How to Wear Jewelry?

Caring for your jewelry starts with proper wear. That means knowing when to put your jewelry on – and when to take it off.

Put jewelry on after applying makeup, perfume and hairspray. Also, handle gems and pearls as little as possible, since skin oil can build up over time and dull their appearance.

Remove your jewelry if you're going to do any manual labor, including housework.  A bracelet can be easily broken or bent if it catches on a hook. Gems, even diamonds, can chip or crack if they're knocked against a hard surface. Another danger comes from the harsh solvents used in cleaning, which are not good for any kind of jewelry and particularly harmful to pearls.

If you wear earrings, it's usually best to remove them while you're having your hair styled. That way the stylist's comb won't catch them. And, never wear pearl earrings or necklaces while you're having your hair colored. Some of the coloring agents contain alcohol and other chemicals that can mar the luster of the pearls.

If you're right-handed, think about wearing a bracelet or watch on your left wrist since you don't use it as much as your right. The opposite applies if you're left-handed.

Well, where the jewelry is concerned, the basic criteria are your Age, Height and Build.

Earrings

If your height is equal to that of the current fashion standard and besides you can boast of having a fine swan neck, don’t hesitate to wear long dangling earrings. They look especially good in a company of smooth hair.

If, in contrast ,you are petite and not too high, your friends are small earrings that will not look like weights on you. Chunky “button” earrings esp. with a gem are fabulous on a
plump lady with lush hair-style.
 

Rings

Rings are the piece of jewelry so much preferred by many women both for its aesthetic value and symbolic meaning. Slim diamond rings are commonly worn on a ring-finger. Never put on 2 or more rings on the same finger. Rings with a gem of more than 10k are usually worn on a fore-finger. Besides, the best option for young ladies with slim arms and fingers is something adequate- a small exquisite 2k ring.
 

Bracelets

Bracelets are worn only on the right hand. If it consists of some segments without a gem in the centre, wear it loose on your arm. And, conversely, if a bracelet is adorned with gems centering it, don’t let it dangle on your arm.

Brooches

Brooches are very much in fashion today. Well, to put it right, brooches are everywhere this year. Again, young girls choose small-sized ones. Single “flowers” or something like that are worn on the left side, 10-15cm below the shoulder or at the collar. Massive brooches can serve as the collar links. Best of all, diamonds match one-colored dresses, preferably - a black one. But in case there are some plain buttons on your dress, the brooch should be 5-7cm. higher. You can fold a light scarf and pin it up with the brooch. You want something extravagant - wear the brooch on the waist line, provided the design of your dress doesn’t object to it.

Never wear diamond brooches on the coat collar, on denim or leather jackets. Neither it can be a good company for casual, knitted or sports clothes.

Necklaces and pendants

As far as necklaces and pendants are concerned, the major dilemma is whether to wear them with high-necked or low-cut dresses. The liberty of your own decision is well within the limits of good taste. Experiment - and decide what works best for you.

And, finally, let’s work out how we can combine different pieces of jewelry.If you have a jewelry set, consisting of a bracelet, ring, necklace and earrings, follow the next principle ‘earrings+ bracelet”, “necklace+ ring”. Avoid wearing more than 2 rings at a time. It looks too excessive. As far as diamonds go, this gem is predominantly for evening wear.
