How to accessorize your lucky red this Lunar New Year!
2024 is the year of the Dragon, and according to the Chinese Zodiac predictions, Rabbits, Oxes, Dogs, Goats, and Dragons will all face challenges. The first challenge you’ll face is how to accessorize your red outfit with the perfect jewelry during any Lunar New Year celebrations.
While we can’t help with all of the challenges you’ll face in 2024, we can assist you with finding the perfect jewelry to wear with red this Lunar New Year.
Accessorizing Your Lucky Red Dress
There’s no denying that a bold red dress makes quite a fashion statement. Just think back to actress Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge or Julie Roberts in Pretty Woman and how iconic those red dresses were.
Red is not only lucky but also an absolute show-stopping color, and you’ll be sure to stand out from the crowd when you bust your favorite red dress. However, choosing the right jewelry to wear with a red dress or outfit can be pretty challenging.
Let our experienced team at deBoulle help you find the perfect jewelry to wear with your favorite red outfit this Lunar New Year.
What Goes Better with Red, Gold or Silver?
Whether you choose gold or silver will ultimately come down to the look you’re trying to pull off with your outfit.
The warm tones of gold jewelry will compliment a red outfit perfectly and add a touch of old-school Hollywood glamor to your ensemble. However, silver or white gold will help enhance and complete a modern look with some additional shine. White gold gives your outfit a fresh look, especially when combined with the beautiful and unmistakable sparkle of diamonds.
At deBoulle Diamond & Jewelry, we stock a wide selection of beautiful diamond jewelry and timepieces, including exquisite diamond rings, necklaces, and earrings, that will pair perfectly with your favorite red dress this Lunar New Year.
Matching Red with the Perfect Gemstones
If you’ve settled on the metal color, gold, white gold, or silver, it’s time to focus on the gemstones. Like the metal you choose, different gemstones will help you to create different looks with your red outfit. A lot will come down to what look you’re going for, what you’re wearing, and what type of event you plan on attending.
Below are our favorite choices when it comes to a red outfit and pairing it with the perfect gemstones:
-
Natural and Lustrous Pearls – If you’re looking for an effortless look that simply screams class, you can’t go wrong pairing pearls with your red outfit or dress. A single-strand pearl necklace with that vintage or antique set of pearl earrings you’ve been holding onto will add the perfect amount of elegance to your outfit without screaming, ‘Look at me.’ This combination works with both evening and day occasions.
-
Shining and Sparkling Rubies – When you want to turn heads in your red dress, you can swap out the pearls for the show-stopping sparkle of rubies. While matching red with red can be risky, a sophisticated red dress and bold ruby jewelry combination can be absolutely stunning.
-
Risky Yet Rewarding Onyxes – If bold and striking is your theme, and you want to add a little bit of edge to your red outfit, then a black onyx or black pearl combination could be perfect. This rare combination is ideal for a cocktail party or formal dinner, and a deep red lipstick will create a show-stopping look.
The Perfect Accessories for Your Red Dress
There are a lot of different types of jewelry that pair perfectly with a red dress or outfit, but it’s essential that you don’t overdo it. Think about things like an understated earring and bracelet combination or one bold show-stopping necklace. Cocktail rings featuring the gemstones we mentioned above work well, but don’t overdo it.
Accessorizing a red dress is all about balance. Try to stick with one statement piece or a well-balanced mix of smaller, understated items.
At deBoulle Diamond & Jewelry, we stock a wide selection of beautiful diamond jewelry and timepieces, including exquisite diamond engagement rings, perfect for an engagement proposal or special occasion or to let someone know how much you care and appreciate them.
