Styling ideas for the Retro Dongling Stone Hetian Jade Watch, what to wear it with, how to look after it and who it suits as a gift.
Why a watch like this works
A watch is part jewellery and part everyday tool. A decorative watch with a stone or crafted dial brings personality to the wrist and works as a statement piece as much as a way to tell the time.

- Design: a vintage-inspired design.
- Material: Metal, Others.

Styling any watch like this
A watch is the anchor of the wrist: wear it on the hand you do not write with, and let it lead. A slim bracelet next to it looks intentional; keep heavier bracelets on the other wrist so nothing scratches the case.
Choosing a watch that suits you
When choosing a watch, look at the case size, the strap or bracelet and how it fastens. A smaller case suits slim wrists and looks more like jewellery; a larger one is bolder.
What to wear it with
Pieces from the shop in the same tone that complete the look: - Geometric Dangle Wear Hoop Earrings: earrings, $17.85. - Belt Bracelet in 925 Sterling Silver: bracelet, $17.85. - Pearl Zircon Necklace & Earrings Set: set, $17.00.
Wearing it all year
Through the year: in winter wear it over a fitted cuff or push sleeves back; in summer a watch is the easiest finishing touch.
Caring for stones and braided bands
Natural stones and braided bands don't like water and chemicals. Take the bracelet off before washing your hands, showering and swimming, let it dry flat if it gets wet, and keep it away from perfume and lotion. The listing adds: Keep it away from water unless the listing says it is water resistant, wipe the case and strap with a soft dry cloth.
As a gift
A watch is a gift that is used every day and remembered every time someone checks the time. Check the delivery dates on the product page before you order if you are buying for a date, and add a short handwritten note: it turns a pretty piece into a message.
