Statement Jewelry Conveys Confidence
Statement jewelry conveys confidence. Jewelry that makes a statement sends a message about who you are and what you value and can make an outfit chic. I think what you notice first about someone is their personal statement. A piece of jewelry that catches your eye when you see a woman qualifies as a statement jewelry piece. Something that stands out from everything else.
Characteristics of jewelry that makes a statement are pieces that are bold, large, colorful and/or unique. Jewelry that draws attention to the wearer. Take into consideration the proportion of the jewelry in relationship to your size. Larger divas can get away with larger pieces than petite gals. Never wear more than one statement item with any outfit at a time. Wearing more than one statement piece of jewelry lessens the impact of both.
Keep your makeup clothing and accessories simple when wearing statement jewelry. Bold jewelry looks especially great with classic clothing like the LBD (Little Black Dress).
Tip: Don’t wear statement necklaces with halter necks, collars, or details like ruffled necklines.
Types of jewelry that make a statement:
- Vintage jewelry
- Chunky short or long necklaces
- Colorful jewelry
- Cuff bracelets or multiple bangles
- Cocktail rings
- Chandelier and chunky earrings
- Brooches
- Large men’s watches

How to Care For Your Jewelry
Jewelry is one of our most intimate and cherished accessories. An elegant pair of pearl and platinum earrings, for example, makes an individual statement, nestled against the skin and resplendent in lustrous light. Yet, according to experts at the nonprofit GIA, chemicals found in everyday substances like hairspray, lotions, perfumes, or other cosmetics can permanently damage the nacre of your dazzling pearl, and can corrode the alloys in that shiny setting. Understanding how to care for your treasured jewelry can make a world of difference in maintaining its beauty and keeping its heirloom quality sparkling for generations to come.
