Choosing The Right Pageant Jewelry

When you start getting ready for a beauty pageant, the dress will likely be your first concern. However, the pageant jewelry you choose is just as important. The right piece of jewelry can turn a boring outfit into something stunning, while the wrong piece can ruin a great look. Even the tiniest part of your outfit can make an impact on the judges' final decision.

When you sign up for a pageant, they will mention any rules that restrict the kind of jewelry that can be worn. If you aren't familiar with the regulations in place, you'll be disappointed when you find out that your outfit's focus is outside of the pageant's limitations. If no rules were mentioned when you signed up for the pageant, look over their book of guidelines or check their website.

The goal of an accessory is to draw attention to key parts of your outfit; but if the piece is too gaudy, it can actually detract from the overall look. Search for tasteful, subdued pieces that will compliment your dress. The more over the top the piece of jewelry is, the smaller the chance that it will actually look good during the show.

Chances are you're only going to wear that perfect necklace for one night, which means you should keep the price down if possible. Look for affordable options, like renting or buying used. If price is a concern, and it likely is, keep that in mind before setting your heart on that perfect pendant.

Remember to make sure that the accessories you choose match the rest of your outfit, even if they aren't part of a set. A pair of earrings can go with a necklace if the metal and stones are the same, but if the differences are glaring, you should choose something else. Likewise, the colors and shapes should work with the dress that you choose, not against it.

You should also ensure the jewelry goes with the wearer's skin tone. Cooler skin tones tend to look good with silvers, while warm skin tones look good with gold or bronze. While there are always exceptions, this rule can help make sure that your skin shines.

Remember that you don't necessarily need a lot of accessories. Some girls like to wear bracelets, earrings, a necklace, and something in their hair. While this can look good, it's also acceptable to go for a simple necklace and earring combination, minus the extras. Choose a look that's right for your outfit, and don't worry if you think there's not enough.

Remember to double check that each piece is in good condition before the day of the competition. Small dents or spots of rust won't always be visible from a difference, but they can detract from the elegant look of your outfit. The judges will be looking for perfection, so polish and repair everything well in advance.

You can choose any accessories that you want, but they should make you feel comfortable. When you present yourself to the judges, make sure you are confident in how you look and what pageant jewelry you chose. If you feel confident with the accessories you decided to pair with your outfit, it will certainly show.
