A jewel that is perfect for a party can be a problem at work. Think about use before style.

## By occasion

- **Everyday:** comfortable, sturdy pieces that do not bother you. See [stones for everyday wear](https://www.711grados.com/en/gemstones-for-everyday-wear/).
- **Office:** discreet and sober; small earrings, a fine chain, a watch.
- **Wedding or formal event:** pearls, stones and pieces with some presence; avoid overloading. See [bridal and wedding jewelry](https://www.711grados.com/en/bridal-and-wedding-jewelry/).
- **Sport:** better with no jewelry, or with pieces that will not catch, such as small studs. See [jewelry in the shower, pool and sea](https://www.711grados.com/en/wearing-jewelry-in-shower-pool-and-sea/).
- **Beach and pool:** silver and pieces that do not fear water; chlorine and salt damage some.
- **Travel:** small, low-value pieces you will not worry about losing. Keep them in a case. See [how to store jewelry](https://www.711grados.com/en/how-to-store-jewelry/).

## By profession

- **Working with your hands or tools:** rings can catch and cause injuries; better to remove them or wear a silicone band. See [workshop safety](https://www.711grados.com/en/workshop-safety/).
- **Around machinery:** avoid rings, bracelets and hanging chains, which can get caught.
- **Kitchen and food:** hygiene rules often limit stone rings and bracelets.
- **Healthcare:** jewelry on hands and forearms is often limited for hygiene; check your workplace's rules.
- **Customer-facing:** discreet, well-kept jewelry conveys confidence.

## And if you do not know what to wear

Go for versatile, good-quality pieces. See [how to choose jewelry for your style](https://www.711grados.com/en/how-to-choose-jewelry-for-your-style/).
