Earrings and necklaces seem like a combination made in heaven, but have you ever put on a stunning pair of hoops, only to realise that your necklace is competing for attention? Or maybe you’ve tried on a statement pendant necklace and all of a sudden your earrings blend into the background. That’s because jewellery, much like accessories and clothes, needs to be mixed and matched correctly to make every piece shine.
Different earrings work with different necklaces, and today, we’ll help you take the guesswork out of accessorising and give you a guide to the best combinations for every event on your calendar.
Everyday Combo: Stud Earrings and a Delicate Pendant NecklaceWhen you’re choosing your jewelry for everyday wear, you are looking for two things: comfort and versatility. You want a timeless combination that looks good in any setting, doesn’t feel overdone, and doesn’t cause any discomfort, so you won’t get the sudden urge to take your earrings or necklace off in the middle of the day. Stud earrings and a delicate pendant necklace are the perfect match, as they always feel classy and draw just the right amount of attention. You can go for simple gold or diamond (we suggest getting lab-grown diamonds since this type of earrings get lost the most) studs and a thin chain necklace with a small charm or a gemstone, and if you want to switch things up a bit, choose huggie earrings for a more modern look.
Date Night: Statement Irish Earrings and a Thin Necklace
A romantic date night always calls for jewelry that feels bold, confident, and elegant, and the best way to achieve this is by making statement earrings the focal point of your look while keeping your necklace simple. Irish earrings are the perfect statement piece, thanks to their bold design with intricate Celtic symbols and colorful gemstones, and they’re the best choice for a date night when you want to look unforgettable. Depending on your face shape, choose dangling earrings with Connemara marbles, an ocean spiral design, or dramatic round earrings with Celtic knots and umber-colored zirconia, and pair them with a thin, barely-there necklace with a solitaire diamond to balance the look. Even better, if your outfit has an open neckline, you can skip the necklace altogether and let your stunning Irish earrings shine. This way, your jewelry won’t feel overpowering and “too much”, transforming a glam outfit into a vulgar look.
Office Look: Small Hoops and Layered Necklaces
Choosing the right accessories for work can be tricky, especially since some offices don’t even allow engagement rings or wedding bands to show. However, if your workplace doesn’t have any strict rules that you need to obey, you should still aim for a look that is professional yet stylish. Stay away from pieces that are too flashy and distracting and give preference to minimalist jewelry that makes you look polished instead. Wearing a pair of small to medium-sized hoop earrings combined with layered necklaces is a great way to express your personal style without risking getting an email from HR. Choose a metal that complements your skintone the best such as gold, silver, platinum, or rose gold and get a pair of thin hoops and two or three dainty necklaces in different lengths to create a chic effect.
Music Festival or Party Look: Ear Cuffs and a Bold Choker
When it comes to music festivals, concerts, or parties, that’s when you can go crazy with your jewelry. Your look should be as bold, fun, and expressive as it can get, and these events are the best time to experiment with trendy pieces that make you stand out and that you wouldn’t usually wear. If you have multiple piercings, it’s time to go through the five-minute pain of putting on your boldest earrings, and if you don’t, then ear cuffs and mismatched earrings are the perfect solution. Wear them with a thick choker or layered chunky chains, and mix metals to create the ultimate edgy look. Plus, since festival outfits are usually super colorful, don’t be afraid to add a few unique charms and beads to the mix to make your jewelry enhance the look.
