How to Layer Jewelry

Pile It On

Is there such a thing as much too much? Not if you follow our simple guide to layering necklaces and bracelets.

By Samantha Schoengold Beranbom

Bracelets

A beautiful sculptural cuff is totally chic on its own, but adding links, bangles, or beads makes the look really modern.

Use Color as the Anchor

For instance, it's the bold black of the cuff, which every other piece relates back to.

Mix High-Contrast Styles

…like earthy beads, mother-of-pearl bangles, and a rhinestone wrap bracelet -- because the bracelets are all similar sizes, they work in perfect harmony.

Let Your Metals Mingle

…using clean, graphic shapes to pull the look together. The result is very of-the-moment. Signature engraved bangles,

Layering Necklaces

Yes, delicate chains go with chunky beads, and you can wear silver with gold. Break all the old fashion rules and layer different styles for a bunch of brand-new looks.

Make a Simple Color Story

…with elements like black, silver, and rhinestone; one vibrant color (here it's red) creates an eye-catching contrast.

Partner Big and Bold Jewels

...with that fancy dress -- just be sure they lie at different lengths so each one stands out.

Layer Delicate Pieces

...like a personal charm necklace, a strand of stones, and crystal beads -- it's a sweet and pretty combination.

Trending now Earlace Earrings

These are the newest trends in fashion accessories, as far as jewellery goes the ear lace jewellery is the best so far. This is because they make head turning statement for the wearer. The inspiration for the ear-lace comes from the need to wear earrings and a necklace at the same time without having to decide which earrings go with which necklace, quite inventive i must say.This is something that can be worn as both earrings and necklace. Be warned this style is for the brave hear-ted as it takes a strong will to have earrings that come up to your chest. Some are made of a lighter metal so as not to become too heavy to strain the neck or pull at the ear lobes. You can accessorize with feathers or plain pair with a cute outfit and you are good to go.

Fashion Earrings the Feather earrings

Feather earrings have been an ongoing trend that has been spotted on the streets of Nairobi and beyond. This small accent can turn your look from casual to very girly, playful, glamorous to even sexy.  These feather earrings can be normal earrings designs and the feathers added to it or pure feathers attached to a metal ring or hook to give out that bright look. Some are made of metal or wood and then beautifully adorned with delicate feathers of different colors, shape and from different kinds of birds giving you that extra trendy and fashionable look.
When pairing with an outfit go for something bright in case you have on a dull colored ensemble. Wear them whenever you have cocktail nights and be exceptionally elegant. Great for outdoors functions like weddings, barbeque, birthday party, graduation party or family get together. The feather earrings are an absolute no no for the office as they are too elaborate and bright for an office environment.
 Feather Earrings can alter a boring or ordinary outfit and turn it into a dazzling and exciting look because of their different designs and patterns. Some are short, others long while still other feather earrings can be extra long with as many details as you fancy.
In Nairobi get them at various beaut shops, the Toi Market, among other places and online you can get some designs from ma-petite-chou.com, http://www.fashionjools.com

Summer Jewelry Trends Cocktail Rings / Oversized Rings

Cocktail rings are big over sized rings that come in various sizes and designs. They are called cocktail because most of them time they are worn for cocktail parties in the evening with glamorous outfits.
Any design goes and you can choose colors to match your outfit or you can contrast and color clash and since the rings are big accessories on their own wear one at a tome so as not to crowd your fingers.
The bigger the better, just be sure it's not so big that it slides off your finger. Flaunt this trend with oversized looks of jewels.
