Components of a Perfect Prom Look

The Jewels

• Pick out one piece of stunning jewelry and stop there. If you have a show stopping necklace, stick with small stud earrings. If you're wearing glittery chandeliers, leave your neck bare.

• Let your personality shine with accessories. Toss on a few too many bangles, grab your favorite jangling charm bracelet, or layer on a few complementary necklaces. The only rule: match your metals!

• The standard rhinestone prom jewelry is pretty, but don't limit your options! Knotted flapper pearls, chunky beaded bracelets, and enormous cocktail rings all add an expected spin to formal threads.
