In the past, I?ve spent time focusing on jewelry for wedding guests as well as engagement and wedding rings; however, I have yet to discuss the bride?s jewelry for her wedding day! Bridal jewelry is always a fun topic, because it revolves around a beautiful couple celebrating their love and happiness. A woman?s wedding day is one of the most important days of her life. Looking the best from head to toe is absolutely essential. Determining what jewelry looks best for your wedding day can be a whirlwind. Your personal style, your wedding?s theme/feel, and your wedding gown will all be major factors when choosing your pieces. Not only will your gown?s color come into play, but also your gown?s fit and neckline will play a role. Let me help you navigate your way to the perfect bridal jewelry look for your wedding with some simple advice. First, let the color of your wedding gown guide you to an overall color for your jewelry. If your dress is pure white, stay away from gold jewelry, because it will clash. With a pure white gown, it is best to stick to either pearl or platinum jewelry. For an ivory gown, gold jewelry looks best because of the gold undertones in the ivory color. For a diamond white gown, which is slightly…

Now that fall is here, it?s only a matter of time before it starts to cool down a little and the leaves begin to change color. Fall is the perfect time of year to get outdoors and enjoy the beauty of nature. I love going on hikes with my friends or even on a date with a new guy! It?s the perfect setting to get to know one another. Of course, I can?t go anywhere?especially on a date?without throwing on some kind of bling. While wearing jewelry to go hiking definitely isn?t necessary, I have some tips just in case you want to glitz up your outdoor outfit. The first thing to be aware of when accessorizing for a hike is the material of your jewelry. While everyday jewelry is usually silver or gold, you should go more natural when out in nature. Try choosing jewelry that is made of leather or hemp. I have a leather-braided bracelet I wear when going outdoors that is super cute and matches everything. With more natural materials, your jewelry will blend in with the environment around you, and it will also be more resilient to the outdoors! The material of your jewelry is important for style, but it?s also important for practicality as well. You want your pieces to be water and sweat…

When investing in fine jewelry, it is so important to keep your collection cleaned and cared for. By taking good care of your jewelry, it will keep its value longer and continue to look fabulous as you wear it year after year. We often overlook the smallest details that can make a big difference when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. I?m definitely no exception. Because I wear them so often, I sometimes forget to take care of my favorite pieces. So to help you (and myself) out, I?m going to give some tips that will ensure your jewelry looks its best every day.? 1.Wearing The first part of caring for your jewelry is knowing when you should actually wear it. I have a favorite silver bracelet that I keep on at all times. I even forget to take it off at the gym, which is not good! Sweat and water can harm your jewelry over time, so make sure you remove your jewelry for bathing, manual labor, and active events. Also, don?t put your jewelry on in the mornings until after you have applied lotion, makeup, and perfume. Harsh chemicals can cause your jewelry to tarnish more quickly. Being more mindful of when you should take your jewelry off will help it look better for longer when you have…

Hey everyone! Today I want to focus on a topic that seems sort of taboo?men?s jewelry. While many people will tell you that jewelry is reserved just for women, this is not the case.

Of course, my eyes go straight to the jewelry! The jewelry that?s worn with a gown or a suit can make or break the entire look.
