Many women love wearing jewelry to enhance their beauty and keep up with fashion trends. However, with the wide selection of accessories available from jewelers and designers, it's not always easy to determine which necklace is perfect or which earrings are ideal for brightening up your look. To choose your jewelry wisely , it's important to consider several criteria, particularly regarding your body type and skin tone. Looking for a gift idea to give a beautiful piece of jewelry? Want to treat yourself to a trendy new accessory to match your style? We invite you to discover how to choose your jewelry.

Choose your jewelry according to your body type

Logically, every woman chooses her earrings, pendant necklaces, bracelets, or rings based on her tastes and outfits. However, when it comes to style, it's advisable to follow certain guidelines to select jewelry that complements your appearance and body type. This is essential if you want to be fashionable without making a fashion faux pas! Consider your face shape , neck size, and overall silhouette. Follow this guide!

The shape of your face

The shape of your head is important when choosing your new earrings .

If you have a square face, it's best to avoid wearing angular or overly complex jewelry. The idea is to favor rounded shapes to soften your features. For example, you could opt for hoop earrings or large dangling earrings with tassels. Long earrings are acceptable, provided they aren't too small, as this would create a shortening effect.

If your face is rectangular, the rules are the same as for square faces. However, with a longer face, it's best to avoid wearing earrings that are too long, as this will only accentuate the length.

If your face is round or diamond-shaped, the ideal choice is small, discreet earrings such as studs or silver studs. You can also opt for geometric designs that create a harmonious balance with the soft curves of your face. Hoop earrings and large round earrings should be avoided.

If you have an oval face, you're lucky: there's no need to choose your accessories based on your features, because everything suits you! You can even wear large, statement earrings or accessories with a wide base.

If your face is heart-shaped or triangular with the widest part at the forehead, the goal is to restore balance with an inverted shape. This could be a teardrop or triangular shape with the base pointing downwards. If your face is triangular with the base at the chin, the opposite is true. In this case, opt for pieces that are wider at the earlobe and narrower at the ends to counterbalance the width of your jawline.

The length of your neck should also be considered when choosing the size of your jewelry. Generally speaking, medium-sized earrings can suit all neck shapes. For shorter necks, it's advisable to choose smaller styles. Women with long necks can wear longer earrings.

Your silhouette

When choosing a necklace, you can consider your body shape. By opting for a suitable shape and length, you'll have everything you need to achieve a perfect and irresistible look!

Is your silhouette shaped like an 8, a triangle, or an H? Short necklaces and lightweight chokers will add a lot of style to your face.

For square or broad-shouldered figures, you can opt for a long necklace with a pendant or a sautoir.

For round or oval faces, it's advisable to wear medium-length necklaces with discreet, geometric pendants. For angular faces, opt for a shorter necklace. Large pendants should be chosen and tried on carefully, as they can overwhelm your silhouette. In all cases, we recommend choosing medium-sized pendants.

Choose your jewelry according to your skin tone

Many women know that it's important to choose the color of their clothes and evening wear according to their skin tone. This also applies to the choice of jewelry, which is essential for adding color to your look.

If you have fair or light skin, it's advisable to wear silver-toned jewelry , such as silver bracelets, pearl hoop earrings, or white gold rings. You can also brighten up your pale complexion by pairing your jewelry with colorful accessories like statement leather earrings .

Is your skin slightly tanned or olive? You can wear silver jewelry or accessories in warmer colors and materials: fine gold-plated earrings , a necklace adorned with gemstones …

If you have dark skin, you can confidently wear gold or copper jewelry . Bright colors are also recommended for women with dark complexions, as they enhance their natural beauty!
