How To Pick The Right Ladies Statement Jewelry For Any Outfit

By Linda Barnes


Playing with accessories can be fun. They can change the look of an outfit quickly and easily and are often very affordable for women to purchase. If you are interested in using ladies statement jewelry to keep your wardrobe looking current and fresh, here are a few things for you to consider.

When women first start looking for these items, they may be surprised at how much selection there is. They may wonder how to choose the right materials, colors and metals that will look best on them. If this is the case with you, the best way to find colors that suit you is to try on many different pieces if possible. You will quickly get a sense for the proportions that will look right on you as well as the hues that look good with your skin and hair.

One problem that many women have is choosing clothing that will work well with their jewelry. Some may choose clothing with a very busy pattern or which has a color that will not work well with the color of the beads or the metal in their jewelry. Keeping your look as monochromatic and neutral as possible will help ensure that this does not happen. People will be drawn to look at your jewelry rather than trying to figure out what to look at first.

If you are living in New York, NY you may be tempted to limit yourself to only wearing one or two pieces in order to keep their look from seeming too busy. This is a good policy. Too much in the way of accessories can throw off the balance of your outfit. Try limiting yourself to other jewelry pieces that are daintier or more refined in order to keep them from competing with your statement piece.

If you decide to wear a statement necklace, it is a good idea to pick one that works with the neckline of your top. For example, higher necklines can work well with longer chains or strands of beads. These will hang down past the neck and can give a nice hit of visual interest. Lower necklines may work better with chunky pendants or strands of beads that can be looped around a person's neck multiple times.

You may be able to adapt your jewelry pieces so that they can be worn in different ways, such as turning a necklace into a belt or bracelet. This can be easy if you love wearing long strands of beads since these can be doubled up or even tripled up if need be.

Shopping for these items can be fun and exciting. You may want to look in markets and second hand stores for unique pieces or look online for items that can be purchased inexpensively. Make sure you look for items that are of as good a quality as possible so that you can be sure that they last as long as possible.

Caring for your pieces is also important. Some materials such as natural pearls can be damaged by cosmetics and by oils that your skin emits. Looking after even inexpensive pieces will extend their lifespan and keep you looking your best for years and years.
