Are you planning to travel this summer? Although comfort is the priority of most people during the warmer season, you shouldn’t forget about style. One of the things that elevate simple outfits is wearing accessories, specifically diamonds.
Some of the summer events people usually attend are weddings, getaways, and reunions. But whatever event you’re going to attend, adding sparkles can guarantee a better look and help increase your self-confidence.
In this article, we’ll give you some tips on how to wear diamonds during summer.
1. Simple yet Fancy
Due to warm temperatures, opting for simple designs, not only for your clothes but also for accessories is recommended. If you want to wear diamond jewellery, choose those with minimalist designs.
Some minimalist diamond jewellery options are stud earrings, pendant necklaces, and single-chain bracelets. Moreover, aside from the ideal style for summer events, these can also be worn with everyday outfits but can elevate their simplicity.
For instance, if you’re wearing simple jeans and a tee, the addition of a pendant diamond necklace can turn your outfit to a new level.
2. Mix and Match
Nowadays, experimenting with various jewellery designs and materials is encouraged, especially if you want to show your personality. Before, mixing different metals and stones can start arguments, but now, if you prefer combining various shapes, colours, and sizes, you can do so.
If you don’t want to risk your look by experimenting by yourself, you can look for inspiration online. Usually, when matching various kinds of jewellery, the most simple way is to stack them. Most of the time, necklaces, bracelets, and rings are stacked together to create a new style.
3. Play with Colours
While the classic clear diamond is timeless, fancy-coloured diamonds add something more to your look. Aside from acting as a pop-up colour, it also adds personality. For instance, since pink diamond is a light colour, it matches other summer colours, like orange, yellow, and blue.
Meanwhile, if you want to try wearing summer-themed colours for your accessories, you can do so. It goes well if you’re wearing a white summer dress.
4. Choose the Setting
Did you know that diamond settings can help enhance the sparkle of diamonds? Since the prong only holds the four corners, it has enough space for light to pass through, allowing the diamond to sparkle more.
Meanwhile, other diamond settings prevent the light from passing through, limiting the sparkles, like the bezel setting. However, although it limits the sparkles, the bezel is a good option since it holds the diamond stronger, especially when you’re planning to wear your jewellery underwater.
5. Protect the Sparkles
Although diamonds are known for being the hardest gemstones, necessary precautions are still practised to prolong the quality. Some of the things you shouldn’t do when wearing diamond jewellery are swimming, cooking, applying sunscreen or lotion, playing with the sand, and gardening.
If you’re planning to do any of these things, you should remove your jewellery first. Keep in mind that even if your goal is to enhance your outfits, taking care of your diamonds should be a priority.
Aside from avoiding activities that may damage your diamonds, don’t forget to clean your diamonds properly, and store them properly.
6. Consider the Occasion
What are your plans this summer? Are you going to attend a beach wedding, a party, or just going to hang out with friends at the beach? Before packing, consider the event you’re planning to attend before choosing your clothes and the accessories that go well with them.
Of course, diamonds are always an option, but certain designs and styles should be considered depending on the occasion.
For instance, if you’re attending a wedding, consider simple accessories like a pendant necklace, stud earrings, and a cocktail ring. Meanwhile, if it’s a loud party, you can wear dangling earrings, a statement necklace, or bangle bracelets.
7. Consider Layering
Laying diamond jewellery with other metals or gemstones is ideal, especially when you want to show off your unique personality. Gone are the days when you have to follow fashion rules that can lead to people shaming you for wrong choices of jewellery.
Fortunately, nowadays, you layer a diamond necklace with rubies, rose gold chains, or a choker without worrying whether someone will judge you. Instead, you can hear others complementing your style, and admiring you for being someone who can pull off something that you don’t often see.
8. Go with the Classics
Are you a fan of the timeless classics? While there are many statements about jewellery designs in the world, choosing timeless pieces can also say something about your personality.
If you’re going with the classics, you can wear a tennis bracelet, a single diamond ring, or solitaire diamond earrings. No matter what you’re wearing, these pieces will always elevate your style.
Final Thoughts
Diamonds are forever, and you deserve to wear them, especially during summer. Whether you’re going for a chic or a classic look, there’s always a diamond that suits your mood. If you’re feeling extra girly, a pink diamond necklace can always give you the vibe. So, embrace the sparkle, and don’t forget to enjoy the summer!
