How to Match Jewelry with Your Outfit

When you want to express yourself and make a statement with fashion, handmade jewelry pieces that elevate your style are a must. Yet, to accessorize casual wear, enhance a charming night out, or complement a dress code, you need to know how to match jewelry with your outfit. 

Rest assured, because we got you covered. In this exciting read, you will find all of the steps that will get you going and inspire you to create the most dazzling looks. 

In just a few minutes, you can learn how to mix and match clothes with jewelry and turn all eyes on you everywhere you go. 

How to Match Jewelry with your Outfit

Complement Necklines and Necklaces 

The first thing you need to grasp when discovering how to match jewelry with your outfit is to accentuate the neckline you wear with a unique necklace.  Let’s say you wear a low-cut top or a V-neck dress. To accentuate the neckline, pairing it with a pendant necklace could make your outfit even more beutiful than what it already is.

The key to discovering the best combinations of necklines and necklaces is to play with lengths and depths, experiment with layers, and mix and match shapes and colors.

Harmonize Colors and Jewelry Metals

The colors of clothes and jewelry metals have to either be in perfect balance or daze with eye-striking contrast. 

To illustrate, if you prefer gold, set our mystique earrings and oracle necklace against a deep blue or plum-purple garment, or attune them with earthy tones of red, orange, or green. 

On the flip side, a handmade silver necklace and the oni ring from our collection, can blend with mint, gray, turquoise, or baby pink or counter with charcoal gray or navy blue. 

When it comes to neutral colors such as white and black, they can fuse utterly with both gold and silver. Imagine a slip-white dress with our closed-loop earrings and a white marble ring for a sleek and refined look. 

Alternatively, go with a little black dress with a chunky link necklace for a more opposing impression.

Pay Attention to Your Skin Undertone

To favor jewelry that suits your distinct complexion, you have to know your skin's undertone. Your skin tone can be light, medium, or dark, depending on the surface of your skin color. However, your undertone is the one that directs which metals boost your features and presence. 

There are three skin undertones: cool, warm, and neutral. 

Cool Undertone

If you have bluish or purplish veins, your skin is paler and burns quickly, and you have pink, blue, or red hues under your skin, then you are in the cool category. Silver is your primary go-to metal, and you can play with platinum and white gold jewelry, too.

Warm Undertone

Contrarily, if you have a warm undertone, and notice yellow and golden hues under the skin, you’ll look radiant when wearing gold, brass, or copper. The color of these metals enhances the warmth of your complexion.

Neutral Undertone

When you have olive shades under your skin, and your veins and hues are a mix of cool and warm, your undertone is neutral. People with neutral undertones can wear whatever metal they fancy because, luckily, everything looks fabulous on their skin.

Consider the Occasion and Dress Code

Maybe one of the most critical factors when mastering how to match jewelry with your outfit is the event. A dress code plays a grand role in fashioning your ensemble and picking the consonant jewelry.

The following tips will support you in making daring jewelry choices for different occasions and places, so don’t forget to implement them in your styling habits. 

Everyday Outfits

How you match jewelry with your everyday outfit mainly depends on your distinctive sense of fashion. Some of you like to keep it casual, while others prefer to be more extravagant. 

For instance, if you prefer minimalistic everyday looks, pick jewelry that adds personality and vibrance. Casual and straightforward clothes allow space so that jewelry can be the centerpiece of your image. Our Fierce earrings, stacked rings, or big chain necklace can all draw attention without being excessive. 

Conversely, when the majority of your clothes are patterned, colorful, or showy, an understated jewelry piece will flatter them. Bold jewelry can ruin radiant outfits, so keep it low with a minimal ring, clean bracelet, or small chain from our handmade assembly. 

However, it doesn't mean that the opposite can't be effective as long as you wear everything with tenacity and attitude.

Formal Outfits

Remember that with formal outfits and jewelry, less is more. This means that you shouldn’t overstack different types of jewelry but focus on one outstanding piece, especially if you wear a head-turner dress or suit. 

For example, a pair of our smaller open-loop earrings can enrich a black evening look, adding allure and composure. Moreover, our handmade thrilling necklace can resonate with magnetism without stealing the spotlight from your elegant dress. 

Regarding men, our passionate handmade stone ring can do just the trick. However, you can always choose to wear a thin bracelet or a pendant necklace from our delicately crafted accessories, in case you keep it elegant. 

Professional and Work Outfits

The outfits you will wear to work depend on your workplace atmosphere. Keep it professional and humble with our minimalistic jewelry styles and designs, and fix upon a maximum of three jewelry pieces. 

Some of the best jewelry preferences for work from our collection include a good luck pendant necklace, chain bracelet and arka chain necklace, or rugged stone ring. Similarly, you can freshen your work dress code with detectable silver earrings. 

Of course, if you have a more artistic profession and work in a more relaxed environment, then the sky's the limit. You can express your nature with a dauntless chain necklace or tandem corpulent rings and earrings

Party Outfits

The best dress-ups often happen when you are about to head for a memorable party. Fun nights insist on dramatic looks and gutsy jewelry choices. Yet, beware to keep the accessories neat and not overcrowd the eclectic look.

Otherwise, parties are the best place for bolder jewelry from our assortment: statement earrings, XL necklaces, or large bracelets. You can combine more jewelry pieces, such as rings on multiple fingers and an oversized necklace, or you can set on our spectacular earpiece and abstract bracelet

With party outfits, there are no restrictions. Stay true to yourself, wear what you love, and fascinate the eye.
