Bold, chunky designs have been popular in women’s jewelry lately for their striking appearance. However, there’s also a growing trend toward minimalism: understated luxury is taking the place of logo-driven styles and jewelry is following suit.
Picture thin chains that are barely noticeable, slim metal rings or delicate bracelets, worn either alone or stacked. There’s little embellishment; perhaps a single stone or a light texture on the slender band of metal that grazes your skin.
Here’s how to wear fine, delicate jewelry.
Have a Clear Objective
Fine, delicate pieces shouldn’t dominate your outfit. They serve as an accent rather than a focal point, adding a subtle yet elegant sparkle. This allows you to wear multiple pieces without overwhelming your look or drawing too much attention.
Stacking
These pieces are perfect for stacking, but it’s important to focus on one area. Try mixing and matching without going to extremes. Stick to one type of metal, but avoid large stones and bulky designs.
Options include:
- Rings: A set of thinner rings in varying widths adds subtle details to your look.
- Necklaces: Play around with textures, combining different chain types and incorporating one or two smaller pendants. Varying lengths allows each chain to stand out and prevents tangling.
- Bracelets: Create an understated stack by combining multiple chains and bangles of a single metal on one wrist.
Think About Length
Shorter styles, excluding rings, often don’t stand out as much. To ensure finer jewelry makes an impact, focus on length. Choose longer pieces like dangling earrings or ear climbers, or create a layered look by combining necklaces of varying lengths, with a few longer ones to add definition.
Mix Metals
The thinner shape of fine, delicate jewelry lends itself to mixing metals. Stay within a defined group of tones – for instance, silver, white gold and platinum for their shimmering sheen – or two contrasting tones for an even balance.
When mixing metals, avoid spreading them across your entire outfit. Instead, concentrate on one area: stacking bracelets, layering necklaces or wearing multiple rings on one hand. Keep the sizes, shapes and details of each piece consistent to prevent one metal from overshadowing the others.
In Relation to Clothing
For a balanced and slightly elevated look:
- Be mindful of your shirt’s neckline. Any necklace should be long enough to clearly overlap or short enough that it falls above.
- Fine, more delicate jewelry pops against light, sheer and solid-color fabrics but becomes invisible against patterns and textured materials.
- Make sure the metals complement the colors of your outfit.
- If wearing a pattern, consider layering multiple finer pieces so they look more prominent.
