If you have a sizeable jewellery collection, you'll likely end up with favourites you never take off... while the others go overlooked. Even as a jeweller, I forget to switch up jewellery occasionally!
Much like a traditional capsule wardrobe, creating a jewellery capsule each season is a great way to make sure you're getting the most wear out of everything in your wardrobe. It's one of the ways I've been changing my outfits with fresh seasonal jewellery pieces.
By putting together a seasonal jewellery capsule to match your summer outfits, you'll get more wear out of your existing wardrobe and have more interesting style—here's how.
What is meant by capsule collection?
A capsule collection is a curated selection of wardrobe pieces, specifically chosen because of their versatility. The purpose of a capsule wardrobe is to simplify the process of getting dressed by creating a cohesive selection of clothing and accessories. These items can mixed and matched to create a multitude of outfits for different occasions with very little effort.
How do you make a jewellery capsule?
A jewellery capsule collection can be made in the same way as a clothing capsule wardrobe, by choosing versatile essentials that suit your lifestyle and compliment your personal style. Learn how to create a jewellery capsule with tips on choosing the best jewellery essentials for your wardrobe.
How to Create a Summer Jewellery Capsule
Summer calls for lightweight accessories that are easy to wear and won't weigh you down. It's best to opt for minimal jewellery that can be layered, rather than heavy statement pieces. Think barely-there chains, stackable rings, and simple earrings—pieces that can easily be dressed up or down.
When choosing summer jewellery, make sure to opt for eco-friendly metals like recycled gold and sterling silver, which can withstand a dip in the sea. You don't want your favourite pieces to end up damaged so here's how to avoid jewellery tarnishing with tips on keeping jewellery clean.
Summer is all about embracing beach-inspired elements like seashells and natural stones in playful styles and colours. If you want to add a fun accent to your summer fits, enamel necklaces, raw crystal pendants, and statement earrings are the perfect choice for this season's jewellery capsule. They instantly liven up an outfit, keeping your wardrobe feeling fresh.
When it comes to choosing jewellery pieces for a capsule wardrobe, opt for different length chains so they can be layered, pick rings with different rings and textures, and a selection of earrings from studs to threaders. Don't shy away from trying out different styles if you want to create a unique jewellery capsule that reflects your personal style.
