Overview:

Gold Dress

Before contemplating which jewellery to pair with your gold dress, you need to consider the dress's design and the textile used.  A fitted midi dress, flowing maxi dress, cocktail, or sequined dress are all variants of gold dresses that can sway your jewellery choices.  Remember, the neckline of your gold dress will ultimately decide if you will be choosing a necklace or earrings to accompany your style, and the right colour sphere will define your look.

How to accessorise a gold dress with the right jewellery will come down to the occasion you are styling for.  As a rule, choose minimal pieces like drop earrings or studs, to add some sparkle to your ears, a dainty chain or pendant necklace, to draw attention to your neckline, and a sleek clutch in a neutral colour, to keep your essentials in place.

There’s nothing more satisfying than pairing gold jewellery with gold dresses.  It’s all about symmetry and the flow of unity that makes gold on gold so attractive.  Depending on the dress's design, the choice of your jewellery should be influenced by gold; gold earringsgold rings and gold chains.  For a deep contrast to your golden look, introduce some colour to your lips, eyes, shoes, and clutch.

Gemstones And Gold Dresses

Accessorising a gold dress with gold jewellery is the ultimate pairing but that’s not to say that colours won’t work.  On the contrary, deep contrasting colours like teal, blue, purple, green, and black pair magically with a gold dress.  Accessorising a gold dress with gemstones ignites a passion for your style and lures to your aura.  Anything gemstone adorned in hues of deeper tones will look fabulous on gold dresses. 

Try to keep your gemstones consistent if you want a more conforming look.  Pick a colour and stick to it throughout your entire outfit.  If you want to be playful, then you should mix up the colours of your accessories but choose colours that are complementary to each other, not clashing.  Think emerald and sapphire, or amethyst and aquamarine and always be consistent with carrying this theme through to your makeup, handbag, and shoes.

Gold Cocktail or Sequined Dresses

A cocktail dress is typically a formal dress that has a hemline above the knees.  A gold cocktail dress should include earrings, a bracelet, or a bangle.  Try to choose pieces that are similar in design to carry simplicity all the way through your outfit, and if the gold dress has a sequined design, you should keep your jewellery choices minimal as the dress has enough embellishment already.  Avoid wearing too many rings with a gold sequined dress, instead, choose one standout ring that complements the design and blends with the flow of your other accessories.
