Dear ladies, I am sure you have the opportunity to wear diamonds for high-social events. But at which finger shall you wear your ring? How do you place a diamond bracelet? A diamond brooch? To avoid faux-pas, we will listen again to master Yves Lemay.
Diamond ring
How to wear it: If the lady is not married, she wears it on the ring finger on the right hand. If she is married, she may wear it on the left hand if this is her engagement or wedding ring.
Our advice: Don’t stack different rings on the same finger. To show refinement, try to match perfectly your band wedding ring with the same shape and similar elements of the engagement ring.
Diamond bracelets
How to wear it: Prefer to wear them on the right hand, as it is the hand we use the most. Therefore, fine jewelry bracelets hanging freely on the hand will give a very refined and sensual attitude.
Our advice: On the other hand, it is better to wear a bracelet slightly tighter: if it has some elements on top, it will avoid them to slide under the wrist.
Brooch
How to wear it: Prefer to wear them on the right hand, as it is the hand we use the most. Therefore, fine jewelry bracelets hanging freely on the hand will give a very refined and sensual attitude.
Our advice: Large brooches can be worn in a more original way, for example, mounted on a scarf, and even put a massive brooch at the waist, if the jewel fits well with the dress. If you want to wear a diamond brooch, the cloth would ideally be monochrome, and better in strict or classic style for the brooch to standout most effectively.

Necklaces and pendants
How to wear it: Diamond necklaces and pendants look particularly striking with an open shoulder dress. On the other hand, if you have a closed shoulder dress, one sober or dark color, a diamond necklace can increase your elegance and refine your look.
Our advice: I recommend you to note that diamond jewelry, including diamond watches, look better during nighttime. They are perfect accessories to choose for a formal and elegant evening.
To be avoided
Combining diamond jewelry with fashion jewelry. No matters how beautiful and high quality these can be, they will inevitably tarnish the impression left by the real diamond jewels.
Wearing a brooch with a necklace: wearing a brooch with a necklace is viewed as bad and inappropriate manners as it is an overstatement.
True beauty is simplicity as Cartier shows it.
Ladies, I simply have to wish you the best luck for your next high-end social event!
