How to Keep your Jewellery Subtle,Stylish



Less is more. It's a style commandment to remember when you are teaming Indian jewellery designs with modern chic.

Jewellery can make a basic outfit look complete or a fashionable outfit look outdated. Take a cue from Hollywood actresses Megan Fox, Jennifer Lopez, Kristen Bell, Beyonce, Penelope Cruz andRachel McAdams. They are setting trends with exotic bangles, cuffs and diamond earrings from Indian jewellery designers like Amrapali and Farah Khan, on the international red carpet. Bollywood stars like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan,Sonam Kapoor, Bipasha Basu and Kangna Ranaut are doing an impeccable job of pairing desi designs with their gowns at public appearances overseas.

The rule of one
When picking jewellery before stepping out, it is a good rule of thumb to limit yourself to only one large piece, keeping the other items (if any) much smaller. You don't have to wear all the jewellery you own! Consider the cut of the dress to decide what trinkets to wear. For instance, if you are going sleeveless, a more embellished bracelet may be the right choice.

Match it to your face
Match your jewellery to the shape of your face, including your neckline. For instance, if you have a round face, select jewellery in elongated shapes such as diamonds. If your face is narrow, try hoop earrings. Also wear jewellery proportionate to the size of your face. So, if you have a small face, wear diminutive baubles such as solitaires or something with a simple design. If your face is larger, you can wear bigger pieces, which won't overpower your face. If you have a long neck, wear chokers or pendants to accentuate your neckline. If you are not sure of what baubles best suit your outfit, it's never too late to learn.

Earrings
Changing the way you wear earrings can change your entire look. If you have above-average height and a fine swan neck, don't hesitate to wear long dangling earrings. However, if you are petite, make small earrings your friends; they won't weigh you down. Chunky button earrings, especially with a studded gem, look fabulous. Large hoops look great with flowing skirts and tank tops; the open shoulder highlights the earring.

On a sheath dress
The statement necklace - a colourful, elaborate necklace made with beads, crystals and other materials - is enjoying a streak of success right now. It's a perfect accessory for a sheath dress.
For a retro glam look, hit the flea market for vintage brooches with sparkling imitation gemstones. If your sheath dress has a V-neck, try placing a large brooch at the base of the V. However, if the neckline is rounded or boat-shaped, place the brooch to one side.

Ring
Wear a slim diamond ring on your ring finger. Never wear two or more rings on the same finger. Rings with a gemstone of over 10-carat are usually worn on the fore finger. If you are baring slim arms and fingers in a sexy dress, wear a small exquisite 2-carat piece.

Jewellery set
If you have a set consisting of a bracelet, ring, necklace and earrings, follow this principle: earrings+bracelet or necklace+ring. Avoid wearing more than two rings at a time, if you don't want to look excessive. As for the choice of stone, diamonds are best suited for the evening.

Bracelet, bangles and cuffs
If your bracelet has segments without a gem in the centre, wear it loose on your arm. Conversely, if your bracelet is adorned with gems in the centre, don't let it dangle on your arm. You might also try several small-layered bracelets or bangles. If you are dressing in a pantsuit, it is best to stick with small discreet tennis bracelets or none at all.
