Jewelry Curation Made Easy

If you want a bold fashion statement, then you'll need the best jewelry curation. First, you'll want to start by buying good quality jewelry. The best jewelry is going to be gold or silver.

However, there are now alternatives in the market that are more budget-friendly. For example, gold plated, or metal-finishing jewelry are all affordable options.

You can also opt for an in-house designer from a brand like Annapolis Jewelers. This option lets you design your necklaces, rings, or bracelets. Once you have your jewelry pieces, the fun can begin!

How to Mix and Match Jewelry

Whether you're a silver or gold jewelry lover, these tips will work the same. First, you'll want to take a dainty, and smaller necklace. Preferably a 6- to 7-inch-long necklace with at least 1 mm of width. 

This will serve as your base layer. Therefore, it should fit tightly around the neck area and fall right about the heart space. Next, grab a 12 to 16-inch necklace.

This will be your statement piece. Ensure this necklace has an added touch like a name, gemstone, or diamond pendant.

If you really want a fun fashion statement, add a third necklace. Preferably, a shorter necklace that is chunkier in width.

All of these necklaces will flow beautifully together, especially if they are from the same brand! Lastly, ensure your necklaces are clean as this will help with your overall appearance.

Mix-and-Match Rings

Rings are also an important aspect to remember when layering jewelry. You can mix and match your rings in many ways.

For starters, not all rings have to be the same finish as your necklace. For example, you can wear silver rings with gold necklaces and vice versa.

However, if you like a more uniform look then you can stack your rings for a fashion statement. Start by getting your daintiest ring and put it on a pointer finger. 

Then take 2 stackable rings and place them on your ring finger. If you're engaged or married, use your right hand! 

The three-ring combo technique will give the appearance of a concise look on the hands.
