A trip to the beach can be the best getaway on hot summer days, provided you pack wisely for the trip. Grabbing your swim suit, along with your iPod and a few good books should be pretty much a no-brainer, but what about your accessories? Even the most gorgeous looking swimsuit will not be able to reveal its true charm unless accented with the proper jewelry. Here are some ideas that are sure to make an impression, no matter what kind of swimwear you are packing for the beach.

Always remember the all-occasion golden rule – don’t overdo it with jewelry. You don’t want to come across as gaudy. Pair up a simple swimsuit with a stunning piece of jewelry, but be sure you know when to stop. You don’t want to look like a walking jewelry showcase. If you are wearing an estate jewelry piece like a heavy necklace, then wear a couple of simple stud earrings and maybe a few bangle bracelets, but that should be all. Your estate jewelry should draw attention to you without making you look like a showoff.

If your swimsuit features intricate designs or a kaleidoscope’s worth of colors, then it will be attracting plenty of attention on its own. All you need to do it add to the oomph with a pair of earrings. Here is where you can be a little adventurous. Pick a set of earrings that will look perfect on you, depending on your face shape.

Do you have a thinner face? Then dangle earrings with a wide bottom portion will be your best bet. A round or oval face with a much fuller appearance would be best complemented by rectangular earrings. These will create an illusion of less fullness of the face. A receding or small chin would be suitably complemented by earrings of shorter length. These earrings will create an illusion of  being located higher than they are, drawing attention up to you eyes.

Bangle style bracelets are another kind of attention magnet that you can use to properly accessorize your every outfit. This is where you can afford to be a little playful. Mix and match your bangles of various styles. It will attract attention without making you look odd.

Chunky jewelry is not exactly a no-no for the summer season, provided you know exactly how to carry it. Maintain a balance in the ensemble, and you will do just fine.

Estate jewelry can add glamour to your ensemble, the likes of which are not possible for other types to attain. The styles of old days can still add an unbelievable oomph to your everyday ensemble. Whether you are having an executive lunch in office or busy being the center of attention at your birthday party, estate jewelry will draw attention to you like no other type of jewelry. This is why, you should have at least a few estate jewelry pieces in your collection at all times.

Here are some of the best types of estate jewelry you can have in your collection:

Bracelets

Estate jewelry bracelets are some of the most versatile jewelry pieces you can ever purchase. Made of gold or platinum and studded with sapphires or ruby, these bracelets add a touch of color to your ensemble. Preferably, team these up with white gowns or monochrome office suits. That will bring into focus the true glitter of the bracelets.

Necklace

Are you planning to wear a white gown with a slightly bold design? An estate jewelry necklace studded with precious stones can be the perfect complement to that. You can even wear these with office suits, provided you don’t keep the shirt buttoned up all the way. After all, if nobody can see your estate necklace, then what is the use of wearing it in the first place?

Ring

Estate rings are difficult to buy, ironically because there are so many choices available. You will have a hard time choosing one estate ring out of a collection. However, a ring set with a diamond or a large emerald at the center will look great with almost any kind of outfit. Even casuals can be spiced up with this type of ring.

Earrings

Some women do not like the slightly heavier nature of estate earrings. But if you do not mind the extra weight, you will have an all-occasion accessory in your hands. Whether you are going to spend a quiet day at the beach, or join your friends for a drink in the pub, the stylish and durable estate earring will be your faithful companion for years to come.

Always make it a point to purchase estate jewelry from reputable jewelers only. Also, try not to order these online. Estate jewelry is best seen up close and personal before you shell out the cash. Try out various combinations before you purchase. There’s no telling which combination may catch your fancy.

Wear a pair of stud earrings set with diamond or pearl, and you can be sure of making a lot of heads turn.

3. Cocktail Ring: This will lend an air of independence to your ensemble. Some women don’t like wearing bridal jewelry too often, choosing to reserve those for special occasions instead. But a cocktail ring is something that you can wear any time you want; be it a night out with your friends, or a formal dinner at your workplace.

4. Bracelet: Nothing else can draw more focus to your wrists, but that is not the only thing bracelets can do. A chunky gold bracelet can be worn with short-sleeved dresses, or over long sleeves as well. Any kind of engravings on the bracelet will earn you extra brownie points.
