The fun part is yet to come! Your wardrobe (next post) will need revamping, your make-up will have a different palette, and your accessories will need to match your new color scheme, and colors you never thought of wearing will look very flattering!
What about your jewelry?
These are the bling No-Nos for a woman with silver locks:
Anything gold (sorry)
Anything bronze
Anything copper
Now for the gems:
NO:
Amber
Coral
Tiger's Eye
Topaz
Beryl
Basically nothing in brown, beige, orange, gold, olive green, or tan
The Bling Yes goes to:
White gold
Platinum
Sterling Silver
Now for the gems:
YES:
Diamonds (a girl's best friend)
Sapphires
Rubies
Emeralds
Amethyst
Aquamarines
Onyx
Black pearls
Basically everything blue-tinged, white, black, vibrant, bright colors, that are cold.
Ok ladies:
- Dig out that jewelry box, or the old hidden gym sock that houses every anniversary present given to you by that special guy.
- Once you have found your jewelry box, open, empty it out onto the bed and start sorting.
- Make 3 piles:
- The keep pile
- The "find a deserving relative who is turning 21" pile
- And the" I am going to sell my gold jewelry for cash" pile (Many TV adds for such offers)
The keep pile will have:
- All your diamonds or any other gem (rubies, emeralds, peridot, sapphires, etc..) set in white gold or platinum (no yellow or rose gold)
- Anything sterling silver, including your turquoise jewelry
- Onyx
The 21 year old's pile could have:- An old gold charm bracelet
- An antique locket
- A pair of rose gold earrings
The sell for cash pile could be:
- Anything gold that you don't like anymore
- Any mis-matched or single earrings
- An unfashionable brooch or two
Once you have sorted your jewelry, the fun part is bringing it up to date. You can mix and match: old with new, platinum with sterling silver, gems and costume jewelry.
The reason why Platinum, sterling silver, and the vibrant cold colors work well with a woman whose hair is now silver is because those colors complement her coloring.
Have fun!
