How to combine necklaces and bracelets for a stylish effect?

It's easy to forget that jewelry is much more than just an ornament. These accessories are part of our overall style and appearance and an expression of our individuality. If you search online, you'll probably come across a lot of advice on how to match your jewelry with the clothes you're wearing, but many people don't realize how complicated it can be to combine the different accessories you wear with each other. Here we are faced with the question: How do I maintain my style and harmonize my overall look? Below we will look at a few basic tips that will be your joker when selecting and combining bracelets and necklaces. Follow them and you will easily find a balance regardless of whether you have a more extravagant or a more refined style.

1. Size/Volume Balance

There is a reason why we are subconsciously attracted to symmetry. Its complement, in terms of clothing and accessories, is visual balance. With it, we are not necessarily looking for mirroring of size and shape, but rather a correct assessment of the visual weight of a given piece of jewelry. Balance a massive necklace with large natural stones, with a more refined and simple bracelet, something made of light and fine metal, with small and uniform stones or even beads.

Conversely, if you're the type of person who likes to wear multiple bracelets at once, it's probably better to stick to a very simple necklace. Or even not wear one at all.

Example: the combination of a necklace with a large druzy stone with a thin and unobtrusive hematite bracelet is a great balance and is not flashy.

2. Various elements, as a whole, of the integrity of your style

When choosing individual pieces of jewelry, keep them thematically similar in style, but different enough to complement each other. Here are a few examples:

• Boho agate necklace combined with an agate bracelet;
• Pearl necklace paired with a fine gold bracelet / bracelet with gold elements;
• A simple necklace with a small quartz crystal as the main accent, worn together with a bracelet with quartz of different textures;

If you follow the above formula, you can easily achieve a sense of completion to your look, but also maintain the individuality of your style - it won't look like the jewelry is a ready-made set bought from the store.

3. Color harmony is everything

Probably the most obvious tip on this list – jewelry should match the colors of your clothes. And then match the colors of your clothes with the colors of your jewelry. Here are a few easy ways to achieve this:

• Opt for jewelry that is in the same color range. This will give your look an exceptional softness. Example – rose quartz and opal.
• Contrasting tones will achieve the opposite effect of the above. Use them when you want to show your energetic and emotional nature. Example – turquoise and sunstone.
• Be careful when combining different metal elements – they need to be combined correctly. The different tones of silver, gold and copper need to be balanced properly.

4. The season matters. Clothing matters too.

Usually, the current season plays a fundamental role in the clothing we wear, and in turn, the jewelry we wear. The same applies to the occasion or social situation we dress for.

• Allow yourself to experiment during the summer and the warm spring and fall months. Opt for agate, turquoise, or sunstone;
• During the colder part of the year, look for slightly more muted and muted colors – onyx, hematite, and jasper;
• In the office/at work – look for a more austere and clean look with neutral natural stones such as pearls or quartz;
• For a formal occasion, especially an evening one, you can add even more style with a little sparkle (literally). Druzy, pyrite, or crystal will work great for the occasion.

5. Build your own jewelry “modules”

The best looking people are the ones who experiment with their looks (within reason, of course). Use a little trick and create jewelry/natural stone combinations that are themed. For example:

• Energy and protection – wear a tiger's eye necklace and an onyx bracelet;
• Love and harmony – rose quartz on the necklace, combined with a bracelet including moonstone;
• Freedom and carefree - pearls and turquoise are a wonderful combination, especially if you are looking for a slightly nautical theme;

Building your own ready-made combinations of natural stone jewelry will allow you to easily choose what to wear according to the occasion and situation, but you will also be able to easily escape the trap of repetitiveness.

6. Intuition is your best friend

Trust your instincts and your inner voice for style and vision. “Rules” and tips for matching jewelry help, but you’ll be surprised at how many wonderful combinations you can find if you experiment, casually following your fashion intuition. Listen to it, even when the combination breaks the fashion norm. If you like how a necklace and bracelet go together – wear them together. Style should serve you, not you it.

Although matching jewelry is an art, a person with taste and their own style can easily find the right combinations of necklaces and bracelets. One of the great advantages of accessories made of natural stones is the variety of colors, shapes, textures, etc. Turn this fact to your advantage and find your exact unique and individual style.
