How to select jewelry that will look wonderful

Avoid making expensive mistakes

Choosing jewelry can be a treat and thrilling. But, it can be a little scary too, especially if you're selecting expensive pieces! This guide is to help you select the perfect piece, whether it is for you or a present for someone else.

Silver or Gold?
Generally speaking, if you have a skin color that suits warm colors then you should be wearing gold or gold colored items. People with pink complexions or who are very pale would be better suited to silver or silver colored (including titanium or white gold). Very dark people can look equally stunning in silver or gold.

Your physique
If you are a larger person, large jewelry will suit you best. Small, dainty jewels are likely to look lost.

On the other hand, if you are a petite person, wearing lots of large, bold jewelry could make you look a little like Mr T!

Think about your way of living
When selecting your jewelry you need to think about your lifestyle and what the item is for:

If you intend to wear your jewelry most of the time and you're an active, sporty person....large dangly earrings are just going to annoy you. If you're picking something to wear for a special occasion, a large claw-set ring would be fine.

Rings
Rings look fantastic on well maintaned hands. If you bite your nails, maybe you could utilize buying a gorgeous ring as an excuse to stop the habit!But i like Tiffany Ring.

Some people like to wear just a single ring whereas others like to wear a couple per hand. The choice is up to you, but try not to wear too many...usually less is more.

Bracelets & Bangles
Bracelets and bangles can look wonderful, but again less is usually more unless you have very thin arms. If your arms are somewhat large you may be best to avoid bracelets as they can be uncomfortable if they're too tight. Most bracelets are a standard size of 7" although it is possible to find 8" length bracelets too.

Necklaces
If you have a long neck you'll find that shorter necklaces look sensational. Try chokers (16") or Princess (18"-20"). If you have a shorter neck, go for longer length necklaces, maybe try either opera length (30"-36") or a lariat (a long-strand, open-ended necklace usually looped in a knot or used with a slide so the two ends hang free).Tiffany Necklace is may be your choise.

Earrings
When selecting earrings you should to think about your face shape. People with round faces should go for angular shaped earrings, dangly earrings also look great.
People with square and diamond shaped faces look fantastic in round studs and also drops.
People with oblong shaped faces should avoid drops as it can make their faces look over-long.
People with triangle shaped faces can wear all tiffany jewelry styles (lucky you!).
