What can a single piece of jewelry do to your appearance? What else but make a complete transformation from something ordinary to what looks absolute gorgeous. While this is something that is hundred percent true, it is equally important to pick the right pieces that look just right no matter what clothes you wear or where you go.
Understand what suits you – What looks attractive on the shelves may not necessarily flatter your features. You must know what complements your beauty and brings out the best in you. It is important to feel comfortable with what you wear so if your preference is something subtle you will never carry off the large and ornate pieces well. So stick to what suits you and even if you do experiment, don’t go overboard.
Know your budget – Mostly jewelry shopping demands you to be well equipped with funds. So decide the bracket you’re comfortable spending and the maximum you can stretch. It is never a good idea to locate the piece that is perfect and then discover you can’t pay up. Plan well especially if you want to buy something exclusive and expensive like diamonds. There are many different options available these days and you can save yourself both time and trouble if you plan your spend.
Mixed bag of goodies – Stack up your collection well and have a fair share of everything. From casual to formal, simple to elaborate you must have all your jewelry essentials, you never know when the occasion demands something specific and you will be scampering to find the perfect piece at the last minute. From diamonds and colored gemstones to costume and pearls make space for them all. Metals too play a huge role so make sure you have different varieties in white gold, silver, yellow gold and platinum.
Wear what the occasion demands – Just wearing jewelry is not enough; you must sport what looks appropriate for a given occasion. So while your danglers make an impact for a special evening celebration, they are a complete no at work. The key is to know what looks best where.
Tried and tested – It always makes sense to try out the jewelry you like before you take it home. For all you know what looks great on the shelves may not flatter you at all. If you’re buying something to go with a particular dress then it is an absolute must to place both alongside to see if they complement each other.
Enjoy what you wear – While it is good to flow with the current trends it is wise to stick to the pieces that go well with your personality. The biggest fashion blunder one can make is to blindly follow what’s in vogue without caring to see if it flatters you. You must enjoy and feel good about what you wear.
For online shopping be very accurate with the measurements especially in case of rings. The length of the chain and bracelets is also something you must look into before placing an order.
Jewelry shopping is always fun so enjoy indulging in yet some more new baubles after you’ve finished reading these tips.
