If it happens to you frequently, then you might be making these 10 common jewellery styling mistakes without even realising it. But fret not, as we have got your back with some fabulous fixes to turn those faux pas into fashion wins!
10 Common Jewellery Styling Mistakes
1. Overdoing It
We know it is difficult to decide what to wear when you have so many beautiful blingy pieces in your collection. No matter how tempting it is, don’t make the classic mistake of piling on too many pieces at once. Layering is indeed in style these days, but there is a fine line between stylishly stacking accessories such as necklaces and creating a tangled mess.
Instead of wearing every piece from your collection, choose a few statement pieces to keep your ensemble balanced and elegant. For instance, style this 925 Sterling Silver Necklace With Radiant Cubic Zirconia 18" with cubic zirconia studs to match the sparkle of this necklace.
You can also choose a thin, delicate silver bracelet and/or silver stackable rings to enhance the overall sparkle and tie the look together without being too bold.
2. Disregarding Proportions
One common mistake that most people make is snubbing the proportions of their jewellery with their outfits. It is very important to consider necklines while choosing your jewellery, especially necklaces. If you’re wearing a plunging neckline, pair it with a delicate pendant necklace to keep your ensemble balanced and visually appealing.
Avoid wearing chunky or overly elaborate pieces when flaunting plunging necklines. For outfits with a V-neck, choose a pendant or a Y-shaped necklace for a cohesive look. For off-shoulder tops or dresses, wear a choker or short necklace to highlight your collarbones.
3. Mixing Metals Erratically
Mixing metals is all the rage right now. However, not doing this properly can result in a clunky clash. To absolutely kill this look, try to strike a balance. Distribute different metals evenly throughout your outfit.
For instance, an elegant silver necklace can be paired with gold earrings and a mixed-metal bracelet to create a harmonious look. Make sure that these metals are complementing each other and not competing.
4. Forgetting About the Occasion
Another popular blunder that people often make is wearing inappropriate jewellery for the occasion. It is important to consider the occasion when selecting jewellery pieces to ensure you don’t overwhelm your look.
Save your bold statement pieces for parties and choose minimalist or elegant pieces such as classic studs or hoop earrings and minimalist necklaces for everyday wear. This 9ct Solid Gold Twist Earrings for women is a very versatile piece by FJewellery that can be worn for both everyday wear and special occasions.
5. Disregarding Skin Tone
Did you know that certain metals complement different skin tones better? You are compromising your appearance by not paying attention to your undertone and choosing jewellery. Choose gold jewellery if you have a warm undertone as it will enhance your skin's natural warmth, making you appear more radiant. Did you know other gold jewellery benefits?
Silver and white-gold jewellery pieces complement people with cool undertones, giving them a fresh and vibrant appearance. Feel blessed if you have neutral undertones, as gold and silver jewellery would go well on you.
6. Clashing With Patterns
Bold patterns are fun to flaunt, but pairing them with equally bold pieces of jewellery can be a bit overwhelming. If you are donning a vibrant, patterned outfit, let one element steal the limelight. If your outfit has striking prints or intricate designs, choose simple, more understated jewellery to balance the look.
For example, a floral dress or an outfit with a geometric print would pair nicely with minimalistic pieces such as this 9ct Solid Yellow Gold Bangle 2.9mm.
This subtle accessory can complement your ensemble without competing for attention. On the other hand, if you are wearing plain, solid-coloured clothing, make a statement with bold and chunky jewellery.
7. Neglecting Your Hair
Ever had a stunning pair of earrings get lost in your mane? Guilty as charged! This is another common mistake most people make. To ensure your earrings shine bright, style your hair accordingly. For chandelier earrings, sleek updos are the best choice. If you are wearing a classic pair of studs, go for tousled waves to get a chic look.
8. Stacking Bracelets Incorrectly
When it comes to stacking bracelets, there is an art to achieving that effortlessly cool vibe. Instead of wearing all your favourites, try maintaining a balance by mixing textures, widths, and styles. Pair a chunky bangle with thinner, delicate bracelets.
You can also mix different materials such as beads, leather, and metals to add depth. If one wrist is stacked, keep the other minimal. Make sure your bracelets fit you comfortably and don’t jingle excessively.
9. Failing to Personalise
Personalisation adds flair to your daily ensemble by adding a hint of your charm and personality. Infuse your personality into your jewellery pieces by incorporating personalised jewellery. Sentimental charms or birthstone pieces such as this 9ct Solid Yellow Gold Diamond Initial Pendant Letter A can help you tell your story and stand out from the rest.
10. Not Caring for Your Jewellery
To maintain the beauty and shine of your favourite pieces, it is important that you don’t ignore their maintenance routine. Make sure to clean and store your jewellery properly to avoid tarnish and damage. Always store them in a cool, dry place and use a soft cloth or brush with the right solution to clean them.
