PEARLS IN A BUSINESS LOOK

There must be one question that every woman agonizes over in the morning: what to wear? In today's world, women spend most of their personal time devoting it to work and building a career. If you have chosen the path of a businesswoman, it is worth adhering to a certain style in clothing and jewelry. A woman in any of her manifestations must be at her best.

 The image of a true businesswoman is filled with restraint, elegance, lightness and brevity. This does not mean that you should stop being feminine, dress like a man in strict suits and completely forget about the luxury jewelry.

 Not at all! On the contrary, a refined businesswoman, skillfully emphasizing her taste in subtle details, can cause respect, interest and admiration.

Experts in the field of business dress code advise women with taste to have the following things in her casket: pearls, earrings with small stones capable to shine at the right moment and to emphasize the superiority of the hostess, rings, harmoniously matched with each other. Say "no" to large stones and rhinestones.

 Business jewelry is divided into categories:

 Top quality jewelry made of precious metals and stones.

This is a great investment: gold, pearls and diamonds can be relevant for decades. You must choose and wear them very carefully. Expensive, high-quality pieces of classic style as if to say: "I am successful and rich" .....

 Business woman jewelry made of semi-precious stones, mother-of-pearl, porcelain and good quality metals is not expensive, but elegant and superb in design. Very attractive in price.

Costume jewellery of high quality. This refers to two types of costume jewellery: replicas of jewelry and designer items which are accentuated by their "artificiality". The first type was given life by Coco Chanel. Costume jewellery of the second kind reflects current fashion and declares: "I am fashionable."

In our conversation about business jewelry today, we focus on pearls, a unique mineral that was adored by style icons like Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, and of course Coco Chanel!

 A string of pearl beads is a classic. Not only do pearls look chic, they add a natural luster to the face.

The modern jewellery brand Lerian considers pearls the most feminine and exquisite mineral, that's why its collections feature a lot of fashionable pearl jewelry.

From Lerian designers Anna and Maria we decided to find out for our readers some secrets and tricks of what pearl jewelry should be worn with a business suit.

 - Are there any clear rules for wearing jewelry for business style?

 - Yes, there is such a "golden" rule: you should not wear more than three to four pieces of jewelry to a business meeting or to work, and a wedding ring is one of them.

Before leaving the house, look in the mirror, and if there seems to be something unnecessary in the accessories, do not hesitate to take it off.

 You can assemble the accessories in the following sets:

 earrings, ring and chains

earrings, brooch and ring;

earrings, ring and beads;

Earrings, ring and bracelet.

 - There is an opinion that pearls are inappropriate for young girls, is this true?

- Certainly not! - Anna and Maria smile, - there are just a few rules, knowing which you cannot go wrong and look elegant in pearl jewelry. Here they are:

The younger the woman, the smaller the diameter should be chosen.

For the youngest, it should not exceed 6.5 mm.

For women around 30 years of age, pearls with a diameter of 8 mm will do.

After 40, you can afford to wear pearls of size 9 mm.

And after 50, you can safely wear a necklace of pearls with a diameter of 10 mm.

As you know, there are rules to break, but in the case of business style, it is better to stick to them - advised the designers of Lerian.

- What fashion trends exist today?

 Fortunately, in today's fashion world, pearls have not lost their relevance, and on the contrary in 2017 pearls are at the peak of popularity.

 White and even black can wonderfully complement an office style ensemble. Strict black or navy blue suit, white blouse will be in harmony with the jewelry. In this case, not very long threads are especially appropriate. And they can be worn both on top of the shirt and under the collar.

There is also a wonderful alternative to classic strands - lariats. Lariat is a long thread, which is fastened with a special clip in any place and tied with a knot, allowing you to create different images.

    By day we wrap it around the neck under a suit and leave the ends neatly in the neckline area, and in the evening we take off the jacket and leave the lariat without a twist. We are very fond of universal jewelry, because the modern rhythm of life dictates its rules and a real woman just has to quickly turn from a business lady into a cinderella!

Besides strings, today it is already impossible to imagine a business image without pearl pusets! Elongated earrings are also acceptable, but it is not desirable that they should be below the chin.

 Bracelets should not be massive, and pearl bracelets may damage while working with the computer, so you should take this into account.

 - Is it worth to wear bijouterie in the office?

 - Since business style welcomes minimalism, give preference to expensive bijouterie when composing your image.

 Opt for quiet, elegant and stylish jewelry. Keep it small but with a twist. Discreet chic is always noticed in a business environment. It is better to wear one expensive ring than a few cheap ones of dubious quality. If you are a businesswoman, your jewelry partners and clients will be able to identify the niche you occupy, "read" about your work success and make a conclusion - is it worth doing business with you and entering into big contracts.

 Lerian designers will tell you many interesting facts about pearls, such as that cultured pearls are the same as natural pearls, but they are grown on special farms under human supervision; pearls are a living organism and need to be worn on your body to keep them from getting dull and dry.

   And one more interesting fact: If your work requires cooperation with colleagues from other countries, then pearls must be treated with great attention, as in different countries they are interpreted differently. For instance, in England it is a symbol of respectability and prestige, while in Spain it is an element of mourning, especially black pearls. Perhaps we will save the rest of the information for the next article!d finally, here is some pearl fairy advice: wear perfume or other liquids before putting on your pearls, keep them apart from other jewelry, and wear your pearls more often!

   Have an elegant working day!
