Some of the best dressed celebrities know how to pull it all together with jewery. These include: Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, and many more!

Jewelry is an accessory that helps to enhance your outfit and style.  So do not let it overshadow you. What looks good on others might not necessarily look good on you. It is very important to wear the right amount and the right kind of jewelry that compliments your style. It is time to put all the pieces of the puzzle together and complete the nsemble to create a style that is unique to you. Keep these tips in mind before you accessorize your outfit with jewelry.

Know yourself and your personality!

Bold is not necessarily beautiful when it comes to introvert personalities. People with an extrovert personality can carry off big and bold pieces of jewelry effortlessly.

Your Body

Know your assets, like a long neck, slender arms or wrists or an ample bosom.  Highlight them but not at the same time. Too much of jewelry distracts the viewer’s attention and creates chaos. Choose a part of the body that you want to highlight and make it a focal point. Wear one big jewelry piece to attract the eye to the focal point.  Rest of the jewelry pieces should be subdued and  in synch.  Jewelry can also be used to distract the eye away from a part of your body or create illusion. For example a  long rope necklace can add length to upper torso or long dangle earrings can take the eye away from the neck.

Your Clothes

The point of jewelry is to compliment the outfit and not outdo it. Look at the outfit you are wearing let the colors and prints guide you. A pearl or crystal necklace always looks good with a black dress. Bold Jewelry will clash with bold print on your clothes, instead wear delicate jewelry with it.

Your Occasion

Wearing distracting jewelry like long dangle earrings, statement rings or too many bangles is not appropriate for an interview, but just right for a concert or a night out with girlfriends.

Your Balance

Buy jewelry the same way you buy clothes. Experiment and see what type of jewelry looks good on you. Do not follow a fashion fad blindly. Think whether it goes with your style and personality. Remember it is just a fad it will go away.

 

Keep it simple.

Jewelry Size & Fit Guide

How to Choose the Right Jewelry Size

Selecting the correct jewelry size ensures comfort, balance, and a polished look. Whether you are choosing bangles for stacking, anklets for festive styling, or necklaces for layering, proper fit enhances both appearance and wearability. Use this guide to measure accurately and choose the ideal size for your handcrafted jewelry.

 

Bangle & Bracelet Sizing Guide

How do I measure my bangle size?

To determine your correct bangle size:

  1. Bring your thumb and little finger together as if putting on a bangle.

  2. Measure across the widest part of your hand using a flexible measuring tape.

  3. Compare your measurement to the size chart below.

Standard Bangle Sizes

Bangles should slide over your hand comfortably without excessive force, but they should not fall off easily once worn.

 


How should bracelets fit?

For clasp or adjustable bracelets:

Bracelets should feel secure without digging into the skin. Slight movement is normal, but excessive sliding may indicate a larger size than needed.

 

Anklet Sizing Guide

How do I measure my anklet size?

To measure for anklets:

  1. Wrap a measuring tape around your ankle at the point where you want the anklet to sit.

  2. Add 0.5 to 1 inch for comfort and movement.

Anklets should sit comfortably around the ankle without feeling tight. For layered or decorative anklets, slightly looser sizing allows for natural movement.

 

 

Necklace & Pendant Length Guide

Necklace length affects how a piece frames your neckline and complements your outfit. The chart below shows common necklace lengths and how they typically fall when worn.

 

 


What is the most common necklace length?

An 18-inch necklace (Princess length) is the most versatile and commonly worn length. It typically rests at the base of the neck and pairs well with both everyday and festive outfits.

 


What is a 16-inch necklace?

A 16-inch necklace (Choker length) sits close to the neckline and works well with open or V-shaped necklines.

 


What is a 24-inch necklace?

A 24-inch necklace (Matinee length) falls below the collarbone and is ideal for layering or statement pendants.

 


What is a 30-inch or longer necklace?

Necklaces measuring 30 inches or more (Opera and Rope lengths) create an elongated look and are often used for layered styling or traditional statement pieces.
