Buy Good Quality Jewelry

Even if you’re on a budget, make sure to only buy good-quality jewelry. If you buy chunky fake gold necklaces with big lumps of glass in them, they’ll just look cheap and tacky. There are some great sites like Harlem Bling where you can get big statement pieces that are flashy, but still look stylish because they’re well-made. Remember, it’s better to for quality over quantity and just invest in a few key pieces.

 

Stick With One Statement Piece

Don’t overdo it. It’s tempting to go out and buy loads of different flashy pieces of jewelry, but that just looks tacky – instead, stick with one statement piece per outfit. For example: if you’re wearing an LBD (little black dress), try adding in a big gold necklace or earrings. Or wear your favorite chunky bangle set with jeans. If you cover your whole outfit with massive flashy pieces of jewelry, it just looks like you’ve thrown on as many pieces as possible to show off. Instead of looking cool and stylish, your outfit will just look overcrowded and messy.

 

Stack Your Rings

If you love wearing funky rings, try stacking them instead of wearing just one. For example stack, three or four big statement rings on your fingers and wear a chunky cocktail ring on top to finish the look off. Matching different types of rings gives you a great eclectic look that can work really well. The big rings don’t stick out as much when they are part of a stack too, so it’s a little more understated. You’ve got a lot of great opportunities to experiment here, so don’t be afraid to try something new.

 

Mix Materials (Within Reason)

If you’re wearing a statement necklace, try mixing metals to break up the look. You could wear gold or silver bangles with it for example and stack them on your wrist – this is also a great way of showing off multiple pieces at once! If you only have one bracelet in each metal type, mix different textures instead by adding a leather bracelet or a bangle with stone embellishments. However, be careful when mixing materials and don’t go overboard. If you have all sorts of different materials that don’t really work well together, your outfit just ends up looking incoherent and it’s unclear what the focus is, so mix materials, within reason.

 

So, there you have it! Some simple tips and tricks for wearing flashy jewelry without looking tacky. You can use these ideas to create your own look and stand out from the crowd while also remaining stylish. Have fun with it and experiment as much as possible – after all, that’s what fashion is all about!
