  • What Jewelry Earns Compliments?

    Most of us have a piece of jewelry that tends to elicits compliments from others. That piece just naturally attracts the eye. But guess what? It’s not just the jewelry–it’s you and the jewelry. So if there’s a necklace or pair of earrings that always garners compliments, ask yourself why. Does the color of the metal suit match the undertones of your skin? Is the piece distinctive in its design and match your personality?

    Conversely, what have you noticed a friend of family member wearing that always catches your attention? Why?

    These kind of indicators inform your next jewelry purchase. In short:

    Work with what’s already working!

  • Skin Tone and Jewelry – Making the Right Match

    Most of us think only in terms of clothing when it comes to matching our skin tone, but instinctually we gravitate toward one metal or another because we know silver or gold simply looks better. If you’re unsure, here’s a smart chart to guide you:

    Determining Skin Tone

    Look at the skin in natural light. Try to find a spot where the veins are easily noticeable. For most people, the wrists are their best bet. Use the table below to determine one’s skin tone.

    Tone

    Undertones

    Veins
    Cool Pink or red Blue
    Warm Yellow or gold Green

    Matching Skin Tone to Metals

    Metals are easy to divide into cool and warm categories. The following table highlights the most common cool and warm metals found in jewelry.

    Cool

    		 White and silvery metals are best. Examples include: silver, platinum, titanium, stainless steel, and white gold.

    Warm

    		 Brown and yellowish metals are best. Examples include: yellow gold, copper, brass, and pewter.

    Matching Skin Tone to Gem Colors

    Metals are the base of jewelry. They need to match the skin tone so as not to distract, but the metal itself is usually not the focus of a piece of jewelry. Whether artificial or real, gems need to match one’s skin tone in order to create a cohesive look. Pale skin can look great with the right jewelry, but the wrong jewelry can make such skin look washed out and even unhealthy. Use the following table to find the right gem colors.

    Cool

    		 Bright colors such as pink, red, blue, purple, and green are best because they bring life and vivacity to cool skin.

    Warm

    Earth tones such as orange, brown, yellow, and turquoise are ideal because warm skin is very earthy as well.

  • Ear Cuffs – Gotta Haves or Have Nots?

    Joan Rivers, one of the E Network’s “Fashion Police” has officially declared ear cuffs as a “gotta have” for the summer. And why wouldn’t they be? Not only have they been seen on the likes of Rhianna, Michelle Williams, Emma Watson and Miley Cyrus, but they don’t require piercing, so anyone can give them a try. Jewelers like Roberto Cavalli, Repossi, and Annelise Michelson have been jumping on the bandwagon as well.
