The right Jewellery
Have you ever been in a situation where you have your dress
sorted for a special occasion, you don’t need to buy jewellery because in your
box at home, you have loads, but when the time comes, everything even your
underwear is perfectly picked to pair up with your footwear, but then it comes
to the part you thought would be the easiest. Jewellery. Hmm. What goes with
what?
Just because jewellery is expensive, doesn’t mean it will
compliment every outfit. You can decorate yourself in jewels with the plainest
dress and it will look good or you can spoil a perfectly beautiful dress by
wearing the wrong jewellery.
It’s said that if you have an oval face, you should pick
triangular earrings. If you have a heart shaped face then drop earrings without
dangly bits on the end, just a simple drop.
For a plain look that can be classy, wear one or two rings
and if you have a plain outfit, then you can jazz up with your statement rings.
A blain black V neck dress for example can look really sophisticated with drop
different coloured jewel earrings and multi coloured rings. But if you are
wearing dots or patterns, then I would go for more simple rings either plain
silver or gold.
Rubies on top of a dark blue like a navy outfit, would look
so lovely, imagine that navy blue with the reds. If you are stuck on what
jewels to buy, stick with diamonds. You can’t go wrong with them and they look
amazing with a T/shirt and jeans, or a party dress. Your office suit or even a
bathing costume. Diamonds really are a girl’s best friend and I think men look
great in them too.
Personally, I like pearls on other people rather than me. I feel
too pail skinned for them but what I do like to see, in my head of course, is
pearls with aqua or blues so the colours of the sea.
Buying other people jewellery is really a challenge I find. As
jewellery is so personal. So, I do try to avoid that and I really don’t like
receiving jewellery from friends/family, though I do have to say my Son and Husband
buy the loveliest jewellery for me. But I guess that is because they know what I
like. And that is small jewels by the way, I don’t like huge stones, I like
very delicate stones. And I’m tall and look like I have had a feast or seven
too many, but still small jewels I prefer.
If you are very small in height, then personally I would
wear small jewellery as I would imagine that large stones would make you look
smaller. For me personally less is best. And my favourite stone is a diamond. I
love them. I don’t like wearing yellow gold as I’m so fair skinned, so silver
or platinum I prefer. People with dark skin are fortunate as they look great in
all kinds of jewellery I feel.
I love men in jewellery. In fact, it was me who persuaded my
Son to get his ear pierced when he was about 13. To my Husbands horror. My Husband
has dark hair and skin he has a Spanish look about him so he looks lovely in
all coloured jewellery but sadly he hardly wears it. He has a couple of rings
including his wedding ring, and some watches. He would like a chain, but we
haven’t yet found one suitable as he wants a really thick one and they are so
expensive. And the ones I have seen are so boring!
I wonder why we feel like we need things around our neck,
wrists, fingers and ankles? Around 15 BC, Greek people started to make jewellery
by winding wires, and beads shaped like animals were used too and shells to
make necklaces etc. and in 1600 Greek people started using gems and golds. But
wearing jewellery started long before that with the Neanderthals
who wore ostrich eggs made into beads, from a huge 40,000 years ago.
There are still places in the world where people wear
jewellery rather than clothing. Personally,
I think I shall stick with wearing clothes and possibly jewels to decorate
them.
For everyones best
interest.
