Wearing Big Handmade Jewelry the Right Way

What you must have noticed by now, if you are a fan of handmade jewelry, is that many of the most original and talented designers have put on display maxi pieces. These are often huge and, although the size totally intimidates or confuses you, are also fascinating. Since the current trend has been promoting massive pieces of handmade jewelry, it would be good to know exactly how to wear these fabulous creations that are one of a kind.

Handmade jewels that are big are also sophisticated in a way or another. To artists, these represent a great ‘playground’ – a huge canvas to play on and unleash the creative powers. This, however, may make it hard to match with your outfits.

Here are a few tips that will help you to wear your big handmade jewelry in the perfect way.

Consider the Color of Handmade Jewelry:

If you have big necklaces in neutral colors, you will have a rather easy time matching these, as long as your clothes keep a minimal style. If your necklaces are colorful, white or black clothes will emphasize their vibrant harmony.

A few things to remember:

  • A rule of thumb that goes with all models is: do not mix with pattern or flowery fabrics, nor with highly detailed clothes.
  • It is time to wear the simplest cloths you own because such handmade Jewelry piece – a big necklace especially – is a real piece of art.
  • Also, pay attention to the style of the adornment you have chosen: some are glamorous and lady like, others are playful, made of cheap materials and suit very different situations.
  • So just strive for coordination. Sterling silver jewelry can be the option.

While wearing large earrings:

Large earrings are not that much of a problem. Just be mindful so these won’t overlap with your clothes. Keep them for the special occasions because they are highly expressive and complimenting, drawing attention especially to the neck line, shoulders, and decolletage. Additionally, make sure your hairdo doesn’t interfere with the earrings. Note that most women prefer to tie up their hair or make a bun when choosing to wear large earrings, for full effect.

Wearing big handmade bracelets:

Big handmade bracelets may not be that comfortable to wear. Considering how often we use our hands, it is best to spare such bracelets when we go shopping or do the everyday work, at home or in the office. Save them for hangouts and parties. They are highly decorative, but may be annoying if worn frequently, whether they are bangles, cuffs or other chunky designs.

A style tip you don’t always have to wear a big bracelet on a bare wrist. You can wear long sleeves that go up to or beyond your wrists and place the handmade jewelry bracelet over. Make sure it stays in place. If you have matching bracelets, you can add a few on top if each other.

Displaying a Huge Handmade Jewel:

Do you have very dull clothes? These could be your best bet when looking to display a huge handmade jewel. You have to go the other way around: first pick the piece you want to wear, and then think of the garments that match it. Dress without putting on anything that would compete for attention and let the work of art shine!
