Before you wear a bracelet do this
We use jewelry to decorate ourselves, display wealth, and communicate meaningful symbols. Bracelets may be small but are a great way to communicate your fashion sense. If you’ve never gotten a wind of how to wear or choose the perfect bracelet, here are a few things to consider.
Consider your wrist size
Think about which type of bracelet will look better against the backdrop of your arm, wrist, and hand. When we say the bracelet should match your wrist size, we’re not just talking about whether it fits around your wrist. You want to choose a bracelet that complements your appearance, which is why it’s important to consider your bone structure. That way, you’ll know whether to look for one that’s wide or narrow, simple or extravagant, and solid or delicate.
Find your bracelet style
Are you more of a bold and chunky person or small and sleek. Do you prefer beads, chains or leather. All these need to be clear. There’s no problem if you love them all, some of us do.
Master the art of layering
Remember, unless you’re trying to be matchy-matchy, the goal is to look as though you tossed your bracelets on without a second thought. Easy, breezy, and oh-so-casual is the way to go.

How to match your jewelry with your manicure
The smallest details make the difference so matching your jewlery with your manicure is absolutely possible. 😊😊😊 This does not mean that you have to change your manicure every time you wear a different ring or a bracelet. Instead, by following a few simple tips you can come up with a couple of general ideas for balancing your look, which will be easy and pleasant to perform later on.
Here are a few things to note.
Natural is bae
Too much attention to your jewellery or hands can be somewhat irrelevant, for example in a bride’s outfit, in the office, or on a first date. For underlining the natural beauty of your hands and a plain ring, using a simple pattern in a natural colour is best. Pink polish looks very soft and feminine, perfectly matches and rings from white metal or rose gold. Jewellery pieces with pearls would also be a good match for such manicures. For a more interesting design decorate your nails with a polish matching the colour of the metal of the piece.
Classic polish colours and maximalism in jewellery
With one, two, or three simple small jewellery pieces it’s easier to choose an appropriate pattern and colour for the manicure, while when wearing more than four rings or big statement pieces such as rings with massive gems or wide bracelets with figurines it’s hard not to look kitsch. The best polish colour in this situation is a classic wine red or simple black. Another easy way to ‘fit in’ such jewellery pieces with your outfit is to select a nail polish in the same colour. This trick usually works really well with bulky and large jewellery, for example, wide bracelets. And if you want to wear a big statement ring with large gems or similar colour palettes, the best nail polish colour to choose is the same one as the gems.
Balance of originality
Expressive rings with a unique design or large forms look good when combined with a simple manicure. Natural colour of your nails will direct the attention of onlookers to the unique piece. Don’t spend too much time on drawing intricate pictures and designs on your nails either. If the ring has a very active form, the most you should do is experiment with the colour of the nail polish. With complex rings without any gems you can try wearing a bright hue to add some colour to the appearance of your hands.

Stylish travel jewelry cases you will love
Traveling is fun when you don’t have to go through the stress of packing and unpacking but is it really possible? Not so much.
It’s worse when you have to pack tiny stuff like accessories and you really don’t know where to put them.
a chic accessory case will keep all of your gems securely organized and stored in your luggage.
Jewelry cases are similar to cosmetic pouches except they often feature separate bars for rings and earrings. Most are lined with a fabric like suede or velour, which saves the accessories from scratches and keeps them clean and shiny.

Shine with diamante earrings
What’s the best way to make your dressing pop? The right accessories of course.
Your choice of earrings would make or mar that choice greatly. Diamante earrings are your go-to earrings when your goal is to shine.
Costume rather than fine jewellery, diamante earrings are set with flashy, beautiful diamantes, or replica diamonds. Diamantes can be big and bold in ways that most real diamonds aren’t, and diamante earrings are seldom understated. You see why we say they are your go-to options when you want to shine.
Diamante earrings come in many different designs set in silver or gold, with other stones included, and with diamantes ranging over many different colours, sizes, and cuts. They’re sure to draw plenty of attention no matter the design.
So would you rock them?

Brooches – dos and don’ts
Hello ladies we don’t know what you think but we believe that a brooch is like a fairy god mother that adds the final touch to your dress and makes you look glam. Except you don’t use it well. Lots of us have brooches and have used them a number of times but we doubt you know the tips we are dishing out today. Here are a few do’s and don’t when it comes to this seemingly small but powerful fashion accessories.
Do: Experiment with your brooch. You don’t have to use it the same way every time. Put it on a dress, scarf, hat, jeans, jacket or shoes – see where you like it the most. Most people wear their brooch on the left side but nothing stops you from doing it completely differently. It’s up to you.
Don’t put a heavy brooch on a thin dress else you’re asking for unattractive saggy creases.
Do: Spend some time when choosing a brooch, compare similar style brooches, pay attention to the general feel of it.
Don’t buy a brooch if it doesn’t match any of your clothes. Brooch is an accessory for a dress, not the other way.
Do: Experiment with your old brooches, you might re-discover them if you wear them in a new and unusual way.
Don’t be afraid to add new brooches to your collection and give the old ones away.
It’s never late to own a brooch. Every woman should have several brooches to go with different looks, but in any case, at least one for the formal dress and another for casual wear. Don’t have any? We can help solve that.
