Why Accessories & Jewelry Matter

Accessories and jewelry are powerful finishing touches that turn a collection of garments into a cohesive wardrobe. At Stephens of Mendenhall, our accessories department balances fashion and longevity—offering pieces that change the mood of an outfit without demanding a full wardrobe overhaul. A scarf, a Brighton necklace, or a pair of statement earrings can make an old dress feel new, refine a work look, or complete an evening ensemble.

Styling Advice for Accessories

  • Layering necklaces: Start with a short delicate chain, add a medium-length pendant, and finish with a longer statement piece for balance.
  • Earrings and hair: Consider hairstyles when choosing earrings; updos show off longer drop earrings, while loose hair pairs well with studs or hoops.
  • Scarves as focal points: Use a scarf to introduce pattern and color, tying it around the neck, bag handle, or belt loop for variety.
  • Balancing scale: Pair bold jewelry with simpler clothing to avoid visual overload; converse for a cleaner silhouette.

Gift Guidance and Special Occasions

Accessories and jewelry are ideal gifts because they can be personalized. We help customers choose pieces that reflect the recipient’s daily wear and lifestyle. Brighton jewelry is a particularly strong option for memorable, quality gifts. We provide complimentary gift-wrapping to ensure purchases are presentation-ready.

How to Mix Metals and Textures

  • Start with one dominant metal and introduce small quantities of another for interest—e.g., a silver watch with a gold pendant on a layered necklace can look deliberate.
  • Pair textures thoughtfully: smooth leather bag with textured knit or a matte finish jewelry piece with glossy accents.
