Opus Jewellery is very pleased to be supporting this charity by donating some jewellery for their raffle.
If you are lucky enough to be going to a ball this year, here are some tips for getting your jewellery right with that elegant dress....
The big question is, what will you wear?
Lets start with colour. If you are going to go for the versatility of black, you don't need to worry about matching your jewellery to a specific colour. In fact any dress in one colour is going to be easy to accessorize. And, if you are going to wear a dress with a pattern, its best to avoid chunky and showy jewellery - or you will look like you have got your outfit from the children’s dressing up box!
For formal occasions, its great to have some sparkle. So if your dress features sequins or other ornamentation, keep your jewellery simple. Give the necklace a miss, and just wear subtle earrings and a bracelet.
If on the other hand, your dress is really simple, you can wear a statement piece of jewellery that screams, “I want to stand out in the crowd”. The bold necklace scores more points when worn on its own, so dont over do it with your earrings.
The neckline of your dress is also important when choosing your jewellery. If your dress is strapless, consider a choker, or a large necklace fanned out across your chest.
If your dress has a V neck, choose a dress that mirrors the shape of the neckline. A large pendant would look stunning.
Avoid long necklaces if your dress has a halter neck as your necklace will just get lost in your cleavage. This is the time to wear those bold and beautiful earrings.
Getting ready to go out is not just about looking good, it is also about feeling good, and the preparation for a party is as crucial as the event. Enjoy having your hair done, buying a new outfit, and of course some new jewellery....
And finally, just remember there are short cuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them!
