. . . . Jewelry do’s . . . . and don’ts Adler Amolsch Director of New Staff
Tarnished, gold, silver, and steel, Jackson-Reed students are decorated in every kind of metal. With warmer days and bolder looks ahead, the Beacon’s got your guide to jewelry do’s and don’ts so you stay stacked the right way this season. Do: Mix your metal As a victim of staying true to only one metal, trust me when I say the grass is so much greener on the other side. Don’t limit your stacks to just a single tone. Play around with white gold and a bright silver, or pair yellow gold and leather. Find shades that harmonize to effortlessly elevate your daily look. Don’t: Buy mindlessly It’s tempting to quickly grab a pair of cheap silver hoops at your local Target, but nothing sucks more when those same pieces slowly leave a faded green tint on your fingers or ears. Stainless steel or plated gold are always reliable and don’t leave you with those unflattering mold stains. Quality charms can be found second-hand or even at a nearby Claire’s, but always do your homework before making the impulsive buy. Do: Stack up! It’s hard to go wrong with jewelry; the more the merrier! While a minimalist look has its charm, layering jewelry is the easiest way to brighten any dull fit. Take, for example, a simple combo like loose jeans, a white tank, and sneakers. Dependable, but kinda basic. Now, throw on chunky necklaces, a couple of bangles, a bold hoop, statement rings, and boom: instant upgrade. So don’t be shy to find those accessories, build up your collection, and expand your plain looks with a fat stack. Don’t: Forget about rings As stated previously, building up a look with jewelry is critical in transforming any fit. But jewelry users tend to overlook a very integral element of that bedazzled mix: rings! Necklaces and earrings might take the spotlight, but rings are just as essential. Like getting a fresh set of acrylics, rings can completely shift the tone of your style. A gold signet or delicate silver ring softens and feminizes a look, while chunky silver or gem-studded rings add a bold, edgy flair. Don’t underestimate the power of hand glam. Do: Stay true to you Lastly, and most importantly, express yourself authentically! When layering your metal, find pieces that resonate with you. Adorn your ears with pearls, clutter your wrists with friendship bracelets, or wear just a simple charm necklace. Find what speaks to you and embrace it fully! • GRAPHIC BY FRANCES LEIBOVICH
