Jewelry in the style of Marie Antoinette: how to wear and what to combine with?

Jewelery and bijouterie

One of the results of New York Fashion Week was a confident course towards Marie Antoinette's wardrobe. To support the trend, it is enough to wear corsets, ruffles and blouses with puffy sleeves. Also in high esteem are crinolines and ball gowns in pastel colors. We’ll talk in more detail about precious jewelry, which you can’t do without in this aesthetic!

Massive crosses

From the current ones - massive crosses, inlaid with precious or semi-precious stones, on a long chain. Recall the amethyst cross Princess Diana wore to the Garrard for Birthright charity ball in October 1987 and use it as a visual reference.

By the way, such jewelry is proposed to be worn not only in the traditional way, but also backwards, decorating the bare back with a massive pendant (if this is provided for by the style of the outfit). Looks very nice!

Chokers

We've talked a lot about this category of jewelry and remain confident that chokers are an extremely good investment. Among the most popular items, perhaps, we highlight products with a large stone pendant on a silk, satin or velvet ribbon. They are most characteristic of the aesthetics of the 18th century and the image in the spirit of Marie Antoinette.

If there is no such decoration, then you can make it yourself. You will need the same ribbon and your favorite brooch (for example, with a large stone, resin or cameos), attached either in the center or with a slight offset.

Lokets

Opening medallions, which used to store photographs, today can be embodied in almost any shape, from the traditional round to all kinds of birds, butterflies and hearts. They can be worn on a chain, leather cord or ribbon. Depending on the size chosen, lockets can be easily combined with other jewelry: they greatly refresh the look and add drama to it.
