Jewellery etiquette: What to wear for which occasion?

Jewelry Etiquette: The Unwritten Rules

Jewelry etiquette isn't a dress code – it's a sense of context. Those who understand what jewelry suits which occasion appear confident and respect situations without seeming rigid. We explain the most important rules.

Funeral and Memorial Service

• Discreet, understated jewelry – no bling-bling pieces
• White and silver appear neutral, black harmonizes with mourning attire
• No loud, clanking jewelry
• Wearing memorial jewelry of the deceased is a dignified gesture

Wedding as a Guest

• No white, no ivory – these colors belong to the bride
• No jewelry more eye-catching than the bride's
• Festive, but not competitive – pearls or diamond studs are always appropriate

Job Interview and Business

• Less is more – one ring, delicate earrings, a subtle necklace
• No clanking jewelry that distracts
• Quality signals seriousness – one genuine piece is better than many inexpensive ones

Restaurant and Dinner

• In the evening, it can be more glamorous than during the day
• Appropriate to the dress code: Fine dining = more luxury, bistro = less jewelry

Sports and Gym

• Valuable jewelry stays at home or in the gym bag
• Wedding ring: If absolutely necessary, wear a silicone alternative ring

The Golden Rule of All Etiquette

Jewelry that suits you is always right. Etiquette is not uniformity – it is awareness of context and respect for others. A confidently worn, idiosyncratic piece breaks all rules and still makes an impression.
