No matter how put together your outfit is, nothing quite finishes up a look like the perfect pair of accessories. Sometimes matching your jewelry can be a little daunting - there's a fine line between too much and just enough - but with a few basic tips to keep in mind you'll get the hang of it in no time!

Let's focus on smaller accessories like earring and rings - more often than not these adornments are bejeweled with sparkly stones and come in a whole host of colors and sizes. While plenty of matching sets are available on the market, don't be shy when it comes to branching out and trying some unique pairings of your own. Below you can find some easy advice to keep it classy (and avoid tacky!):

Tip 1#: Color Stories

Color stories are definitely a winner by most fashion standards and can compliment an outfit beautifully. Find a a pair of earrings that draws your attention or a ring that catches your eye and observe it carefully. What color is the metal? What color is the stone? These little details will be your markers when choosing jewelry that complements your piece! If you have an emerald ring, as an example, try to find earrings with the same color or type of stone. If you're going for a more minimalistic approach, find a pair of dainty earrings in the same metal as your ring to bring light to your face and highlight your features.

Tip 2#: Themes

If you're feeling creative, you can get a little more adventurous and create a theme with your jewelry. This is a great way to express yourself in an unconventional way that is sure to make you stand out from the crowd! If you have a pair of moon shaped earrings you adore, why not pair this with a star-encrusted ring? This makes for a boho-chic look which is super on trend! A vine-inspired ring makes for the perfect companion coupled with some floral earrings - dreamy, romantic and a great addition to your date night outfit.


Tip 3#: More is more!

Sometimes one ring or one set of earrings isn't enough! A curated stack of rings or a carefully put together set of earrings can really catch the eye and add just the right amount of sparkle. When selecting your jewelry, don't be afraid of mixing different metals but try to avoid mixing more than two and stick to the same metals when selecting both your earrings and rings. If layering, it's best to keep each piece simple and relatively small - this will keep everything looking balanced without being over the top. Keep in mind your rings don't necessarily need to be on the same finger or even on the same hand - you can also buy pinky rings and midi rings which usually sit higher up the finger for a more sophisticated vibe (you can easily achieve the same look with any ring of your choosing by getting a size two sizes smaller than your usual). The same rule applies to earrings, and while not everyone has more than one pair of ear piercings, there are plenty of ways to get creative (that don't involve any needles!) and always remember to reference back to your other accessories for a finished look.

Hopefully the tips above help you feel more confident when curating a look - there are millions of different jewelry combos so be sure to experiment and most importantly: have fun!
