How To Accessorize Using Ladies Statement Jewelry

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 live in New York, NY you may be tempted to wear multiple statement pieces at the same time. Unfortunately, this is often not a good idea. It can leave you looking overwhelmed and smothered by your jewelry. Try limiting yourself to one statement piece while keeping the rest of your jewelry as understated as possible.

Necklines are also important things to think about especially if your statement piece is a necklace. For example, someone who is wearing a turtle neck or high neckline will benefit from wearing a long chain or string of beads. Lower necklines do well with necklaces that are shorter and which will rest above the upper line of the top. Try reflecting the shape of your neckline in the shape of the beads or pendants that you wear.

Some women have found ways to wear their statement pieces in new and unexpected ways in order to get more life or use out of them. You may want to try taking a strand of beads and wrapping it around your wrist several times in order to create a bracelet. Some chains may be able to do double-duty as a belt.

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.
