Everything You Need to Know About Jewellery Styling
How to Style Your Jewellery
1. Can I mix metals in a jewellery stack?
Mixing different metals is actually fun. Combine gold, platinum or White Gold, and Rose Gold pieces to add some contrast. It’s a trendy way to add dimension to your look. Start by choosing a statement piece, like a bold gold bracelet, then add White Gold and Rose Gold pieces around it. Balance is key here, so keep a mix of thinner and chunkier pieces for variety. Have fun with different textures, like hammered and smooth finishes, to keep it interesting. Keep your outfit neutral to let your jewellery stand out. Don't be afraid to experiment- stir in some sass with those mixed metal stacks and go everyday extra!
2. How to elevate your monochrome OOTD?
When it comes to monochrome outfits- we see it as a canvas to play bold. Start by adding bold jewellery like chunky necklaces, colourful ring stacks or textured bangles in contrasting metals. Adding some sort of patterns to your monochrome ensemble will add energy. Don’t forget standout shoes, like patent leather boots or metallic heels, to break the monotony. You can also experiment with two kinds of fabrics of the same colour like a silk blouse or a knit scarf. Finish with a bold lip or statement nails.
3. How to take an outfit from day to night?
Creating a day-to-night look is super easy! Start with a versatile base like a sleek dress or chic jumpsuit. For the day, keep it simple with some comfortable chic heels. Accessorise well with some dainty drop earrings and pair with something colourful like a ring stack. In the evening glam up the look with a black leather jacket. Add some bold jewellery—think statement earrings or a chunky necklace. Refresh your makeup with a smokey eye or bold lip. Switch your daytime tote with a stylish clutch. Finish with a spritz of your favourite perfume and you're ready to effortlessly transition from work hours to after-hours, looking fabulous all the way!
4. How to complement jewellery with your outfit?
Go light on jewellery if you’re wearing busy patterns like delicate chains or stud earrings and you can never go wrong with statement earrings to highlight your face. For minimalist outfits put on bold, statement pieces. Uplift a simple dress look with a chunky necklace or oversized earrings. Coordinate colours—gold jewellery with warm tones, White Gold with cool tones. Layer necklaces or stack bracelets for a boho vibe. Don’t forget to match your jewellery to your outfit’s neckline- like wear layered necklaces for a haltered neckline and choker necklaces for off-shoulder outfits. Always aim for balance, letting your jewellery enhance, not overwhelm your style.
5. How to wear statement jewellery?
Don’t think twice while keeping it bold. Pair statement pieces with simpler, minimalist outfits to let them shine. For example, a statement necklace can elevate a plain blouse, while chunky earrings pop against sleek hair and minimal makeup. If you're wearing statement earrings, skip the necklace to avoid overload. Stick to neutral or solid colours to keep the focus on your jewellery. Statement pieces are meant to stand out, so wear them confidently and let them be the star of your outfit.

Always consider the local climate and activities, and pack versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched. It’s your journey, look everyday extra!
