Tips on Jewelry

If you wear glasses, try to keep the amount of jewelry around your face to a minimum. Flashy earrings, necklaces, pins and glasses have a tendency to make your face look overdone.

Necklaces and pins should not be worn at the same time. Together, they can complicate the outfit.

Watches and wedding bands are standard and should not be considered extra jewelry. Don't worry about being overdone if you add jewelry to these basics.

Diamonds and other ornate pieces of jewelry should not be worn during the day time, except for an engagement or wedding ring. Cocktail jewelry should only be worn after 5:00 p.m.

When you choose the jewelry to wear with a dress, consider enhancing the outfit and not showing off your expensive jewels.

Jewelry is often sold in a matched set, i.e., earrings, necklace, and bracelet. This does not necessarily mean you have to wear them all at once. Try breaking them up and wearing different pieces with different outfits. Too much of one thing can be overpowering.
