However I have put together a few easy to follow tips for our She Inspires readers to start the creative juices flowing. But a word of warning!

Fashion Jewellery Tips

When choosing jewellery take into consideration your build if you are petite, hugely oversized pieces can be overwhelming. However chunky jewels can also look very dramatic ... just don't go overboard. Be objective if the piece is wearing you rather than complimenting your look; then maybe look for a different style.

Accessories are a definite trend, and the options available in terms of price points and looks are astounding. Looking for little treasures to add to your personal collection of accessories will become a slight obsession, as you will learn that accessories are an effective way to seasonally update and re-new your look.

A simple guideline for "accessorising for beginner"s is to team jewels in neutral tones, such as silver and muted golden tones with brighter colours or patterned clothing. And the opposite is true for neutral tones such as white, black and camel or grey tones, in fact wearing all one colour creates a blank canvas that allows your accessories to do all the talking... taking your style from satisfactory to sensational!

Another fail-safe way to accessorise is to have one focus point. This does not mean that you can only wear one piece of jewellery but rather have one statement piece as the centre piece of your look. In simple terms if you are wearing chandelier earrings wear a simpler necklace. Another example of this is when wearing a big beautiful statement ring a simple bracelet or even to keep your wrist bear will create the most appealing look. However remember, rules are made for breaking ... but if you feel unsure then the less is more theory will always steer you in the right direction.

When wearing a selection of jewellery pieces together, be careful that all the pieces relate that they all carry the same theme. While putting your look together, think about the story you are trying to tell, and ensure that the jewellery compliments this vision. Below, I have listed some popular fashion looks, group your jewellery accordingly and if you are not sure ask a trusted friend or collect images from magazines or even look online for ideas from celebrities and jewellery design websites. There is lots of help for jewellery lovers to ensure your style makes the right impact.
