Then mid-length necklaces that contain pendants or medallions are added next. The longest chain necklaces are then layered on top to drop down from the neck line to elongate it. Fine gold necklaces can be added into the layering to give a sophisticated finish to any look and complements complex colored skin tones.

There are many different necklaces to choose from! Close fitting chokers such as those featuring a gemstone or medallion are very flattering on women. The longer, flowing chain can be used as a great base layer to add depth to your outfit and can be dressed up or down. For a more sophisticated look, mid length necklaces featuring subtle fine gold necklaces can add glamour to any outfit and flatter most skin tones.

When it comes to mixing different textures in your necklaces, the variety of options is endless. Smoothened herringbone chain can be paired well with cable link chain or even beaded satellite chain. There are many other variations and it’s up to you to experiment and find the best possible combination that will flatter your figure without over-accessorizing.

Curating a Harmonious “Ring Stack”

As for the art of stacking your fine jewelry, for many women, their fine jewelry is often used to form a Ring Stack of interest. As for following a few rules for styling a Ring Stack, there are very few as you can style your jewelry as you wish. Therefore, with your fine jewelry, you can add or take away a ring as you see fit to create a totally new look.

Mixing bandwidths of bands will create an interesting stacking combination. For example, a very thin band can be paired up with a thicker twist band or band featuring a gemstone. A simpler band can also be paired up with a midi-ring featuring a large gemstone.

Tips for Caring for Your Precious Pieces

By following a few simple steps, your jewelry can last forever and look great while doing so. Fine jewelry is just as prone to damage as any other item and must be treated with the same level of care. Take a few minutes to read through these simple steps to jewelry care and see how easy it is to keep your treasured accessories looking their absolute best.

STORE EACH PIECE OF JEWELLERY INDIVIDUALLY: Microfiber pouches are perfect for storing individual pieces of jewellery such as earrings, rings and delicate chains. Store them separately in a lined jewellery box with anti-tarnish strips to prevent scratching and knotting of chains.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: As previously mentioned avoid wearing fine jewelry when swimming in a chlorinated pool or when using heavy household cleaners. Also avoid hot tubs and spas as the hot water can open up the settings on some pieces and the chemicals in the water can cause discoloration to the precious metal of your jewelry.

Wear Jewelry Last: You also should make sure that you put on your fine jewelry after you have applied all of your makeup, hairspray, perfume, very rich body lotions and creams. Most of these products contain harsh chemicals that can leave a residue on fine jewelry. This residue can dull the finish of your jewelry and could also cause it to tarnish prematurely. If you apply your fine jewelry after you have applied your products with chemicals in them, then you run the risk of those chemicals getting on your jewelry and doing it harm. To prevent this from happening, apply all of your products with chemicals in them before you wear your fine jewelry.

Give it a Wash: Cleaning Your Jewelry to Keep it Sparkling. The washing of fine jewelry requires the greatest of care to avoid possible damage. Soaking your jewelry in a simple solution of water and a fragrance-free dish soap is all that is required. Every few weeks, just place your jewelry in a bowl of warm water with one drop of dish soap and let it soak for a few minutes. Using a soft-bristled baby toothbrush, gently scrub around any stones. Also use this brush to clean off any trapped cosmetics. Rinse each piece of jewelry thoroughly and then allow it to air dry on a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth. This simple process will help keep your precious jewelry pieces looking their best and prevent damage from oils and lotions that can leave a dull film on the surface of your accessories.

Transitioning Effortlessly from Day to Night

A common misconception of fine jewelry is that it can only be worn formally. But, actually, the best fine jewelry is worn every day. Just as a piece of fine jewelry can look different from day to night, it can also look different from one day to another. To instantly update a look from day to night, simply add a few pieces of statement jewelry to the jewelry you’re wearing. For example, a thick architectural cuff, a tailored blazer, or a pair of chandelier earrings can provide great contrast to a delicate gorjana gold ring that you wear every day.

It is rare for a girl to swap her jewelry completely for evening wear, often one piece of fine jewelry can be mixed in with more evening wear focused items to make a stylish change from day to night wear.
