Jewellery Styling

Jewellery is more than just an accessory; it’s a reflection of your personality style and the occasion you’re celebrating. Whether you’re attending a formal event, heading to the office or going out for a casual gathering, the right jewellery can elevate your outfit and make a lasting impression. In this guide we’ll explore how to style your jewellery for every occasion, helping you to strike the perfect balance between sophistication and self-expression.

What jewellery should I wear to a formal event?

We love helping clients choose jewellery for a special occasion! Formal occasions, like weddings or black-tie dinners call for elegant and statement jewellery. Here are some of the guidelines we use when advising clients:

Go for classic elegance. Diamond (or top quality cubic zirconia jewellery) or pearl jewellery is a timeless choice for formal events. Opt for a delicate cubic zirconia, diamond or pearl necklace with matching earrings to add a sophisticated touch to your look.

Statement pieces: If your outfit is simple, then let the jewellery do the talking! Making jewellery the focal point of your look is a fabulous way to uplift wardrobe choices which are unfussy. Layer necklaces, add a cocktail ring and some impactful earrings to create a look that matches the occasion.

Metal choices: For a formal look, keeping the metals consistent across the pieces adds to the elegance of the look.

What jewellery is best to wear to an office?

Styling jewellery for the workplace requires a balance between professionalism and personal flair. It will also be influenced by the nature of the office and the work involved. Here are some of the tips we find clients find helpful:

Keep it minimal: many clients prefer to keep their ‘dressier’ pieces at home. This doesn’t mean your office look should be dull! But having an eye on not creating too fussy a look which may be distracting is a good consideration.

Layering lightly: Layering necklaces is right on trend and with the right layering combination you can create a look which is on trend, stylish but not messy or distracting. Our pre-selected necklace layering sets are ideal for this.

How do I style jewellery for everyday?

Jewellery for casual outfits, like meeting up with friends for brunch or jewellery for going on holiday or for days out allows us all to have fun experimenting with different looks in a relaxed setting.

Mix and Match: we love wearing different metals together. Introduce a silver chain to a gold pendant; wear gold and silver together or choose pieces which have silver, rose and yellow gold together!

Enjoy choosing stones: add a pop of colour with gemstone rings, earrings and pendants.

Stacking jewellery: whether it is earrings, necklaces or bracelets, layering and stacking jewellery together is a great way to express your own personal style.

What Jewellery is best for a party?

Evening events are your chance to shine with bold and glamorous jewellery.

Sparkle and Shine: go for jewellery with cubic zirconia, diamonds and metal that is textured to catch the light. Many semiprecious stones that we use shine and sparkle too!

Dramatic Earrings: Statement earrings are a great accessory for evenings! Go big and choose larger earrings than you’d usually wear for day time! If you enjoy a special hairstyle for the evening then choose earrings to complement this!

Layering Necklaces: More can be more! Combine different shapes of necklace together in a successful layer to elevate your outfit for a night out! Check out our top tips on how to layer necklaces here!

What jewellery should I wear to a wedding?

As a wedding guest, of course you want want to outshine the bride! Consider your outfit choice in terms of style, neckline and colour and use this as a guide. If you’re after a smart look, then choose pieces which work well together.

Should my bracelet, necklace and earrings always match?

For a formal look, you don’t have to match all your jewellery. In fact, whilst wearing a set of jewellery can look very ‘put together, we encourage customers not always to be too ‘matchy matchy’. You can add your own personal touch by choosing elements of the jewellery to complement each other, either in terms of the same stone, or same metal without always mirroring the design exactly.

Should I change my jewellery with the seasons?

Your jewellery choices can be influenced by the season. Here are some ways to introduce seasonality into your jewellery look:

Spring and Summer: Go for vibrant colourful jewellery like turquoise and bright stone or enamel jewellery.

Autumn and Winter: Opt for rich warm tones.  Chunky jewellery can work well with thick chunky winter knits and warmer clothes. Enjoy choosing sparkly jewellery for the party season in December!

 

Some General Jewellery Styling Tips:

Balance Your Look: If you’re wearing bold earrings then we recommend letting them be the hero and not wearing a dominant necklace.

Consider Necklines: Different outfit necklines are complemented better with different shaped necklaces. Check out our guide to what necklace to wear with what neckline here.

Mix Textures and Materials: Don’t be afraid to mix metals, gemstones and materials to create a unique and personal style. We love working with clients to find a combination of new pieces which work for them!

Layering Necklaces is Fun! When layering necklaces or stacking bracelets, vary lengths and shapes to create a balanced look.
