There are rules that dictate how best to wear your jewelry and how best to coordinate your outfit to it. Unfortunately, while these rules were still well-known until the first half of the 20th century, they have now gone forgotten. The jewelry etiquette is not something that young girls are taught at school anymore! Don’t panic, here’s a summary of the main things you need to know to let your blings and your wedding rings shine again.

However, don’t over-play the fake factor. While faux-stones are a do, fake designer bags and clothes are a complete no go. When you buy jewelry, if it often better to invest in one good item than to pick hundreds of low-quality one. However, there’s one thing you can make the most of and it’s clip-on earrings. Not only do cheap ones look very stylish, but you can clip them onto a simple blouse for an instant embellishing touch that will change your outfit for the best.
