Good afternoon, my dear readers. Today I decided to make a list of jewelry that, in my opinion, should be in every jewelry box.
Jewelry is not just a “cherry” for a finished look. In some cultures of the world, jewelry is the basis of the toilet. Therefore, we decided to bring to your attention a few ideas on how to create your own collection of jewelry that you must have in your wardrobe.
Whether you’re prepping your outfit for the office or gearing up for a glamorous event, a few small accent pieces will transform your look. Here are 10 must-have jewelry every woman should have:
1. Diamond earrings (or cubic zirconia earrings)
«Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.» But not everyone can afford a diamond necklace, and there is rarely a reason to wear such an accessory.
However, diamond earrings are a completely different matter. They look great when you go to dinner or attend a business meeting. They take center stage even on weekends and make you look absolutely stunning on special family occasions.
What if you can’t afford them? They are easy to replace with shiny zirconia earrings, almost no one will notice the difference, and their price is much more affordable.
2. Large bright earrings.
Wearing a pair of dainty eye-catching earrings is like wearing high heels because they make you feel confident and glamorous at every moment.
If you keep your clothes simple, the focus will be entirely on your earrings. Earrings in large sizes are very dependent on the season. In summer, you will see colorful tassels and beads more often, while in winter you will see elegant metal and sparkling stones. It’s best to strike a balance between these opposites and make sure you’re comfortable wearing them in everyday life.
With large earrings, weight is of great importance, as they cause discomfort when worn for a long time.
3. Gold or silver hoop earrings.
Hoop earrings — gold, silver, with stones, wide or narrow — a universal model of earrings.
They are the perfect accessory for weekdays and weekends. Choose a pair of elegant rings for every day and office, and in the evening, bet on dazzling rings with stones.
For the most daring, large earrings are suitable, they are attractive and attract the eyes of the public. They look great with both loose and gathered hair in a ponytail or bun.
Almost all famous jewelry designers have models of Earrings with rings in their collections.
4. Pearl necklace.
If you want to be elegant and sophisticated, bet on a pearl necklace. And if you complement your image with a pair of pearl earrings, or a ring with a pearl, you will definitely stand out from the crowd.
Wear pearl necklaces to concerts, restaurant dinners, important business meetings, conferences and seminars. They will emphasize your femininity and diversify your business image.
Your outfit will really stand out, especially if you accentuate the delicate light color of pearls with a black evening dress for formal events, dinners, proms and more.
5. Wide cuff bracelet.
A wide bracelet that covers the wrist can definitely be a winning idea when wearing short-sleeved or sleeveless outerwear.
Decorate your hands with jewelry or something special — inlaid with stones. However, be careful when choosing as this bracelet can be quite heavy, cramped and out of place. If you bet on a diamond, which is very light and durable as a material, you won’t even feel it on your hand, and its specific graphite color only emphasizes the brilliance of small crystals.
6. Long elegant necklace.
Another model of neck jewelry that can complement your outfit is a long elegant necklace. High neckline outfits are ideally paired with a long necklace rather than a short pendant necklace. If you’re wearing an oversized t-shirt or loose dress, for example, you can also add a long chain choker and large pendant to balance your look.
7. Cocktail ring or diamond ring.
Another thing that every woman needs is a few rings. This is especially true if you are not one of those who love bracelets. Small, simple rings look great when placed correctly on the fingers.
If you want to be more daring, bet on large, spectacular and colorful rings. These rings are called cocktail rings because they were worn in America during Prohibition. Women also secretly drank cocktails (and not only) and emphasized the offense by wearing very showy rings.
To this day, at various parties and events (but not at official ceremonies), this decoration attracts the attention of people who pass by you.
Choose the rings that best suit your style and personality, and the ones that you feel most comfortable in.
8. Bracelet with pendants.
If you love colorful and statement accessories, a soft chain bracelet full of tinkling, dangling elements is always a good choice.
The chain can be made of silver or gold, and individual symbols called pendants are attached to it. Traditionally, ladies choose a necklace and start adding additional items (talismans) that have a personal meaning and meaning in their own lives.
These bracelets are unique in that they cannot lose their meaning for life, and pendants can multiply on any special occasion.
9. Single thin bracelet.
It can be single or double, flat or embossed, gold or silver, adorned with diamonds, pearls or other precious stones, in all its varieties, the bracelet is one of the unique decorations for your wrist. Whether you choose to wear one or more pieces of jewelry, you are sure to impress.
Tip: the rule when choosing bracelets: the longer the sleeves of the clothes, the smaller and thinner the bracelets should be, and vice versa. Thin elegant chain bracelets are suitable for sweaters with long sleeves. If the sleeves reach to the elbows, bet on a simple bracelet or refuse it altogether.
10. Necklace with a pendant type medallion.
Sometimes it is better to wear a short necklace with a pendant that elegantly catches the eye. Consider buying a necklace with a thin, simple metal chain or leather strap that hangs an interesting pendant.
The pendant is the wow element of this type of jewelry, and the necklace is in harmony with the color of your skin and the rest of your clothes. This creates a balance between the words «Look at me» and «There’s nothing to see here.» She is bold and beautiful, but still a bit mysterious and reserved.
Tip: If you combine jewelry with a blouse or dress with the wrong neckline, there is a chance to ruin the whole outfit.
If you only have a few accessories from this must-have jewelry list for every self-respecting lady, don’t worry. When shopping, keep in mind the content and style of the clothes in your wardrobe to create the best combination and complement to it. But don’t be afraid to try something new!
And as the unforgettable Marilyn Monroe says:
«Happiness is not in money, but in purchases»
Do you have all these decorations?
