Many women find it difficult to choose jewelry because they are unsure how to combine pieces or which shapes will best complement their features. In this article, I will share a few secrets that will help you build a harmonious jewelry collection for any occasion.
Find the Colors That Make You Glow
Understanding your color type is key to selecting accessories that enhance your skin tone, hair, and eyes. For example, yellow gold jewelry with spessartine garnets, topazes, or citrines enhances warmth in the complexion. Meanwhile, white gold and platinum jewelry with cool-toned sapphires, amethysts, or aquamarines adds freshness and elegance.
Well-chosen jewelry complements natural beauty and makes facial features more expressive. Emerald earrings, like EMERALD TULIP, enhance the depth and mystery of green eyes, while contrasting amethysts, like DIVITA, make the iris appear brighter.
Choose Jewelry That Complements Your Features
The size and shape of earrings, necklaces, and other accessories can be selected to harmonize with facial contours. For example, women with square or elongated faces should opt for rounded jewelry, which softens and visually balances their features. On the other hand, if you want to elongate a round face, choose drop earrings or teardrop pendants.
Bold, eye-catching rings and necklaces become the centerpiece of a look, while small stud earrings create a delicate, understated impression. Use these guidelines, but remember—the most important thing is that your jewelry expresses your individuality and makes you feel beautiful.
Play with Textures and Scale
Mixing large and small jewelry pieces adds dynamism to your style. For example, pairing a fine gold chain with a bold pendant creates an interesting accent that draws attention to the neckline.
Experimenting with textures adds depth to your look. Matte and polished surfaces, smooth and rough materials, all complement each other beautifully. Personally, I love playing with textures—this passion inspired the creation of LOS ANGELES rings and earrings. They combine smooth gold, velvety titanium, and sparkling gemstones, resulting in a unique and multifaceted composition.
Don’t be afraid to combine elements that seem mismatched at first glance—unexpected combinations often turn out to be the most striking. Classic diamonds paired with colorful gemstones or ethnic-inspired jewelry incorporated into a business outfit can create a truly original look. The key is to maintain balance and avoid overwhelming the outfit with too many accents.
Match Jewelry to Your Outfit for a Complete Look
When choosing accessories, it’s important to consider the style, color, and texture of your clothing. Jewelry and clothing should either complement each other or create a deliberate contrast—never clash for attention.
Classic and Business Looks
For formal and business attire, I recommend choosing understated and elegant jewelry. Morganite studs, delicate transformer-earrings, and thin rings are perfect for a tailored suit or a sheath dress. If your outfit is in neutral tones, you can add a pop of color with vibrant gemstones to bring life and personality to the look.
Evening and Festive Looks
Special occasions are the perfect opportunity to wear bold and extravagant jewelry. Large spiral earrings, long gemstone strands, and statement cocktail rings make excellent complements to an evening gown. Jewelry can be chosen to match the color of your dress or in a contrasting shade if you want to make a statement.
Casual Everyday Looks
This is where you have the most freedom to experiment. Feel like wearing earrings with deep blue tanzanites? Go for it! Prefer a ring with golden-green peridots? Perfect! You can play with unusual and original accessories, but it’s important to ensure they don’t overload your look and that they complement each other harmoniously.
Make It Personal
The most important rule? Wear what feels like you.
Jewelry is deeply personal. Maybe you love antique-inspired rings that remind you of your grandmother’s collection. Or perhaps modern, sleek designs make you feel confident and empowered. Some people gravitate toward gemstones for their meanings—like amethyst for inner strength or red garnet for love.
The pieces you choose reveal your values and tastes to the world, so trust your intuition and wear only what truly resonates with you.
