How To Match Jewelry With Your Outfit

 Wearing jewelry isn’t entirely about just the piece itself, it’s about complementing your style while reflecting your personality. You want to remember to pick out jewelry that makes you feel good and look good, too. Jewelry can be the heart and soul of any outfit if you pick out the right pieces. We will be providing some very accurate tips which will help you pick out the right pieces for different styles of clothing.

How To Match Jewelry With Patterns

If you are planning to wear a dense or busy pattern and you are really confused about what kind of jewelry will work, these tips are for you! Keep your jewelry toned down when your outfit has a lot going on. Never use showy accessories with busy prints. Loud and ornate jewelry can get lost in a busy print, no matter how great it is. Busy prints and wild jewelry can get gaudy fast. Even if you’re not into simple jewelry, it’s always good to have a few pieces in your collection just for this reason.  

Here are some examples of jewelry that would work great with a heavily patterned outfit.

1. Stud Earrings

If you feel like letting a bold patterned outfit do the talking, keep your jewelry simple with our Small Stud Earrings. Our Stud Earrings are one of our top-selling designs. They are elegant, but casual enough to wear every day and match easily with patterns. With these earrings on, you are ready to rock your day and enjoy all of the compliments!

2. Drop Pendant

Try out our simple, yet beautiful Drop Pendant. It may just become your favorite piece in your collection and it pairs easily with any outfit, including patterns!

 

Jewelry For Casual Dresses

Fun, carefree time is something we all crave. Most of our best memories are from a relaxing day out with friends or family. For this reason, people want to look stunning in their casual dresses like a night out with friends, dinner, drinks, or maybe a simple walk in the park. This is the time where you can be yourself and let your whole personality shine! There are no restrictions or rules on what jewelry you should wear but it is a wise idea to not wear extremely fancy jewelry with casual outfits. This is why it’s key to have some pieces in your collection that can work for both casual and dressy.

Check out our crystal earrings. Almost all of our styles can be dressed up or down.

Our Feather Extension earrings are made with our iridescent crystals which glow from within. They feature our contemporary, sterling silver feather shape that extends the earring length and makes them fun, flirty, and ready for any occasion.

Matching Jewelry with Necklines

Necklines make outfits more interesting. Finding jewelry which suits your neckline enhances your beauty and overall look of your outfit. If your necklace and your neckline don’t match, your entire ensemble becomes unbalanced. Always make sure that the length of your necklace is significantly shorter or longer than your neckline so that it doesn’t get lost in the mix.

• Jewelry For V-necks

V-necks are very popular and seem to be in style no matter what decade it is. You can mirror the v shape of your dress or you can experiment with a curve. Short v-necks can be complimented with chokers or short chains. As the neck goes deeper you can use medium or longer length pendants and chains. You can try our Slide Choker; it’s perfect for v-necks!

• Jewelry For Turtlenecks

Turtleneck dresses and shirts look best with long necklaces. Make a set by adding some earrings. Try our Stud Earrings, Drop Earrings , or Nautilus Stud Earrings. It will definitely complete the look.

 

• Jewelry For Crewnecks

When your neckline goes high make sure you adjust the length of your necklaces accordingly. Try to make sure that your necklace sits at least 2 inches below the collar and can go as long as you like with your crewneck dresses and shirts.

Try our Musical Note Pendant. This necklace is great for all of the music lovers out there and would look great with any crewneck styles.

4 Jewelry For Halter Tops and Off The Shoulder Styles

These dresses and shirts look awesome with longer earrings and stylish bracelets. Our Waterfall Extension Earrings will definitely complement your halter or one shoulder styles. These earrings are available in polished and frosted and are the perfect length.

Jewelry for Sleeveless Styles

Bracelets are a great choice for when you’re showing off your arms in a sleeveless style. A good rule of thumb for choosing bracelets based on sleeve length is the longer your sleeves are, the less bracelets you should wear and the thinner those bracelets should be, and vice versa.

 

7 Oval Stones Bracelet

Our beautiful 7 Oval Stone Bracelet is made of 7 gorgeous, individual crystals linked together to form one incredible, show-stopping piece. This bracelet is the perfect match for any dress and is a great choice for your next sleeveless look.

Clothing colors and jewelry

The color of your outfit impacts jewelry choices, too. Pearls pair well with other colors related to the sea such as aqua, deep blue, and greens. Cool colors such as greens, blues, and purples look best with warm colors such as yellow, orange, and reds.

More specifically:

• Blue and green outfits: white pearls
• Purple outfits: citrine, gold, green crystal
• Red outfits: green colored jewelry
• Black outfits: any color
• Neutral outfits: diamonds, black jewelry

We hope the above tips were very helpful to you! Remember to make sure to include jewelry that works with the style of clothing as well as your personality when planning an outfit. You always want to feel fashionable and comfortable so you can go out and have fun!

Beautiful outfits with the right jewelry are an incredible combination. Explore more of our beautiful pieces online at leightworks.com

Crystal Earrings

They are convenient, shiny and can be worn every day out and about and are suitable to wear to work as well. An office environment has some fashion rules and norms, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your style!

The best part is you can show your individuality without distracting your co-workers with flashy or noisy pieces.

Crystal Necklaces

Many people have a favorite necklace they wear every day and are used to having jewelry daily. Have you ever been deeply engrossed in your thoughts or a task and you reach to touch or move your pendant or chain that’s always around your neck? Many people find wearing jewelry comforting.

Our sterling silver Snake Chains instantly add style and class to any of our pendants and can be worn every day around your neck. It looks spectacular hanging perfectly with the right piece.

If you want something unique then you can always inquire about our custom designs and we will work with you to create something special. We also suggest trying our Sterling Silver Swirl Choker which will let you pull off a stunning look with any outfit.

Crystal Bracelets

Although bangles and charm bracelets are always in style, you don’t have to pile on too many bracelets at one time. A single, exquisite crystal bracelet can be added to your daily jewelry set and that would be more than enough to look put together and stylish. A 7 Oval Stones Bracelet can give you a little bit of an edge to your style with its single or multi-colored stones. You can also try our Triangle Bracelet that fits on any wrist (it’s adjustable) and gives a classic yet contemporary touch to any look.

Check some of these amazing ring styles! Some favorites are the Classic Ring, Turtle Ring and Small Double Ring. Our rings will not only be a subtle statement and not go over the top, but they will also set your style apart from others.

It may be a bit tricky for you to choose the right piece of jewelry for you. We have so many great pieces in our collection sometimes it’s hard to know which one you’ll like! There are a few aspects you need to consider while buying them. Think about your current wardrobe, lifestyle, and budget. LeightWorks has something for everyone!

Dale Chihuly: Artist, Visionary, Inspiration

Dale Chihuly is an incredible glass artist and visionary. He has been creating glass works for over forty years and is a prominent name in the contemporary art world. Dale is viewed as a highly successful artist and his net worth has been estimated at $10 million. His work can be seen in many different galleries across the country and even internationally. Known for his bright colors, large-scale projects, use of light, and love of nature, Dale’s body of work provides a profound experience for many. 

Education

Originally from Washington, Dale attended the University of Washington in Seattle where he earned a B.A. in interior design in 1965. From there he continued his education with an M.S. in sculpture in 1967 studying glassblowing under Harvey Littleton at the University of Wisconsin. Dale received a full scholarship to study with Littleton who had established the first glass program in the United States. Following his MS degree, Dale received an M.F.A. in 1968 from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and went on to receive a scholarship to work at Venini Fabrica in Murano, Italy.

After he received his MS at the University of Wisconsin, Dale started teaching a summer class at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, which he continued to do for several summers thereafter. In 1969 Dale returned to the United States from Italy and created the first RISD glassblowing program as well as co-founded the Pilchuck Glass School north of Seattle in 1971.

Artistic Method

Early in Dale’s career, he created a new model of glassblowing after sustaining injuries that required him to create his art with a team of people. This collaborative environment was unheard of at that time in the glassblowing world.

Dale was involved in a car accident in London in 1976 that propelled him out of the windshield causing severe lacerations on his face and left him blind in one eye. He later sustained a shoulder injury while bodysurfing in 1979 leaving him unable to hold the pipe required to blow glass.

Due to these physical limitations, Dale’s creative process evolved into that of an artistic director. He has said that once he took a step back from his role as the creator, he found that he enjoyed being able to see and control the artistic process from the outside looking in. He is able to manipulate the glass and art in ways that he otherwise would not have working on his own. Not to mention the large scale installations his team helps create, pack, ship, and assemble once on location.

 Where Is He Now

Dale is now almost 80 years old and is still actively involved with creating art. He has expanded over the years to many mediums and continues to produce paintings and sculptures out of a variety of materials though continues to work mostly in the glass. You can find his work in a plethora of museums worldwide and many of them nationally. His work and exhibits continue to be a huge success and he remains a significant part of glass art history.

Influence

Dale was a huge influence on LeightWorks artist David Leight as a student at Pilchuck Glass School where David started creating glass sculptures. David’s work eventually progressed to the handmade crystal jewelry that he sells today. Based in sunny San Diego, David creates the crystal pendants, earrings, bracelets, and rings all with the concept of using light to create beauty. Dale continues to be an inspiration today for David’s handmade crystal jewelry and David reflects fondly on the time that he spent at Pilchuck.

2. Round Face: The face features the widest cheekbones, and narrow forehead & jawline. Women with this face shape should wear earpieces with angular shapes. Tangle & ear drop shapes can also be your pick to present an elongated look. With these, the looks become dramatic & feminine.
