Everyone wants to attract attention with their appearance, at least in certain situations. We try to look our best and adjust our appearance to radiate a certain emotion. After all, we are all unique and we also try to act unique. And jewellery is a great way to liven up your outfit and make it something unique. We use different jewellery to complete the overall look and try to create the most perfect outfit together with the jewellery. However, combining different types of jewellery can be difficult and for many of us a really hard nut to crack. If you want to make sure that your look is going to be perfect, here are some ideas on how to combine different types of jewellery.
Combine different types of materials
One way to combine different types of jewellery is to combine different materials. For example, gold and silver jewellery are a great choice that will give your outfit an elegant and modern look. Although until recently, these combinations were a total fashion taboo and combinations of gold and silver made people feel like they should call the fashion police, today such mixing is quite common and popular. However, one should not forget the good old saying "less is sometimes more" and do not overdo it in this case either. Keep in mind that jewellery should match not only in colour, but also in style. With the right outfit, beautiful combinations of simple silver bracelets with those gold ones can add elegance and sophistication to your overall style.
Combinations of metals and coloured stone
If you want to add something unconventional and colourful, you can combine gold jewellery with pearls or coloured stones. A perfect example is using multiple rings on different fingers with a different stone colour. However, do not forget to always stick to the same style of jewellery. Those of us who have more holes in our ears, can combine, for example, more colours of the same earrings and match that way the outfit and jewellery. A combination of gold, silver and coloured stones are also available. For example, you could select several chains of a different length in a similar style. Combine a gold chain with a pendant with other shorter chains, which will be in silver and gold design. That way you are going to achieve a beautiful and unique effect.
Adapt the colour combinations to the event you are going to
When choosing the right combination of jewellery, you should also consider the event you are going to. If you are going for a pleasant night out with friends, a date with a boyfriend or for an evening walk, feel free to experiment and take more risks in combinations. If you feel attractive and confident, extravagance is fine on such occasions.
However, if you are going to a bigger event, such as a ball or a wedding, consider your combinations a little more. Of course, these are cheerful events that bring joy, so a little extravagance doesn't hurt, but there's no need to overdo it. The opposite case is a formal event such as a job interview or a company party or an official banquet. In these cases, choose more discreet combinations that will gently complement and complete your outfit. In these cases, it is ideal to stick to a uniform metal and a single colour stones. Great accessories for these events are, for example, diamond jewellery or white gold jewellery.
Do not forget that the colours must match the type of look
The jewellery you choose should perfectly match your colour and type of look. Combinations of skin, hair and eye colour give simple rules as to which jewellery suits you best. The fact that there are such written rules does not mean that you cannot wear other colours of jewellery according to your preferences, on the contrary - with a little skill, you can combine them beautifully.
Spring type - bright gold
The spring type look has light to ivory skin with a soft beige-pink tinge in the cheeks. Sometimes this type has small freckles. Hair colours are light, from light blond to light brown and hazel. The eyes are blue or green, but occasionally you will also see hazel and gold. Vivid gold colours such as rose gold and yellow gold work best with this type of a look. However, copper jewellery and subtle shades of coloured stones also fit their type. The ideal is the use of diamond jewellery, which will create multi-coloured reflections.
Summer type - elegant silver
Despite the sun, the summer type still has porcelain and light skin tones. The skin colour is also accompanied by a light eye colour ranging from light blue to light green, but occasionally dark brown or chocolate can also be seen. Hair colours vary from blonde to dark brown. Bright and shiny jewellery works best with this type of look. The ideal metal is white gold, silver or platinum. A great combination to metal is the use of pearl, garnet or opal.
Jesenný typ - prírodné farby kovu
The autumn type, together with the summer type, stays in light to ivory skin tones. You will often find pronounced freckles on the face, but the autumn type extends to tanned skin. Eyes go from amber, through coffee and chocolate, to light blue and olive green shades. Hair has a warm and soft tint, most often you'll find darker blonde or chestnut brown. The ideal jewellery for this type of woman is any natural colour. Copper or rose gold may be the way to go. Multicoloured minerals work just as well with this skin type.
Winter type - solid steel
Contrast is typical for this type of look. The skin is very pale and porcelain, the eyes a vibrant blue or black-brown. Hair is in dark colour, black or dark brown. For this type of look, jewellery made of surgical steel, silver and white gold is perfect. Combinations of these metals with a bold coloured stone also work.
Combination of sizes and shapes - focus only on one area
Combining different sizes and shapes of jewellery can be very interesting and eye-catching. You can choose simple and elegant silver earrings and combine them with an imaginative silver necklace that stands out thanks to its unusual shape. This way of combining jewellery allows you to create a perfect and original outfit. In this case, however, the important rule is that we always focus only on one part of the body that we want to highlight. For example, we never combine bold earrings with a bold necklace. This can look overdecorated and unnecessarily cluttered. If you're wearing a deep-neckline dress in a dark colour, tone down the colour with a chunky necklace in white gold or silver, or bold neck fashion jewellery. Of course, choose simpler earrings and a bracelet to go with the chunky necklace. If wearing long sleeves, a simple watch or a silver wrist chain will also suffice.
Use contrast not only in colour
Combining different colours of jewellery can be difficult, but if you decide to use contrasting colours, it can really liven up your outfit. For example, if you are wearing a simple black dress, you can combine it with a necklace or earrings in a bright colour such as red or blue. You will emphasise the overall outfit and it will not look dull. You can use such combinations even on those days when you cannot devote enough time to your outfit. Simple clothes in an ordinary colour with a bold colour of jewellery work perfectly for a casual day at work, but also for a social event.
Combining styles is also a good way to liven up your outfit. Here, however, you must be very careful that the styles of jewellery you combine complement each other and do not clash. You can use combinations of styles, for example, in the case of necklaces and chains. Use a fine gold chain and complement it with a chunkier gold choker or a thicker short chain. Combining simpler and larger rings or various styles of bracelets works just as well.
Combine vintage and modern pieces
Combining vintage and modern jewellery is also very popular. You can combine classic pieces like pearls with modern and minimalist earrings or a necklace. This method of combining jewellery allows you to create a perfect balance between traditional and modern style, which is also eye-catching. When using these combinations, don't forget the coloured stones, which will emphasize the whole combination even more.
Layering as a perfect combination of jewellery
You can also manage combining different jewellery using layering. Combining short and long necklaces can be very interesting and captivating. Layering will allow you to create something interesting and unique, which will also look very elegant and sophisticated. You can layer practically any piece of jewellery. Whether you want to layer bracelets, necklaces or rings, you have a free hand. But don't forget about style.
A specific style of layering is the combination of watches and bracelets. With watches, always choose soft and simple bracelets, so that the watch is the centre of attention. You can also choose more complex and bolder ones, ideally in the same metal as the bracelets.
Since jewellery is a very personal and individual matter, there is no single right way to combine it. The best is to try different options and experiment with different types of jewellery, colours, shapes, and materials to find the one that works best for you. If something seems strange or unconventional to you, don't be afraid to try it, because innovation and creativity may be the key to the perfect combination of different types of jewellery.
