Your colorful paint job:
These color combinations work with jewelry
How often do you stand in front of your closet in the morning, unsure what to combine?
And once you've finally found something, the next challenge awaits: choosing the right accessories. Don't worry, we've got you!
ALEXASCHA has summarized the basics of color theory and the most important things about color combinations for you .
The first step for the right color combination:
The color wheel
The color wheel also shows the distinction between warm (red, orange, yellow) and cool tones (blue, green, purple). You'll certainly notice how different the colors are. Warm colors like red or yellow immediately conjure up energy, joie de vivre, and activity, whereas cool colors radiate calm, peace, and patience. Why you should internalize these basics? Once you understand that colors have a temperature, you can plan color combinations particularly well and gradually become more daring.
Which colors go well together?
1. Let's get started:
Basic colors
As a foundation for your outfit, you can use the basic colors:
A white blouse, gray jeans, or a beige sweater are the ideal base for wearing eye-catching jewelry. You don't have to worry about this combination; it looks timeless and sophisticated. Black and gray go particularly well with dark colors, while beige and white go better with lighter tones. It's worth having a few high-quality basic pieces in your closet that you can reinvent daily.
Of course, the same applies the other way around:
Have you shopped our RONDA earrings in black ?
Or do you love your white glass earrings with a mother-of-pearl look ?
These pieces can be combined in endless ways, no matter what outfit you're wearing.
They are the perfect companion for everyday life and complement all your colorful garments.
2. Play it safe:
The same color family
You're probably familiar with the saying "birds of a feather flock together." You can also apply this to your color combinations. Light blue jeans with a dark blue blouse or a lavender dress with pink statement earrings – these tones complement each other and create a harmonious overall look.
You can see the nuances on the color wheel: Colors that are right next to each other usually go well together and are a safe choice if you want to slowly take things a step further. Examples include red and orange, blue and green, or green and yellow.
This rule is to combine warm colors with warm colors and cool colors with cool colors.
3. For the brave:
Complementary colors
If you want to express your mood and truly shine, you need a colorful wow factor. You can achieve this with color-blocking looks and eye-catching jewelry. Combining them isn't so easy, though. To get a rough idea of your outfit, you can use complementary or contrasting colors. To avoid looking too over-the-top, we recommend combining no more than three different colors.
Complementary colors: Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are called complementary colors. When combined, their color intensity is particularly high and they shine brightly. Examples include red and green, yellow and purple, or orange and blue.
Contrasting colors: These colors are exactly three colors apart on the color wheel, such as red, yellow, and blue. The greatest possible contrast creates a bold look that makes a statement. If you find your color combinations according to this rule, you'll soon be a color-blocking queen or king.
