Jewelry to compliment black and cream tunic

kerlyn

Hi ladies! Just wondering if you might have some ideas for me. I have a new black tunic with cream embroidery and am wondering what jewelry might look best with it. I'll probably wear it with either blue jeans or black leggings and sandals.

I do have a black and white patterned top that I tend to wear with big silver earrings, rings, and bracelets. I also think a bright color like turquoise would look nice with that top. But I think the cream in this new tunic is throwing me off. Is gold a better option? What about wood accessories? Come to think of it, I do have some wood circle earrings and a few wood bead bracelets. I just don't want to end up looking like Mrs. Roper! Not that there's anything wrong with that! Any thoughts?

Hi Kerlyn,

Can you perhaps post a photo or a link to the tunic? That will make it easier for us to make specific suggestions.

Are you looking for a dressy or a casual look? What is the tunic neckline like? You might consider a cream stone or glass pendant on a leather cord that might not compete with the embroidery.

Like Joy said, a lot will depend on what sort of look you're going for.

If it's casual and a a little bohemian (which is what it sounds like to me based on what you're wearing it with and your other jewelry you mention) perhaps multi-coloured bead jewelry - maybe bracelet and earrings, or bracelet and necklace with simpler earrings. I think most colours would work. You'd just have to make sure they don't clash with the cream.

Where on the tunic is the embroidery?

It's pretty casual, but could be dressed up a bit. Joy, I like the idea of the cream stone or glass pendant. That reminds me that I do have a pair of drop earrings with that irridescent pearl-like stone(can't remember the name of it).

The embroidery is around the neckline(which is square and quite flattering, I think!). So I think either a very long pendant necklace could work and not compete with the embroidery, or else just earrings. And Robin, I like your idea of the beaded bracelets and might have to look through my stash of beads and old jewelry and see what I can come up with. It might be fun to make a bracelet with some colored beads and tigers eye beads, which would tie in my tan sandals to the whole look.

Inge, I'm afraid I'm pretty novice with computers, but when I figure it out I'll link up a photo. Is it OK to repost this?
