matching necklace and earrings

[lorelei9]

is this still considered twee?

asking because - I don't really wear earrings tbh, they irritate my skin no matter what. But, I have a posh do coming up next week and I have matching set that someone gave me last Xmas and thought they might be nice. I can't find anything similar to show you but they are quite small earrings and pendant in a simple design, so it's not like a big flower pendant with big flower earrings IYSWIM.

a good comparison would be this set

The set is rose gold and that's part of the issue - if I don't wear them together, I have no rose gold earrings so wouldn't have any at all.

is that horribly twee? It's for a smart evening do in a conservative-ish venue.

Thanks!

If they're both small and simple, I think it would look fine.

thanks Melanie.

Yes I agree, if very subtle you can probably get away with it.

Sorry, but matching set is twee, as are dangly earrings.

The necklace would look lovely on its own.

I think it sounds fine too.

Not into sets either. I would wear the necklace with big studs. Although I see the problem with rose gold. Have you got any studs with just diamanté where you can't really see the metal?

Not together, I always stick to the old saying, look at yourself in the mirror and take one thing off, I would never wear dangly earrings with a necklace like that. I'd wear studs at a pinch or the earrings on their own if dangly like that.

Actually I think it would be fine to wear the set.

Generally the tweeness comes from an outfit looking too considered - but a "posh do" is the one time when that is what's actually required. (I'm thinking of Oscar night as an example - no one says "oh that was all wrong, her 50 million dollar earrings actually matched her 200 million dollar necklace".)

But I'd keep the rest of your outfit as simple as possible - plain neckline, no brooch or bracelet or bling of any kind - and sleek, restrained hair.

Also, if it is a somewhat conservative (rather than fashion obsessed) occasion the other guests will only notice whether or not you look "nice". And you will.

I'm not much of a fashion person, so the idea of removing one accessory doesn't apply to me at all IYSWIM.

the earrings aren't dangly, sorry, I just linked for an obviously matching set and that was the first one that came to hand. They are studs but they probably overhang the earlobe by about 2mm or something like that.

I don't know, I just had it in my head that was twee to completely match but perhaps in a case of quite small jewellery it doesn't matter.

It is quite twee, but, at the end of the day, you like it, you wear it. I'm sure you'll look lovely.
