Which Styles of Jewelry are Most Complimentary to Me?
Using jewelry to best accent your own unique features involves more than just picking out pieces that appeal to you. Just as you choose clothing and cosmetics that accent or mask certain facial or body features, proper choice of jewelry can help you look your best.
Silver or Gold? Which Best Suits My Complexion?
In general if your skin has a warm tone, gold chains and fittings may be the best choice. Silver is often more flattering for cool complexions. Not sure if your skin tone is warm or cool? See this wikiHow article for assistance in assessing your skin tone and choosing complimentary jewelry.
Which Style Earrings Will Enhance My Facial Features?
If your face is oval, you can wear just about any type of beaded earrings, but round shapes are often recommended.
Conversely, if your face is round, you may look best with square, or better yet, rectangular or oblong earrings. Long and narrow styles offer the illusion of a more oval face.
Those with rectangular faces should choose short or round shapes.
Heart shaped faces beg for earrings wider at the bottom to create balance.
Are your features diamond shaped? Long dangling, curving styles will help you look great.
Think round to widen a narrow face.

What's My Neckline?
The shape of neckline is the most important clothing feature to consider when seeking jewelry pieces, especially necklaces. Jewelry. short, or long, which mirrors the shape of the neckline normally looks fine.
A general rule is to choose a necklace or string of beads which rests at least an inch or two above or below the neckline of your clothing. This keeps the jewelry from getting lost behind or blending in with the garment.
Low or plunging necklines can be paired with necklaces of various lengths, depending upon which of your personal features you'd like to accent.
Occasion, Occasion, Occasion
