When it comes to matching your necklace with a pair of earrings, a ring and a bracelet, the mission needs fine taste and some golden rules. At the end of the day, you want to complement your outfit and adorn it, not overcharge it.
The first step is to take your look into consideration. If you are wearing a printed top, opt for a very simple necklace and pair of earrings, while you should skip the necklace if your top is adorned with jewels and choose simple earrings. The only outfit that permits you to wear a statement necklace is a mono-toned one.
Always try to highlight the main jewelry piece you are wearing, which means that if you choose a statement necklace, opt for a pair of stud earrings set with a stone that is in line with the gems that adorn your necklace, a simple ring and a thin bracelet. On another note, if you are wearing big chandelier earrings, you can skip the necklace and highlight your masterpieces by wearing a simple ring and a thin bracelet. Your watch and bracelet can also be the focus of your jewelry set. In this case, opt for an extremely simple ring worn on the other hand, a simple necklace and subtle stud earrings. Finally, if your ring is the piece you want to highlight, skip the bracelet and wear it on a bare hand – not with the watch – all the while taking a less sophisticated turn on your necklace and earrings.
As for how to match them in style, here’s what you need to know. Earrings set with one gem are a passe-partout, because they only appear as a dazzling dot on your ear. If you’re picky about them, try to find the same stone-cut found in your centerpiece. Following the theme of your showpiece, whether it was the necklace, the earrings, the ring or the bracelet, is also a good option. For example, a nature-inspired centerpiece would go perfectly well with other pieces that follow the same theme.
Last but not least, the gold tone that you choose for one piece is not necessarily the one that the other pieces should be made of. One of the latest trends in the jewelry world is to mix and match different hues of gold and in this case, your choices include yellow, white and pink.
