Five Jewelry Style Tips To Elevate Your Outfits

Styling yourself can be a confusing and complex process. There are multiple variables to consider ranging from color and texture to style and cut, with each article or accessory pairing differently. These are full-proof styling tips to make jewelry wear much easier.

• Choose A Statement Piece

A statement piece is any piece of jewelry whose design is captivating and has enough presence for your outfit to be built around it. In this approach, you don't choose your jewelry to pair with an outfit; you choose an outfit to pair with your jewelry.

This streamlines the outfit options available to you based on the color, design, and shape of your jewelry piece because, while they do not need to have the same pattern, they must give off the same style energy.

This is especially useful when you have that one jewelry piece you can never pair with anything else. No, it's not difficult to style, you just have to change your approach.

Statement pieces you may consider for this style hack are the "Made In Heaven" Arch Earrings and the "Transformed, Redeemed, Sanctified" Earrings.

•  Curate Standard Sets

This tip is aimed at helping you get out the door quicker. It's for the days where you do not have time to meticulously pick out each jewelry piece you want to wear.

How this works is you create standard jewelry sets for particular occasions. Your work set could be a pair of studs like the "Africa Cross Stud" Earrings, with a simple necklace, a bracelet and 2 rings. Voila, you have a jewelry set for work.

This hack applies for literally any occasion. Date nights, Black Tie events, Family functions, Errand and grocery runs could all have jewelry sets which are your staples. For this hack tho, it's best to stick with simple pieces, because they tend to pair well with more outfits.

Pieces like our "Phil 4:6-7" Necklace, "Made In Heaven Assembled In Africa" Ring, and the "Phil 4: 6-7" Cuff Bracelet.

• Layering Your Pieces

Necklaces, rings and bracelets are great stacking options.Layering your pieces brings a new dimension to your outfit, more depth to your style.Generally when layering its advised to mix metals, size and shapes. Stacking with no variation often looks drab and poorly thought out.

Ring Stacks should be different sizes and shapes, but could be the same tone. Our "Made In Heaven Assembled In Africa" and "Abba's Fave" Rings would stack well together because the former is a thin band while the latter is thick.

Necklace stacks could be the same tone, but the most important thing is for the necklaces to be of varying lengths. This can be achieved using a jewelry extender.

• Mixing Metals

First off, don't be scared to pair different metal tones. Combine your rose gold, yellow gold and silver pieces in a way that encapsulates your style.

A good trick to gain confidence in this regard is to buy the same jewelry piece in different tones or buy similar pieces in different tones. This is especially helpful if you're shopping from a single brand because there would be more synergy  between their pieces.

For example, our "Made In Heaven Assembled In Africa" Necklace is available in black, rose gold, gold and silver while our "Abba's Fave" Ring is available in gold and silver in sizes 6-10.

• Know When To Stop

When you have so many pieces you love, wearing them all can seem like a good choice.

Sometimes, outfits need a minimalist approach and other times, can withstand the intensity of maximalist styling. You'll need to assess the quantity of jewelry an outfit can carry and then stick with that.

Wearing statement pieces simultaneously, though not impossible, takes expert styling that takes skill to achieve. Building this skill takes time and effort.
