How to Wear Your Jewellery

Don't follow fashion trends indiscriminately

Your feeling of comfort and harmony with what you wear is always more important than complying with the latest fad. Pick the trends that work for you.

Reflect your personality

Nobody is perfect but everybody can make the best of themselves, expressing the unique person that is within. So, let the jewellery you wear reflect your personality: Bold jewellery on bold women, dainty jewellery on dainty women. Gold Jewellery

Draw attention to your best features

Chokers (36-38 cm) attract the viewer's eye to the neck. Avoid these unless you have a slender neck. Longer necklaces and particularly lariats make the bust the focal point while the really long rope-style necklaces draw the attention down the entire torso.

Sparkling or dangling earrings will attract attention to the face and bracelets and rings to the arms and hands. Be particular when purchasing necklaces and earrings. Rather than choosing shapes that repeat the shape of your face, select shapes that contradict it (although not to extremes). If your face is round, try square-shaped earrings and pendants, and experiment with medium-length dangle earrings.

Angular faces are best flattered with round jewellery - hoop earrings and chokers. Massive ear-rings may look out-of-place if you have a small face with fine features or short-cut hair. Hair worn piled up is a great opportunity to wear long drop or dangle earrings. 22ct gold

A well-fitted dangling earring calls attention to your shoulders, which is the last feature to age on most women. But long dangling earrings on a woman with long hair can look disorganized and messy. Tiny earrings on a large woman can give her a "fat-neck"-look while chunky "button" earrings are fabulous on a plump lady with lush hair-style.

Dramatic cocktail rings look very good on big hands with long fingers, but even smaller women can wear these successfully if they limit themselves to one piece at a time. The combination of 2 or 3 discreet rings is OK for smaller women while large women should avoid small rings altogether.

If you are a tiny person, wearing large or many pieces of jewellery can make you look childish, but if you are a larger sized person, tiny jewellery will get lost on you which will make you look even larger. Wear jewellery that is in proportion to your body, it will help unify your look.
