Jewelry has been used for thousands of years to enhance the appearance.
From the earliest civilizations, stones wood and metal were worn to add to the way people looked.
Today’s jewelry comes in many styles shapes and colors and no matter what you are choosing a joy for you want to make sure that you buy cases that complement your features. Just like clothing, the style of jewelry you wear can enhance the way you look, so why not make sure to buy the most flattering style for you?
Necklaces
Believe it or not, the style necklace you choose can emphasize or deemphasize your height. If you are tall and don’t want to draw attention to that or petite and maybe one look taller pay attention to the necklaces that you wear. If you want to look taller, then you want to choose longer necklaces that are either Y shaped necklaces or have a V-shaped. Necklaces that are longer than your bustline but end before your waist will tend to elongate your torso. If you want to draw attention away from your height and choose a choker or U-shaped short necklace of 16 or 18 inches which will tend to make you look a little bit shorter.
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
When picking out hearings you want to consider this shape of your face. Certain styles of earrings will complement certain face shapes while other styles may detract. Face shapes can be square, heart-shaped, round, oval or rectangular.
if you have an oval shaped face your lucky because you can wear pretty much any style and look good. If you have a round face you want to stay way from large hoops or button style earrings and wear more square shapes which will help to deemphasize the roundness of your face.
Long rectangle faces should avoid wearing longer dangling earrings and stick with small studs. Square faces need to be softened out so round hoops are good for these types. Heart-shaped faces but best and chandelier or triangular shaped earrings with a larger bottom to balance out the narrower chin.
Bracelets and Rings
Do you talk with your hands? Then you want to consider this when choosing bracelets and rings as your hands are probably usually near your face. In choosing a bracelet line you want to take the same guidelines that you did for choosing a necklace into consideration.
If you are average sized in a wide bracelet might look quite good on you. If you are petite, however, a more delicate bracelet might suit. If you are full figured then layering several bracelets might be best for you.
Rings look best when the setting is not too large so that It goes over your knuckle. If you have short stubby fingers, then you probably want to choose smaller delicate rings. Rings with an oval setting look best on short fingers but those with long fingers can wear wide bands and round settings.
Selecting joy can be fun, and while it’s good to select a style that flatters you you don’t want to turn into drudgery. So you should always be picking jewelry that you love and that you love to wear. Make sure it’s comfortable and it feels good on and is sure to be the perfect style for you!
