Here are a few easy-to-apply, everyday tips on how to match your jewellery with style.

Beforehand: choose the color jewelry according to your skin tone
Can't decide between gold (or gold metals) and silver (or silver metals)? A simple glance at color will help you make the right choice.
- Dark, tanned or warm-toned skin tones go wonderfully well with jewellery in gold, bronze or bronze tones.
- Light, milky or pink skins match perfectly with silver metals.
Thus, the color jewelry you wear may vary depending on the time of year. Those who go to the tropics in February will obviously be able to wear gold and color almost all year round. For the less fortunate, there will be winter jewelry and summer jewelry (like perfume).

Option 1: Dare to accumulate, but not in any way
Three areas, three jewels, three colors. This is one of the fundamental rules in choosing jewelry (and in fashion in general). In order not to overdo it, it is essential to follow this guideline on a daily basis. Indeed, this rule of 3 is the security that will allow you not to make mistakes.
- Focus on 3 areas of the body. For example: ears, wrists and fingers or neck, fingers and ears... This will allow you to avoid the ornamental effect which is no longer really relevant.
- Choose an odd number of jewels. The accumulation of pieces is very trendy at the moment because it creates asymmetry and brings a little fashion touch to a look. By default, we talk about a 3-piece combination, but the more daring can accumulate up to 5 bracelets or 5 earrings without any problem.
- Focus on 3 colors and mix it up. It's not uncommon to see brilliant jewelry pairings that combine colored, gold and silver pieces. To make sure you don't go wrong, choose 3 shades of metal or colors . However, one should remain dominant over the other two. For example, a golden color will welcome one or two pink pieces and one silver piece (that you can wear as a single earring for example).

Option 2: Go for a strong piece that represents your personality
If the trend of accumulating jewellery is not your cup of tea, you can certainly enhance your outfit with a unique piece of jewellery. A strong piece with a strong style signature will finish your look beautifully. Here are some suggestions:
- Wearing a top with a delicate neckline? For a rock look, choose a massive chain to dress up your neck. If you're going for a more classic, yet elegant look, you can opt for a delicate string of pearls.
- Do you have a deep neckline in the back? Dare to delicately drop a long necklace down your spine... Effect guaranteed.
- Do you think your hands are not dressed up enough? Go for a beautiful and imposing ring.
- Got your hair up in a bun or ponytail? Now is the time to wear earrings. Very imposing pieces will go perfectly with an elegant headdress. You can also play up the surprise by wearing just one earring or a mismatched pair.
- Does your top delicately show your wrists or arms? The cuff is the perfect choice to finish your outfit. It's up to you to choose how to wear it: classically, around the wrist, or more daringly, around the arm.

Final tip: don't mix too many jewellery styles
While it is entirely possible to mix and match pieces as you see fit, you must be careful not to mix too many styles of jewellery together. It is essential to keep a certain unity, both in your outfit and in the choice of your jewellery, so as not to create inconsistencies or gaps in your look.
Of course, you can try small and bold combinations, but make sure that the difference in style is not too great:
- The classic pearl strand can be combined with signature rock n' roll jewellery, but it should be kept small.
- Jewellery pieces are difficult to combine with less prestigious jewellery. So avoid combining a bracelet set with beautiful stones with a fancy ring: the stylistic gap is too great.
- To make sure you never make a mistake, don't hesitate to try out a lot of jewellery to see which ones go best together. All you have to do is find the perfect outfit to go with it and you're done.
