Jewelry is such a versatile accessory. It doesn’t matter what day it is, the style of your outfit or whether it’s a casual or formal occasion, everyone, everywhere can find suitable jewelry pieces to wear.
From going to work or school to going out for a drink with friends on a Saturday evening to heading out for a date at a trendy restaurant, jewelry is an embellishment that can complement or change an outfit.
And, of course, there are those kinds of special occasions when you are looking for a statement piece of fine jewelry that can stand out from the crowd and bring the word ‘glam’ to the forefront of everybody’s minds!
Whether you want to be more glam at work, more glam at your local bar, or have something like a gala to attend, the latest fashion tips can inspire you on how to use jewelry to cultivate a luxe look.
Here are some of the best tips and hacks that will help you use the contents of your jewelry box to bring that extra touch of glam to whatever you are wearing and whatever you are doing.
Invest In A Pair Of Statement Earrings
You would be amazed at the difference a high-quality pair of earrings can make to your outfit and the way that you feel. Whether you prefer hoop earrings, stud earrings, or even fancy drop earrings, fabulous statement pairs can be found in all styles.
Statement might mean they are bold and bright and draw attention because of their eye-catching colors or design. It might mean they are unusual in shape – geometric shapes can be very impactful. It might be that you have chosen a pair of diamond studs that while simple, flash and shine as the light hits the stone.
One of the easiest ways to curate a glamorous look is to use a little black dress as your base, sweep up your hair and add a pair of statement earrings. It might be minimalist but an LBD with complementary statement earrings is a look that every fashionista has been striving to achieve ever since the heyday of Chanel.
Pick A Few Standout Rings
It can be easy to go overboard and wear too many rings on your fingers, especially if you have to balance them with your engagement ring and wedding ring, and sometimes even an eternity ring.
A more sophisticated and glam way to curate a look for your hands is to select a few cocktail rings that pack a punch and don’t need to be accompanied by a handful of others.
One easy way to work cocktail rings into your look is to wear them on the opposite hand to your wedding ring. This way you do not diminish the aesthetic value of your bridal set on your left hand and you can maximize the impact of your right hand.
Keeping cocktail rings to your right hand also means you don’t have to think about fashion choices clashing or not working with the gemstones on your left hand.
Choose A Classic Initial Pendant
One of the best pieces of jewelry we can think of that displays a sense of fun while still being glam is a classic initial pendant.
One of the most popular types of statement necklaces in the jewelry world ever since Sex And The City, Sarah Jessica Parker’s character Carrie Bradshaw wore her iconic Carrie necklace, and this gave birth to a new swell of popularity in name and initial jewelry of all kinds.
Though a full name piece is fun in its own right, we think that a single initial is much more chic and sophisticated, and will add a touch of glamour to any look. And a big plus is that it will never fall out of your jewelry rotation because you will always have the same first initial!
Choose Outfits To Match Jewelry
Most people will pick an outfit first and then find jewelry to go with it, but we think that you can be equally successful going it the other way around. For example, if you have a beautiful statement necklace that you want to make the focal point of your look, then opt for a blouse or t-shirt that has a suitably low neckline to show it off to its best.
Equally, if you want to stack up a pile of beautiful bangles with a tennis bracelet on your wrists and arms, then pick an outfit with short sleeves or long, close-fitting plain sleeves.
Glam Tip: You can even go as far as turning pieces of clothing into jewelry themselves. A great example of this is to use a chic silk scarf to secure a ponytail rather than tying it around your neck.
Don’t Forget About Body Jewelry
When we say body jewelry, it can mean nose piercings, waist chains, hair embellishments, navel piercings, and anklets.
Choosing body jewelry to glamorize your look depends on the adorned body part being on the show. Though you might wear a special ankle chain, its effect is lost if your feet are snuggled in a pair of winter boots.
Like all more conventional pieces, there is a massive range of styles and designs for body jewelry. There are high fashion and noticeable pieces but also pieces made from gemstones and precious metals. When visible, they can have a great impact on a look.
Glam Tip: Consider Gemstone stud earrings for a timeless style and pop of color that will add definition and fashion that is a quick win.
Collect High-Quality Vintage Pieces
Something that can always be effortlessly glam is when you find a hidden vintage treasure that isn’t like anything anybody else is wearing right now. There is something about vintage jewelry that exudes more class and stature than you can find in the current stock of brand-name jewelers.
Build a collection of high-quality vintage pieces that you can incorporate with your less expensive, more ‘common’ jewelry and you will find that your looks go from great to sensational in no time at all.
Final Thoughts
As Olympia Dukakis (as Claree Belcher) says in Steel Magnolias “The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize.” Use your eye for detail and color to collect jewelry that works with your wardrobe. Curate a collection of pieces that enhance with subtlety and others that make a bold statement. When you want to glam up your outfit, the perfect piece will undoubtedly be in your jewelry box that will instantly make you feel fancy.
