When it comes to jewelry, there are a lot of choices, and while diamonds may have been Marilyn’s best friend, fashion jewelry for women includes so much more. How do you determine your own style, and what constitutes the perfect piece of jewelry for you? In order to answer this question, it’s important to look at who you are and how you want to present yourself to the world. You might be fairly consistent in your style, want to express your inner diversity or your ability to roll with the punches no matter what the occasion may be. Here’s some examples of popular styles of jewelry you’ll encounter and tips on deciding if wearing these pieces is right for you.
The Minimalist Style
There is some jewelry that almost seems to blend into a woman’s skin or clothes. The piece may be pretty, but it isn’t something that is likely to attract attention from across the room. Minimalist jewelry is simple, delicate, and classic. It includes things such as simple pearl earrings, a gold chain necklace with a simple charm. Bangle bracelets are also popular choice for those who prefer to be a bit more subdued.
One of the nice things about minimalist jewelry is that it goes with just about everything from jeans and a t-shirt to a little black dress. If you want people to notice you, but you don’t need a parade, minimalist jewelry may be the way to go.
The Ultra-Glam Style
This is a jewelry style that is almost guaranteed to draw attention. Earrings with that chandelier look, necklaces and bracelets with lots of sparkling gems and crystals, or even jewelry that combines gems with flowers or feathers is an example of an ultra glam look. Often, a person with this taste will seek someone to custom design jewelry for them. If you have the personality to pull off this style, you can likely make it work regardless of what you’re wearing; however garments such as a sleek black sweater, or a glitzy metallic tunic are examples of typical apparel that can bring out the unique and elegant statement of this jewelry.
Bohemian Style
The term Bohemian implies a sense of freedom, an anything goes attitude, while conveying a connection to nature. When it comes to fashion jewelry for women, having a Bohemian style will surely display this side of you. This jewelry is filled with colorful semiprecious stones, and other natural materials. Examples can include a stone cuff with gemstones, or a one of a kind layered necklace handmade with novelty items such as seashells, mother of pearl, or various sizes of stones or glass beads. Like those who favor ultra glam style, those that are drawn to Bohemian jewelry aren’t likely to find what they are looking for in a typical department store, so an online boutique is more ideal.
Girly Princess Style
If you’ve fantasized a fairy godmother waving her wand sending you to the ball, you might be a girly girl. This jewelry will feature a lot of: pink, purple, and other pastels, tinted glass beads, ribbons, lace, silver and gold. If you’re committed to the role, you may be able to pull off a tiara. If not, beaded hair accessories are not out of the question.
Tomboy Jewelry
If you’re a tomboy at heart, you probably aren’t looking to sparkle, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy fashion jewelry for women. A coin necklace in gold or bronze, a leather bracelet, or even a masculine style watch are all good ways to accessorize while staying true to who you are.
When it comes to jewelry styles, one style does not fit all! A woman needs pieces in multiple styles in order to be ready with the right jewelry for the right occasion.
