      This small format book is like those articles in magazines like Glamour or Mademoiselle about style. It shows the various types of jewelry, the best seasons to wear it in, and the best clothing to wear with the different styles. Line drawings that are almost vintage feeling show each example. Would be a good stocking stuffer for an early teen who likes Seventeen. I didn’t learn anything from in (other than that diamonds can be cut in a shape called ‘trillient’) but it would be great for a young girl.

    How to Wear Jewelry - Abrams

    INTRODUCTION

    T hroughout the ages, jewelry has served as symbolic totems and as a creative outlet to embellish appearance. From ancient Egyptian amulets believed to ward off evil to the infamous ropes of pearls favored by Coco Chanel, the function and style of jewelry has evolved, but its glittering presence has remained steadfast .

    HOW TO WEAR JEWELRY presents a range of styles for everyone—opulent costume showstoppers; whimsical, barely there pieces; traditional pieces set in classic materials—and offers inventive ways to wear necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, rings, and more. Whether you’re a seasoned bauble hoarder or a novice ready to kick-start a collection, consider this a guide to inspire your bijoux for years to come.

    SIMPLY CLASSIC

    Elegant pearls, tasteful diamond touches, and a few well-chosen pieces for the wrist — classic jewelry never goes out of style. It’s no wonder single strands of pearls and sets of diamond earrings have been coveted standby items for generations; they quickly elevate and refine any look.

    SIGNATURE PIECES

    PEARL NECKLACES // DIAMOND STUDS // PEARL BROOCHES // GOLD BANGLES AND CUFFS // TENNIS BRACELETS // CHARM BRACELETS // SIGNET RINGS

    CURATED COSTUME

    More is more and nothing is off-limits—including sparkling bracelets, stacks of large geometric rings, clusters of heirloom pins, and maxed-out chunky necklaces. But don’t mistake the magpie approach for lowbrow or lazy—every costume piece is carefully selected, and when worn together, the combination transforms into an artful work worthy of appreciation.

    SIGNATURE PIECES

    COCKTAIL RINGS // LARGE COLLAR NECKLACES // OVERSIZE BROOCHES // MULTI-STRAND NECKLACES WITH SEMIPRECIOUS STONES // STACKABLE BANGLES

    ARTFULLY MINDED

    Geometric pendants, abstract drop earrings, angular rings—these are the jewelry pieces that could be considered modern art in their own rights. It’s these bold pieces that add the final touch to a black-on-black ensemble or bring additional depth to a colorful outfit. When the pieces are carefully selected, the artfully minded jewelry wearer becomes a bona fide curator.

    SIGNATURE PIECES

    GEOMETRIC PENDANTS AND RINGS // SQUARE BANGLES // ABSTRACT PINS // MARBLE MOTIFS // CUBIC-CUT GEMSTONES

    UPDATED HEIRLOOM

    Aged rings that bear engraved monograms, gemstone pieces that have been passed down for generations, breathtaking antique finds that have been unearthed at flea markets—these priceless heritage pieces are full of character. Whether your heirloom jewelry is worn on its own or incorporated in with modern pieces, nothing makes an outfit more timeless than antiques.

    SIGNATURE PIECES

    ANTIQUE RINGS AND NECKLACES // MOURNING JEWELRY // GEMSTONES (onyx, moonstone, and turquoise) // GOLD LOCKETS // VINTAGE BROOCHES

    DIY CHIC

    Necklaces strung with homemade beads, friendship bracelets woven with care, and custom rings soldered in small studios — the best kinds of jewelry are the ones that are handcrafted with love by the jewelers who designed them. With the
