Have you ever realized the communicative power of jewellery? Do you know the so-called “Jewellery Etiquette”?

Every choice, every combination, especially if made with care, can help us express our personality or simply make us feel even more beautiful.

Choosing which jewellery to wear might seem very easy, and yet we often end up making mistakes.

Don’t worry! Luckily, Moni Lisa is here to help you sharing with you a few simple rules to follow, according to what we call the “Jewellery Etiquette”.

Ready to take note? Let’s get started.

4 essential criteria to wear jewellery in the right way

Among the main criteria one should take into account when choosing which jewellery to wear, the following ones stand out:

• Essentiality
• Style
• The look you are wearing
• The event where you wear them

Less is more: the basic rule is always sobriety. Never ever exaggerate. It is better to wear few refined pieces chosen with care rather than too many items all at once.

Aiming at quality rather than quantity is always the best idea, especially during the day.

The “Jewellery Etiquette”, in fact, teaches us that it is preferable to wear a maximum of 3 pieces of jewellery together.

Yes to parure of earrings, necklace and ring, but always be careful when adding further items that are not part of it, or that differ from the style of the other jewellery pieces you choose to wear.

It goes without saying that, if you are wearing a very important necklace, it would be a good idea to avoid flashy earrings or, at least, choose smaller ones.

When you choose to wear rings, the ideal would be not to wear more than one ring per each hand.

Another essential point when choosing jewellery is to think about one’s personality and natural features, including aspects such as armocromia and the shape of your face.

Regarding these aspects, you can refer to our blog where you can retrieve other interesting articles, so that you have all the information to help you in your choice!

Never choose jewellery that is too far from your personality. Always dare, but remain true to yourself.

Third main point: choose an appropriate look.

Do you feel like wearing jewellery in bright, vivid colours? Then it is preferable to opt for a plain-coloured look. This will allow you to show off a more coloured piece of jewellery.

However, if you choose to wear an outfit rich in colours, it would better to avoid items too bright. It is better to choose jewellery with a simple line.

Furthermore, when opting for a particularly eye-catching or eccentric piece of jewellery, it would be better not to wear any other.

Fourth point not to be underestimated: follow the general guidelines that help us classify “day jewellery” and “night jewellery”.

Let’s get to the point!

During the day, choose to wear pearls, rings with more delicate stones and not too extravagant designs (stones such as coral, turquoise, aquamarine, jade, etc. are ideal).

The “daytime” dress code better matches with materials such as gold (in all its shades) and semi-precious stones. Keep in mind that it is always best to avoid decorating a daytime outfit with too much jewellery.

And what about the evening?!

Better to opt for a look that is more refined, luminous, but still delicate. Yes to diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and rubies but keep in mind that even in the evening, the rule of essentiality and sobriety is always a must!

Now that you know the general guidelines to help you choose which jewellery to wear, you are ready to try new combinations. By following these small but important rules of the “Jewellery Etiquette” you will never miss a shot!
