KNOW WHEN TO STOP

If you’re drawing attention to your face and neckline with layered necklaces or a statement jewellery piece, perhaps you don’t need an armful of bangles to compete for attention.

Or if you're wearing a bold pair of earrings perhaps your necklace could be subtler or not there at all (on the other hand, a bold pair of earrings with a matching necklace can sometimes work beautifully). If you’ve accessorised with multiple pieces then consider taking a leaf out of Coco Chanel’s book: "Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory".

CAREFULLY CONSIDER YOUR EARRINGS
However, your earrings are usually in the field of vision for anyone who is talking to you, so they are important. You should aim to choose earrings to frame your face and complement your hair, eye colour and skin tone.

If you have long hair a great tip is to select a colour or metal finish which is more likely to be visible, depending on your hair colour.

EXPERIMENT WITH THE SIN OF MIXING METALS
But luckily that’s no longer the case, even according to the fashion police: there’s no need to stick to all sterling silver jewellery or all gold jewellery. So, think about pendants which contrast with the colour of chain they are attached to, rings that combine different metal colours or layered necklaces or bangles in different metals to add vibrant interest and colour to your outfit.

This has been one of my favourite things to do when designing jewellery in recent years, so you'll find several pieces in our online jewellery shop which have mixed metal colours.

WEAR RINGS WITH PANACHE
Stacking rings can add a lot of versatility to your wardrobe as you can mix and match them as you please to create a slightly different look each day. You can even choose to wear just one or two simple stacking rings for a more minimalist look on some days.

Try pairing up a set of matching rings or go for a mixture of colours, textures and gemstones. If you’re wearing multiple rings then the consensus seems to be to wear no more than one cocktail ring on each hand. Wearing an odd number of rings on one hand and even on the other works well too.
