Sapphire Jewellery & Holiday Fashion: Styling Tips for Christmas Parties
With its sunshine shades, midnight hues and everything in between, it’s no wonder sapphire can take you from day to night so confidently.
From everyday wear to your upcoming festivities, join Sapphire Dreams as we talk all things sapphire jewellery and holiday fashion.
Socks, shoes, sapphires: Can you wear sapphires every day?
“If you love something, wear it all the time.” - Vivienne Westwood
The only stone tougher than a sapphire is a diamond. A rating of 9 out of 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness means you can wear sapphires every day; they’re highly resistant to scratches and shattering, so can last a lifetime even with regular wear.
Physics aside, here at Sapphire Dreams we wear sapphires as often as we wear shoes and socks. The versatility of the stone makes it a go-to day after day, elevating any look through its intriguing shades and unmissable sparkle.
And, if you want the perfect combination of versatility and rarity, the stunning mixture of teal or parti sapphire always catches our eye. If you’re more classic, you can’t go wrong with blue sapphire.
5 tips to match your jewellery with your outfit
“Fashion is the armour to survive the reality of everyday life.” - Bill Cunningham
Not a stone to slip by unnoticed, the striking rainbow of sapphires means mastering some bold colour combinations.
So how can you match jewellery with your outfit to make sure the two complement, rather than outdo, each other?
1. Metal-first. The beauty of sapphires is that they look good with yellow, white and rose gold. Consider the colour of your outfit when choosing a metal. Black, white, nude and blush clothing make warm yellow gold jewellery stand out, while cool-toned white gold pairs well with cool tones on the colour wheel. Try white gold with green, navy and violet garments and see how this pulls the whole outfit together.
2. Simplicity Wins. Maximise focus on your sapphire jewellery by opting for a simple outfit. Detailed prints and colour mixing can cause your jewellery to get lost in the chaos. Give your sapphire the best chance to shine.
3. Colour Harmony. Yellow sapphires pair well with sunny shades. Blue sapphires harmonise with clothing on the blue spectrum. Pink sapphires work with pink and red tones. And so on. Sometimes, the most obvious matching strategy works best.
4. Consider the event. Do you need a sapphire to wear every day or one for a Christmas ball? Elaborate pieces, such as cluster designs, lend themselves to evening gowns, while simple pendants or solitaire rings carry you through more casual events.
5. Tone down accessories. Restraint pays off. The aim of your Christmas party jewellery isn’t to make you sparkle more than the Christmas tree. A good rule of thumb is to wear two smaller accessories (like a dainty necklace and matching bracelet) and one extra-special piece (this could even be a cluster of rings!)
