The simple formula
- Focal piece → Balance → Texture
- Focal piece: choose one star (bold earrings or a statement pendant).
- Balance: keep other pieces smaller so the look is clean.
- Texture: mix one soft accent (like golden grass) with polished stone for a warm finish.
Earrings that flatter your face
- Round face: longer drops or slim dangles add length.
- Square face: rounded hoops or soft curves.
- Oval face: most shapes work, try medium hoops or teardrops.
-
Heart face: pieces with a little width at the bottom (pear/teardrop).

Color pairings that always look good
- Soft on neutrals: rose quartz with cream, sand, or grey.
- Warm & bright: citrine with white, denim, or black.
- Cool & calm: amethyst with navy or charcoal.
- Earthy mix: agate with linen, olive, and brown.
- Playful pop: tourmaline with clean basics (white tee, jeans).
- Tip: Repeat your stone color once (bag, scarf, nails) to tie the look together.
Layering, made easy
- Two-layer set (everyday): fine 16–18" chain + small gemstone pendant at 18–20".
- Three-layer set (evening): short chain, medium pendant, longer chain at 22–24".
- Keep metals the same so the gemstone stands out.
-
Add a tiny golden grass charm for soft shine and lightweight.

How to Spot Real Gemstone Quality (Quick Checklist):
- Genuine stones have natural tonal variations and unique inclusions.
- Slight irregularities in shape or color show they’re not mass-produced.
- Real gemstones feel cool and weighty in the hand, unlike glass or plastic.
- Secure, clean stone settings, no loose pieces or visible adhesive.
- Smooth polish enhances the stone’s natural luster without hiding its character.
What to wear, when
- Work: small studs or huggies + slim pendant. Clean and polished.
- Weekend: medium hoops + stack of bracelets. Easy and fun.
- Evening: statement earrings or a bold pendant (not both).
- Wedding guest: soft color stones (rose quartz, amethyst) + one sparkle piece.
-
Travel: light, layered set + one standout pair of earrings.
