How to Choose Jewellery That Matches Your Style
The jewellery you wear is more than just an accessory - it’s an extension of your personality. Whether you lean toward minimalism, bold statements, or soft coastal details, the right piece can bring a look together and help you feel like yourself. Choosing jewellery that suits your personal style doesn’t need to be complicated - it’s about finding pieces that feel right for your everyday life, your outfits, and your mood.
Below, we’ve shared a few ways to figure out what works best for you - with inspiration drawn from relaxed, beach-inspired designs that feel timeless and personal.
Start with Your Own Style
Your jewellery should feel like a natural extension of your wardrobe. Do you gravitate toward flowy dresses, linen shirts, and earthy tones? Or is your style more structured, polished, or minimal? Knowing your general vibe helps narrow down what kind of pieces you’ll actually wear often.
If your style is easygoing and grounded in nature, pieces inspired by the coast - like shells, palm trees, or organic textures - might speak to you. These designs feel relaxed but intentional, and they layer well without ever feeling overdone.

Choose Pieces That Fit Your Life
It’s easy to fall in love with something beautiful - but will it work for the way you live? If you spend a lot of time outdoors or on the go, look for jewellery that’s lightweight, smooth, and comfortable enough for everyday wear. Delicate necklaces and easy stud earrings are a great place to start.
On the other hand, if you love to dress up or want to make a subtle statement, choose pieces with texture, shape, or meaningful details. Think shells, ripples, and silhouettes inspired by natural elements. These pieces hold their own without overpowering your look.

Let Jewellery Work with Your Outfit
When choosing jewellery, consider how it complements what you’re wearing. A layered necklace can make a simple neckline feel intentional. A small charm can balance a patterned dress. Your jewellery doesn’t need to match perfectly - it should just support the overall feel.
For a casual, beachy look, try pairing a delicate shell necklace with soft layers or linen. If you’re dressing up, silver studs or a fine chain with a nature-inspired pendant adds polish without feeling too formal. Pieces that nod to the outdoors and the coast tend to blend easily with most outfits - they're grounded in nature, but never predictable.
Layering: Keep It Personal
Layering jewellery is a great way to personalise your look. You can keep it simple with a couple of fine chains or mix things up by combining different lengths and textures. Try starting with a shorter necklace and adding a longer pendant or charm. Varying the shapes - like a circle pendant and a palm tree charm - keeps it interesting without feeling busy.
Rings and bracelets can be layered too. Choose pieces with similar finishes but slightly different textures to keep things cohesive. When it feels like too much, just take one off - layering should feel fun, not forced.
For inspiration, explore our necklace collection to see how different shapes and lengths can work together in a relaxed, beach-inspired stack.
Consider the Metal That Feels Most Like You
Some people naturally gravitate toward warm, gold tones. Others prefer the cool glow of silver. Neither is better - it’s about what suits your skin tone, your clothes, and your vibe. Silver feels fresh, minimal, and timeless. Gold feels warm, grounding, and a little more statement-making. You can mix metals too - layering silver and gold pieces gives you flexibility and a more lived-in look.
If you’re not sure what suits you, start with one piece you love and build from there. Our collections include both silver and gold-plated jewellery, so you can test out different tones and see what works for your personal aesthetic.
Let Jewellery Reflect What You Love
The most meaningful jewellery reflects what matters to you - not just trends. It could be a shell that reminds you of summer, a wave-shaped ring that brings you back to a favourite place, or a charm that feels grounding. When you choose jewellery that tells your story, it becomes more than decoration - it becomes part of who you are.
Whether your style is bold or quiet, playful or refined, jewellery gives you space to express yourself without needing to say a word. You don’t need a big collection - just a few pieces that feel like you.
