OUR GUIDE TO WHAT JEWELRY TO WEAR WITH YOUR SPRING COLOR DRESS

Spring is in the air. Blossoms are blooming, new greens are shooting, and the air buzzes with anticipation of a new season. Spring is a time of new beginnings, it’s a time to shed those coats and boots and step into that spring dress you’ve been waiting to wear, paired with a piece of gorgeous diamond jewelry.  

VIEW JEWELLERY

This spring we’re met with a refreshing color palette. On the one hand, we will see dresses in bright colors that exude confidence, and optimism, joy and playfulness. These spirited colors are a reminder to look on the bright side, to expect the unexpected, and to celebrate our creativity. On the other end of the spectrum, we will see dresses in down to earth neutral, natural tones that reflect our growing need for authenticity, and a desire to express our true selves in an era of filters and screens, as well as a movement towards a broader consciousness in the products we choose and the fashion we wear. 

This kaleidoscope of beautiful colors can all be paired with equally alluring designer diamond jewelry. The perfect accessory adds to your look but doesn’t overpower it. As a rule of thumb, match your jewelry to the tone of the dress not to the color. Consider whether your dress is a warm tone or cool tone. Additionally, consider whether your dress is a bright color or a neutral color. A brightly colored dress works well with a neutral piece of diamond jewelry for women. However, a dress in a neutral palette pairs well with almost any color. Read our guide to help you choose what jewelry to wear with your spring dress in the colors of the season. 

1. WHAT JEWELRY TO WEAR WITH YOUR BLUE DRESS

Blues are forecast to be a key color in the spring season. We will see bright blue hues replacing the current softer tones. Think of blues inspired by the ocean such as cerulean blue and aqua. 

Blue is a cool tone so consider pairing your blue spring dress with jewelry in similarly cool tones. A platinum, palladium or white gold piece of jewelry would work perfectly as the cool tone of the metal provides the perfect contrast to the blue of any tone. Adding a stone in a cool tone such as green and purple hues can add an extra pop to your spring look. Shimansky’s round brilliant solitaire pendant or a pair of platinum diamond earrings would enhance the overall look and feel of your spring attire.

Another general guide is to consider the brightness of the color of your spring dress, and then to work with opposites. Do not match the color of your accessories to the color of a bright dress. Therefore, the electric blues and majestic royal blues we will be seeing this spring can be perfectly complimented by a neutral piece of diamond jewelry. 

2. WHAT JEWELRY TO WEAR WITH YOUR YELLOW SPRING DRESS

Yellow is a color that shines in spring and summer as it conjures up thoughts of sunshine and warm days. This season, yellow is taking on the delicious tones of Mango Mojito and the deeper tone of turmeric. Even fluorescent yellow will be making an appearance. So as not to be overwhelmed by yellow hues, consider pairing your yellow spring dress with jewelry in contrasting colors to your dress. Tanzanite and sapphire stones will shine brilliantly next to the warm yellow. 

3. WHAT JEWELRY TO WEAR WITH YOUR WHITE SPRING DRESS

White is a classic color that will feature every season. There are two different options when it comes to pairing jewelry with a white spring dress - the sophisticated, elegant option, and the bold, fun option. White diamonds with a white dress create a luxurious, crisp look. Pair any piece of gorgeous diamond jewelry such as a simple diamond bracelet, a diamond pendant white diamond earrings or a white gold ring to achieve this look.

Alternatively, a white dress serves as a blank canvas for a bold, fun, statement piece of designer diamond jewelry. Be adventurous with different colored diamonds, metal styles, and ring designs. Shimansky’s blue sapphire panther ring would steal the show when wearing a simple white dress.

Beyond clean white dresses, expect off-white tones of white such as butterbeans, sandy tones, creams, and champagne-colored spring dresses. These natural colors are a nod towards eco-minded consumerism and slow fashion. Treat these whites as neutrals, and pair dresses in these colors with understated, classic pieces of original diamond jewelry that will stand the test of time. We love the pairing of a champagne color spring dress with a piece of rose gold diamond jewelry.

4. WHAT JEWELRY TO WEAR WITH YOUR PAIGE SPRING DRESS

Moving into the realm of classic wardrobe staples, beige, natural tans and earthy tones will be seen this spring. Think colors inspired by the ocean, such as sandy browns, sun-bleached driftwood, and dried seaweed. Richer shades such as chocolate brown, mahogany, and burnt toffee will also make an appearance. An earth-tone spring dress adds depth and authenticity to your wardrobe, and, treated as a neutral, can be worn with either gold or platinum diamond jewelry. 

5. WHAT JEWELRY TO WEAR WITH YOUR GREEN SPRING DRESS

Green is synonymous with spring and drawing from the natural world this season presents an array of greens that echo the budding flora. Picture yourself in a feminine neo-mint spring dress, or a more neutral sage or moss green. How about a bright green pepper hue for something a bit more zesty? Bucking the rule of matching the tone of your dress with that of your jewelry, your green spring dress and gold and diamond jewelry are a match made in heaven. A yellow diamond, such as the fancy yellow double-row ring by Shimansky, will also enhance the green of your dress to out-of-this-world status.

6. WHAT JEWELRY TO WEAR WITH YOUR PINK SPRING DRESS

It’s time to embrace your femininity and rethink pink. Pink is no longer a cutesy cliche - it can be feminine and strong, traditional and empowering. With a variety of hues of pink seen on the runways this season, your pink dress will be right on trend this spring. In its more beige tones, pink can act as a neutral and be paired with a gorgeous rose gold piece of jewelry. We love the rose gold ring from the Shimansky My Girl collection.

We will also be seeing dresses in bright, loud pink this spring, as well as slightly softer coral tones. These pink dresses can be paired with any color metal and would work perfectly with a yellow diamond ring. Dresses in softer, gentler pinks and pink florals are the perfect excuse for all things feminine. These colors will work beautifully with softer designs in flower shapes or hearts. Take a look at the rose gold starlight heart diamond earrings or the two hearts open pavé diamond ring both by Shimansky. 

7. WHAT JEWELRY TO WEAR WITH YOUR PURPLE SPRING DRESS

Purple has toned down this season from its ultraviolet hue in the spotlight to a gentler, softer lavender. This suits the colors of spring perfectly, and lavender will make for the perfect color spring dress. Paired with fine, feminine gold and diamond jewelry, you’ll be as pretty as a picture in your purple dress as you embrace the beauty the season has to offer. Stay away from bright-colored diamonds, choose white diamonds and delicate pave instead. Shimansky’s My Girl Diamond collection offers some beautiful options for a feminine touch. 

8. WHAT JEWERLY TO WEAR WITH YOUR BLACK SPRING DRESS

Nothing says classic like a little black dress. Black is neutral, so when it comes to jewelry it can be paired with just about any color, design, metal or diamond. With so much choice it’s hard to know where to start. Channel your inner Jackie Kennedy Onassis for an ultra-chic look and pair your LBD (little black dress) with gold and diamond jewelry. This Southern Cross Diamond Pendant by Shimansky would take your spring look to another level.

9. WHAT JEWELRY TO WEAR WITH YOUR ORANGE SPRING DRESS

Orange and red tones this spring can be found in the form of earthy natural colors such as terracotta and rust. Step out in a rust-colored dress and enhance the beauty of this deep, warm color with either platinum diamond jewelry, or gold and diamond jewelry. Keeping in the warm tones of orange and red, yellow is the perfect accompaniment to rich rust and terracotta. We love this fancy yellow diamond bracelet by Shimansky, with its prong set cushion and 18k yellow gold. Shimansky’s fancy yellow diamond ring or their fancy yellow pavé earrings would also work well when worn with your rust color dress. In fact, with a color this bold you can wear multiple pieces without overwhelming the look.  

10. WHAT JEWELRY TO WEAR WITH YOUR PRINTED SPRING DRESS

While florals will always be big in spring, animal prints (think leopard skin and snake skin), and African wax prints and katenges will be joining them as the prints of the season. When it comes to pairing your print dress with jewelry, the key is to match the color of your jewelry to a detail in the print, and not to the overall color of the print. For example, a platinum emerald cut ring may bring out a touch of greenery in a floral-print dress.

This season we are seeing a spectrum of colors which offers something for all tastes and styles. Whether you’re into brights and fun colors that announce spring with a bang or classic neutral tones such as your blacks, whites and earthy colors, your spring dress and accompanying jewelry will be right on trend. We invite you to your nearest Shimansky showroom to indulge in viewing our wide selection of beautiful platinum and gold diamond jewelry pieces. We will help you select the perfect piece of jewelry to match your perfect color spring dress.
