Since ancient times, people have been wearing jewellery, and they have been making it out of a variety of materials, from animal bones to stones, flowers, etc. With the development of humanity, people discovered sturdy metals such as gold, silver, and more. They made good use of them by starting to create jewellery from those metals. Up to this day, jewellery has been part of people’s lives, and you can find a variety of styles and designs for every kind of jewellery. Among those varieties of styles, it can be hard to choose what is perfect for you, so let’s see what you need to consider to choose the right jewellery that will highlight your beauty.
Match The Jewellery With The Occasion
When you choose your jewellery for the day, consider where you are going to visit and match your jewellery to the occasion. For example, if you are going to a formal event, avoid wearing jewellery that’s too striking and attracts people’s attention. When choosing the right jewelry, consider the size and strength of silver split rings to ensure they can securely hold your charms and pendants in place. Go for classic and dainty pieces. Choose rings and earrings that are not too big, and you can skip the necklace if you have already chosen to wear rings and earrings. For formal events, gold and silver are usually considered the best choices. They look classy with formal attire.
If you think about what jewels to wear in your everyday life, you can be more versatile. It all depends on your mood, that day’s outfit, and personality, of course. Stud and hoop earrings are common to wear in everyday life, and if you’re going to wear a necklace too, you can wear a chain. The jewelry industry is increasingly recognizing the importance of offering a wide range of pieces that complement all skin tones. Today, choosing any kind of jewel has become much easier because you can look through them in online jewellery stores and make your decision. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s comfortable for you and represents your personality.
Match It With Your Skin Tone
Before choosing a piece of jewellery for you that goes well with your skin tone, let’s understand how to determine your skin tone, in the first place. It’s not hard to do at all. You just need to look at your veins and see their color. If they have a green color, then you probably have a warm skin tone. And if they have a blue colour, it means you have a cool skin tone. You can also choose your skin tone according to your hair and eye color. Warmer skin tones are usually defined by hazel, brown or green eyes, and black, red, or brown hair, while cooler skin tones are defined by green or blue eyes and blonde, brown, or black hair.
It’s recommended that people who have a cool skin tone wear jewellery made of white gold, silver, or platinum, while yellow, copper, or brass jewellery will look good on people with a warm skin tone. And if you have a neutral skin tone, then both white and yellow metals will look good on you.
Choose Jewellery According to Your Face Shape
People have different face shapes and the earrings you liked on someone, might not look good on you because of the shape of your face. When choosing a piece of jewellery for you, go for the one that enhances your features. Let’s go through some examples and see what jewels to choose for every face shape.
If you have an oval face shape, you can be happy because almost any shape of earrings will look good on you. You can only avoid the long ones, as they will visually lengthen your face. If you have a square shaped face, go for earrings that add length to your face and narrow the width of it. You can choose oval hoops, long drops or chandelier earrings. The same goes for the necklaces. Choose a necklace that will soften your strong jawline and will make your face appear longer.
For a round-shaped face, choose a piece of jewellery that will again lengthen the face. For earrings, choose the ones that have a long and vertical style like dangles, drops, chandeliers, or ear threads. For necklaces, avoid chokers or collars because they make the neck look shorter. Instead, go for pieces that create a triangular shape and visually lengthen your neck.
Styling with jewelry according to your face shape is important.
If you have a rectangular shaped face, choose jewellery that will shorten your face’s long vertical line, and will make it look wider. For earrings, choose a bold and large style that will give a wide face illusion. For necklaces, choose chokers or anything that gives a round shape to your neck. It will help to balance the length of the face.
For a heart shaped face, wear jewellery that will create an impression of a narrower forehead and a wider jawline. Choose earrings that have a triangular shape, and necklaces that are short, like chokers or ones that have collar length.
And finally, if you have a diamond shaped face, choose jewellery that will not accentuate the jawline, and will make the forehead look wider. You can go for hoops or long earrings that have curves.
We’ve gone through the three most important points for choosing jewellery. Hopefully, they will be helpful for you to choose a jewel more easily next time you buy one.
