How to choose your jewelry?

Many women enjoy wearing jewelry to enhance their beauty and follow fashion trends. With the wide selection of accessories available from jewelers and designers, it's not always easy to determine the perfect necklace or earrings to brighten up your look. To choose your jewelry wisely , it's important to consider several criteria, particularly regarding your body shape or skin tone. Are you looking for a gift idea to offer a pretty piece of jewelry? Would you like to treat yourself to a new trendy accessory that matches your clothing style? We invite you to discover how to choose your jewelry.

Choose your jewelry according to your body shape

Logically, every woman chooses her earrings, pendant necklaces, bracelets, or rings based on her tastes and outfits. When it comes to style, however, it's advisable to follow certain guidelines to choose jewelry that complements your appearance and body shape. This is essential if you want to be fashionable without making a fashion faux pas! The shape of your face should be taken into consideration, as well as the size of your neck and your body shape. Follow the guide!

The shape of your face

The morphology 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 can opt for hoop earrings or large dangling earrings with tassels. Long earrings are allowed, as long as they aren't too small in size: this would create a flattening effect.

If your face is rectangular, the rules are the same as for square faces. However, with a longer face, it is not recommended to wear earrings that are too long, as they would accentuate this length.

If your face is round or diamond-shaped, it's best to wear small, understated earrings like studs or silver earrings. You can also opt for geometric designs that create a harmonious balance with the soft curves of your face. Avoid large hoop earrings and round earrings.

If you have an oval face, you're in luck: there's no need to choose your accessories based on your features, because anything 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 triangle with the base facing downward. If your face is triangle-shaped with the base at the chin, it's the opposite. In this case, choose pieces that are wide at the lobe and thinner at the ends to counterbalance the width of your jaw.

Your neck length should also be taken into account when choosing the size of your jewelry. Generally speaking, medium-sized earrings can fit all types of neck shapes. For short necks, it's advisable to choose smaller models. Women with long necks can afford to wear longer models.

Your silhouette

When choosing a necklace, you can rely on your body shape. By choosing the right shape and length, you'll have everything you need to achieve a perfect, irresistible look!

Is your figure 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 rounded or oval faces, it's advisable to wear medium-length necklaces with discreet, geometric pendants. For angular faces, choose a shorter necklace. Large pendants should be chosen and tried on carefully, as they can weigh down your silhouette. In any case, we recommend opting for medium-sized pendants.

Choosing your jewelry according to your skin color

Many women know the importance of choosing the color of their clothing and evening wear to complement 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 pale skin, it's best to wear silver-tone 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, such asstatement leather earrings .

Is your skin slightly tanned or matte? You can wear silver jewelry or accessories in warmer colors and materials: fine gold earrings , necklaces adorned with fine stones , etc.

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