FAQ’s
Q1: How can I choose between gold and silver jewelry?
If you have warm undertones, gold usually flatters best. If you’re cool-toned, silver tends to shine. But rules can be broken, choose what you feel best in.
Q2: Can I mix metals and still look polished?
Yes! If done intentionally, mixing gold, silver, and rose gold adds depth. Use a base piece that combines both metals to tie it together.
Q3: How do I care for fine jewelry?
Store pieces in individual pouches, clean gently with a soft cloth, and avoid harsh chemicals. Keep pearls separate, they scratch easily.
Q4: Are statement pieces still elegant?
Absolutely. Just choose refined styles and wear one standout piece at a time to maintain balance.
