What jewelry to wear at Christmas

Which jewels to wear on Christmas Day or on Christmas Eve? Here are 5 things to know. The first is … ♦ ︎

Jewels for Christmas. Jewels for the day after Christmas. Jewels for the day before Christmas. And then comes the last day of the year, to celebrate possibly with new jewels. What to wear during the flurry of days in which there are dinners, toasts, meetings with relatives and friends, not counting the opportunities related to their work in the company, office, professional studio?

1 The three colors of the parties

No surprise: the colors of winter festivals are red, gold and silver. The important thing is that they shine: no fogged silver, the gold is better yellow or white. And red is not must be just a ruby or coral: there are fun and much cheaper jewels that fit well.

2 You are not the tree

The risk is to exaggerate. Taken from the euphoria of the holiday period, there are women who exaggerate and decorate themselves like the Christmas fir tree, but without lights flashing. The advice, in these cases, is always the same: better a single jewel of quality, that stands out, that many, small and cheap. At least for holidays you can wear those jewels that, perhaps, during the rest of the year are considered too important.

3 Christmas lunch

The jewels are not only designed to be worn in the evening: even in the middle of the day they are pleasant to observe. But, of course, you do not need a diamond necklace to sit down at the table with your family members: gold earrings, or a simple and elegant necklace are enough.

4 The eve dinner

For the Christmas Eve, a dark-colored dress is often worn. In this case, yellow or white gold, but also a silver jewel as long as bright and design, is fine. If, on the other hand, you have chosen a more lively dress, perhaps on red, choose not too large earrings and opt for a generously sized or particularly colored ring. In particular, if the atmosphere is more like a party than a dinner for a few close friends, you can opt for a cocktail ring, possibly with a predominant red hue.

5 Toast with jewels

During the Christmas season there are not only family dinners, but also toast with friends or work colleagues. In this case it is not necessary to show off the most precious jewels. On the contrary, it is advisable to exaggerate: you could arouse envy, a negative and dangerous feeling, or be out of tune with the rest of the company. So, for these occasions, the jewels must be carefully considered: the right way between jewels and expensive pieces is better.

What jewels should I wear for a ceremony as a wedding? Here are 5 tips to choose the right jewelry for an official occasion ♦ ︎

The big day has come: wedding, baptism, awarding, promotion in the company, party for 50 years … There are many ceremonies that can happen and you are protagonist or, in any case, events to which to participate. What jewelry to wear that day? What are the jewels to choose for a ceremony? Which earrings do you choose for a great occasion?

1 Consider the hour

A formal event: it is the moment in which you have to show your best, and this also involves presenting yourself in an appropriate way. Of course, you will choose your most elegant dress. Even better if it is the right dress for that occasion: for example, for a wedding celebrated and celebrated in the countryside you will not show up with an evening dress. Likewise, the choice of jewelry must be consistent with the type of clothing. Sober, classic jewels are worn, like strings of pearls or diamonds for a formal context: in the church, in the town hall for a wedding, at an elegant party in the evening. You can choose more colorful and showy jewels, such as large gold chains, cocktail rings, band bracelets if you are attending an outdoor party, in the afternoon, in the countryside, or in any case in a less formal situation.

2 Pearls and gold always ok

For ceremonies, gold and pearls are always good, both in the afternoon and in the evening. For a ceremony that also includes a subsequent party, large and colored stones are also allowed. In any case, pay attention to the size: jewels are suitable for ceremonies without excesses, not too showy and therefore not too large: the protagonists are you, not your rings, earrings or necklaces. If you are a guest, remember that the rule is not to cast a shadow on the bride or the birthday girl. Moderation is the key word, even when it comes to jewelry: there is no need to demonstrate your wealth or show off jewels that are so precious to make the viewer drop the jaw. If you really care, reserve this vanity on another occasion: at the theater, at a party with friends, at a social event.

3 Let’s adapted yourself to the context

The secret is to use jewelry to add charm and attention. Diamonds are always an excellent choice, but a large necklace with many gems is probably too much for a ceremony that is celebrated in the morning or afternoon. Earrings attract attention to your face, but if they are too large, they focus attention only on the size of the jewel and not on the whole. It is always a rule not to wear large jewels all together. A bracelet made up of many strings of pearls or gold should not be combined with a large necklace: either one or the other. Same thing for the earrings: if they are pendent and very visible they should not rival the necklace, which must be thin and discreet, or it doesn’t have to be there at all.

4 Attention to combinations

Avoid the Christmas tree effect: jewels should not be worn on every part of the body. Better to choose a precious jewel, even very visible, but not in combination with other equally precious pieces. It is also important to coordinate the style: it is better to avoid choosing jewels in white and yellow or pink gold together, unless the effect is specifically designed, or it is jewels composed with different shades of metal. More generally, if you are a guest for a ceremony, white gold is always good, combined with diamonds or soft colored stones, such as aquamarine or a pearl.

5 Observe the proportions

The proportions of the jewelry to the body are also important: jewelry that is too large can suggest to the viewer that you are wearing something that is not yours. A huge ring can be fun for a birthday party, but not to show off at a wedding banquet. Ceremonies are formal events, where a precise etiquette is followed: be careful not to mix too many different styles of jewelry, as well as not wear a dress with different sleeves.

What jewelry to wear on your wedding day? If you are thinking about what to choose besides the wedding ring, read this article. The first rule is … ♦

You have identified the dress. You decided the banquet room. You have found an agreement (tiring) about the guest list. One question remains: which jewels to wear on the wedding day? All right, there’s the wedding ring, but then? If you have any doubts here are 9 useful tips.

1 Match fabrics and gold. Gold also has a color: it can be white, yellow or pink. If the gold color matches that of the dress the effect will be better. Did you think about it? The ivory color of a fabric, for example, is best combined with yellow gold, because it is in nuance with the shade of the fabric. If the dress is candid without shades, it is best combined with white gold or platinum and maybe even with silver, provided it is of design. Beware of pearls: even those small balls can be more or less white and match with the dress. Pink gold goes better with a colorful dress: not all of them are married in white, right? Another thing to keep an eye on: often the wedding dresses are adorned with beads or silver decorations: in this case the jewels must be coordinated with the type of precious decor chosen.

2 We must not overdo it. Even if you have lots of jewels in your drawer, or you have the option to buy them at will, on your wedding day, it’s best not to look like a Christmas tree. It is not necessary to wear diadem, earrings, necklace, bracelet and perhaps other rings at the same time. Better to choose one or two quality jewels, but that are appropriate with the dress. The old “less si more” is also valid when you get married.

3 Earrings only if … You must pay attention to the earrings: not only must they be in tone with the rest of the clothing, but also to the shape of the face. They could also be too much, for example, if you have opted for a very rich tiara.

4 Simple necklace. A necklace is almost obligatory along with a dress with a neckline. A thin chain with a not too big pendant is as good as the classic string of pearls, single or double. Those who have a thin and slender neck can also venture into the choice of a choker, provided that it is coordinated with the dress and does not seem to be found by chance in the jeweltrunk of the grandmother. No necklace, however, in the case of a one-shoulder dress.

5 No watches. The time has come to say “yes”. But just this day is not the case to consult the watch, do you agree? Others will think of telling you not to go too early or late. If you feel the need to wear something on your wrist, better a bracelet that matches your dress. Remember that the hands are very photographed on the wedding day: one more reason for a reasoned choice of the bracelet that must be in tune with the ring.

6 Respect the times. There is nothing worse than to be at the last moment for the choice of jewels: they are a fundamental part of the look for an equally fundamental day of life. Choose and try the pairings at least three months before.

7 Budget. It is not the case to wear so many cheap jewels. If your wallet does not allow you a large expense, better to choose one only, but of quality: it will remain with you the rest of your life and it is a small investment.

8 Tiara yes or not? The diadem in the shape of a small circle or crown, decorated with pearls, precious stones or flowers, is the jewel that is more visible than others. Therefore, great caution is needed in the choice, also because a tiara risks overwhelming the effect of the dress. First of all, the diadem should be coordinated with the dress: for example, if the dress has beads, even the diadem will use pearls. Moreover, it is certainly combined with other jewels: usually a tiara is in silver or white gold. Pay attention that the color corresponds to that of earrings or of the bracelet, if you wear one. Another important point: the diadem must correspond to the quantity and type of hair. Needless to wear a small circle between a mass of curly hair: it will disappear. Finally: it is absolutely necessary to try the tiara first, and with the type of hairstyle of the hair that will be used on the wedding day. When you do the test, wear it for a while, to see if it’s comfortable or turn into a mechanism that causes a headache.

9 Choose the ring. It seems obvious, yet there are those who are reduced at the last moment in choosing the ring to be exchanged at the time of “yes”. It is a mistake: that ring will be the most worn jewel in the years to come, better to weigh well the purchase. It is said that the ring should be a simple yellow gold faith: now there are wedding rings in all three colors of gold. There are also those who choose a ring with colored stones but, in that case, it is more difficult to combine with the dress and everything else. A useful tip: consider the type of work or habitual occupation and choose a ring that allows you freedom of movement or do not risk ruining yourself with daily use.
