Many women like to wear jewelry to enhance their beauty and keep up with fashion trends. With the wide choice of accessories available from jewelers and designers, it’s not always easy to decide on the perfect necklace or earrings to brighten up your look. To choose the right jewelry, it’s important to take a number of criteria into account, particularly when it comes to your body type or skin tone. Are you looking for a gift idea for a pretty piece of jewelry? Would you like to treat yourself to a trendy new accessory to match your clothing style? Here’s how to choose the right jewelry.
Choose your jewelry according to your body type
Logically, every woman chooses her earrings, pendant necklaces, bracelets or rings according to her taste and outfit. When it comes to style, however, it’s advisable to apply certain rules to choose jewelry that matches your appearance and body type. This is necessary if you want to be fashionable without making a fashion faux pas! The shape of your face needs to be taken into account, as do the size of your neck and your silhouette. Just follow the guide!
Your face shape
The shape of your head is important when it comes to choosing your new earrings.
If you have a square face, it’s best to avoid wearing angular jewelry or jewelry with complex shapes. The idea is to favor round shapes to soften your features. For example, you can opt for creoles or large dangling earrings with tassels. Long earrings are permitted, as long as they are not too small in size: this would create a settling effect.
If your face is rectangular, the rules are the same as for square faces. However, with a more elongated face, it’s not advisable to wear earrings that are too long, as this would accentuate the length.
If your face is round or diamond-shaped, small, discreet earrings such as silver chips or studs are ideal. You can also opt for geometric designs that create a harmonious balance with the soft curves of your face. Creoles and large, round earrings should be avoided.
If you have an oval face, you’re in luck: there’s no need to choose your accessories based on your features, because everything fits! You can even wear big, imposing earrings or accessories with a wide base.
If your face is heart-shaped or triangular, with the wide part at the forehead, the aim is to restore balance with an inverted shape. This could be a teardrop or triangle shape with the base pointing downwards. If your face is shaped like a triangle, with the base at chin level, it’s the other way around. In this case, choose pieces that are wide at the lobe and thinner at the ends to counterbalance the width of your jaw.
The length of your neck should also be taken into account when choosing your jewelry size. Generally speaking, medium-sized earrings can be adapted to all neck morphologies. For shorter necks, we recommend smaller models. Women with long necks can afford to wear longer models.
Your silhouette
When choosing a necklace, you can rely on your body’s morphology. By choosing the right shape and length, you’ll have everything you need for a perfect, irresistible look!
Do you have a figure 8, triangle or H shape? Short necklaces and lightweight chokers will add plenty of style to your face.
For square or broad-shouldered silhouettes, you can opt for a long necklace with a pendant or a sautoir.
For rounded or oval faces, we recommend medium-length necklaces with discreet, geometric pendants. For angular faces, opt for short necklaces. Large pendants should be chosen and tried on with care, as they can weigh down your silhouette. In all cases, we advise you to opt for medium-sized pendants.

Choosing jewelry to match your skin tone
Many women know that it’s important to choose the color of their clothes and evening wear to match their skin tone. This also applies to the choice of jewelry, essential for bringing color to your look.
If your skin is white or fair, we recommend wearing jewelry made of silver metals, such as silver bracelets, creoles with pearls or white gold rings. You can also brighten up your pale complexion by pairing your jewelry with colorful accessories like fancy leather earrings.
Is your skin slightly tanned or matte? You can wear silver jewelry or accessories in warmer colors and materials: gold-plated earrings, a necklace adorned with fine stones…
If your skin is dark, you can dare to wear gold or copper jewelry. Bright colors are also recommended for women with darker complexions, as they enhance their natural beauty!
