By Linda Barnes


Playing with accessories can be fun. They can change the look of an outfit quickly and easily and are often very affordable for women to purchase. If you are interested in using ladies statement jewelry to keep your wardrobe looking current and fresh, here are a few things for you to consider.

This kind of jewelry is available in many different sizes and materials. Looks can range from traditional and refined to fun and funky. Keep in mind that some metals and some colors of stones will look better with certain skin tones and hair colors. If you are not sure what looks good on you it may be worth trying on a few sample pieces and seeing what you like the look of best.

If you are wearing a statement piece, you will want to make sure that it does not have to compete with the outfit you are wearing. To do this, it can be a good idea for you to keep your clothing as neutral as possible. Neutral clothing pieces will help keep the focus where you want it to be: on your jewelry.

Many women in New York, NY tend to wear one or two statement pieces in order to keep from being overwhelmed by their accessories. If you are wearing a necklace, you may want to choose earrings or bracelets that are smaller and more refined. If you are wearing statement rings you may want to balance them out with larger earrings but wear other pieces that are smaller and more delicate in appearance.

If you decide to wear a statement necklace, it is a good idea to pick one that works with the neckline of your top. For example, higher necklines can work well with longer chains or strands of beads. These will hang down past the neck and can give a nice hit of visual interest. Lower necklines may work better with chunky pendants or strands of beads that can be looped around a person's neck multiple times.

Some women have found ways to wear their statement pieces in new and unexpected ways in order to get more life or use out of them. You may want to try taking a strand of beads and wrapping it around your wrist several times in order to create a bracelet. Some chains may be able to do double-duty as a belt.

Shopping for these items can be fun and exciting. You may want to look in markets and second hand stores for unique pieces or look online for items that can be purchased inexpensively. Make sure you look for items that are of as good a quality as possible so that you can be sure that they last as long as possible.

Once you have a few pieces it is important to know how to care for them properly. Some materials like pearls can be damaged if they are exposed to dirt and the oil that is on our skin. By wiping pieces down and looking for damage that can be fixed easily you may find that your statement pieces will still look beautiful years after you purchased them.
