8 Things to Consider When Choosing Jewelry to Match Your Dress

Are you caught up between many options on how
to accessorize your look? Is it your wedding or just a mere chance to make up?
Do not worry, it will go down well. As much as your dress is the main focus, it
does not hurt to take a critical eye to your accessories as well. How you
accessorize your main garment can make or break your look. Many celebrities
such as Kim Kardashian have done it before and have proven it is easy.

8 Things to Consider When Choosing Jewelry to Match Your Dress


Here are
eight tips on how to make your look stand out:
  • 1.     The Color of your Dress

For the case
of a wedding dress, not every bride walks down the aisle in a white dress for a
fact. Slight variations in the hue can make a difference for your skin tone.
After finding the right fabric to match yours, you have to consider which
metals appear best with each color family.

Crisp White
– For a pure white dress, it will look way much flashy with gold. You may find
accessories with muted, cooler hues such a pearl and platinum.

Ivory – Many
gowns fall under this category. Ivory’s warmth flatters more skin tones.
  • 2.     The Dress’s Neckline

You will
have to consider the specific cut of your dress. For example, as a thumb rule,
your necklace should never overlap the neckline of the dress.
V-Neck – A
pendant necklace completes the look of a V-Neck. For a fact, a simple chain   and stone is enough to complete the elegance
of the cut of your dress.

Halter – For
a dress of this style, wearing a necklace would break the cardinal rule of
necklace wearing. Instead, go for earrings and bracelets.
  • 3.     Your Veil Vision and Hair

It does not
matter whether you poured over bridal magazines or made the ultimate bridal
board on Instagram, you still have your veil and hair vision for the big day.
These game changers should be kept in mind. For instance, you would not pair
simple diamond rings or studs with huge waves you wear down. Go for bracelets
and necklaces instead.


  • 4.     Personal Style

How would
you want to look when walking down the aisle or attending a big conference meeting?
You should try out a bunch of styles to see what works out or seek more
specific pieces of jewelry that match your vision.
  • 5.     Tungsten Rings

Tungsten Rings And Wedding Bands offer a
variety of sleek styles at affordable prices. Tungsten rings are made of
Carbide. They have a light gray color which can be darkened by brush finishes.
The rings have moderate heat and electricity conductivity. If this is a great
concern for you, you may opt for a wooden band or a stainless steel ring or
remove them when working in an area where heat and electricity pose a safety
issue.



Black Tungsten Rings
They are made
with a plate over natural grey tungsten. It is unfortunate that any type of
plate scratches. They are not recommended for wedding functions. There is an
exception however. Titanium Kay launched a new tungsten carbide ring recently,
which is scratch proof.

Pros of
Tungsten Wedding Bands:
·       
They are durable than other traditional bands
·       
They are resistant to tarnish and corrosion
·       
They are available in a variety of finishes; darker gray brush
finish and highly polished mirror finish

What are the cons of tungsten carbide rings?
The major disadvantage is that these rings are not resizable. If you are
looking for a wedding ring metal that is re-sizable, the cobalt chrome may be
the best of options.
  • 6.     Cover It Up

From capelets
to fur stoles and boleros -The list is endless. The key thing is to choose one
item that suits your dress. Simple styles such as beaded capelets and a bold
sequined or feather bolero can be paired to boost your look in a more
sophisticated way.
  • 7.     Think Beyond Earrings, Bracelets and Necklaces

You may opt
for sash or belt. A good fashionable belt is formidable since you will change
your look in a less expensive way. Whether you go with a metallic belt or a
satin sash, it will give your garment an instant upgrade.


  • 8.     Tip Off your Hair

From
fascinators to combs, there are other many ways to improve your look. Choose
the best hairstyle before picking accessories. A flower crown with a locker may
work best for you.

Agreed that beauty is skin deep but with help
of the accessories above you can look gorgeous every day.
