Bling out for casual and everyday. My thoughts on bling…

Diamonds are no longer reserved for special or dressy events only. This is because diamonds (real or fake) are now worn by everyone. I see 16 yr kids with big 5 ct earrings. I see ladies with multiple tennis bracelets. Real or fake? Who knows and when I see it, I don’t bat an eye. It’s everyday wear, especially simple line necklaces and bracelets as well as big stud earrings.

Which is exactly my point. Everyone freely wears diamonds. Only the wearer truly knows if they are D Flawless diamonds or cubic zirconia.

With that thought, I personally think big diamond bling is the easiest to wear as everyday jewelry, more so over big gemstone bling which tends to look stuffier, old-world with shorts (even then I don’t care! :biggrin:)

Go for it! Diamonds are day wear in the 21st century! Bling it on!

Your necklace and cross are lovely and go great together! Beautiful! Throw on a stripes tee shorts!
Jewelry whisperer is definitely your new name. You make it all come together with your great logic and advice. I only buy classic diamond pieces so I can start to incorporate more bling into my casual outfits. I love the cross with the necklace as well. Wore it this summer and really liked it.
 
The bracelet here is made with a pair of vintage cosmos earrings, which I worked with a local jeweller to design…. Unfortunately as I am obsessed with stacking, this piece does not incorporate well with my collection so thinking of redesigning into something more wearable for me!

This piece is absolutely stunning. I see your dilemma however what if you stacked with simple love bracelets which wouldn’t complete with cosmos

So creative! I like #1 and #3. For #3, maybe remove the dainty emerald station necklace, add a 5 motif oynx so it's a bit longer. That means your neck will be clean to highlight the collar bone and throat, and you'll have long necklaces around your torso. See if you like the clean neck look with long necklaces. The eye has less length to wander.

I think you need a malachite 20 to layer with your oynx and rock crystal 20! :biggrin: :heart:
 
I love this philosophy for no regrets… would you share some of your mistakes and what you learned?
Thank you so much @alleviate ! Life is too short for regrets, right? And it’s all about self discovery through making mistakes so I embrace it. I shared some of my lessons learnt in the below posts:heart:
