How to choose your jewellery?

How to choose your jewellery?

In the great family of accessories, jewelry has a place of choice. Like the cherry on top of a pastry chef's cake, rings, bracelets, Necklaces and earrings are the finishing touch to a successful outfit. If choosing jewelry seems to be a formality of our daily life, the reality is not always so simple ... A jewel must be chosen with care, because everything does not fit everyone and everyone has its own personality and identity. If it is true that you must let your desires speak, several points deserve however a particular attention before passing to the purchase. From morphology to style, through skin tone, discover step by step our tips to help you choose jewelry that will fit you perfectly.

1. Choose your jewellery according to your morphology

The silhouette of your body is a benchmark that allows you to know what are the pieces that suit you best. If in fact, nothing prevents us from wearing the jewelry we like, you should know that some shapes will be more or less adapted to your face or your wrist. Because yes, for jewelry too, it is all a question of morphology. Here are some precious tips to help you make your choice.

Choose your earrings according to your face shape

  • For round faces: we recommend long shapes, such as dangling earrings that play on finesse. Exit the creoles and the large circular earrings.
  • For square faces: opt for lightness and finesse by favouring hanging shapes. Forget about highly detailed or imposing jewellery.
  • For triangular faces: play with lines and have fun with shapes and sizes. Just avoid triangle-shaped curls and you're done!
  • For diamond-shaped faces: go for length to create a nice harmony with your face. Avoid chips and studs as they will not fit and will go unnoticed.
  • For oval faces: this is the winning shape because it can do anything. You can try all shapes, sizes and lengths.

Choose bracelets that fit your wrist

  • For strong wrists: we advise you to choose voluminous bracelets, the aim being to create a harmonious look with your entire silhouette. Go for cuffs or play the accumulation card: you can afford to be crazy.
  • For fine wrists: more delicate wrists should play on finesse and favour light and refined models. Here too, accumulation is possible, but only with fine chains and discreet beads.

For the Necklaces, opt for a flattering length

  • For short necks: go for long and medium length necklaces, as they will help to lengthen your head carriage. Avoid at all costs heavy accessories (lavalieres or choker ) which could create an imbalance and a tense effect.
  • For long and slender necks: princely headbands allow you to wear all types of Necklaces, from choker to long necklaces. You have a crazy chance!
  • For small sizes: it is essential to play on lightness to avoid compressing the silhouette. So avoid long necklaces and opt instead for fine knits that stop at the bustline.
  • For the strongest of bodies: go for costume jewellery that can be seen from afar and dare to accumulate lengths.

For rings, it's all about harmony

  • For small hands: go for thin rings, taking care to wear them sparingly. However, you can afford to wear a strong, imposing piece if it is the only ring on your hand.
  • For short fingers: avoid accumulations and imposing jewellery. If you don't want to weigh your hands down, the key word should be "finesse".
  • For long, slender fingers: you can opt for thin, delicate rings. The length of your fingers allows you to play on the accumulation, do not deprive yourself of it! Dare to use phalanx rings and multiple rings, they will look great.
  • For large hands: don't be afraid to go for large rings: large stones and jewels with multiple details will be your best allies.

2. Choose the color of its jewels according to its complexion

If jewelry is the ideal gift to spoil a loved one or simply to please yourself, we have seen that the first step is to identify the right shape and size of jewelry. Is it done? Perfect! Now it's time to look at the color question. Gold or silver, which metal should you bet on? Be careful, some colors are more flattering than others depending on your skin tone. A little clarification is necessary.

If you have fair skin, then you can consider all colors of jewelry. From gold to silver, from the most colorful stones to the whitest diamonds: everything will depend on your tone. Some skin tones are predominantly pink and go perfectly with silver, rose gold and colors soft. Others are predominantly yellow and will pair more easily with yellow gold and colored stones.

If you have very white skin, don't hesitate to bring a little warmth and colors with jewelry (always sparingly). Avoid black, which can add gravity to your look. Instead, choose warm tones and stones like emerald, which goes perfectly with milky skin.

Finally, if you have darker or matte skin, yellow gold and stones with various colors will allow you to highlight your complexion in the most beautiful way.

3. Timeless jewellery that you must have

While the sailor suit and the trench coat are classics that can be found in almost every wardrobe, certain jewellery items also find their place in the list of timeless basics that you absolutely must have.

Among the essential pieces of the jewellery box, we obviously find :

  • Round, thin or thick creoles, which come and go with the trends.
  • Small chips, with or without a shiny finish, which can be adapted to all styles and situations.
  • The fine chain necklace with a pendant that you can wear every day without moderation.
  • The string of pearls, a timeless classic.
  • The birth ring (or any other type of ring) that delicately dresses your wrist.
  • The pretty family ring (a signet ring, an old wedding ring or a ring set with a stone), the perfect piece to finish your outfit.

4. Costume or precious jewellery: what should you focus on first?

Do you have to buy fine jewellery or can you rely on costume jewellery to create the perfect look?

It seems that there is no perfect, ready-made answer. The great names of fashion themselves have never been able to decide on the question. For example, Coco Chanel was particularly fond of costume jewellery, while Hubert de Givenchy preferred women with precious diamonds... In the end, the most important thing will be to find the right combination; the one that will perfectly match your look and your fashion desires.

Because it's good to remember: jewellery goes hand in hand with an outfit and should always be selected according to what you are wearing. For example, a preppy or preppy look will go perfectly with strings of pearls and other minimalist jewellery, while a more rock look will favour silver pieces. For the more daring, try combining gold and silver to create the perfect look. It's up to you to choose your side and find the right balance between costume jewellery and jewellery pieces.

5. The final gold tip for choosing your jewellery

Our final tip for choosing your jewellery: remember to trust yourself and listen to your desires. If you like a piece of jewellery, try it on! There is no absolute truth and magic can work for a piece of jewellery that was not necessarily intended for you. The final word? Never be afraid to use (and abuse) boldness, especially when it comes to style.
