Jewelry, bijouterie and office dress code

Unless you are a freelance artist or socialite, you probably work in a commercial office or other institution where you spend a lot of time bumping into a lot of people along the way. Therefore, I want to look great, put on new beautiful outfits, and of course surprise and impress with the help of jewelry and bijouterie. But is everything appropriate in the office?

If you approach the choice of jewelry wisely - no, not everything is allowed in the office, because it is not for nothing that there is an office dress code that must always adhere to certain frameworks.

Jewelry, bijouterie for the office
The first and most important rule is the harmony of the whole image, from the hairstyle to the ring on the finger.

Jewelry or bijouterie should not distract from the work of either the company's employees or partners, or, first of all, you. The number of jewelry can vary from one to five (a ring - one or two, but no more, a chain with a small pendant, clips or earrings, a bracelet or, depending on the configuration of all jewelry, a watch can complement the image). Your choice may be limited to only one ring, bracelet or watch.

It is worth remembering that in many organizations, it is better not to wear jewelry that clearly indicates your belonging to a particular religion. This, incidentally, does not run counter to the teachings of the Orthodox Church. Any priest will say that there is no need to hang a large cross on yourself and display it. The cross is therefore called a pectoral cross, because it must be under clothing, and only clergy can wear crosses over clothing. The same goes for jewelry that indicates your belonging to Islam, and even zodiac signs are better not to wear to work.

For the office, you should not choose jewelry made of two or more contrasting metals. Multi-colored bracelets and chains of different colors of gold are out of place in the office. The ideal solution is all jewelry in one color - platinum, silver, white, yellow or red gold. Stones and various inserts in jewelry should not be flashy shades. Jewelry with diamonds or light shades of pearls.

Contrast has a right to exist, but the perception of the image as a whole should be taken into account. As a rule, jewelry with mixed materials is allowed on Friday, because on this day there is a more relaxed dress code.

Handmade jewelry made of felted wool, fur, large beads and multicolored beads will be inappropriate in the office. Although if you work as a designer in a very creative company, the scope of what is permissible expands significantly.

In addition, remember this fact - the sharp edges of crystals tune your interlocutors to intuitive self-defense, so smooth lines and warm shades are very well suited for an everyday look.

An expensive watch can become a wonderful decoration for your look, which should be kept in a general style (from a strap or a metal bracelet to a dial).

You can also buy or order something exclusive from jewelers, for example a pen decorated with gold and red stones.

Jewelry cost and office dress code
Price is a very important issue for jewelry. It must correspond to the place of work, position and level of salary. Depending on your place of work, the people who come into contact with you as part of the work may have different thoughts and associations.

If you are a young and beautiful girl, you may be thought of as a kept woman who receives jewelry as a gift from her rich lover.

And if you are a doctor, teacher, lawyer or government official, people may think that you are living beyond your means and buying expensive jewelry with money received from bribes and various gifts.

Do you care about the opinions of others?
In general, it is correct - you have to live for yourself and not be led by stereotypes and public opinion. True, within the framework of work, it is better to listen to these advice, because at work we interact with many people, on whose opinion our income, mood and quality of life in general depend.
