Putting together a look goes far beyond coordinating the style of your shirt with your pencil skirt. What you wear should be a reflection of who you are. It doesn’t matter whether you’re going casual or you’re about to attend the world premier of a famous blockbuster. Sticking with favorite classics isn’t a bad idea either. Of course, there are a few ways you can dress them up to make the fresh again! Jewelry is one of the easiest ways to enhance or change the flavor of your favorite look. Here are just 5 essential pieces you should have to hand:
Earrings
Just like your hair, earrings can beautifully frame your face. They can help enhance your cheekbones and add that little extra sparkle to make your face light up. Studs are simple and easy to wear. They also provide the perfect accessory for that elegant look you’re going for. Drop earrings have become more ornate since last season. Look for shapes with structure and detail that draw the eye. These are perfect for single color outfits as well as busier patterns with a looser fitting.
Necklace
The necklace has a power like no other piece of jewelry. It draws the eye to your most feminine places. Around the neck toward the décolletage, the necklace frames your collar bone, enhances your posture, and tops off any neckline. Many women like to adopt a particular style when it comes to the necklace. When you look at companies like ELF925 jewelry manufacturers you can see just how many there are to choose from. Choker styles look wonderful with a v-neck or plunge top. They can be quite informal. Of course, many of us choose a dropping pendant that leads toward the cleavage in the most stunning of cocktail dresses. What’s your style?
Rings
If you spend a lot of time on your nails, why not invest in some rings that will show them off even more? Rings work really well to elongate the fingers and draw attention to your hands. If you’re in a business meeting, this might not be ideal. Instead, stick to chunky dress rings in social situations. At work, ornate bands with few gems finish any power suit and look incredible with a stiff leather purse.
Bracelets
Charm bracelets continue to be popular, but they’re not always practical. The most formal and professional occasions call for something a little less ‘dangly’! This is where your slimline cuff bracelet could work well. A simple but decorative gold band can also dress up any long sleeve dress sweater. Don’t forget that dress watches can double as beautiful bracelets too. If you love bangles, then why not add them to your three quarter sleeve top this season?
Body Piercings
There is still a lot of stigma surrounding this kind of jewelry. Office-based employers often have rules against visible body piercings. However, if you love to show yours off, pick an outfit that suits the style of the jewelry. Casual wear in bold colors is often best. It’s all about the cut and the length. What do you love to wear most?

I have a some earrings, necklace, rings and bracelet but I have no body piercings. I would love to have one once my baby daughter is 5 years old. I hope someday you share a review or photo collection of body piercings. I can base on your advice to decide which jewelry is suitable for me. Thank you.
