For a balanced and put together look, always pick silhouettes that compliment your neckline. The right earrings and necklace will not just accentuate your profile but highlight your face and neck beautifully. If you’re donning a strapless dress, pair it with a choker or dainty neckpiece that fits snugly around your neck. The same goes for earrings. Choose long chandeliers or shoulder dusters to bring attention to the sides of your face. A classic turtleneck sweater calls for a layered necklace made up of smaller, daintier pieces or a solid, statement one.
Understanding your skin tone:
Understanding skin tone is one of the most important aspects that so many of us get wrong, especially when it comes to wearing jewelry. Once you understand your skin tone, you will be able to master every look like a pro. For example, if you have cool-toned skin then silver jewelry would complement you beautifully. While gold jewelry looks beautiful on all skin tones, if you’re going bare faced, it will bring out the warmer aspects of your skin and look both.

Minimal For Formal
Less is more as they say when it comes to powerfits. Stay away from loud, matchy or chunky jewelry when you’re donning plain formal clothes. Dainty and well made, neckpieces or earrings work best with formal outfits. Investing in high-quality fine jewelry in gold or a small pendant necklace will add just the touch of subtle to your look without taking away from your formal attire. For example, you cannot work on the computer with chunky bracelets on.

Colour of the outfit:
The colour of your outfit is super important when it comes to choosing the right jewelry as well. Gold and silver pair well with everything but the key is placement. Give the colour wheel a go if you’re opting for neon jewelry or coloured stones. For example, if you are wearing a green outfit, opt for yellow gold pieces. You can also go bold with a contrast of colours and choose striking options in bright purple or crimson stones. Colour blocking will be back in trend this season so give it a try too.
Personalize Your Style
Don’t let your jewelry wear you. Ever. It should always be vice versa. If you’re not someone who goes with the trend flow, experiment with your pieces and go with your gut. Whether you love to be dainty, bold, sultry or casual, being versatile when it comes to switching up your style can help break the boring rules when it comes to picking your jewelry. For an occasion that calls for a statement Indian look and feel, a string of pearls can look princess-like. But if you’re going out for the night, you can try layering it with interesting pieces and switch into something more dinner-like. It’s all about being transitional.
