Jewelry Etiquette: What jewelry suits which occasion?

Jewellery Etiquette: The Unwritten Rules

Jewellery etiquette sounds old-fashioned – but it's still relevant today. Not because there must be rules, but because the wrong jewellery for the wrong occasion seems inappropriate and sends messages you might not want to send.

Business and Professional Environment

• Understated and clear – no overstatement
• Small stud earrings (max. 7mm), delicate necklace, a simple ring
• Avoid jingling jewellery (many bangles) – distracting in meetings
• No jewellery that draws focus to itself

Weddings

• As a guest: No white or cream – not even as a background colour in combinations
• Not more opulent than the bride – discreet elegance is the right tone
• Diamond studs + delicate necklace + bracelet: classic wedding guest formula

Funerals

• Jewellery: Minimal and respectful – no flashy pieces
• Pearls: Traditionally and timelessly appropriate
• No bright coloured stones, no oversized pieces

Casual and Everyday

• Complete freedom – anything can be tried here
• Layering, mixed metals, statement rings – everyday is the day for experimenting

Festive Evenings and Galas

• The more festive the event, the more permission for statement jewellery
• Diamond or gemstone drop earrings, elaborate necklace or statement ring
• But: One statement piece reigns – all others take a back seat
