Jewelry can infuse so much glam and glitter into your overall look — may it be a minimalist piece or a loud statement piece. It’s definitely more than just an accessory, but also an avenue for you to express personal style. But then, I’m quite sure many of us share the same struggle of styling our jewelry pieces and having them speak our very own fashion language. From which piece matches with what wardrobe color, what pendant and charms work well together, and how many layers should you actually stack — definitely a confusing style dilemma.


So, as you doom-scroll on Instagram or TikTok, or binge-read your monthly fashion magazine subscriptions, you might find yourself swooning over how celebrities, influencers, and models are rocking their jewelry pieces. You don’t have to wear hundreds of thousands of dollars around your neck just to look like a fashion icon! All it takes is just proper styling!

Embracing Minimalism

The minimalist approach to pretty much everything has charmed even the most ostentatious fashion enthusiasts in recent years. The reason is obvious — minimalism signifies quiet luxury like no other and this is also quite apparent in many minimalist jewelry designs as seen on our favorite fashion icons and runway looks. 


The smallest emblem over a plain clothing canvas can give your overall fit a subtle lift. Imagine your favorite plain black shirt adorned with a minimalist necklace with a tiny geometric pendant — isn’t that just so chic? 


Studs, simple hoop earrings, and pendant necklaces are non-negotiable fashion staples as they exemplify the true minimalist aesthetic. The beauty of having a nice collection of minimalist jewelry pieces is that they are versatile enough to be pretty on their own, as well as to be stacked or layered to create a different look. Which brings us to the next point!



Find Your Creative Spot Through Layering Your Jewelry

Now to the fun part of styling jewelry pieces — layering. One of the hallmarks of the fashion world is mixing and matching your pieces to create a certain look that embraces your individuality. Each piece is unique in its own way; layering, pairing, or stacking pieces of jewelry together allows you to tell a story that’s uniquely yours. It’s basically an art form, where you have the freedom to experiment with your layers to transform your look. 


If you have multiple jewelry ear piercings, you can combine different earrings and earcuffs following a certain theme (think of constellations or geometric shapes!). Then for your layered necklaces, you can mix and match different textures and lengths of chains for a dimensional look. This goes the same for bracelets and cuff bangles as you can create a different vibe when you stack them up.


Here are some fun layers and combinations you can try:

  • Necklaces: Chunky gold choker, beaded long necklace, minimalist pendant necklace
  • Bracelets: Slim Gold Cuff Bangle, Tennis Bracelet, Link Bracelet

Go Bold with Chunky Gold

Chunky gold pieces are the powerhouse of statement jewelry this 2024. So there’s no doubt that one of the best ways to turn heads like your favorite fashion icon is to flaunt your favorite chunky gold jewelry pieces! May it be oversized chains or thick cuffs, the way they just dramatically gleam will instantly give you that iconic touch.

A lot of high fashion houses this year released an extravagant array of chunky gold jewelry and I have to say that the ones from Tom Ford’s RTW Fall 2024 collection are absolutely solid favorites. The Messika piece featuring a 35-carat yellow diamond worn by Amelia Gray in this year’s MET Gala is also a wow-worthy chunky gold statement!

Take Risks: Be your own Fashion Icon

Your personal style is an exciting, yet also possibly very tasking journey. Taking risks is also a part of exploring your style and this also involves your choice of jewelry. Well, one would think that taking risks in styling is all about going bold and crazy with the details, but you’ll be surprised how many fashion stylists would say that it’s not always that! It’s all about knowing when to go big and when to go simple.


There’s a time to go all-out extravagant with your jewelry choices but there are also moments when subtlety can speak so much volume. While considering the occasion is one of the determining factors on whether you’ll go for something loud or minimal, it’s also important to allow your “feel” to lead you. You can go for dramatic boho layers of necklace on a simple brunch date or a pair of gem-encrusted drop earrings for your Friday night party — make your jewelry pieces your very own!

The Wrap Up

The internet will tell you so many ways on how to wear your jewelry pieces, but at the end of the day, they’re all just mere inspiration. It’s always going to be YOU, who’ll curate your jewelry pieces to tailor them to your own personal liking. The right way of styling your jewelry can hold so much power to your fashion statement, so while you have full freedom of which pieces to wear, style factors like proportion, color, and design can play a major role in successfully bringing your style in order.


Jewelry is a fantastic way to incorporate life, creativity, and individuality into your outfit. The next time you reach for those jewelry pieces or add them to your shopping cart, you know that there are tons of ways to style them in order to embed each one into that inner fashion icon in you!
