Your Jewelry Wardrobe For Your Signature Style

Jewelry is timeless. While your latest dress may go out of style next season, you can still wear the jewelry you own today years from now. Great jewelry can even be heirlooms you can pass on to future generations.
If you don't already own a jewelry wardrobe that epitomizes your signature style, now is the time to start. You don't need to spend a fortune on your jewels. Although real diamonds, sapphires and rubies set in platinum are wonderful, you can have a great jewelry wardrobe with costume jewelry that looks so real, no one can see the difference. Hey, you can get affordable jewels in silver and cubic zirconia.

Jewelry is like art. Buy it only if you love it.

Also, keep an eye on proportions. If you are big, forget about wearing delicate jewelry because you would end up looking bigger. Make the most of what nature has given you with impressive jewelry like stunning chokers or lariats, wide bracelets or cuffs, large earrings... the works.

If you are petite, then avoid anything chunky. Go for delicate jewelry. Small earrings. Pendants on chains. Scale down everything to your size.

Begin with the bare basics.

Get yourself a pretty necklace you can wear with your little black dress, or you tank top and t-shirt. The basic pendant and chain would do. If you are petite, a small pendant on a delicate chain would be ideal. If you are big, go for a chunkier chain with a large pendant that stands out.

A pair of stud earrings can be worn to work or for a date. Casual, formal, for any occasion at all. Get at least one pair of stud earrings you can fall back on.

Hoop earrings have been around from the time of ancient civilizations because that is the most universally flattering shape for an earring. Get a pair in silver or gold or any metal that suits you. If you are big, go for big hoops. If you are petite, go for thinner, more delicate hoops.
