Here’s a small guide on How to Choose your Necklace according with the dress neckline. It is important to know the basics on choosing the pendant or necklace. Your look must have equilibrium and a bit of harmony in order to appear stylish and graceful. Good luck!

  • Wear a statement piece that is sure to draw attention, like a contemporary multi-circle diamond pendant, or 100 inches of freshwater pearls wrapped around thrice.
  • Add a burst of color to your look by letting a vivid gemstone take center stage, like a stunning green amethyst pendant.
  • When it comes to halter, sweetheart and V-necklines, your jewelry of choice should accentuate your plunging décolletage.
  • In the case of a halter, try a cascade of diamonds or pearls strung from a single strand – this Y-drop design will emphasize the vertical shape of your neckline.
  • For sweethearts and V-necks, choose a unique pendant that hangs from a thin chain long enough to dip in the center, therefore creating the same motif as your neckline. Off-the-shoulder necklines require fine jewelry that brings focus to your collarbone.
  • When going strapless, you can allow yourself to be bold with your ornaments, because your exposed neckline and shoulders serve as an exquisite blank canvas.
  • Choose something light and refined that sparkles, but isn’t overwhelming is size.
  • For an allure of subtle sophistication, allow a pearl and diamond pendant to hang delicately on your neckline.
  • Spaghetti straps give the impression of a graceful weightlessness, so your necklace should reflect exactly that.
  • Go for a look that is simple yet dazzling by letting a diamond pendant sparkle against your neckline.
  • If you are feeling a little more daring, turn that single stone into a vibrant gem and add a colorful flavor to your wedding attire.

Remember that while a sparkling triple-tier necklace might look dazzling on its own, it might totally clash with your overall look. So whether you choose to drape yourself in diamonds or wrap your neckline in pearls, take the time to consider the design of your dress and your hairstyle before making any decisions.

This beautiful  Wind and Fire Crystal Knock Out Ring from IMAN Global Chic Earth is an impresing item to have in the jewelry wardrobe. Swirling enamel swathes the domed center station of the ring. Metalwork “flames” extend from one side of the jewelry, glistening with pavé-set, round clear crystals. For a touch of colorized sparkle, a pear-cut CZ (approx. 7×5mm) centers the “flames” from a flush setting. Remarkable! Even Angelina Jolie would be enchanted by this ring.

I have fallen in love with the celtic jewelry.  Surely, I’m not the only one captivated with this style. Celtic jewelry shares mysterious and the mystica power as an extension and a reminder of the traditions and rituals of the Celts, an ancient European people. Today, men and women of all ages wear Celtic jewelry not only for its beauty, but also for its symbolism and metaphysical connotations.

purple_penannular

Not my case tough.  A person does not have to be Irish or Scottish or have any other Celtic connection in order to appreciate Celtic jewelry. I personaly enjoy wearing such jewelry just because it is simply beautiful! Celtic jewelry is generaly appreciated for its intricacy and esthetic appeal by many jewelry lovers and most of my friends actualy.  Numerous patterns of Celtic origin, such as the spiral and the cross, are incorporated by jewelers into their creations.

UniqueCelticJewelryArt1

The Celtic spiral symbolizes eternity and is used abundantly in many Celtic jewelry items today. Just as popular is the Celtic cross, which pre-dates the Christian cross by about two centuries. The Celtic cross is thought to bring knowledge, understanding and the fortitude to deal with trials and adversities, as compared to the Christian cross, which is believed to protect the wearer from harm.

white-gold-celtic-cross

Claddagh rings and bracelets are two more examples of popular Celtic jewelry items that are replete with symbolism. Rings that have the Celtic knot design symbolize eternal and undying love; this is why they are exchanged by the bride and groom in present day wedding ceremonies-to signify their fidelity and never-ending commitment to each other. Such rings and bracelets are also given to friends as an indication of loyalty.

To all the superfluous summer tops, precious and vaporous blouses that just seem to float, my suggestion is accessorizing them with a simple long chain with a chic pendant. I have found just the perfect example for you – the necklaces from MARC collection by Marc Jacobs. Marc’s creations are much more than mere simple elegant necklaces, but at the same time watches. These watch pendants are so chic and practical, I completely fell for them. Have a look!

This week’s jewelry is a very simple but classy necklace that can become a great accessory and capture all the attention around that splendid neckline. This “Bianco e Nero Round Lava Necklace” is the creation of Paolo Costagli. The round bead lava necklace is strung to an 18kt white gold clasp set with white round brilliant diamonds.

Earrings add polish and drama to any outfit, and these inexpensive pieces of jewelry can easily change your look and enhance your style. By buying a few basic earrings and a few novelty pieces, you can create an earrings wardrobe to boost your style.

  • Invest in a few high quality pairs of earrings. Simple diamond or pearl studs look great with casual outfits, business attire or formal wear. These two basic pairs serve as the foundation of your earrings wardrobe.

  • Find simple hoop earrings in silver and gold. These pairs don’t need to be costly, but they coordinate with almost any outfit and add a little flair to your earrings wardrobe. Just be sure to buy hoops in proportion to your height–smaller hoops if you’re shorter and larger hoops if you’re taller.

  • Buy a few pairs of fun, dangling earrings. You can find unique pieces online, at antique malls and at craft fairs. There is so much variety in dangling earrings that you can use these purchases to show off your personality through your earrings wardrobe.

    • Get at least one pair of dramatic duster, dangling or chandelier earrings to wear with formal attire. This pair should add drama and glamour to any little black dress, rounding out your earrings wardrobe for every occasion.

      The key of knowing “how to choose earrings” is to find the ones that complement your face. Because earrings are a fantastic way to enhance your appearance or to complete an outfit you must remember that they must always add balance and shape to your face. Here are some tips that will have you quickly on your way of finding the right earrings.

    1. Round Face
    2. Round faces need earrings to provide length, such as long, dangling or rectangular-shaped earrings. Since the vertical lines emphasizes more on length, the face begins to look slimmer and longer.

      • Oval Face

      People with oval-shaped faces are the most lucky ones. Their faces are very proportionate and they can wear almost any style of earrings to enhance their appearance.

      • Rectangular Face

      Rectangular-shaped faces have more length than width and need earrings that do not emphasise length. Small studs work well and long dangling earrings should be avoided.

    3. Square Face
    4. As long as you avoid harsh angles and square shapes, you can wear just about anything in the earring category. Hoops and curved edges will add the necessary roundness, and drop earrings, long tear drops, or multi-tiered dangling earrings will give a square shape some length.Paris Hilton

    5. Heart-shaped Face tends to have a wide forehead and cheeks which narrows to a point at the chin. This face shape is complimented by adding width at the jaw line with triangular-shaped, tear-drop or chandelier style earrings.

      Sharp features: Wear round earrings or earrings with curves in order to sweeten up your face shape (hoops or round beaded earrings). The curves soften the features over all to enhance and create a very flattering look  for women with such sharp features.

      Flat Features: The best way to sharpen face shapes with flat features is to wear angular earrings. Earrings with points like stars, triangles, and diamonds work well with women with flat features. You can have some extra fun with geometric shaped earrings.

      Petite women need earrings that bring the viewer’s eye up. They have to choose earrings that compliment their  size. It’s important paying attention to dangling earrings (and the space between the ears and shoulder). Longer earrings will block that space and give the appearance of a shorter neck line.

      Ladies of average height are not restricted by height. They can wear any style of earrings that also flatters their face shape.

      Diamond chandelier earrings

      Tall women need to pay attention to the space between their ears and shoulder also. They need earrings that don’t get lost in that space such as long, dangling styles.
