When you are a mum, you don’t have a lot of time for yourself. Between your job, cooking, cleaning, feeding, homework, soccer practices, recitals, and PTA meetings, it is so hard to look your best. However, it is not impossible. Let’s stop for a moment and think about what Marilyn Monroe once sang – diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Well, not diamonds per se, but jewellery in general. It is true that accessories can make or break any outfit, so having a couple of pieces that can help you shine on any occasion is the way to go. With this secret weapon, you will look your best no matter what you do, and you won’t even have to try that hard. So, without further ado, here are a few jewellery tips that will help any busy mom.

Don’t overdo it

When you are tired from working and taking care of your little ones, you want to do something to look your best, and that is when you put your favourite jewellery pieces on hoping that you won’t look like an exhausted mom but an attractive woman. However, it is easy to overdo it and end up looking like a walking and talking Christmas tree. Therefore, if you wish to wear bolder, larger pieces that are colour-intensive like pieces from the Moon Magic collection of jewelry, stick to one trinket. Dangly earrings and a statement necklace are a match made in hell, so listen to that old saying ‘Less is more’ and wear one of them.

Buy versatile pieces

Did you know that there are some amazing pieces that can be worn in several different ways? Well, these ones are worth splurging on. For example, a long gold diamond necklace can be worn as a single strand, as a triple strand choker, or even around your wrist as a bracelet.

You might want to buy vintage pieces too, which are rare and unseen in most jewellery shops. Vintage or antique earrings, necklaces, and bracelets are usually kept as family heirlooms—pieces handed down from one generation to another. So, never underestimate the value of these jewellery items.

Pay attention to what others say

People usually pay attention to jewellery pieces, so you definitely have one or two that won you a compliment. If your necklace or your earrings have caught someone’s attention several times in a row, remember that piece and wear it more often. It surely suits you well and enhances your look in the best possible way, so don’t be afraid to parade it around.

You may also receive compliments on social media when you post your selfie photos. Many mums love to flaunt the jewellery they wear on special occasions, like when they attend weddings or parties. Just because you’re already a mom means doesn’t mean you can’t stand out from the crowd. After all, mothers are the epitome of empowered women. Hence, you have every right to wear whatever jewellery you prefer that’s pleasing to your eyes and to other people as well.

Listen to your heart

When you find a piece that instantly catches your eye and you fall in love with it in a second, don’t hesitate to buy it. That reaction is powerful, and it comes from the heart. You will surely love that piece every time you put it on and feel much more confident when wearing it, so respect your instincts.

As a strong, independent woman, nothing or nobody should stop you from wearing the type of jewellery you desire if you feel confident and beautiful doing so. You can wear a dangling silver earring when shopping in the supermarket paired with a crop top and a pair of ripped navy-blue jeans. On the other hand, you can wear a lovely floral dress and a combination of fine pearl and gold necklaces to make you look more feminine and sophisticated. If you find minimalistic and meaningful ring designs appealing, consider getting something like the Carnelian ring. Feel free to express what your heart desires through your jewellery selections.

Stack your bracelets

Unfortunately, women often buy new earrings or necklaces, but not bracelets which is a shame since those can really elevate your outfit. They come in various styles, from thick, thin, and beaded, to silver, gold, and bronze. A lot of Instagram stars and fashionistas are stacking them, so why not do the same? Any way you want to wear a bracelet, you won’t make a mistake. If you avoid wearing them because you have a watch on your wrist, put the bracelets on the other hand, get bracelets that will coordinate with your watch, or get rid of your timepiece entirely. You have a clock on your phone, so you will still be able to tell the time.

Use an airtight container as a jewellery box

As you might know, oxygen is silver’s worst enemy since it makes it tarnish. Therefore, instead of displaying your jewellery on your makeup table, put it in an airtight container or even a small ziplock bag. This way your favourite pieces won’t become discoloured and lose their shine.

However, if you love traditional silver jewellery boxes and want to find an exquisite piece, take a look at AC Silver. They have a range of beautiful antique jewellery boxes to choose from.

We hope that these tips will help you shine, no matter what you are doing.
