A hairstyle isn't just a backdrop for jewelry. It's its natural partner. Badly chosen, it can drown the jewelry out. Well chosen, it lifts the whole look. That's why people increasingly ask: how do you match jewelry to a hairstyle?

Up-dos: when earrings say everything

A bun, a low ponytail, a sleek up-do — these reveal the face, neck and ears. The perfect moment for: longer earrings, organic forms, a shine that catches the light — or even several earrings and ear cuffs for that ear-party effect.
The simpler the up-do, the more space you have for striking jewelry. Earrings with an irregular texture contrast beautifully with sleek hair and give a look an artistic edge.

Hair down — subtlety instead of competition

With hair down, jewelry shouldn't "fight" for attention. What works: smaller earrings, ear cuffs, forms that hug the ear.

A perfect choice for everyday — and for evenings out in a more nonchalant style.

Asymmetry and the deliberate detail

One of the strongest trends of the last few seasons is asymmetry:

• one ear cuff + one earring,

• one bold accent on the side where the hair is swept back.

A move that looks natural — but very deliberate.
