How to Choose the Right Jewelry for Your Skin Tone and Face Shape

Choosing the right jewelry to buy can be a tricky, confusing and sometimes even frustrating experience. The following article will help you choose the jewelry to buy based on your skin tone and your face shape, two factors that crucially affect your choice.

Define Your Skin Tone

Locate an area on your body where veins are visible, usually the wrist serves as a good reference point. Based on the color of your veins, your skin tone may fall into one of two categories, cool or warm:

Cool skin tones are identifiable by bluish colored veins. People with cooler skin tones may notice pinkish or rosy-red undertones when looking in the mirror. Eye color can range from light blue to dark brown and anywhere in between. Most people have cool skin, including people with dark skin and tan skin.

Warm skin tones are identifiable by greenish colored veins. People with warmer skin tones may notice yellow or golden-apricot undertones when looking in the mirror. Eye color can, again, be any color. People whose natural hair color is red, orange, or strawberry blonde almost always have warm skin. Sometimes hair may be browner, but it will have a reddish tint. People with darker skin are not usually warm-skinned.

Choose a metal and matching color

Metals:

Cool skin tones favor metals such as silver, platinum, and white gold.

Warm skin tones favor metals such as gold, pewter, brass, and copper.

Balancing Colors:

Cool skin tones favor stones such as white pearls and diamonds. Stone color should focus on jewel tones such as pinks, purples, blues, reds, and magentas.

Warm skin tones favor stones such as coral or golden toned pearls. Stone color should focus on more earthy tones such as browns, oranges, greens, yellows, peaches, corals, and also turquoises.

Consider the shape of your face

Heart/Inverted Triangle/Diamond Shaped Face:

Earrings: dangle or drop earrings help to lengthen the face.

Necklaces: chokers help contrast and soften the sharp angle of the chin.

Round/Square/Triangular Shaped Face:

Earrings: try elongated shapes such as ovals, or angular shapes such as rectangles. Square shaped faces look particularly well in teardrop earrings.

Necklaces: look for necklaces that elongate your face, typically necklaces that extend below the neckline (28" to 32").

Rectangular/Oblong Shaped Face:

Earrings: choose short or round earrings to contrast the longer face shape.

Necklaces: chokers, especially if you have a long neck.

Oval Shaped Face:

Earrings: dangle earrings (not too long), preferably angular shaped.

Necklaces: can be either long or short (if long neck, and then chose a shorter necklace)

SUNGLASSES YOU COULD TRY THIS SUMMER

Summer is that one time of the year, you can wear anything and it will be a trend. Those spaghetti straps and tube tops will make a come-back. Along with crop tops, maxi dresses and the ever so lovely short summer dresses! Girls in heels can give their legs a break and wear flip flops, and same goes for the guys.

Now, the one accessory we can't do without during summer is sunglasses. A pair of sunglasses can add oodles of oomph to your look.

Let’s take a look at the different types of sunglasses you could sport this summer, and look stylish!

AVIATORS

For men, aviators give a very sexy and hot and irresistible pilot look, but on women, aviators give a super sophisticated and posh Hollywood celebrity-ish look.

Aviator sunglasses are a style of sunglasses that were developed by Bausch & Lomb. The original Bausch & Lomb design is now marketed as Ray-Ban Aviators, although other manufacturers also produce aviator style sunglasses. They are characterized by dark, often reflective lenses having an area two or three times the area of the eyeball, and very thin metal frames with double or triple bridge (so-called ″bullet hole″) and bayonet earpieces or flexible cable temples that hook behind the ears. The original design featured G-15 tempered glass lenses, i.e., neutral gray, transmitting 15% of incoming light.

CLUB MASTERS

These sunglasses are a good change from aviators. If you aren’t too confident about carrying aviators, then you should immediately buy yourself a pair of club masters. They are cool, fun and make you look so approachable. And summer is all about fun, right?

WAYFARERS

Last but not the least, the best kind of sunglasses available for summer are wayfarers. There’s this certain inescapable charm about them. No matter what you wear, you can always rock wayfarers. On a bikini. On shorts. On a summer dress. For men? Shorts, crisp white shirt, boat shoes and wayfarers, and you are good to go!!!

Wayfarers were designed in 1952 by American optical designer Raymond Stegeman, who procured dozens of patents for Bausch and Lomb, Ray-Ban's parent company at that time the design was a radically new shape, "a mid-century classic to rival Eames chairs and Cadillac tail fins." According to design critic Stephen Bayley, the "distinctive trapezoidal frame spoke a non-verbal language that hinted at unstable dangerousness, but one nicely tempered by the sturdy arms which, according to the advertising, gave the frames a 'masculine look.'"

Ray Ban Wayfarers, which took advantage of new plastic molding technology, marked the transition between a periods of eyewear made from thin metal frames to an era of plastic eyewear.

Apart from these, you could always try some fun, heart shaped, circle shaped, sunglasses at the beach parties. But that’s that about them. Don’t take to formal places, unless you want to look like a little kid!
