How do you choose your jewellery to create a uniquely bold look?

To be successful with jewellery layering, you first need to know your profile and the style of jewellery that suits you. Note that the key to successful jewellery layering is to mix well-thought-out pieces that show you off to best advantage. Start with basic, understated but stylish pieces. For example, opt for a simple gold or silver necklace, a slender bracelet and classic earrings. Opt for minimalist jewellery, which you can then enhance with more original elements.

Then invest in more daring, high-quality pieces. You’ll easily find jewellery to accentuate your style by browsing jeweller’s catalogues. Dare to go for original, eye-catching pieces to add character to your look. Beautiful coloured stones and unique shapes will be your best assets. They’ll add an original touch to your outfit.

Advice on combining different jewellery colours and materials

To achieve the mix and match style, it’s essential to know how to mix different colours and materials. Even if you don’t wear matching jewellery, it still has to be harmonious. Choose a theme that will be common to all the jewellery: rock, bohemian, vintage… This way, you’ll avoid spreading yourself too thin.

First of all, you need to learn how to mix sizes. If you want to wear several necklaces, they must not be the same size. You should only wear one large piece of jewellery at the most, to avoid overloading the look. So, if you wear XXL earrings, choose more discreet models for the rest. You could, for example, wear them with one or more simple bracelets and a thin necklace.

When it comes to materials, you can wear two or three jewels of different textures, but no more. This kind of mix adds depth and visual interest to the final result. For example, you could combine a fine gold chain with a silver chain and pearls. Choose a main material and complement it with another colour, such as yellow gold, white gold or rose gold.

The same goes for stones: experiment with different combinations. The trend is to mix and match, so wear your diamond ring with earrings, a bracelet or a necklace set with natural stones. White stones, such as moonstone, complement the pink-orange colour of amber perfectly for a soft, discreet combination. However, it’s also interesting to create a contrast with darker colours like tiger’s eye.

Different ways of layering your jewellery

To achieve balance and harmony, it’s essential to know how to layer jewellery. One of the basics of this trend is necklaces, which are a must! If you want to wear several necklaces in the right way, the first rule is to combine two or three chains of different lengths. You can also wear a large necklace with one or two thinner ones. Mind you, they don’t all have to be big, otherwise you risk looking busy and not at all classy! Of course, you can wear pendants, but they should be discreet too.

Then there’s the layered ring trend. The rings should be of different sizes (phalange rings) for a harmonious look. Stacked rings are an effective way of adding pizzazz and elegance to your look. Go for minimalist rings with a discreet look. You can also create a little contrast by adding an original ring whose style stands out from the rest.

Finally, by combining different styles and types of bracelets, you’re sure to create a very interesting look. You could, for example, combine a minimalist gold or silver bracelet with one made from natural stones or shells. Add a pearl necklace for a touch of originality. Incorporate cathedral ring settings for an elegant touch that enhances the overall look.

Choose the right pieces to accessorise your sophisticated outfit

To accessorise your sophisticated outfit, it’s important to know how to choose the right jewellery. For a chic, refined style, elegant jewellery is a must. To achieve this, opt for refined materials such as white gold, rose gold and yellow gold. Pearls and precious stones are also a safe bet.

Our advice is to choose simple jewellery that stands out from the crowd. You have to understand that jewellery doesn’t have to be imposing to be remarkable. Small details generally make all the difference, for example in terms of shape, the splendour of the stone adorning the jewel and its finesse.

Also, make sure you choose colours that go well with those of your outfit. The ideal is to create a nice contrast so that your jewellery and your outfit stand out. If you wear red jewellery with a red dress, the whole ensemble quickly becomes nauseatingly heavy. This is a fashion faux pas that should be avoided at all costs. In this case, opt for a minimalist necklace, gold or silver dangling earrings and a discreet necklace with a precious stone pendant. A minimalist necklace made from chain and pearls (or natural stones) would also be a very good choice. Why not wear it over a chain necklace? It’ll be the daring touch that makes all the difference!
