Question:

I’ve got a formal cream-colored gown I’m planning to wear to a gala event. What kind of jewelry can I wear with it? I think pearls might clash since they’re white, but could I do pearl drop earrings since they’ll be farther from the dress? Does a gold necklace work? Any other suggestions?

Answer:

White and gold, cream and gold, ivory and gold, they’re all beautiful. No pearls. I would definitely go with gold, it’s very back in style.

Question:

I know you need a curved barbell, but the only kind I see is for eyebrows. Is this the same jewelry? Can I buy an eyebrow ring for a replacement vertical labret barbell?

Answer:
Its the same, yes. Unless your lip is uncommonly thick, many types of standard size eyebrow barbells will fit perfectly! Typically you should also stay with the same gauge you were pierced with, most commonly a 16 gauge. You may also have to search for different lengths.

Question:

What color jewelry like gold or silver would look best with a brown halter dress with copper colored sparkles. It’s for my 8th grade prom. I have matching brown shoes. But don’t know what kind or color jewelry to wear.

Answer:
Of the two choices, gold. But I’d prefer a rose gold to yellow gold, if you cant find one of those, you can use copper.

Question:

I have silver and gold jewelry. How can I clean them at home. I used that Connoisseurs jewelry cleaner,but it doesn’t work good. Any natural household cleaners or products that I can use?

Answer:
Tooth paste and tooth brush does a really good, safe job and its pretty much cheap….btw, try to use only white Toothpaste

Question:

Ok, I have a lot of jewelry: long and short necklaces, rings, bracelets, watches, belly button rings, and other body piercing jewelry too!
I have a jewelry box but it seems to be shrinking because it’s not big enough to store all my jewelry now. Do you have good jewelry storage ideas?….So, I end up keeping a lot of the jewelry laying all around the jewelry box, but not in it and it’s a big mess!
Any suggestions of what to do and how to keep in nice and organized?

Answer:
necklaces: For Necklaces, there are alot of inexpensive ways to store them…Check out this example “Jewelry Storage Ideas”
For Earrings, bracelets and other body jewelry:Those can be kept in boxes, or inexpensive trays and in a drawer.
