Imagine a familiar situation: you have an important event coming up, and it’s simply impossible not to look perfect. In this case, choosing an outfit, hairstyle and makeup is half the problem; it is much more difficult to decide on the choice of jewelry. Look in the mirror, and everything suits you, except for one thing – it’s missing some zest. Without the necessary information, this situation, unfortunately, cannot be resolved. Every item in your wardrobe is paired with three matching pieces of jewelry, but in order to combine it with clothes you need to have some knowledge. Let's figure out how to choose jewelry for clothes.
How to wear chunky jewelry
Women who wear massive jewelry are distinguished by their extraordinary nature and free outlook on life. They can be considered true representatives of bohemia.
Basic rules for wearing massive jewelry that should be taken into account to create a harmonious look:
- You can use only 1 piece of jewelry at a time as an accent, such as a pendant or earrings. If you wear several at once, it will make your look heavier.
- Catchy and voluminous jewelry should be combined with plain or dull clothes.
You need to choose your outfit especially carefully when using massive beads and necklaces. Only a lady with artistic taste and a good sense of style can combine bright clothes with such jewelry. - Combining jewelry of the same style and color is no longer fashionable. Designers advise choosing the color of beads and bracelets to match the color of your shoes and belts. A manicure design or primary makeup color scheme can create a memorable look.
- When choosing an accessory, you should take into account the advantages of your figure. For example, you can draw attention to a beautiful bust with a bright necklace or pendant. And if a lady has beautiful hands, then a voluminous bracelet will emphasize their grace.
Ladies with curvy figures should wear voluminous jewelry with caution and choose elongated earrings that reach shoulder length. Ladies with short fingers should avoid voluminous rings.
We wear wooden beads
Wooden beads are a great addition to a natural, “natural” look. They will look best with natural fabrics such as wool or cotton. Linen fabric will also work.
Large red beads with plain black or white things will look very beautiful.
Wooden decorations can be successfully combined with various styles, for example:
- home style, beads will look beautiful with a linen shirt or a cozy woolen sweater;
- country style. A plaid shirt, jeans, accessories made of genuine leather or suede, complemented with wooden beads, will create a stunning effect;
- ethnic style or in combination with delicate cotton dresses.
Wooden decorations create the effect of lightness and warmth, so it is not recommended to combine them with silk or velvet.
How to wear bracelets
Bracelets emphasize the fragility and tenderness of women's hands. It should fit comfortably on your hand. Models with stones or gathered with an elastic band usually fit tightly; wicker models or hoop bracelets should hang freely, so that a finger can easily pass between the skin and the product.
You shouldn’t blindly follow fashion trends and combine more than 20 products on one hand. Not everything that looks spectacular on the catwalk will be appropriate in everyday life. In this case, 1 or 2 products are considered basic and have a pronounced color and decor. The rest just complement them.
When choosing models, you also need to take into account the cut of the sleeve. Frills or trim on the cuffs preclude wearing bracelets. You can wear one or two items over a smooth narrow cuff. Office and evening styles have their own wearing rules.
Laconic models with strict shapes are suitable for work. Products with stones or national or ethnic styles should not be worn to the office. Bracelets made of precious metals, smooth or with soft inserts, will harmonize with formal office outfits.
For a romantic date, choose models made of colored plastic, shells, and mother-of-pearl beads.
For the holidays, choose models with stones, rhinestones, and beadwork. For a classic cocktail dress silhouette, it is better to choose a narrow bracelet.
Everyday outfits can be complemented with items made of leather, wood, stones, and various metals.
A special category - Shambhala bracelets, are considered a talisman and are selected according to the sign of the Zodiac. They bring good luck to their owners.
How to choose beads according to your zodiac sign?
Each zodiac sign has patron stones. They can be strong talismans and amulets for a person, so when choosing beads you should pay attention to whether the chosen product matches the person’s zodiac sign or is the opposite of it.
- Agate beads are suitable for Taurus, Gemini, Aries, Sagittarius, Capricorn.
- Jasper will bring good luck to Taurus and Virgo.
- Coral is favorable to Libra and Scorpio.
- Beryl is recommended for Gemini.
- A string of pearls will be a good talisman and amulet for Cancer, Pisces, and Virgo.
- Amber in beads will enhance Leo's luck.
- Turquoise brings good luck to Aquarius and Capricorn.
But this is just an example. Each sign corresponds to at least 10 patron stones. Among them are precious stones, semi-precious and even ornamental ones, so you can find a suitable option for any wallet.
How to Wear Jewelry
Traditionally, stylists have advised against mixing silver and gold jewelry. However, in recent years, it is the combined options that are increasingly decorating girls at shows. But the style of the jewelry must be similar; antique silver earrings will not suit a cast gold hoop bracelet. A combination of several chains or thin bracelets made of different metals can emphasize the modernity and style of the owner.
For ladies with full necks, it is better to choose elongated gold chains with elongated pendants, or necklaces in several rows.
Those with thin necks are not recommended to wear massive choker necklaces; it is better to choose thin chains or multi-tiered necklaces.
You should combine earrings, a bracelet and a necklace made of precious metals only for going out; you should not show up to work in this look.
In addition, combining jewelry made of precious metals and costume jewelry is prohibited.
Accessories for beads made of natural stones
Perhaps someone would like to become the author of an exclusive piece of jewelry. It's possible. In addition to natural stones, you will need accessories: locks, laces, end caps, chains, callots, cables, crimps, artistic wire, etc. The Lukita online store presents all this in full in its catalog.
Boutique LeChugia is a Moscow online boutique where you can purchase beads and accessories produced by various companies for decorating jewelry, as well as designer jewelry made from natural stones.
How to wear rings
The latest fashion trends dictate the rule of wearing several rings at the same time. But do not forget that they must match in style and be made of metal of the same color. It is not recommended to combine jewelry and precious metals and stones.
If the product has large inserts of stones, then you should not complement it with other rings, and choose plain clothes.
When choosing a suitable model, you need to consider the shape of your fingers and hands:
- For large and wide brushes, flat models with oval-shaped stones are suitable.
- If the joints of the fingers are too noticeable, then choose products of an unusual shape, with voluminous stones. They will divert attention to themselves.
- Short fingers will visually lengthen medium-sized rings with pear or drop inserts fixed vertically.
- Narrow fingers are decorated with thin rings with weaving or without inserts.
- If the fingers are too long, then the inserts should be round or square.
For everyday wear, choose models with simple designs. Rings with a scattering of colored stones go well with cocktail dresses. And jewelry with diamonds is a suitable option for evening celebrations.
How to skillfully style large jewelry - earrings, brooches, rings, bracelets and necklaces?
Historically, jewelry has always been large and noticeable in order to emphasize the status of its mistress or owner, help them seek the favor of natural forces, or scare away evil spirits. Miniature and almost invisible jewelry on the skin came into fashion already in the 20th century, when women went to work en masse, got behind the wheel of vehicles, began to live in the fast pace of big cities and, in the end, fell in love with minimalism. Until now, many are afraid of large accessories precisely because of their excessive showmanship and in their everyday style they avoid massive jewelry for fear of seeming vulgar, tacky, or too elegant.
But the whole point, as always, is in a subtle and almost intuitive sense of combinations. For example, after studying the new cruise collections for 2021, we noted that large jewelry is often combined with calm denim items. What’s not a fashionable tip that brands like Carolina Herrera, Chanel and Valentino agree with? Find even more recommendations on how to wear large jewelry so that it always looks stylish on you.

Large brooches
Of all the jewelry, a brooch is not a complementary accessory, but a completely self-sufficient one. Especially if we are talking about a large product. Make sure that the clothes where you attach the brooch do not have large buttons or large patterns - one eye-catching detail is enough. The metal and colored stones of the jewelry should match the color of the clothing: you should not attach a huge red brooch to a bright blue dress. Narrative brooches need space - wear them on wide collars or on plain blouses so that your jewelry is comfortable (and pleasant!) to look at.

Long and large earrings
Such a spectacular decoration as massive earrings will instantly make your look impressive - take advantage of it and don’t be shy. To make sure your couple is admired, give them some air: tie your hair in a bun or high ponytail, focus your makeup on your eyes rather than your lips, and keep the top of your outfit as subdued as possible, without excess volume or standout details. Thin straps, off the shoulder, and a boat or V neckline are perfect.

Wide or massive bracelets
Massive bracelets instantly focus attention on the hands. You should definitely not wear such bracelets with sleeves of a complex design - with flounces, frills and decoration. Put a heavy and massive accessory on the hand that you use less (most often we are talking about the left hand) - this way you won’t quickly get tired of it with its presence.
When trying on different models of bracelets, pay attention to the fact that the large decoration emphasizes the elegance of your wrist, and does not hang as a heavy burden. Massive bracelets do not suit very thin wrists, but large, pumped up hands, on the contrary, decorate and emphasize their strength.

Large rings
Luxurious rings with colored precious stones are also commonly called cocktail rings - and yes, they have long been recognized stars of evening looks! As for everyday style, we advise you to definitely try rings with large pearls - they look very stylish and timeless. Large rings should not be combined with massive bracelets; such a set risks making you look older. But you can safely combine your ring in color or material with nail polish, with a belt, with lipstick or shoes - unexpected synonymous pairs in the image look more interesting. Wear large rings in a 1950s style if you like full, printed circle skirts and fitted sheath dresses.

Large necklaces
Even as a professional stylist, it is difficult to create a harmonious image using bright, colorful clothes and massive jewelry. In order not to be mistaken, it is better to take as a basis a neutral, calm background, which will highlight the intricate decoration with its presence, and not argue with it. For large neck jewelry, this recommendation will be key. We do not advise you to wear necklaces and necklaces in a set with earrings; now such duets are no longer relevant. But against the background of a masculine-style item, a formal blazer or shirt, a massive necklace will look harmonious.

How to wear earrings
Beautiful earrings will certainly attract attention to a woman's face. If the neck length is not enough, then you should not choose long models.
And if the neck is long and thin, then you can wear voluminous and elongated earrings, for example, wide rings or dangling geometric models.
Stud earrings are the most versatile model, suitable for any outfit.
Metal products with forged elements will create a creative image. Ethnic models are chosen for everyday outfits made from natural fabrics.
For an evening celebration, items made of precious metals with natural stones are suitable.
You need to approach the choice of jewelry responsibly, choose products that correspond to the time and appearance. The wrong accessory can completely ruin your look.

Beads are one of the most common jewelry for women. Made from natural stone, they can serve as a strong amulet, a talisman, or simply decorate a woman. How to choose and then wear beads made from natural stones will be described below in the article.
Precious and semi-precious stones
Jasper is a crystalline rock based on quartz and chalcedony. Translated from ancient Greek, this word means “variegated, bright.” Indeed, there are a huge number of colors of this wonderful stone, and heterogeneous ones. Monotonous jasper is very rare in nature. The most common options are grayish-green, dark green, wax, red, coffee, brocade, spotted stones. The main advantage of jasper is that, thanks to its unique textures, it is difficult to counterfeit. According to research, this mineral has healing properties for kidney and bladder diseases, toothache, fever, epilepsy, insomnia, and women's diseases.
Ruby has a unique fiery red hue, homogeneous or with impurities. Since ancient times, it has been considered a precious stone; there was a period when products made from it were valued more than diamonds. Ruby beads can protect against depression and insomnia, relieve inflammation, back and joint pain, and reduce nervous tension. This precious mineral is traditionally considered a symbol of love; it can be used to bewitch and demonstrate your passion. In addition, in India it is believed that ruby is capable of subjugating other people and giving unlimited power.
Jade jewelry is traditionally considered a symbol of great intelligence and determination. This stone has a variety of colors from gray to bright green with small veins, is easily polished and has a greasy shine when processed. It can cure diseases of the kidneys, stomach and intestines, and has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. In the Middle Ages, jade was applied to wounds and sore spots on the body, ground into a fine powder and mixed with water to make a healing drinking potion.
