Matching Everything Perfectly

Sometimes in an effort not to clash, people go to the other extreme, taking careful pains to ensure that everything matches. The color of the jewelry matches the color of the shirt matches the color of the shoes. Long chains with v-neck tops or collar necklaces with crewnecks. This can be a mistake as much as an outlandish mismatch. It looks boring and contrived. You should always try to mix things up a little: instead of matching colors, go for complementary colors. Find a necklace in a slightly different style from your top for a touch of character.

Over- or Under-Accessorizing

If you’re putting on jewelry, presumably you’re about to leave the house. Where are you going? To work? Out to dinner with friends? To a fancy cocktail party or the opera? Each situation calls for a different dress code. If you’re wearing a t-shirt and jeans and you’re about to head to the park, you don’t need a pearl necklace, and if you’re going to a fancy cocktail party, plastic panda shaped earrings probably aren’t your best bet.

Mismatching Tones

Even if you want to play with styles, you’re probably going for an overall tone. If you’re wearing a softer outfit, like a sundress, avoid anything too angular and harsh. If you want a chill, effortless sort of look, you don’t need long, dangly earrings or statement necklaces.

Statement Pieces with Loud Patterns

You want your statement piece to make a statement, not to start an argument with the rest of your outfit. It should be the only part of your outfit that makes a statement to help it truly stand out. So if you’re wearing a leopard print dress or a ruffled blouse, go with a simple, thin chain, nothing too bulky and flashy. On the other hand, if you’re wearing a top with a plain pattern, a statement necklace is just what you need to give it more personality.

Too Much Jewelry

Just because you have 10 different pieces of jewelry that all go with that outfit doesn’t mean you need to wear all of them at once. Too much jewelry, even too much jewelry that matches the outfit, will look tacky and loud and no one will notice your cute outfit. Instead, choose 2-3 pieces that really enhance your favorite aspects of the outfit.

Forgetting the Weather

Is it cold and blustery out? You’ll probably need a scarf, which is going to cover up that thick but short turquoise necklace, and if you’ll be wearing a sweater the whole time only loose bracelets will do you any good. On the other hand, if it’s warm, you’ll be wearing less so there’s more to accessorize.

Clashing Colors

So, you don’t want to be matchy-matchy, but you do want to look coordinated. You should certainly mix colors, but don’t clash them. One big no-no is the combination of red and green any time that’s not the holidays. As a rule, anything more than 3 colors is too many.

Wearing the Wrong Neckline

Coordinating your necklace and your neckline is vital. If you want to wear a statement necklace, avoid collars or tops with too much detail close to the face and instead try crew necks or v-necks. A long, thin chain or a lariat, on the other hand, looks terrific underneath a Peter Pan collar.

Shirking Professional Dress Code

Just because jewelry and an outfit come together attractively doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to wear that everywhere. Many professional workplaces have rules against types of piercings or large hoop earrings. You should also avoid wearing bangles to work–they’re loud, unprofessional-looking, and disruptive to coworkers.

Wearing Jewelry Out

Finally, it might be that your jewelry is simply past its prime. If it’s started to chip or rust or it’s just fallen out of fashion, it’s time to send it off to Goodwill (or retire it in your jewelry box if you feel it may be coming back soon) and find new jewelry. Try something like Harrisons Collection jewelry that will stay in style for years to come: classy and elegant, but full of personality. It looks great with any outfit and especially looks great layered.

Women can even expend a big amount of money on jewelry. I still memorize that my mom also used to hoard money for a couple of months and then would buy a piece of gold or diamond jewelry. And with the time, she managed to fill a medium size box with trinkets…

Weddings and Anniversaries

The ultimate jewelry gift, the one she will wear throughout her married life, is a bride’s wedding ring. This may be part of a set, paired with a matching engagement ring. Sometimes a wedding band for the groom is also part of the package. The bride’s engagement ring traditionally sports a gorgeous diamond, but the inside of the band is where the heartfelt sentiment is found: the initials, perhaps a short message, and the date that the couple’s married life began. The wedding couple may not be the only recipients of jewelry on the wedding day: bridesmaids and groomsmen often receive small gifts, and items like pendants, earrings or tie clips are particularly appropriate.

Holidays

Through the year, holidays offer a chance to present a loved one with a gift of jewelry. Valentine’s Day is a classic occasion for a present to dazzle the eyes and win the heart of the loved one, and Mother’s Day is the perfect chance to offer Mom a gift of thanks for all she does. Jewelry set with the birthstone of each of the recipient’s children is particularly thoughtful. Father’s Day lets families offer the same sort of gift of appreciation to Dad. Memorial Day and Veterans’ Day are great times for presents of jewelry to the soldiers, sailors and veterans in our lives.

Graduation

Graduates are starting a new phase of their lives, whether the school they are leaving is college, high school, junior high or even kindergarten, and their special day deserves to be remembered. Fond parents or grandparents can surprise a son or daughter with a small piece of jewelry to wear to the graduation ceremony. A group of friends may design a special bracelet for a new graduate with charms representing her new career as well as one commemorating the day of her graduation.

Sweet sixteen, quinceañera and other birthdays

Whether it is the bat mitzvah or bar mitzvah, the sweet sixteen or the quinceañera or any other birthday, the celebrant will welcome a new piece of jewelry. A young girl may get her first pearls or a ring or bracelet inscribed with the date. Youngsters celebrating b’nai mitzvah are a bit younger at thirteen. They might like less formal jewelry, either a piece with a Jewish theme or something that commemorates the birth date itself, like a moonglow moon bracelet that depicts the moon phase for that date.

Christenings, first communion and confirmation

Rites of passage of a particular religious congregation are natural occasions for a jewelry gift. Religious medals and pendants can make a personal statement, as can a thoughtfully chosen rosary. B’nai mitzvah, the celebrations of Jewish children’s’ thirteenth birthdays, are also good times to give carefully selected jewelry. The parents of a child being christened will appreciate baby jewelry.

Special days are the occasions for special gifts. A gift of jewelry shows not only how special the recipient is, but also how thoughtful the donor is. Try a gift of jewelry for the next special occasion, and watch a loved one’s eyes light up.
