Girlies, have you ever seen those people who just ROCK their jewelry?
Like, how do they make everything look so perfect without constantly adjusting or feeling uncomfortable?
Well, the truth is – they just know all these little secrets that not many people actually share!
So yea, below I’ve gathered 11 under-the-radar Jewelry styling hacks will seriously transform your whole jewelry situation.
Keep on reading and save some of these photos for later – I will keep updating this blog post from time to time!
1. The Descending Layer to avoid tangling
Alright girlies, if you can only take one styling tip from this blog post, this is the one.
When in doubt, layer necklaces in descending length order (shorter to longer) to avoid tangling and forming knots through out the day.
And also, it just creates a dimension and unite few different necklines as a set.
I’m loving this cascading effect – just so appealing and feminine.
2. Bracelet stacking: Pick a statement piece
For bracelet stacking, include at least one statement piece among delicate ones to create a focal point.
In case any girlies are wondering, this gorgeous handmade orchid necklace is from Etsy!
This prevents your arm party from looking like a jumbled mess and gives the eye somewhere to land, making your stack look curated.
3. The Undertone Match Method
Match jewelry warmth to your skin undertone.
A simple baseline is :
- gold for warm tones
- silver for cool tones
- rose gold for neutral undertones
This subtle alignment makes your jewelry look like it blend in with you perfectly as a set.
It’s hard to describe with words but if you know, you know!
4. The Pre-Event Comfort Test is CRUCIAL
Before important events, test-drive your jewelry for comfort and sound!
I know it seems trivial but trust me, this quick test will make sure you have a peaceful time during that cocktail party 2 hours later.
Depends on the texture and designs, those oh-so-glamourous dangling earrings might create an irritating soundtrack to your important presentation, or that statement necklace might pinch after an hour.
So yea, never underestimate a trial run as it literally saves you from mid-event discomfort.
5. Store pieces with egg cartons!
For the girlies who are on a budget and don’t want to invest in jewelry organizers, well, get creative!
Seriously, pill organizers, ice cube trays and even egg cartons can be a wonderful option!
I’ve tried storing all cute Disney earrings in ice cube trays back in high school and I’m loving it <3
6. The Clear Coat Trick
Not everyone loves this hack but I’m gonna include it anyways:
Apply a thin layer of clear nail polish to kind of costume jewelry to prevent discoloration, skin reactions and also from oxidizing against your skin
Of course, this rule only applies to the cheap jewelry.
Never.
I mean, NEVER coat your Cartier bracelet with nail polish.
Just don’t.
7. Clean silver with baking soda
Clean silver with aluminum foil, baking soda, and hot water instead of harsh chemicals.
This method uses a chemical reaction rather than abrasion to remove tarnish, so your jewelry can be more durable.
Seriously, go for the baking soda – they truly work wonders.
Just search on Youtube and you’ll come across all tons of helpful baking soda tutorial teaching you how to do it.
If you are reading this blog post till now, there’s one thing for sure…
You have good taste! <3 If you approve of some of these looks, please kindly pin or share some of these outfits so many tasteful fashion babes can come across this outfit inspo, thanks pretty! ❤️
And…it would truly mean the world to me if you stay until the very end. ❤️
8. Take off the necklace before swimming
Take off the jewelry before swimming or applying lotions—chemicals and moisture accelerate tarnishing.
Even your body’s natural oils and sweat can gradually damage jewelry, especially pieces with glue, pearls or gemstones.
That being said, I know it’s a bit troublesome so you make your own judgement!
I personally will always remove my necklace before swimming and for showering, I’d say from time to time.
When I had hungover I just can’t be bothered taking this off.
9. The Straw Threading Technique
I learnt this from my bestie during our Bali trip.
So basically, you want to reinforce thin chains by threading them through a thin straw when traveling to prevent tangles and breakage.
I love this hack and it’s such an ridiculously easy way to store the jewelry – all you need is an ordinary drinking straw and you’re good to go!
10. The Pearl Priority Rule
I know it seems dramatic but hear me out – make the pearl necklaces the last thing you put on and first thing you take off.
Pearls are organic gems that literally absorb everything they touch—perfume, hairspray, and skin oils can permanently damage their luster, shortening their lifespan.
I have a pearl necklace that I truly treasure (my grandma gifted it to me for my birthday) and I sometimes accidentally spray perfume on it when getting ready.
And guess what, now the pearl necklace has lost its glow and become tinted somehow.
So yeah girlies, don’t be like me.
11. Give all your jewellery pieces equal love!
Okay this is not a hack but more of a reminder:
Rotate your everyday pieces to distribute wear and extend their lifespan.
Even high-quality jewelry experiences wear over time, so giving your favorite pieces regular breaks is quite crucial.
Plus as a someone who easily get bored, it’s just way more fun to rotate all different pieces from time to time!
