How to Match a Necklace, Earrings and Ring: A Guide to Jewelry Sets

Jewelry that goes together looks intentional, even with a simple outfit. Everything does not have to be identical; one common thread is enough.

1. Repeat one shape

The easiest way to build a set: pick one shape and repeat it. A pear drop in the pendant and the earrings, a heart in the necklace and the bracelet, a square in the ring and the earrings. The eye picks up the repetition and ties it all together.

2. Keep the same metal

Silver with silver, gold with gold, rose with rose. You can mix metals, but it works better when the mix is deliberate, such as one ring in another tone, than when every piece is a different metal.

3. Let one piece lead

If the pendant is large and sparkly, keep the earrings small studs. If the earrings are long drops, a delicate chain is enough. One piece leads and the rest support it.

4. Match the stone style

A halo (a row of small stones around a center stone) goes with a halo, and a simple solitaire with a solitaire. Keep colored stones in the same shade across the set, for example blue in the necklace, the bracelet and the ring.

5. You do not have to wear the whole set at once

Earrings and a necklace for work, then add the ring and bracelet for the evening. A good set works in parts too.

MUSK matching sets

We matched pieces from our collection in advance by shape, stone style and metal color. On every product page that has a set you will find a "Complete the set" section with one button that adds every piece to your cart, and 10% off when the whole set is in the cart. A few examples:

• Pear Halo set: necklace, earrings and ring with a pear stone in a sparkling frame.
• Heart Halo set: necklace, earrings, bracelet and ring in a heart shape.
• Round Halo set: four pieces with a round center stone.
• Blue Pear set: necklace, bracelet and ring with a blue stone.
