Styling Silver Jewellery
Styling silver jewellery well requires some creativity, confidence and a little bit of know-how. Whether you're new to styling jewellery or a seasoned pro, these style tips will help you create the perfect look with your silver jewellery.
Consider the Occasion
When it comes to styling silver jewellery, the first thing to consider is the occasion. Different occasions call for different types of jewellery. For example, you might wear a delicate silver necklace for a casual lunch date, but opt for a bold statement pendant necklace for a special event.
Layer Your Jewellery
One of the best ways to create a statement look with your silver jewellery is by layering it. Start with a simple silver chain necklace and add a few other pieces to create a unique and eye-catching look. Experiment with different lengths and styles to find what works best for you.
Mix and Match Metals
Don't be afraid to mix and match different metals when mixing jewellery. Silver jewellery looks great when paired with gold or rose gold. Mixing metals can add depth and texture to your look and create a unique and personalised style.
Create a Focal Point
When styling silver jewellery, it's important to create a focal point. This could be a bold necklace, a statement ring, or a pair of stunning earrings. By creating a focal point, you draw attention to your jewellery and make it the star of your outfit.
Match Your Jewellery to Your Outfit
When it comes to wearing jewellery, it's important to match it to your outfit. If you're wearing a simple outfit, such as a plain white tee and jeans, a bold silver necklace can add a touch of glamour. If you're wearing a bright, patterned dress, you might opt for simple silver stud earrings to keep the focus on your outfit.
Experiment with Different Styles
Don't be afraid to experiment with different styles when wearing jewellery. Try pairing delicate silver jewellery with a boho-inspired outfit, or wear a bold silver necklace with a classic little black dress. Mixing different styles can create a unique and personalised look that is all your own.
Play with Texture
When styling silver jewellery, playing with texture can add interest and depth to your look. Consider pairing a smooth, polished silver ring with a hammered silver bracelet, or mixing a delicate silver necklace with a chunky, textured silver cuff. By mixing different textures, you can create a unique and personalised style that is sure to turn heads.
Skin Tone Considerations
For a long time silver jewellery was thought to be best paired with cool-toned skin, while warm-toned skin was thought to work better with gold or copper coloured jewellery. These days that fashion 'rule' is no longer considered to be all that important. We recommend that you experiment with different colours and finishes to find what works best for you.
