Jewellery depending on... occasion

Benjamin Franklin once said, “Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong at the tempting moment”. The first part of the same rule applies for jewellery wearing – there should be the right jewellery in the right place. The second part of the rule is also worth of attention – you better take of your sparkling cocktail ring when going for shopping, even if this is your favorite one and you want everyone to know that you are the owner of this beauty. Smile.

For an everyday wear in business world choose gold and silver earrings and silver necklaces. These pieces of jewellery should be rather small so that they would not compel your collocutor. All metal accessories should be of the same color, since it is seldom that gold and silver are in harmony with each other.
Leisure wear allows you for a combination of accessories of a varied forms, materials and colors. However, always consider the image you are trying to achieve. Would you like to look romantic, athletic or are you going to posh party?

Bear in mind, that necklaces with diamonds or other precious stones should not be worn during the day.
Neck jewellery should match your neckline. Your bracelets and bangles should be chosen not only according to each other but also according to the necklace.

Never forget that the choice of your jewellery should depend not only on the occasion or your mood, but also on the environment you are going to be in. Some gemstones are susceptible to sudden temperature changes (e.g. topaz earrings, garnet, peridot pendants, rhodolite, tanzanite, tiger‘s eye, tourmaline), some to strong light (e.g. kunzite (spodmene), scapolite, zircon) and some to excessive heat (e.g. rhodochrosite, yellow beryl (heliodor)).
