Summer is finally upon us, and with it comes the time to flaunt the elaborate or subtle jewellery pieces you have been hiding under your winter layers all season long. Adorning yourself with jewellery should be planned with zeal and dexterity. I will share my top 4 tips on how to look suave whilst at the same time, protecting your jewellery from the harshness of the summer heat and other elements. Here are a few nuggets on how to keep your bling sparkling
1. Less is More : Go Minimal
Don’t over-do it. The secret to a smooth and timeless look is minimalism. Getting your neck chain or hoops tangled can hardly make for a fun day. You need to be comfortable and elegant at the same time. Hard as it may be to resist the urge to flaunt your Aurex jewellery, you may have to take it with a pinch of salt. There is magic found in the simple look. It brings a certain allure and attractive aura to the one exuding it.
The last thing you want to do is to look over accessorized, it may not be the most flattering look in the eyes of your peers. Please go minimal and have a simple comfortable look. Instead of stacking on all kinds of pieces, aim for stud earrings, simple hoops, and short necklaces. On a hot day pin your hair up and show off your cute earrings.
2. Wear Your Anklets
We all know in summer we mostly wear flip flops and sandals. Why not accessorize with anklets? Look like a walking goddess when you wear sterling silver anklets, or maybe you love your 9k or 18k gold anklets. These are all available at Aurex Jewellery . Anklets instantly upgrade your holiday look. They are fun yet elegant, include them in your Jewellery collection for summer.
3. Pick Quality Jewellery
As the old saying goes, cheap is expensive in the long run and as such, it goes without saying that your top priority should be investing in quality pieces. Obviously, quality comes at a cost. No wonder most people gravitate towards cheaper alternatives like plated brass or copper. These plated items usually flake and fade in the heat and its likely to irritate your skin or cause redness and rash.
Please pay attention to the material composition of what your jewellery is made from. Your skin will thank you for it and your jewellery will keep it’s shine for the duration of your summertime adventures. Just make sure you remove all your jewellery before any contact with the sea, shower, or pool to keep everything sparkly.
4. Avoid Exposing Gold Jewellery to the Sun and Beach Salt Water
Maybe you may have booked a holiday this summer to the beach, and you carried your quality gold pieces with you. Gold jewellery pieces can’t withstand the harmful and strong substances found in the sand, sweat and sea water. Prolonged exposure to these elements can cause your pieces to discolor. Make sure your you remove your jewellery when you know you are going to be in the sun for long or swimming at the beach. Also practice proper hygiene, take frequent showers were possible so you won’t wear your jewellery when you are sweaty.
With that I hope you enjoy the heat and always bear in mind these tips for wearing jewellery in summer.
