It’s possible to achieve a polished look while breaking the traditional rules of how a woman should (or should not) accessorize. Here are the “do’s and don’ts” for a fresh and modern take on the right way to attract attention.
DO Wear a fashionable combination of high and low. Try wearing a cheap and chic item with your favorite LBD, or your fanciest piece with denim. This white gold fleur-de-lis pendant necklace by Daniela Swaebe glitters with 1.36 carats of white diamonds and will dress up casual or designer tops in an instant.
DON’T Be afraid to layer your costume jewelry with fine jewelry. No one does costume baubles better than Kenneth Jay Lane and his crystal stone cocktail ring ($165) will shine as bright as any piece of fine jewelry.
DO Mix metals. No more sticking to only one metallic hue at a time, try choosing a piece of jewelry that’s crafted of mixed metals, or layering several items together in yellow gold, rose gold, and silver tones. These chic gold and silver stackable rings ($250) by Anna Beck are the perfect way to start experimenting with mixed metals.
DON’T Save sparkling statement pieces for nighttime. Try wearing your most dazzling pieces over a t-shirt or a cashmere boyfriend sweater for an unexpected finishing touch. Make a Sunday afternoon feel like a special occasion by styling your look with this multicolor geometric crystal bracelet ($220) designed by Otazu.
