1. THE JEWELRY MATCHES THE OCCASION

Dangling wrist jewelry doesn't work so well when you're typing on a keyboard. If you're dressing for work (and you plan on typing a lot at work), you might want to skip the bangles and hanging bracelets. 

Your choice of jewelry for church hopefully wouldn't be the same selection as an evening at the club. Make sure to consider where you're going, what you'll be doing, and how the jewelry comes off to onlookers. 

There is such a thing as the wrong type of jewelry for the occasion. 

2. BUSY PATTERNS AND SIMPLE JEWELRY GO HAND-IN-HAND

Alternatively, loud and ornate jewelry can muddy a busy print, no matter how great it is. Busy prints and wild jewelry can get gaudy fast.  

Consider solid bracelets, watches, and earrings instead of showy accessories.

Even the material of the outfit should be taken into consideration. If the wardrobe has heavily stitched or ruffled fabric, ornate jewelry can come off just as tacky as it is on a busy print. 

3. USE STATEMENT EARRINGS TO HIGHLIGHT THE FACE

Your dress game may be on point, but if you intend to make your face the star of the show, grab a pair of statement earrings. You know, the flashy, glittery ones that highlight your eyes.

Take into account the shape of your face and which pair will do the most to bring out the facial differences that make you you. 

Ladies with heart-shaped faces, for example, might consider drop earrings that don't taper at the bottom. Ladies with oval faces should consider studs and triangular earrings to show off their cheekbones. 

4. JEWELRY THAT COMPLIMENTS SKIN TONE

Jewelry shouldn't just go with your outfit. Women who win at accessorizing these days know how to highlight their skin tones with their jewelry. 

Silver is a standard metal that illuminates most natural tones. Gold goes especially well with darker hair and matte skin. 

Cooler skin tones go well with gems that are red, purple and blue. Also, white gold is an excellent choice of metal for cooler skin tones.

Warmer skin tones pair nicely with yellow, orange and green gemstones in addition to yellow metals.

5. MIXING WARM JEWELRY WITH COOL COLORS

Rubies, canary diamonds, and amber gems make a statement by themselves. These colors are fiery and ambitious and look great over black and white. But did you think you could pair them with their opposite colors? 

Warm gemstones pair nicely with plain blue or purple material. For instance, a set of rubies on top of a royal blue top completes the look with a bold statement.
