Jewellery: Rings, Necklaces, Earrings, Bracelets, Anklets, Brooches and Jewellery Sets
Jewellery adds personality and style to outfits and makes meaningful gifts for birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations. This category covers rings, necklaces, stud earrings and earrings, bracelets, anklets, brooches and jewellery sets.
Materials
Sterling silver (925) is bright and durable but tarnishes over time. Gold-plated jewellery offers a gold look at lower cost, but plating can wear. Stainless steel resists tarnish and suits everyday wear. Titanium is light and hypoallergenic. Alloy fashion jewellery is affordable and trendy. Choose nickel-free metals for sensitive skin.
Rings
Ring sizes vary by country, such as US numbers, UK letters and European millimetres. Measure the inner diameter of a ring that fits and compare it with a size chart. Adjustable rings fit a range of sizes.
Necklaces
Necklace length affects where it sits: chokers around 35 to 40 cm sit close to the neck, 45 cm sits at the collarbone and longer necklaces sit on the chest. Layering necklaces of different lengths is popular.
Earrings
Stud earrings are simple and suitable for daily wear. Hoops and drop earrings make a statement. For sensitive ears, choose titanium, surgical steel or sterling silver posts. Clip-on earrings suit unpierced ears.
Bracelets and anklets
Measure the wrist or ankle and add a little room for comfort. Adjustable chains and elastic bracelets fit many sizes.
Brooches
Brooches decorate coats, scarves, bags and hats.
Jewellery sets
Matching sets of necklace, earrings and bracelet make coordinated looks and convenient gifts.
Care
- Remove jewellery before swimming, showering and exercising.
- Apply perfume and lotion before putting on jewellery.
- Store pieces separately to prevent scratches.
- Polish silver with a soft cloth.
Gifts
Jewellery with birthstones, initials or symbols makes personal gifts. Choose gift boxes for presentation.
Practical tips
Check clasps regularly to avoid losing pieces. Clean jewellery gently with mild soap and water when suitable for the material.
Well-chosen jewellery adds a finishing touch to every outfit.
