The best streetwear jewellery

Okay, so this has been one of my most requested videos, not just a video on jewellery. I wanted to do like a really structured video, breaking down like sizes, all the places I’ve gotten jewellery from and the best places what you want to avoid.

So I want to just put it all in one video. So if you want to rate it or you want to see more videos like this let me know. This is the jewellery I wear on a day-to-day basis and I’ve had a lot more jewellery than just this in the past. I'll show you all of it but I wanted to kind of put it into a few different categories, so the first category I’d say is eBay rings.

This is the first place I looked when I kind of got into rings or started wearing rings. It makes sense because when you first get the rings you kind of just want like to buy a bunch of them. You kind of want to not pay that much, anymore kind of some simple design so if you go on eBay, there's a ton of ring designs. They're all relatively cheap. The ones that I bought maybe in the past is this flower ring that i still wear this day and then these two other rings are both kind of flowery.

They all are solid silver and I think they are about like $20, $25. So they're really cheap and they are real silver. It has been kind of trendy like to wear a ring on every finger, but I’m not super into that. I think it's better to kind of find some things that are meaningful to you, that you like.

The thing about eBay rings is there's a ton of them. A lot of them are from china, they’re shit from china. When you're buying rings from eBay you want sold silver. So nine two five silver, the silver i prefer. The thing about eBay is sometimes they're not what they claim they are. So they'll say it’s solid silver, it's real silver and either won't be silver at all. It will be some weird blend. I've gotten ones in the past and say they're sold silver, but I get them wet and they get kind of like a weird orange colour, so you have to be careful on that. Also even the ones that are solid silver can have a cheaper finish on them just because they're cheaper rings and they'll get super stretched up they'll get scuffed, they'll lose their colour and they'll kind of end up looking kind of like tin foil. That will happen with most eBay rings, I think when you're buying cheaper silver. It just kind of tends to happen. But eBay is definitely if you're just getting in the rings and wonder why the rings are a good place to look. For the ton of designs some keyword searches I would use. I would use maybe gothic, flower, skulls are really popular, basically anything you can think of like ram skull, grim reaper, whatever you can look them up and there's probably going to be a ring for it and it's not going to be that expensive.

Really the only eBay ring that I continue to wear is this little flower ring because it's simple. I like the design and that it wasn't expensive at all. The next category and not really in the category but it's kind of more like meaningful rings, so the ring I wear on my middle finger, my left hand is a ring that was a gift from my mom. It's like ancient Swedish it means something about love. It's a simple ring I like to wear because it has meaning to me obviously and so that's like kind of a other category like I know avery has like it's grandpa's ring or like something like that.

I think it was like a hundred dollars, it's also real silver the other ring i have is actually a ring that's dropping this Saturday, that me and my friend fernando rangel made. We work with a manufacturer, we made a good quality ring. I really like the design on it, it's solid silver, there's a lot of attention to detail on it. There's a rhodium plating this is actually a sample but the real ones will have who is jacov and fernando rangel engraved on the inside. Then it has like a nice little bag. This is a ring that I really like because obviously I love the design, it's good materials but means something to me. Like I said coming out this Saturday it's really affordable so if you want to check it out follow me on Instagram or twitter, I’ll be posting details about pulling trucks and before getting the bracelets I just kind of want to break down ring sizing.

It can be kind of hard to find your ring sizes. I did it through trial and error, but there are some charts online and there is ways to actually measure your fingers. So my index finger and middle finger size 9, my ring fingers are size 8 and my pinky the size 7. It is kind of nice to buy the cheaper rings from eBay, you could you can kind of figure out what size you are, but it is a lot easier to measure i was just too lazy at the time for some reason.

Definitely try to verify your ring sizes before you start buying rings, so you want them to fit on the finger you want. Different rings look good on different fingers. Thicker rings like this i don't think look the best on pointer finger, but on your ring finger i think it looks good. Same without yeah ring, i don't think it would look very good on your pinky, but on your ring finger, middle finger, pointer finger, i think it looks better.

So when you're buying rings you kind of want to kind of lay out your hand, pick a style and buy rings that go good together. That's a little bit about sizing nexus bracelets on my right hand i have a silver bracelet that i got from amazon, I believe was like $50. I'll link in the description, it's solid silver, it's six inches measuring your wrist is super easy. I just always keep it on me, but again because it is cheaper, just through wearing it, it's tarnished a lot. It's super hard to get on so don't bother taking it on and off. What has got really tarnished over the last couple months and on my left hand is the necklace I think my friend had and i just fit around my wrists three times.

This is something that's like super easy to do, if you don't want to buy a bracelet, just find like an old necklace and just wrap it up and then finally, the necklace I wear. I bought in a lot of necklaces in the past and I kind of figured out I don't really like wearing that many necklaces. So I have I think it's a size 18 necklace, this is also from eBay it was super, super cheap. Its real silver and it's just a little spider, tuck it in or wear it out depending on what I’m wearing. So yeah that's all the jewellery i wear. Those are a few the categories and sizing, again this ring is coming out on Saturday, so if you want to check it out but yeah that's my jewellery. That's some good tips. Again eBay is like a key place to find a bunch of cheap jewellery, so definitely check that out, but they go for watching my name is jacov p. So you guys thank you.

Jewellery organization & storage

So this is where I keep the bulk of my jewellery collection. I recently did a declutter video that I will link below where I pulled out literally all of the jewellery I own, laid them out on my table here and went through them one by one and really thought about am I even wearing this. You know what I mean, he's just sitting in my collection because I think it's pretty, but I’m not actually using it you know, so I really got rid of a lot of things and so now this is kind of its whittled down and I feel so much better because I’m really only keeping the things I genuinely wear.

So this jewellery box I got at target for $24.99 it's just three drawers and it's mirrored on all sides so it's kind of a pain to keep clean but so cute and it works really well and it's perfect to hold little things on top of like perfume. So let's go ahead and tear into this and see how I organized it so in this first drawer I kind of have to hold the camera for this part because there's no good way to get a good angle of this top drawer. So in here I just keep all of my dainty necklaces, so I like to keep them this way where they're all the charms are right there so I can see exactly which one of these because if I could only see the gold chain necklace you know I’ve got two silver and two gold how would I know the difference.

So in plus it kind of helps to keep them separate from each other in a way but there's still close enough that they're not taking up tons of room and it works so much better than where I used to keep them where they were all dangling together on my little earring tree and they would get caught up and I would end up just wearing the same necklace each day because it was the one that was just in the front you know, so this is great and it's been pretty easy to keep it this way which I really like and then over here I’ve got other like just really special things that I don't want to get mixed in with my other jewellery, for example this is a bracelet my mom just got me for graduation.

My parents got me so that's kept there this is this is something I just recently got and it's by the brand so feel I don't really know how to say it I’ll put the link below but it's basically like a Pandora bracelet except for it is way cheaper like insanely cheaper and my mom has a Pandora bracelet and I was looking she showed me her book because I was just kind of looking at it and I always think about getting our chumps, but they're like 40 or $50 per charm depending and some of them are a little cheaper, but most of them are right around that price range and it's just insane, but these the chumps are all like seventeen to twenty dollars, so I figured I would set it down.

so I can show you this in more detail cuz I really do love this so I’ve got like my initial little mickey mouse, music notes, I’m Irish so a shamrock my birthstone, garnet, a little princess carriage just because it reminded me of Cinderella, a cross in the last charm. It's just something I got from a random charm bracelet I already had but the one thing I wish I got and I’m a moron I knew this is all new to me so I didn't know you had to get like little clamps or whatever to kind of hold them in place, so they don't slide off every time you open the bracelet.

So I’m gonna have to be so careful when i take it off but I need to get some whatever they're called spacers or the clips but they sell them on the site for again really cheap so all of these are like seventeen to twenty dollars whereas the fainter ones are like an arm and a leg. They are stupid expensive and this these really do feel really well-made and like I said I was comparing to my mom's and I can't tell the difference to be honest so I just had to share that with you guys because it was really is a good deal and if you're in the market for one of these or even if you're wanting to buy charms for someone you could totally get them from this site and they would fit on the Pandora bracelet too.

So that's another thought and so the last thing in this top drawer is just a really special pearl necklace that I got from my boyfriend's mom for my graduation that I adore and I love it because it's got it's not just a plain pearl necklace, it has these little black beads on it and I think that's just so cool because it just makes it just that little bit different. So it's not just the plain pearls I really really love it so those are kind of all my special items there in this first drawer the second drawer is instead of being completely open there is a divider here and on this side I have most of my bracelets.

So I really only kept a few I kept this one and then this is when I got in a wantable box and then a few others in that matching pearl bracelet and then one from twisted silver and then over here I have my three favourite kind of smaller braid nut bracelets. My three smaller necklaces that aren't like huge statement necklaces, so I was able to still kind of organize them this way so they're not getting all mixed up with each other but I like having them all here because these I wear all the time.

My statement necklaces, I wear you know really not that often but these and my dainty ones I wear on an everyday basis so I like having these all here together and the last drawer is again divided into two sections and this is actually the ring holder so it's got a ton of those rows that you stick your rings between but instead I am using them for stud organization. I was really excited about that because it just kind of hit me one day and I was really I tried it out and it worked and all my studs that I wanted to keep fit in there, so I was so ecstatic that worked well and you know they don't move around and even the big ones the little back part still will fit in there.

So it works really well and this is again a gauge for me all of this is to make sure that I don't get too much jewellery that won't even fit in here because I don't need that many studs but I wear studs more than I wear anything in my ears. So I’ve got quite a collection, I’ve got some my little mickey studs in there, some ones I got from wantable a lot of these are from shop lately, my little pink bow earrings that remind me of Minnie I actually got on shop lately as well. I end up wearing my just boring silver ball earrings all the time as well as my like cubic zirconium little studs.

I wear those all the time and then I have the two watches that I wear all the time just sitting over here I used to have. I was saying this in my declutter video I used to have like 10 watches and they were all really inexpensive but I had all these bright colours and I just I think I’ve just kind of outgrown them and for me I realize on a day-to-day basis I really just needed something with silver and something with gold and that kind of covers any kind of outfit I would wear. So love love love these - this one's geneva which is a really inexpensive one like ten dollars you can buy on amazon and they have all kinds and this is the brand berg ebu rgi.

I don't know how to say it but it was a more expensive brand but I really really liked it and I got it on hautelook for really cheap moving to the right of where that jewellery box was is where I keep my dangly earrings now this I also went through in that declutter video the piece that's holding this was bought a long time ago at big lots for really cheap. So they don't sell this exact one, but big lot still sells a bunch and you can buy earring trees anywhere. I think Claire sells them, you can buy them online if you just type in earring tree and they have much cuter ones in this one this kind of boring but I kind of like that because it's already enough colour going on that I don't want it to look any more cluttered than it already might.

So I like the black anyway but this is what I ended up keeping out of all of my collection. I've got kind of my hoops here and just kind of more muted dangly things there my big old favourite medallion earrings. There these were from target premier designs shop lately premier designs wanna bowl premier designs target shop lately, I don't remember where from and shop lately a lot he's roughly it's almost embarrassing when I see how much money I’ve spent on that site, but there everything's usually like under five dollars so it's a win right? I mean that's not bad but these are all earrings that i wear all the time and I love so those are the ones that I kept and again this is a great way for me to gauge. I don't want to have that much more than this and I certainly don't want more than what I can hold on this but you can see there's a lot of room to grow.

I just kind of space everything out a little more but I certainly have room to grow there so we're now in my closet which is where I keep the few statement necklaces that I kept, sorry this is the lighting's poor but well we are in my closet. I kept this one which I think my boyfriend got, well I know he got it for me, I just don't know where from.

This was from shop lately, I wear all the time this was a premiere designs longer one that I think is really pretty. I'll kind of pull it up so you can see the bottom. I like that one this is one I just recently got from wantable that I really like and then this is a twisted silver one that I really like and I probably could have fit it in my jewellery box, but it would have been kind of cramped in any of the drawers that i would have put it in, so I figure it gets knotted up easily since it's two kind of bizarre strands. So I wanted to keep it kind of separate.

So I keep those in there just kind of on one of these like purse hangers or hat hangers and I’ve got other things in here going on that I need to clearly declutter. My purses and things like that but that's where I’m keeping those big statement necklaces so that they're not getting tangled up and so that I can see what I have there.

Statement Necklaces

Welcome to so fashion basic. I'm Catherine, so after taking a look at my dog I'm sure you guys all know what I'm going to do today. I'm going to show you how to style statement necklaces. I will explain the outfit with statement necklaces idea, with four different occasions.

Each occasion I will show you three outfits with three different kinds of statement necklaces. All the clothing items I'm going to use, it's the transitional items from early fall to winter. I hope this will give you an idea about how do you utilise the necklaces in your everyday life.

The first occasion I'm going to do is work days. Statement necklaces it's always great for work. Here I'm showing you a little black dress that everyone has in your closet for work with a detail and silver colour lace like statement necklace. It gives you a very pretty neckline but still makes you stay in an appropriate attire to please everybody in your office. The second can work outfit is a black shirt, shirt is always great for work but it's always boring but by adding a statement necklaces, here is a chain necklaces under the collar which makes it more fun but it's still less dramatic.

The last shirt I'm showing you for work is a coloured shirt, it's our green shirt that you can wear on your casual Friday workdays. So here I'm adding more colours by adding a blue colour stone statement necklace. We play this more fun to welcome the weekend, second occasion is about school days, being in school is always the happiest thing and fun thing. That's why we're playing very interesting by adding a full colour statement necklace which is covered by pearls and faux stones.

This would definitely makes you more younger looking and fun. The second fun school outfit is a very popular animal, bigger print shirt, to make this more fun we added another kind of statement necklace. Who says statement necklaces has to be something cross over your neck?

Here I'm adding coloured bow clip to my neck line which gives a very bold statement. The last outfit of school shows you when it gets cooler and colder, we have to put another sweater over. That's when we need to add a statement necklaces to make the boring outfit more fun and don't forget your glasses for class. Third occasion is about stay off casual days. In those day off and casual days we always want to stay simple and comfy, so here I opt for a shift dress but to make this more classic and stylish, I add a very artistic statement necklace over my neckline.

There's times we want to be very fashion-forward on our day offs, so here is a time to add a dramatic necklace over a dramatic top, to get your strong personality. Since now we're in the fall we want to look like in the season, that's why I choose a brown leather necklace over a false dial faux leather top to create a very fall look.

If you think it's too simple for you, add a gold chain necklace on top to make this even more chic for your day offs. The last occasion is going to be about dress-up days. Right now of course is the party season, that's why I'm showing you a right statement necklace for parties. This pano pearl and bead necklaces can totally give you that look even you are covering under a little black jacket.

Maybe when you are going to a wedding, you want to choose a pro stone with colour necklace to put over your white lace top to makes you looks very happy and bright and appropriate to create a new wedding couple.

If it gets really cold, how can we make a jumper or a sweater fancy? Definitely add a statement necklace on top of it. You can be warm and still fancy. Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time. Please remember to check out the other videos as well, bye.

Hi everyone, thank you for tuning in to Lindsay's latest. I have a very special guest on my channel today. This is, well, and very famous too. This is Molly Sims. Thank you so much, and she is here today. You actually brought everything too. I did, I come with jewellery, and I come with accessories, one of my favourite things.

Well I love jewellery, I know all of you guys out there love jewellery, and today we are going to show you guys how to accessorize. What is your biggest tip when mixing up your jewellery? Normally start long and go short, so I will do my longest piece first and then I take it almost like a grid all the way up; with about 3 inches apart and I normally wear something always here.

I'm wearing a lot of jewellery by the way. This is another tip that I always tell people if you're doing big up here you keep it small here, if you're having it here to keep it small here. Don't be afraid also now it's a little all that 80’s style but you can wear your jewellery on the outside. Oh absolutely, even outside of your denim jacket, outside of outerwear. Exactly, I love, I love, I love that.

I'm also a big wear of, like I don't do too earrings in the same much anymore. So right now I'm wearing like a little safety pin, can you see that, but then I'm just wearing like a little stud bar on the other side. So are you saying that symmetry and balance is out with jewellery? Symmetry and balance, all colourful bright mix metals like I have to say like I think the new trend is that anything goes.

I agree in that, I love anything goes because it makes it easier. I want you to give us a little tutorial. Okay. I want you to show us how to layer jewellery, you said the long and yeah but can you just enjoy like a quick like a few pieces. I know isn't it? Can that be my parting gift?

I actually have a little parting gift for you. Oh you do? Yeah great, I guess you just got to ask for things. I would always start long, start with the long, and like I would also like layer something like this. Yeah going to be too long, but I also play with links, depending on what you have. We can go like even shorter. This is also very slimming because it draws the eye up and down. Exactly. Which is like this dress, that's really tight.

Molly has a lot of things to share you guys and she has her own channel, so please make sure you subscribe. I'm going to put all the information to her channel in the description below. Okay, seeing what you're doing this looks for trying so good, no mirror, no I’m your mirror, but I'm the foreman on this whole job right now and I am like, good job. This looks great, okay, funky and I let me just make sure remember like you could even drop another one in here but really play.

Like I always say, mirror 360, go in front of a mirror like if you don't have a friend that's going to tell you have back fat, yeah and she's not your friend okay? So listen to me, it's like you know it, just put it together. Just put the end about it, so I think about it, you play like if something doesn't work clearly don't wear it. Thank you so much for your jewellery and accessories tips, I'm sure you guys got a lot of information from this.

Shopping for Solid Gold Necklace - Custom made Australian Jewellery

Shopping for a new solid gold necklace can be intimidating, there are so many styles of gold chains to choose from, not to mention all the different widths and lengths and all of the different colours of gold, it can be super difficult to pick all the right options. When purchasing for yourself, consider how you will wear the necklace. Will you be wearing it with or without a pendant? What style of clothing do you normally wear? Paying mind to what neckline would be flattering to your usual wardrobe. The length is important as it will predict where the chain will sit on your chest, a 45cm chain will sit quite high on a woman, usually sitting around her collars bones. Although he larger your build, the larger chain you might need.

Men’s gold chains will often be 55cm so they don’t sit too high. A large man may need a 60 or 65cm necklace chain to look good on them. Men usually wear a heavier or thicker chain than women as a finer chain can lack masculinity. We normally advise men to wear a necklace of a 5mm or greater width. The exception to this is when a pendant is worn on the necklace and the chain should be chosen to suit the pendant.

Most gold chains can be purchased in rose gold, white gold and the most commonly worn yellow gold necklaces. Although most men (and women) are likely to choose yellow gold, those who have won silver before might have a preference for white gold. Rose gold reached the height of its popularity in the early 1900’s, it was worn most throughout the 1920’s and is now making it’s grand come back in the last few years. It has a distinctly antique feel and the warm, coppery sparkle is appreciated by many women and quite a few men.

We have an extraordinary range of handmade gold necklaces at Fraser Ross, these can be made into any combination of white, rose and yellow gold or just one singular chain of solid colour. Our fancy chains can be customised by colour and length which means you can get personalise a unique style that not only suits you best but you can bet that no one else is wearing the same one. A good tip to help you decide on the length, width and colour of your gold necklace is to visit a jeweller and try on a few different colours and styles from their window, they probably won’t have the same extensive collection that you’ll find at Fraser Ross, but it will give you a good idea of what to go shopping for when you visit us. Don’t be shy in asking the shop assistant to write down the size and style for you so that you can compare these with what we see on our website. Jewellery shops are usually very helpful in hopes that you’ll return to purchase something in future but they are aware that people enjoy shopping around before making a final decision.

We like to have as much information in our store as physically possible to help you make a fair comparison with the jewellery you will see in physical jewellery stores. We offer the largest choice by having all of our necklaces and bracelets customisable in length and in the shade of solid gold or sterling silver.

Which Style Of Silver Bracelet Is Best?

Silver chains are universally flattering, but certain designs are more complimentary on certain individuals. Depending on who you’re shopping for, you may find a delicate figaro chain or a thicker belcher suitable for different people depending on what suits them and their personal tastes. But here’s a quick guide to to introduce you to some of our different styles of precious metal chains and who they’re most flattering on.

Belcher Chains : Men and women alike can wear a solid silver belcher chain bracelet. The width and weight of these chains has a lot to do wth who they suit most. Generally the thicker the belcher chain is in width, the more masculine the look ad these are generally better suited to men. But the thinner belcher chain widths are often most suited to women because the delicate design is seen as more feminine and pretty.

Figaro Chains : Figaro chains are definitely a favourite among men, these chains originated in Italy as a popular men’s style and are still popular to this day among men folk as necklaces and bracelets. Despite the fact that these are so popular among men, the thinner widths of these chains can be equally complimentary to women and have a much more feminine appeal.

Curb Chains : A similar style to the belcher chain, this style can be embraced by both men and women alike. The thinner widths of these chains compliment the slender curves of the feminine form, while the thicker and chunkier styles of belcher chains are more suited to the masculine form.

Other Chains : While these solid sterling silver chains are all beautiful classic styles, they aren’t the entirety of what we have on offer here at Chain Me Up. We stock a selection of solid silver chains that can be custom made to the length and width that you desire and can be completely customised with charms as well!

Shopping for a Solid Gold Necklace - Fraser Ross

Shopping for a solid gold necklace chain can be a bit intimidating. There are so many styles of gold chains, in different widths, different lengths and choices of the colour of gold that the choice isn’t always clear.

When buying for yourself, consider how you will wear the necklace. With or without a pendant, the style of clothing, paying attention to the neckline, and the colour of the dress or shirt you intend to wear it with.

The length of the necklace will affect where it sits on your chest. A 45cm chain will sit quite high on a lady, and normally be far too short for a man.  The larger your build, the longer the chain that will be needed for the same drop onto your chest.

Men’s gold chains will often be 55cm so they don’t sit too high. A large man may need a 60 or 65cm necklace chain to look good on them. Men usually wear a heavier or thicker chain than women as a finer chain can lack masculinity. We normally advise men to wear a necklace of a 5mm or greater width. The exception to this is when a pendant is worn on the necklace and the chain should be chosen to suit the pendant.

Most gold chains can be found in rose gold and white gold in addition to the most commonly seen yellow gold necklaces. Although most men will choose yellow gold, many who have worn silver jewellery will prefer to wear white gold necklace. Rose gold was very common in the early 1900’s and is making something of a resurgence in recent years. It has an antique feel about it and a warmth in colour that is proving alluring to many women.

We feature a large range of handmade gold necklaces that can be made in a single shade of gold or a combination of any two or three shades of rose, yellow and white gold. Our fancy link chains can be customised by colour and length, which means you could create a very distinctive or even unique style that you won’t see anyone else wearing.

A good tip to help you to decide on the length, width and colour of your gold necklace is simply to visit a jeweller and try some on. They won’t have every combination you can find online at Fraser Ross, but it will help to give you a better idea of which length and width of chain that will work for you.

Don’t be afraid to ask the shop assistant to measure the length and width of the chain so you can price compare like for like on our website. We show as much information in our store as we can to help you make a fair comparison with the jewellery you see in the retail stores.

We offer the largest choice by having all of our necklaces and bracelets being able to be made to the exact length you want, in any or all shades of solid gold.
