As we enjoy the summer, we can all start getting excited for holidays, weddings and, of course, the latest trends for 2024. One particular trend we’re loving is engagement nails, which has been a huge hit on TikTok. Use the hashtag #engagementnails and your feed will be full of different nail designs and colours, all ready for a romantic engagement. However, your nails don’t have to be preened just for your engagement, we’re also seeing a trend in people matching their nails with their jewellery. This trend is perfect for those who want to stand out from the crowd and make a statement. What perfect way to accentuate your new piece of jewellery than with a set or gorgeous nails!
In this series, we will be revealing how to match your nails to your jewellery like a pro, including nails shape, colour and colour theory!
Now, this may sound a little odd, but stick with us. One of the first questions you will be asked when you walk into the nail salon is what shape you’re going for? From oval, square and almond to squoval (a mix of square and oval, obvs!) there’s so much choice!
If you’re wanting to opt for an oval nail shape, we would recommend pairing this with either a brilliant or oval cut piece of jewellery. The rounded edges of your nails will compliment your piece of jewellery, creating an elegant, put together look. Take our Platinum Oval Cut Diamond Ring as an example, the rounded edges paired with your nails will elongate your fingers, giving a stylish finish.
Square nails are another popular choice. For this shape, we recommend an emerald-cut piece of jewellery. Square nails signify drive and ambition—they’re practical and mean business. Similarly, emerald-cut diamonds represent clarity and strength, making them a perfect match. For a bold look that exudes power, check out our Emerald Cut Diamond Hoops.
Almond shaped nails are modern, stylish and daring – perfect for those who want to make a bold statement. Not only is this shape incredibly stylish, but almond nails are also flattering as they can make your fingers appear longer and slenderer. As well as this, this particular shape benefits from increased sturdiness – making them less prone to breakage. For a nail shape so daring, it is only right to pair them with a stylish, bold diamond cut. The pear cut diamond is a perfect companion, with its tear drop shape – mimicking the shape of your nails.
For an added splash of colour, look at our Pear-Shaped Sapphire and Diamond Pendant. The beautiful blue hue of the sapphire would look amazing alongside almond shaped nails with a Fresh Manicure or painted in orange. But we’ll save colour matching for next time.
Matching your nails to your jewellery is a fabulous way to express your style and make a statement. Whether you prefer the elegance of oval nails with an oval cut diamond, the boldness of square nails with emerald-cut jewellery, or the daring style of almond nails with a pear-shaped gem, there’s a perfect pairing for everyone.
