Accessorising Tips
Accessorising is key to any outfit.
Adding different pieces of jewellery to the same outfit will offer different looks each time. It's all about adding that extra sparkle and feeling gorgeous!
We always seem to need help with choosing the right jewellery and it is often difficult to decide on the length of necklace to achieve the best look.
Well, the truth is, it all depends on the style of your dress.
So, our design team have put some helpful tips together especially for you, to make you look and feel fabulous when wearing any piece of jewellery.
Here is some guidance...
Sweetheart Neckline
Ideal chain lengths of 40cm / 45cm / 50cm.
We all love to dress to the nines and what better way to feel amazing than by choosing one of the most sophisticated necklines - the sweetheart.
This look often needs a piece of jewellery to sit perfectly on the chest, to compliment the dress instead of clashing with it.
Some people end up with an outfit disaster by thinking they need to add too much glam with their jewellery.
Therefore, make sure the piece adds sophistication; we would suggest our Solid Heart & Double Chain Necklace which comes on a medium and heavy-weight double chain, 50cm in length, hanging just perfectly at the V of the dress.
Strapless Neckline
Ideal chain lengths 70cm / 80cm / 90cm.
A classic look is of course the strapless neckline. This look allows you to make more of your jewellery.
Take a look at our Heart Cupid Pendant 80cm in length, on a heavy-weight chain which sits beautifully just below the bust line, creating a real statement when worn with a very simple strapless dress.
Hearts are a must have this season!
V Neckline
Ideal chain lengths 50cm / 60cm / 70cm.
We all like to be a little daring so why not reflect this in your jewellery?
Precious Monkey have some creative, distinctive, unique designs which will make you stand out at any party.
Take a look at our Stars In Star Necklace 60cm in length on a heavy-weight chain, cleverly designed to allow you to change the length to most suit you.
This versatile piece looks at its best when worn with a V neckline.
Tank Neckline
Ideal chain lengths 60cm / 70cm / 80cm / 90cm.
Another simple yet classic neckline, the tank, which can look so different depending on the style of the dress.
We have teamed a pretty sequin tank dress with our long chain, Maple Leaf Pendant 60cm in length on a heavy-weight chain which sets the outfit off beautifully.
It's all about making the jewellery work with your outfit to achieve the most glamorous look.
LBD (Little Black Dress)
Ideal chain lengths - all lengths suitable - the choice is yours!
We all have that trusty LBD hanging in our wardrobe, they come in lots of different styles, but can be updated by adding the most amazing piece of solid silver jewellery for pure elegance.
What better back drop for silver jewellery than a black dress?
The Ovals Statement Pendant 90cm in length on a heavy-weight chain stands out beautifully, sitting just above the waist line, adding sophistication to give a simple yet stylish look.
Multi-Layering
Ideal chain lengths - all lengths suitable (but long looks best).
Each Precious Monkey Jewellery piece has been created to offer many different looks. Our necklaces are versatile and have been designed to look great when multi-layered.
Why not use multi-layering to go full glam for that all important cocktail party?
If you do decide to multi-layer, make sure you choose a simple dress. If you add this look to a fussy dress it will look too much.
Take a look at the opposite photo which achieves this look perfectly, by teaming the Ovals Multi Necklace 60cm on a medium-weight chain the Circles Multi Necklace 60cm on a heavy-weight chain and the Circles Star Necklace 60cm on a fine-weight in one look.
A bold fashion statement.
Polo Neckline
Ideal chain lengths - anything at 50cm or longer.
You can still look dazzling wrapped up in your winter knitwear...it's all about accessorising!
Take the typical polo neck jumper and team it with our Fallen Leaf in Leaf Necklace.
This gorgeous solid silver 60cm heavy-weight necklace is a quirky design that will work with any outift.
Scoop Neckline
Ideal chain lengths 40cm / 45cm or at 70cm or longer.
A scoop neckline is an invitation for a gorgeous short chain piece of jewellery. Take a look at our stunning Maple Leaf Necklace which sits high on the neck at 40cm on a heavy-weight chain adding a real statement to your outfit.
