You want to look your best during this special day so you will always look back at these memories with appreciation.

But choosing the right jewelry can be challenging, with so many options available. You must think about your outfit, hairstyle, and sometimes even your make-up before deciding on the kind of jewelry you’ll wear.

In this article, we put together the best pieces to wear depending on the occasion, so you can be certain you’ll look stunning with any outfit!

What jewelry to wear to a wedding as a guest

If you’re attending a wedding soon and have no idea what jewelry is best, think of soft colors, shimmer, and delicate pieces.

Some pieces of jewelry that are perfect for a wedding guest include stud earrings, delicate dangle earrings, single bracelets or bangles, and even a dainty pendant necklace. If you want something more elegant, a tennis bracelet could be perfect.

What jewelry to wear to a black tie event

Black tie events are often exclusive and luxurious. They require a higher level of sophistication and elegance than regular events. Common black-tie events include fundraisers and charity balls, galas, evening weddings, and some cocktail parties.

Normally, men will wear tuxedos to black tie events, and women will wear floor-length gowns. If you’ve been invited to a black tie event and need the right jewelry to complement your gown, you want to wear jewelry that’s elegant, understated, and luxurious.

A diamond tennis bracelet, a classy gold bangle, or a sophisticated gemstone bracelet are great choices for your arms. For rings, we’d recommend stunning diamond rings, statement rings, or bold gemstone rings.

What jewelry to wear to Graduation

If you’re the one graduating, you probably want to wear something that complements your dress. Since graduation dresses are usually formal, it's better to wear tasteful jewelry that won’t overpower your look. A simple bracelet, a delicate necklace, or a set of elegant stud earrings can give your style a touch of elegance.

The same can be applied if you’re attending the graduation. Aim for elegant pieces like tennis necklaces, diamond earrings, and elegant rings like eternity bands.
