Choosing the right jewelry for a formal event is an important part of projecting an elegant, refined image. The main objective is to select pieces that enhance your outfit without overpowering it.

Formal jewelry tends to be more discreet and elegant. Think of precious metal pieces, such as gold or silver, often accompanied by precious stones.
However, with uniqueness and originality increasingly valued, a delicately carved and finely crafted piece of jewelry can make a powerful statement. For example, an ebony watch with a mother-of-pearl dial or a precious ring with a diamond can be turning points. Be sure to respect the rule of balance – if your dress is very ornate, choose simpler jewelry, and vice versa.

Furthermore, it’s generally best to limit the number of pieces worn to a formal event—a beautiful wooden watch, a delicate ring, and a pair of elegant earrings are often enough.

Jewelry for a casual event

For casual occasions, the key is expressing your personality and unique style. The rules are much less strict, so feel free to get creative. Wooden jewelry is perfect for being stylish and comfortable. A wooden watch with a colorful dial can be a great starting point for a casual look. Add a wooden ring with an exciting design and a wooden bracelet to complete the look. You can also experiment with colors and patterns. For a summer picnic, why not wear hand-painted wooden earrings in bright summer hues?
A wooden necklace with a carved pendant can be an excellent choice for an evening out with friends.
Remember, feeling good in your jewelry and having fun is the most important thing. Jewelry is an extension of yourself, so let it tell your story.
