Sparkle & Shine: How to Choose the Right Jewelry for Prom

Prom night is your chance to glow, and we’re not just talking about your beautiful dress! The right jewelry can take your look from pretty to absolutely unforgettable. But with so many dazzling options out there, how do you pick the perfect pieces?

 

At Lasting Impressions, we’re here to make your choice easy and fun! Whether you’re planning to go all-out glam or keep it sleek and simple, here’s your guide to choosing the right jewelry for prom night.

 

1. Start with Your Dress
Before you dive into the jewelry box, take a good look at your dress and note some important characteristics that will help you make your jewelry choices:

 

Neckline: A sweetheart or strapless neckline? Perfect for statement necklaces or a delicate choker. A high neckline? Skip the necklace and go for bold earrings or a sparkling cuff.
Color: Cool-toned dresses (think blues, greens, and purples) pair beautifully with silver or platinum jewelry. Warm-toned dresses (reds, oranges, yellows) glow with gold accessories.

Details: If your dress already has heavy beading or embellishments, lean toward simpler jewelry. If it’s sleek and understated, you have the green light for a little extra sparkle!

2. Earrings Are Everything
At Lasting Impressions Formal Wear, we’re proud to offer a breathtaking selection of earrings made to complete your prom look.


From dramatic chandeliers to dainty studs, earrings can frame your face and bring the whole outfit together.

Updo hairstyles call for bold, dangly earrings that add drama.

Loose waves or straight hair pair perfectly with elegant hoops or sparkly studs that peek through effortlessly.

Looking to really make a statement? Try a fun ear climber or chic ear cuff for a modern twist.

3. Pick Your Priorities
Prom jewelry doesn’t mean you have to wear everything at once. In fact, less can be more! Choose one area to highlight:

 

Focus on earrings if your hairstyle and dress neckline demand it.

Make a statement necklace your centerpiece if your neckline is bare and begging for sparkle.

Stack bracelets if you’re skipping a necklace and want to add a little extra bling. By spotlighting one piece, you’ll avoid over accessorizing and keep the attention right where it belongs - on you!

 

4. Don’t Forget About Rings and Bracelets
While earrings and necklaces tend to get all the attention, rings and bracelets can be your secret weapon for pulling your look together.

Cuff bracelets add instant glam to sleeveless and strapless dresses.

Delicate bangles stacked together can shimmer beautifully when you’re dancing the night away.

Statement rings - whether it’s one oversized jewel or a few dainty stackables - bring just the right amount of bling without overpowering your look.

 

5. Match Your Metals
While mixing metals can be trendy, it’s usually best to keep things cohesive when putting together your prom look. Match your jewelry metal to your dress accents, your bag, or your shoe embellishments for a polished look.

6. Make Sure It’s Comfortable
No one wants to spend all night adjusting heavy earrings or worrying about a necklace that won’t just sit right. When you’re trying on jewelry for prom, make sure you move around some to get a good feel for it! Dance, shake your head, and make sure everything stays in place and feels light and comfortable.
