With so much choice out there, choosing jewellery can be a very confusing and overwhelming experience. Before you get started, you need to think about items which are going to look great on you – matching your skin tone and face shape perfectly.
Once you have identified the jewellery items which match you, it will be much easier to choose them in the future. You are best off trying them on in person first, and then you can check out stores such as Ivy Dayelle to choose some beautiful pieces that suit you perfectly. So, let’s get started.
Determine Your Skin Tone
The first and most important thing that you need to do is to determine your skin tone. The best way of doing this is by checking out the colour of your veins. If your veins are blue, it is likely that you have a cool skin tone. You fall into this category if you have pale skin which burns fairly easily. If your veins are a greener colour, it is likely that you have a warm skin tone which tans well or could be ebony or espresso coloured.
Match Jewellery with Skin Tone
Now that you have identified your skin tone, the time has come to match your jewellery with it. Cooler skin tones tend to look best with red, purple and blue gemstones. White metals like silver or white gold tend to work well with it. Some of the colours that look best with warmer skin tones include yellow, orange, and green. When it comes to the metal, you should be looking for yellow gold or copper. Diamonds tend to look good with any skin tone – no wonder they are a girl’s best friend!
Determine Your Face Shape
Next up, it is time to take a closer look at your face shape as this will also have a great bearing on the jewellery that you select. Round faces are fairly easy to identify, while oval faces are longer than they are wide. Square faces show their shape in the jawline, and heart-shaped faces are widest at the cheekbones. Finally, we have diamond-shaped faces which are categorised by a narrow chin and a wider forehead and temples.
Match Jewellery with Your Face Shape
If you have a round face, you should be aiming to match the jewellery with items that offset the shape well such as long necklaces and angled earrings. Oval faces tend to be fairly versatile, but hoop and chandelier earrings can be particularly flattering. People who have square faces should go for necklaces with pendants or tridants, as well as larger earrings. Heart-shaped faces tend to suit a choker or short necklace to add roundness to a narrow chin. Finally, if you have a diamond-shaped face, you could go for choker necklaces and short hoops.
Hopefully, this guide has provided you with a good starting point so you can better purchase jewellery that complements your skin tone and face shape perfectly.
