Gold is a metal that has always been fashionable. Even in the 90s, when “white gold” and silver were seen are less tacky, real jewelry connoisseurs knew that gold jewelry would keep its value and remain classically beautiful for the wearer.
If you have a statement piece of gold jewelry – in particular, a gold necklace – you may be wondering how to style it with other accessories and your outfit to really show it off. Whether you’re wearing it to a special occasion, a dressy occasion, a casual occasion, or even a formal occasion, you want to wear it on point with your outfit.
This article will help you to become more than just a casual gold jewelry appreciator. It will help you become an authority on gold jewelry styling!
What Event Are You Wearing It With?
Some of the most common outfits for this necklace include business professional attire, prom dresses, cocktail dresses, evening gowns, and bridesmaids’ dresses.
If you are wearing this piece for the first time at an important event, remember that – since any piece of jewelry is unique and has its own personality – no two pieces are exactly alike.
Quirky Is Good
There’s a misconception that all gold jewelry needs to look vintage or posh. Expert jewelers like Katie Waltman have a great selection of more quirky jewelry (and more traditional) pieces that work really well with a look that embraces creativity.
If you wear a more creative necklace with a fun t-shirt or a large scarf, that will take attention away from the necklace. Wear the necklace with an outfit that has some extra flair to it. If you are dressing up, make sure the “extra flair” is in your accessories.
Your Other Jewelry For The Day
For your gold necklace, you need to have a coordinated look. In general, you should not mix gold with silver or platinum. This will not create an appealing look.
If you are wearing earrings, go for either gold or pearl. The combination of silver and pearl works well though pairs with a necklace that has a touch of pink in the gold for a color contrast with the gray palette of pearls.
When shopping, you should look for a matching set so all your accessories complement each other. This is very helpful in creating a beautiful look with your outfit and jewelry pieces.
Dress Colors That Work With Gold
Gold jewelry can be worn in a variety of colors. The most classic color to pair it with is white, which befits the color of the metal itself. However, there are several other colors you can also wear gold with effectively.
Bright colors work best for a gold necklace that you want to really stand out. If you have a bright-colored dress or a nice floral pattern, why not try wearing gold jewelry with that? You will love the way the two colors create a contrast against each other.
