As with all the finer things in life, there is a correct
and incorrect to way to wear and act around
jewellery. To ensure you don’t have a social hiccup
we’ve set out our top 10 rules.

ignore the bores who say you can’t mix metals, as it’s now totally
acceptable to mix platinum and gold jewellery. it is the same as
insisting that you mustn’t wear navy with black, or red with orange.
time has changed, and fashions have moved on.
You shouldn’t wear a ring on your middle finger; it simply is not done.
However, the Duchess of Cambridge used to do this before getting
married, so maybe this will change in time.
After you give birth, you get a ‘push’ present. You just do, it’s not
negotiable.
if you are lucky enough to have inherited a set of pearls, wear them. if
a necklace and bracelet makes you feel too twinset, have the necklace
converted into an ultra chic set of bracelets.
Less is more; no one wants to see a Christmas tree walking into the
room. Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one
piece of jewellery. if you have a tendency towards the eccentric, we
suggest removing two or three, check again, then repeat.
