you’re looking for a way to style that classic off-shoulder gown, you can draw attention to your bare neckline with our artistic nature-inspired morganite and diamond necklace.

8. Don’t Be A Slave To Trends

We get that you love keeping up with the latest trends. TBH, we do too. But, in turn, don’t forget to hold on to (and flaunt) a few personalized pieces that not only make you stand out but also feel sentimental and close to your heart.

If you don’t already own a personalized piece, do check out our birthstone and zodiac jewelry to find a stunner for yourself. This emerald Taurus constellation medallion pendant, for instance, will work like a charm for a Taurean.

9.  Know When To Stop

Sometimes too much is, well, too much. Yea, you read that right!

Although maximalist styles have made a comeback, IRL, you don’t want to go overboard. So, if you’re wearing a bold pair of statement earrings, then perhaps your necklace could be more subtle (or skip it completely). On the other hand, a bold pair of earrings with a matching but small pendant necklace can sometimes work beautifully. The key is to find the right balance.

10. Don’t Forget To Make The Most Out Of Other Accessories

Remember jewelry styling also works with other accessories in your closet.

Going for that chic look? Pair solitaire studs with your silk scarf and oversized sunglasses. Here’s another one – a purse with a matching cocktail ring is also sure to turn heads. Better yet, carry a purse in the exact color as your outfit, like Autumn Rowe.

11. Bring Your Pearls Out For Everyday Wear

Let’s face it: Pearls are cool, contemporary and back in fashion. So whether you plan to make work days a bit less bleurgh with relaxed tailoring and layered pearls or make a slouchy knit and jeans outfit look Très chic with pearl and gold studs, we will not stop you. ‘Cause, we know you’ll be grabbing eyeballs wherever you go! *wink*
