You can also use it to spice up your everyday outfits and express your personality. But how do you choose the right pieces that match your style and mood? Here are some tips on how to use jewelry to compliment a casual look.</span></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">## 1. Play with colors</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">One of the easiest ways to create a harmonious look is to use the color wheel as your guide. You can find interesting combinations that will make your outfit pop. For example, you can use complementary colors, such as blue and orange, or analogous colors, such as green and yellow, to create contrast and balance. You can also use triadic colors, such as purple, orange and green, or tetradic colors, such as red, yellow, blue and green, to create a vibrant and dynamic look.</span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">You can also match the hue and saturation of your jewelry with your clothes. If you are wearing muted tones, go for jewelry that has the same level of brightness and intensity. If you are wearing bright colors, you can opt for jewelry that has more sparkle and shine.</span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">## 2. Coordinate with your neckline</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Another important factor to consider is the shape of your neckline. You want your necklace to complement your top or dress, not clash with it. A good rule of thumb is to have your necklace end a few inches above where your neckline starts. This way, you can avoid overcrowding or overlapping.</span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">You can also follow the shape of your neckline with your necklace. For example, if you are wearing a V-neck, you can choose a pendant or a Y-shaped necklace that mimics the V shape. If you are wearing a round neck, you can go for a choker or a collar necklace that hugs your neck. If you are wearing a boat neck or an off-shoulder top, you can opt for a long necklace that adds some length and movement.</span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">## 3. Mix and match</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Don't be afraid to experiment with different styles and trends of jewelry. You can mix and match different pieces to create a unique and fun look. For example, you can layer different lengths, shapes, colors and textures of necklaces, rings and bangles to add some depth and dimension to your outfit. You can also mix metals, such as gold and silver, or materials, such as leather and beads, to create some contrast and interest.</span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">You can also pair jewelry pieces that you don't usually wear with the ones you generally wear to invigorate the look and make use of rarely used jewelry. For example, you can wear a statement ring with your everyday studs, or a chunky bracelet with your delicate watch.</span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">## 4. Choose meaningful pieces</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Jewelry is not only a fashion accessory, but also a way to express yourself and tell a story. You can choose pieces that have some meaning or significance for you, such as your birthstone, your zodiac sign, your initials or a symbol that represents something important to you. You can also choose pieces that remind you of someone special, such as a gift from a loved one, a family heirloom or a souvenir from a trip.</span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Choosing meaningful pieces will not only make you feel good, but also add some personality and charm to your look. You can also use them as conversation starters and share your stories with others.</span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;">## 5. Stick to classic pieces</span></span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If you are not sure what to wear or how to accessorize, you can always rely on classic pieces that never go out of style. These are the pieces that are versatile, timeless and elegant. They can go with any outfit and any occasion.</span></p><p class="p2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br class="ContentPasted0" /></p><p class="p1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1 ContentPasted0" style="border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Some examples of classic pieces are pearl earrings, diamond studs, simple hoops, solitaire pendants, tennis bracelets, chain necklaces and cufflinks. These pieces are easy to wear and match with anything.

In Arizona, the Apaches had made several raids on one particular settlement. After these raids, the military and some volunteers banded together and followed the tracks of the stolen cattle back to where the Apaches lived. At dawn, they attacked. The Apaches were completely surprised and outnumbered in the attack. About two-thirds of the Apache warriors were killed by the first volley of shots. The rest of the Apache warriors retreated. As they were almost completely surrounded, the only place for them to go was to the edge of a cliff. Rather than die at the hands of a white man, these last warriors chose death by leaping over the cliff's edge. The apache women of those who had died gathered at the base of the cliff, and for a moon they wept for their dead. They mourned, not only because their warriors had all died, but also because the fighting spirit of the Apaches had died with them. Their sadness was so great that the Great Spirit encased the tears of the Apache women into black stones we now call apache tears.</div>

<b>Moissanite</b>. Without special testing equipment, distinguishing it from a natural diamond is very difficult. Moissanite, in its natural form, is very rare. It has only been discovered in a small variety of places from upper mantle rock to meteorites. Moissanite was introduced to the jewelry market in 1998. It is regarded as a diamond alternative with some optical properties exceeding those of diamond. Its lower price and less exploitative mining practices necessary to obtain it make it a popular alternative to diamonds.</div>

A Christian pastor has discovered one of the world's largest uncut diamonds in Sierra Leone's Kono district. The diamond, weighing 709 carats, is now locked up in Sierra Leone's central bank in Freetown. It is one of the 20 largest diamonds ever found. Freelance, or artisanal, miners are common in Sierra Leone's diamond-rich areas, reports the BBC's Umaru Fofana.</div>
