Sparkly costume jewelry has the power to transform your look, boost your confidence, and make you shine in any setting. But for women over 40, choosing and styling these dazzling pieces can sometimes feel intimidating. Does it complement your outfit? Is it too much for the occasion? Let’s tackle these concerns head-on with our tips to help you dazzle with ease and sophistication.


Common Challenges When Styling Sparkly Jewelry


As we mature, our style preferences often evolve. When I was in my 20's, it was easy to grab a few accessories pieces, put them on, and go. As a woman over 40, I now gravitate toward more refined choices, seeking elegance and sophistication. It's important to choose pieces that not only enhance your outfit but also resonate with your personality. Here are some challenges we sometimes face:


  1. Fear of Overdoing It: Many women worry that sparkly jewelry will overpower their outfit or draw too much attention.

  2. Matching with Outfits: Choosing the right clothing and colors to pair with rhinestone and silver jewelry can be tricky.

  3. Occasion-Appropriateness: Wondering if your sparkly pieces are too bold for certain events.

  4. Balancing Elegance and Fun: Finding ways to look polished without seeming overly formal.


Solutions and Styling Tips


Let’s take these worries off your plate and explore how to style three stunning pieces from La Vie Unique LLC’s Glisten Collection featuring: Lavish, Opulence, and Splendor.
