Every woman loves jewelry and owns them. They have been wearing jewelry to upgrade their looks since stone ages. Jewelry is often worn in some cultures by the men and women to show their social statuses. Women used to wear egg shells, sea shells, colorful stones and feathers in ancient time but now they can wear gold, diamond, crystal and artificial jewelry. Our outfit is incomplete without jewelry and we must wear one or two pieces of jewelry for a nice and polished look. Some women believe that they can wear any jewelry anywhere with any dress. This is a wrong concept because if a jewelry is not chosen rightly then it can degrade your looks.
 A proper awareness to what we can wear on each occasion is quite necessary as each occasion has its own demand and style. For example, you can’t wear a diamond necklace to every occasion similarly you can’t wear sea shell jewelry to a wedding ceremony. The key is to know when you can wear it or when you cannot. We have a made a list for you, so you can have an idea what you can wear on certain occasions.  

 

 

 

Casual Occasions:

When you want to dress up casually for example when you are going out with your friends, going for shopping or just going to college or school then you need to go for simple items. Fine metal jewelry is the best option for casual occasions. Your every day jewelry should not be too much colorful and should not be too much big. It should be simple and decent and should make you look simple and elegant at the same time.

What can you wear?

Whether you are wearing a high neck or a V-neck shirt, you can choose thin fine metal necklaces and wear them altogether for a stylish look. Just like necklaces you can choose thin gold or white gold bracelets for everyday jewelry as they put good focus on your beautiful hands. You can also wear a watch for casual occasions. Wedding rings can be worn all the time on every occasion and rings that are smaller in size and are made of white gold or rose gold can be worn every day too. You should never choose big or fancy earrings for casual occasion in fact you should opt for decent looking earrings. You can wear small diamond earrings or any gemstone earring that does not have radius more than 3mm. The tip is not to wear extra jewelry because wearing a lot of jewelry will make you look odd.

 

Formal Occasions:

Most women confuse them with professional occasions, but formal occasions are quite different. These include weddings, galas, opera and fundraising events. You want to look elegant and lovely in these events and jewelry can help you to achieve these looks. You can show off your expensive jewelry in these events, but I will still advise you not to wear more than two pieces because it will put too much focus on your jewelry and not you. So, take out your expensive diamond, pearl or other precious stone jewelry to look the best.

What can you wear?

Lariat necklace or a single long pendant will give you an elegant look. They look great with deep necks and V-neck gowns or dresses. Never ever forget to wear earrings if you want to achieve a formal look. Wear matching earrings with pendants or long earrings whether you are rocking an updo or have left your hair open. Your own wedding and engagement ring or diamond rings will steal everyone’s attention so wear them with confidence when you are going to a formal occasion. Big diamond bracelets or gold bracelets will always look classy and dainty on you so choose them with your favorite gown or lacy dress.

 

 

 

Party Occasions:

Birthday parties, dinner parties, cocktail parties clubbing or a dinner date with bae is included in party occasions. The best thing about these occasions is that you can literally wear anything. You don’t need to worry that whether it is too sparkly or too big or even too thin. If you like it and it goes greatly with your dress, then go for it without any hesitation. One thing you need to remember before you choose your jewelry is that never go overboard with it. Always wear one or two pieces of jewelry at a single time because if you wear too much jewelry then you will look like a disco ball and you will put a bad impression on everyone.

What can you wear?

As already mentioned above that you can choose any jewelry. For necklaces, you can wear necklaces that have big or small gem stone on them or thick gold chains. You can also wear 2 or 3 thin and small statement necklaces at a single time. If your dress has shiny material or pearls, then I would advise you to go for simple necklaces that are not too long. You can also wear any kind of bracelet, bracelets with big gold chains are trending this year. You can also wear arm cuffs on parties.  If you want to look extra, then you can also go for bigger rings that have huge stones or that are funky as bigger rings catch people’s attention. Loop earrings or colorful gemstone earrings should be on your list when you are going for parties as they will make heads turn. Mis-matched earrings are trending this year and are best options when you are going to a party. You can also go for earrings that match with your pendant, so you can look quite charming.

Professional Occasions:

Your daily work in the office, professional meetings, and interviews are included in professional occasions. Most of the women know what to wear on these professional occasions but it is necessary to let other women know also. Because an employee or employer is considered annoying and irritated who jingles and jangles when she walks. Subtle and decent pieces should be considered when you want to dress up for professional occasions because too shiny and big jewelry will put a bad impression. An office is not a place to show off your big, colorful or expensive jewelry. The key is to wear decent jewelry that does not distract other or your own self. You can only wear colorful or big jewelry if your office environment is not conservative and you work in a creative environment. For example, women working in modeling agencies or art galleries.

What can you wear?

Just like everyday jewelry, you can choose to wear small and thin metal pieces or small stones. You should not wear those pieces that sparkles a lot that can blind your co-workers or pieces that makes noise that can annoy them. For office hours, you can wear stud earrings that matches with your outfit or small earrings that don’t look sparkly. You can also wear fine metal rings that are rose gold or white gold in color. Your ring should not be too big, so it does not distract anyone. If you want to look professional, then you must opt for small and sleek metal bracelets with your office dress. A bracelet that is too heavy will distract you when you are typing or writing. Necklaces are not preferred at workplace but if you like to wear them then you can wear small and thin metal necklaces with small pendant.

Vacations:

It is quite a wrong concept that you can’t wear jewelry when you are spending holidays with your family. Many women believe it is best to leave all jewelry at home, but I will advise you not to. Because a woman looks incomplete without jewelry. If you are going to a beach party, then you can wear colorful jewelry or jewelry made of sea shells. The sea shell jewelry pieces are trending, and they look really cool and feminine. Thin gold chains are also in fashion for beach days. If you are going for hiking, then I will advise you to leave your precious jewelry at home. But you can wear small earrings with strong grip, so you don’t loose them or fine metal necklaces as they look decent and make your look complete. If you are going on a vacation with your significant other and you are going to have romantic dinner there then it is not the best idea to leave your jewelry at home. You should take small and simple pieces with you, so you look beautiful and charming on your dinner date.


The role of jewelry is quite important in a woman’s life and it helps to achieve the looks. Choosing the right jewelry for each occasion is really necessary because if you don’t even know what to wear on a certain occasion then you will end up looking miserable.
