Wardrobe Basics-Jewelry

Jewelry, as accessories, make or break an outfit. Jewelry
should ONLY accent an already good outfit instead of
overpower it. Jewelry is best when it is real precious metal
and genuine precious stone.
Being expensive makes this a hard rule to follow. What’s a
woman to do? Lucky for us there is a lot of faux jewelry that
is intended to fool just about anyone that you are wearing the
real thing.

Choose pieces that copy the expensive pieces exactly. A
good strand of pearls, a set of cubic zirconia stud earrings
could pass for diamonds. Garnet stones are less expensive in
a pendant or ring than rubies. Silver is also less expensive
than white gold, but look almost identical. Also, don’t ever
wear more than one ring on one hand at a time. It looks
overpowering.

Choose pieces for your jewelry box that are
interchangeable. Also, leave all the costume looking jewelry
at the store. They cheapen any outfit even an expensive one.
Themed jewelry like Christmas and Halloween is also a big
no no.

Take a trip to a good jewelry store to look at fine jewelry.
Try on many pieces to get familiar with what fine jewelry
looks and feels like. It will make you a much more informed
jewelry shopper and buyer. Jewelry should be timeless and
understated.
