Luckily today, we have a
wide range of styles to choose from. From cheap costume jewelry too
expensive diamonds and gold, necklaces, bracelets and earrings are made

Everyone
loves to wear jewelry, but did you know that the shape and style of
jewelry you choose can actually work towards enhancing your appearance?
Here's some tips on selecting jewelry that will complement your particular features and shape:
Necklaces
Much
like clothing, necklace styles can work towards changing the viewers
perception of your height. If you are very short and want to give the
perception that you are taller than you want to choose necklaces that
are longer. Necklaces that are V-shaped or Y-shaped lariat's can
elongate your appearance. you want to pick necklaces that go below your
boss but not pass your waist. These shapes and lengths will want your
torso and make you appear taller.
But what about those
of you who are tall and wanted our attention away from your height? If
this is you, then you want to choose necklaces that are short either 16
or 18 inches that rest on her collarbone. Choker necklaces can also
work to make you look shorter.
When choosing necklaces
you also want to think about the volume or chunkiness of the necklace.
a large boned or full figured gal will want a necklace that has a
little bit of volume - perhaps large chunky stones or a thick link. If
you are petite, however larger jewelry may not look right on you and
you may want to choose something more delicate.
Also,
take me volume of the piece into consideration. If you are big boned or
larger than chunkier necklaces might be more in proportion. However, a
petite person may not look so good in large size jewelry.
Earrings
Earrings
can work towards or against the shape of your face. Depending on the
shape of your face, you can use particular earring styles to emphasize
a deemphasize flaws in the shape. When we talk about face shapes we are
referring to the basic shapes of round, rectangle or, heart-shaped,
oval, or square
those with an oval shaped face are the
luckiest because they can wear pretty much any style and look good. If
your faces round, however, you don't want to emphasize the fullness so
you want to stay away from big button style earrings or hoops. Long
earings or square or rectangular shaped will help to elongate your face.
Heart-shaped
faces are thinner by the chin and so you want to wear earrings that can
widen out your chin such as triangular shapes or chandeliers are wider
at the bottom. if your faces long or rectangular shaped you don't want
to wear longer dangling earrings as this will tend to elongate your
face. Stick with smaller stubs to match your face shape.
Bracelets and Rings
A
lot of times when you talk or when you're just sitting around your
hands are up near your face so you want to choose your bracelets and
rings so that the compliment your face as well as your hands.
Also,
you want to consider your signs and whether you are large boned or
small boned when choosing bracelets. If you are petite then large
chunky bracelets might look awkward on you so delicate thin bracelets
might be the way to go. On the other hand if you're large boned or even
medium-sized you might look best with a wide bracelet or a stack of
bracelets.
When choosing rings, you want to think about
the shape of your finger's. Are they long and elegant or short and
stubby? Either way you want to make sure your ring does not go over the
knuckle as this Is not only uncomfortable but rarely looks good on any
hand.
If your fingers are sure it then you want to
choose smaller delicate rings as you do not want to emphasize the
shortness of your fingers. Rings with an oval setting tend to look
best. If you have long fingers then round settings and wide band's will
probably look best on you.
Always remember when
choosing jewelry, to choose what you love! Finding jewelry that
flatters your and that you feel good wearing is the perfect complement
to any outfit.
