The immaculate sense of style is not necessarily something that you should be born with. It is brought up consciously, developed by paying attention to the ocean of current fashion trends where you find something that suits your looks, personality and lifestyles.

Creating your own style is not a “bed of roses”. This road can be full of faux pauses and trials. But those who want to be a success in this venture are destined to success.

It‘s a piece of hard work, let’s face it, unless you have your personal make-up artist, clothes and hair-stylist at your hand 24/7. But the award of realizing that you look and feel great is worth of all the efforts.
Nobody is perfect. And we can’t control what Nature has given to us. But everybody can make the best over him/herself, learning to be beautiful and express the unique individuality that is within.

Since jewelry is fairly considered to be that very special thing that both gives that necessary finishing touches to our looks and boosts our good mood as well as self-esteem, let’s exercise in wearing jewelry. If you are not always sure what gems suit you best, or what to wear in a particular occasion, it’s never too late to learn…

Well, where the jewelry is concerned, the basic criteria are your Age, Height and Build.

Earrings

If your height is equal to that of the current fashion standard and besides you can boast of having a fine swan neck, don’t hesitate to wear long dangling earrings. They look especially good in a company of smooth hair.

If, in contrast ,you are petite and not too high, your friends are small earrings that will not look like weights on you. Chunky “button” earrings esp. with a gem are fabulous on a plump lady with lush hair-style.

Rings

Rings are the piece of jewelry so much preferred by many women both for its aesthetic value and symbolic meaning. Slim diamond rings are commonly worn on a ring-finger. Never put on 2 or more rings on the same finger. Rings with a gem of more than 10k are usually worn on a fore-finger. Besides, the best option for young ladies with slim arms and fingers is something adequate- a small exquisite 2k ring.

Bracelets

Bracelets are worn only on the right hand. If it consists of some segments without a gem in the centre, wear it loose on your arm. And, conversely, if a bracelet is adorned with gems centering it, don’t let it dangle on your arm.

Brooches

Brooches are very much in fashion today. Well, to put it right, brooches are everywhere this year. Again, young girls choose small-sized ones. Single “flowers” or something like that are worn on the left side, 10-15cm below the shoulder or at the collar. Massive brooches can serve as the collar links. Best of all, diamonds match one-colored dresses, preferably – a black one. But in case there are some plain buttons on your dress, the brooch should be 5-7cm. higher. You can fold a light scarf and pin it up with the brooch. You want something extravagant – wear the brooch on the waist line, provided the design of your dress doesn’t object to it.

Never wear diamond brooches on the coat collar, on denim or leather jackets. Neither it can be a good company for casual, knitted or sports clothes.

Necklaces and pendants

As far as necklaces and pendants are concerned, the major dilemma is whether to wear them with high-necked or low-cut dresses. The liberty of your own decision is well within the limits of good taste. Experiment – and decide what works best for you.

And, finally, let’s work out how we can combine different pieces of jewelry.If you have a jewelry set, consisting of a bracelet, ring, necklace and earrings, follow the next principle ‘earrings+ bracelet”, “necklace+ ring”. Avoid wearing more than 2 rings at a time. It looks too excessive. As far as diamonds go, this gem is predominantly for evening wear.

The choice of accessories is a very personal affair, it’s very important that you feel comfortable and in harmony with what you wear. But jewelry is a very special thing that require thorough consideration and good taste. Here are our expert advise on how to make the most of the jewelry:

Woman jewelry rules:

1. Remember “one-statement-at-a-time” rule. It means that you should balance your jewelry items. For example, a dramatic necklace requires modest earrings and vice versa. Similarly, if you don’t want to look like a Christmas tree, avoid wearing more than one massive and bold ring at a time. The combination of 2 or 3 discreet rings is ok within the good-taste limits. The same is for the bracelets. But then do not wear a necklace.

Jewelry sets are traditional gifts. They usually include matching necklace, ear-rings, a bracelet and a ring. Do not wear them all at once.

A necklace is good together with a ring, and ear-rings are a fabulous match for a bracelet. You can compliment them with a wedding ring.

2. Face shape and hair style have an influence on what to wear.

For instance, massive ear-rings look out of place if you have a small face with fine features or short-cut hair. Hair worn piled up is a fabulous opportunity to wear long drop or dangly earrings.

3. Consider your age when choosing the stones and metals that can work best for you.

The good options for a young girl are some strings of pearls, corals, turquoise a-la russe (i.e. set in silver or gold).

More mature ladies are free to wear all possible precious stones.

As to the metals, it’s up to you what to choose taking your taste, hair and eye-color into account. But on the whole, silver jewelry is considered to be an every-day thing, not appropriate for formal and special occasions.

You can combine silver and gold jewelry. But think thoroughly over the combination. For example, silver and gold chains can liven a dark dress up. Never combine a silver necklace with a gold bracelet.

According to ancient traditions, a wedding ring, as a symbol of conjugal faithfulness, should be simple, without any fancy features. Nowadays this principle is not so stringent. More and more married couples want their wedding rings to be decorated with diamonds or other gemstones.
