Silver and Gold Jewellery
The first question you need to ask yourself is whether you want to go for silver jewellery or gold jewellery. You may already have a preference, or you might still be figuring it out - and that’s okay! The great thing about purple is that it is really versatile, and looks great when paired with both silver and yellow gold. They are both neutral colours that compliment purple well so you can rest assured that whichever jewellery you wear at home will be suitable for your purple look.
Amethyst or Citrine
Now, our favourite two gemstones to pair with a purple dress is amethyst or citrine - two very different colours - we know. Let’s start with amethyst. Amethyst is the birthstone for February and boasts a gorgeous purple tone that comes in various shades. Pairing purple with purple will give your look a high-fashion and monochromatic look that is absolutely to die for. Amethyst pairs best with a deep violet, so why not go for an amethyst pendant and diamond tennis bracelet with a deep satin formal dress.

Simplicity v. Maximinimalism
To decide how much or how little you should accessorise, you should ultimately rely on your own personal preferences. However, as a rule of thumb, if you are wearing a simple dress, then you can really choose whatever you would like! Go dainty with a silver chain and stacking ring to keep it elegant and minimalistic or have some fun and go wild with statement pieces. On the other hand, if your purple dress is complete with beads and extravagant details, you really won’t want to take it away from the dress. In this case, keep it simple and understated with stud earrings and silver rings.
No matter what your style is, you can effectively accessorise your dress to take your look to the next level. The most important thing to remember is that there are no limits to styling!
