Take the opportunity to wear your most elaborate jewels when attending a formal black tie event. Such events are the right place to show off your cocktail ring or your biggest diamonds. Don't be afraid to play up the sparkle factor.
Instructions
1. Coordinate the color of your earrings, necklace, and bracelet to with your dress. If your dress is black or silver, choose platinum or white gold. If your dress has gold in it, or is red, opt for gold jewelry.
2. Consider matching your jewelry to the jewelry your date is wearing for the black tie event, such as his watch or cuff links.
3. Match your black tie jewelry to your eyes. If you've got green eyes, choose emerald jewels to make them pop. If your eyes are blue, choose blue sapphires. If you're unclear about what color to choose, diamonds are always appropriate.
4. Pay attention to the size of the jewelry you wear to the black tie event. If you have a V-neck dress, opt for a drop-style necklace. If you're wearing a strapless gown, you could wear a larger and more elaborate necklace.
