Beaded Gemstone Jewelry

Accessorizing with
handcrafted gemstone jewelry is one of the most easiest and impelling ways to make any outfit look fantastic. Choosing a couple of sensational pieces of jewelry is not unlike picking your wardrobe. In fact, many image consultant and stylists refer to your overall jewelry collection as a wardrobe, because your jewelry is just as valuable as the ensembles you wear. Just like a picture frame completes and draws attention to the photo within, choosing the befitting jewelry enhances your most important features.


What is the best way to wear the
handcrafted gemstone jewelry you own? Assessing your existing jewelry wardrobe will help you weed out pieces that are passe, and more importantly,
helps you develop a consciousness of what enhances you and your overall comfort zone. Over time, you've probably developed a knack of preferences and dislikes, favoring silver over gold or necklaces over bracelets.


As a rule, redheads, brunettes, and grays should wear silver
handcrafted gemstone jewelry, while blondes look best in copper and gold. If you are brunette, and warm colors appeal you, wearing gold would work just as well. Women with black hair usually look good in all three metals: gold, silver, and copper. Although, there are no definite rules. If you undoubtedly love silver and you're a brunette, blond, or a redhead, or gray and love gold or
copper, go for it!


Absolutely do not mix looks. A contemporary silver cuff won't look right coupled with classic gold filigree earrings. Select a paired bracelet and earring set or two similar necklaces also looks terrific. Until recently, it was verboten to
intermingle metals. This was one of those old fashioned rules that many designers now discount. The trick is if you crave to intermingle metals, retain the style of jewelry the same. A uncomplicated hammered chain necklace of gold
and silver, or silver and copper links looks absolutely stunning and is very fashion-forward. Stacking bracelets or rings also lends perfectly to the mixing of metals. You can even combine round or square bangles or rings in various shades of gold, silver or copper.


In terms of matching your jewelry to your wardrobe, if you are wearing more than one color, your accessories should counterbalance the entire ensemble. As an example, if you are wearing red and black, you should have an even amount of red accessories (possibly garnets or coral) and black accessories (black silk scarf or onyx). Stick with the same color palate for assured success. Wear ruby or garnet earrings with a red top, or a sapphire or blue topaz -accented necklace or pendant with your favorite blue dress. Most importantly, make sure your
handcrafted gemstone jewelry is relevant for the event or occasion that you will be wearing it to.

Use your existing jewelry wardrobe to its best, and then over time augment the gaps with like pieces. This doesn't mean that you have to part with a king's ransome to beef up your jewelry wardrobe or have an comprehensive jewelry collection. It also doesn't mean that you can not jumble a piece of fine jewelry with a bridge or costume, just as long as it works good together.


Consider having at least one trademark piece of high quality jewelry that you wear generally (other than your wedding band). It doesn't have to be a
handcrafted couture designer piece. There are an abundance of fabulous pieces on the market that are unsigned but surely make a fashion statement. Above all, make sure that your everyday or trademark handcrafted jewelry is in perfect condition. If it's showing signs of fatigue, have it upgraded, repaired, or replaced.



Just keep in mind that frequently worn jewelry should coordinate well with your whole wardrobe and should mirror your individual tone. Convey this look when choosing new pieces to augment to your
handcrafted gemstone jewelry w wardrobe. Most importantly, keep in mind that staying within your level of comfort and your unique fashion style goes miles in building your personality and confidence sparkle.
