Ahh, yes – the weather is warming up, flowers are blooming, and birds are chirping. It’s time to scour your closet and get your look ready for spring.

Before you buy new spring outfit jewellery, there are lots of things to consider to ensure your new jewellery makes your look shine.

Read on for a list of eight factors to keep in mind when choosing your spring jewellery for a perfect look.

1. Keep Clothing Patterns in Mind

Florals and prints are more popular in spring, but that can lead to a jewellery showdown if you’re not careful. Try to stick to simple pieces if you’re opting to wear a patterned outfit, top, bottoms, or other accessories. Doing this will ensure that your beautiful jewellery matches everything seamlessly.

A simple pair of hoop earrings and a chain necklace should do the trick. The same applies to bracelets and rings since anything too gaudy can create a visual clash with your clothes.

2. Choose Spring Outfit Jewellery to Match Your Skin Tone

The type of jewellery you wear should complement your natural skin tone. For example, stones like emeralds or topaz and sterling silver look amazing with people who have fair skin or cooler undertones.

Those with warm skin tones should look for jewellery in gold with yellow stones, like citrine. Other great precious stones for warm-skinned people to wear in spring include bracelets and earrings with rubies or morganite. 

3. Look for Sales

Speaking of jewellery, spring is a great time to shop and start comparing jewellery prices. When buying jewellery online, make sure you understand the website’s return policy, ship lead times, and always check customer reviews.

A benefit to shopping for new jewellery online is that you can take your time and really think about which pieces will look best. It’s also a great time to use jewellery as inspiration and to give you new spring outfit ideas.

4. Get Bold with Your Jewelry

There is no rule that says your spring outfit jewellery has to be boring. In fact, it’s the perfect time of year to pick out some bold, dramatic pieces.

Look into bright, chunky jewellery that has lots of colourful stones or a unique design that will help you make a statement. It’s easy to find fun pieces online that will help make an otherwise drab outfit stand apart from the crowd. 

Instead of patterns on your clothing, go with a simple and neutral outfit instead. Then, take things up a notch with a shimmering statement necklace, a fun cocktail ring, or a cool charm bracelet so that your jewellery is front and centre.

5. Give Pearls a Try This Spring

You might think of pearls as something your grandmother wore, but this timeless jewellery is a perfect match for your favourite spring outfits. Beautiful, shimmering, and simple, a string of pearls around your neck will give you ensemble that beautiful and feminine finishing touch.

Another perk to wearing pearls is that they’re easy to mix and match with just about anything. You can easily wear a string of pearls to work and then transition over to a night out with friends or a date.

Today’s pearl jewellery isn’t just white, either. You can find coloured pearls on earrings, necklaces, and bracelets to bring a cheery, whimsical touch to your best spring attire.

6. Look for New Materials

Gold, silver, and gemstones are all the current stand-bys when it comes to jewellery, but there are tons of other options out there that you can try this spring. Instead of a classic yellow gold piece of jewellery, consider a gorgeous rose gold, white gold, or copper to add a new aesthetic.

Metals like titanium are making a major comeback in jewellery, and this material is ultra-strong and can be shaped into virtually anything. Even a classic stone like opal is becoming a work of art, adding new elements to what was once considered a classic part of everyday jewellery.

Materials like abalone will add an iridescent element to your jewellery and a lot of visual interest. Check out new jewellery and clothing designers who are taking modern fashion to the next level with a myriad of interesting materials for necklaces, rings, and more.

7. Think About Your Neckline

From tops to dresses, spring attire usually has a wide variety of necklines or shapes. When you’re looking into matching jewellery with clothes, consider the type of neckline and necklace you plan to wear together.

A scoop-neck top or dress pairs beautifully with a shorter-length pendant necklace or a choker. Sporting your favourite boatneck tee this spring? Try a super-long necklace with or without a pendant that extends toward the centre of your chest.

The best way to determine which type of necklace will look best is to simply try on several until you find the right match. Avoid wearing necklaces that are too long with tops that have plunging necklines. Instead, try layering several shorter pieces together for a stylish look.

8. Try different pieces with each outfit
