JEWELLERY - SELECTING THE RIGHT ONE FOR THE OCCASION

Jewellery can not only enhance your looks but also helps you make your fashion statement. With the myriad options available picking the right jewellery that can boost your style quotient can be quite tricky. A piece of jewellery that makes you feel beautiful and confident is sure to make an impression as you will be able to carry it off well at any occasion.

Being aware that you have to pick the jewellery that suits your face shape, skin tone and even your height can be crucial when you buy jewellery. Considering that ornaments made of precious metals like platinum and gold can be quite heavy on your wallet, you can go for gold plated or costume jewellery to dress up for any occasion.

The necklaces and ear rings that you choose can bring out the best in you by accentuating your best features while softening the effects of the imperfections in your face. Oval faces are considered the best and almost all kinds of ear rings suit them. Small studs suit rectangular faces while people with round faces can choose dangling ear rings to bring out their best looks. Triangular or chandelier style ear rings can complement people with heart shaped faces.

Decide where you want the jewellery focal point to be. If you want to draw attention to the exquisite necklace then keep the earrings simple so that they don’t draw the attention away from the neckline. Experts suggest that simple and understated pieces will work well during the day time but you can go for the heavier, eye catchy pieces for the evening.

The choice of the metals and the gems that you choose should also be made based on your skin tone. The first step would be to identify your own skin tone. If you see pinkish or rosy red hue when you look at yourself in the mirror then platinum, silver and white gold adorned with pearls or diamonds will go well with your skin tone. There are people who can see yellow or golden tinge when they study themselves in the mirror. If you fall under this category it is best to go with jewellery made of gold, pewter, brass and copper. Gem stones in earthy tones like yellow, brown, green and peach may be the best pick to suit your skin tone.

The neckline of the dress you are wearing should be considered while picking on ornament. Typically strapless or off shoulder dresses can be paired up with a choker to create an elegant look. Long chain with beads go well with turtle necks while a chain with a simple pendant can complete the outfit beautifully when you are wearing a v-neck, boat neck or crew neck.

Before buying any ornaments either try it on or hold it up next to you to ensure that it suits you. Some people tend to develop allergic reactions to some kinds of materials so make sure that the jewellery that you are buying suits you.

Be bold and make your own personalized fashion statement with the jewellery you wear at any occasion.
