When choosing jewelry or costume jewelry, it is important to take into account not only the anatomical features of the body structure, face shape and dress neckline, but also other factors on the advice of experts. Let's also consider several options for creating beautiful DIY accessories that can complement any image of a woman.

Types of jewelry around the neck

The following types of accessories are worn around the neck:

Beads. Beads of different shapes and colors are strung on a thread or a stretchable elastic band. They can be of a variety of materials: from ordinary jewelry to precious stones

Velvet. This is one pendant of various shapes, attached to a strip of fabric that fits snugly around the neck. You can complement the accessory with embroidery on the fabric with contrasting threads, lace or organza

Necklace. Most often, this is one of the types of jewelry, where the centralpart is more massive and pronounced. Accessory can be rigid or flexible

Pendant. This product is round or oval. It is strung on a thread or chain. It can also be in two parts (front and back) or with a photo inside

Choker. The product looks like velvet, but does not fit snugly around the neck. It can be a strip embroidered with beads, a chain or a lace

Collar. A massive accessory that looks like a collar is only made of various decorations (stones, beads, chains) that are strung on several threads

Chain. Most often it is made of precious metals, with various weaving. It can be both a massive jewelry and a thin chain for everyday wear

Cameo. An accessory made of stone with a three-dimensional pattern, and through the hole made, it is attached to a silk ribbon or velvet cord

Varieties of decoration depending on the material of manufacture

Also, accessories can be divided into groups depending on the material from which they are made.

Types of jewelry depending on the material:

1. Jewellery (using precious metals: gold, silver, platinum).
2. Jewelry haberdashery (works from non-precious alloys: nickel, aluminum, bronze, but with gold or silver plating).
3. Metal haberdashery (inexpensive jewelry using beads, leather, clay, plastic).

Despite the fact that the last class is the cheapest, inHere you can find original and truly primitive things that will allow the fairer sex to stand out from the crowd. In addition, such jewelry can be made by hand.

There is also a separate class of jewelry made from precious stones (diamond, emerald, topaz, ruby, etc.). These products belong to the high price category and are designed for special occasions where the real “cream of society” gathers.

Do the type and shape of the face affect the choice of jewelry

When choosing a certain type of gold jewelry or bijouterie, it is worth considering the shape of the face. Jewelry selection by face type:

• Oval (almost all accessories are suitable for this type, regardless of type or shape, here the choice should be guided by the outfit, as well as the neckline).
• Square (pendants or chains should be elegant, not massive, preferably elongated, which will visually make the face more round or oval).
• Diamond (Medium length suits jewelry).
• Triangular (most often massive jewelry is suitable for such women, but it is better to refuse elongated ones).
• With pronounced cheekbones (here it is worth focusing on small accessories. It can be a thin chain with a pendant that will distract attention from flaws).
• Small face, but long neck (here you can visually shorten the neck with short pendants and focus on large elements).

Also, when choosing, you should pay attention to the height of a woman,her parameters and hairstyle, and not just the oval of the face. If a woman is small in stature and has a petite physique, small jewelry will suit her, which will look easy on her, and not weigh down the image.

The nuances of choosing jewelry for clothes

Many women are interested in what kind of jewelry to choose with everyday clothes. Here you need to be guided by the following rules:

3. The color or pattern of the garment. For a monochromatic ensemble, intricate compositions with various components are suitable; for a colorful or colorful outfit, these should be monochrome compositions.
4. "Modest" jewelry fits the original style of clothing. This may be an asymmetrical robe or the presence of many different details on it.
5. Full ladies should give preference to medium-sized jewelry, as large ones will only make the image heavier. Delicate and elongated pendants are suitable for petite women.
6. Under a blouse or dress with three-quarter sleeves, as well as long socks, you can wear bracelets that will be greatlook regardless of the type of woman's figure.

Recently, the ancient tradition of wearing rings and bracelets over gloves has been revived. Despite the popularity, such an ensemble does not look very aesthetically pleasing.
