Many women use various accessories to create an attractive look, both everyday and solemn. There are various types of jewelry, not only depending on the shape, but also on the material of manufacture.
When choosing jewelry or jewelry, it is important to consider not only the anatomical features of the body structure, face shape and neckline of the dress, but also other factors on the advice of specialists. We will also consider several options for creating beautiful accessories with your own hands, which can complement any image of a woman.
Types of jewelry on the neck
There are the following types of accessories that are worn around the neck:
- Beads. Beads of various shapes and colors are strung on a thread or stretch elastic. They can be of various 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 fabric with contrasting threads, lace or organza.
- Necklace. Most often, this is one of the types of jewelry, where the central part is more massive and pronounced. The accessory can be rigid or flexible.
- Pendant. This product is round or oval. It is strung on a thread or chain. It can also consist of two parts (front and back) or be with a photograph inside.
- Choker. The product looks like velvet, but does not fit snugly on the neck. It can be a strip embroidered with beads, a chain or a lace.
- Collard. A massive accessory that looks like a collar is only made of various jewelry (stones, beads, chains), which are strung on several threads.
- Chain. Most often made of precious metals, with various weaving. It can be either a massive jewelry, or a thin chain for daily wear.
- Cameo. The accessory is made of stone, on which a three-dimensional drawing is applied, and through a hole made, it is attached to a silk ribbon or velvet lace.
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:
- Jewelry (using precious metals: gold, silver, platinum).
- Jewelry haberdashery (works from base alloys: nickel, aluminum, bronze, but with gold or silver plating).
- Metal haberdashery (inexpensive jewelry using beads, leather, clay, plastic).
Despite the fact that the last class is the cheapest, in it you can find original and truly primitive things that will allow a representative of the weaker sex to stand out from the crowd. In addition, such jewelry can be done with your own hands.
There is also a separate class of jewelry that is made of precious stones (diamond, emerald, topaz, ruby, etc.). These products belong to the high price category and are intended for special occasions, where the real "cream of society" is collected.
Does the type and shape of the face affect the choice of jewelry
When choosing a certain type of gold jewelry or jewelry should take into account the shape of the face. The choice of jewelry by type of face:
- Oval (almost all accessories are suitable for this type, regardless of type or shape; here, when choosing, you must be guided by the outfit, as well as the neckline).
- Square (pendants or chains should be elegant, not massive, best elongated, which will visually make the face more round or oval).
- Diamond-shaped (suitable average length of jewelry).
- Triangular (most often massive jewelry is suitable for such women, but it’s better to refuse elongated jewelry).
- 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 the shortcomings).
- A small face, but a long neck (here you can visually shorten the neck with short pendants and focus on large elements).
Also, when choosing, it is worth paying attention to the woman's height, her parameters and hairstyle, and not just the oval of the face. If a woman is of small stature and miniature physique, small jewelry will suit her, which will easily look on her, and not make the image heavier.
The nuances of the selection of jewelry for clothes
Many women are interested in what types of jewelry should be chosen with casual clothes. Here you must be guided by the following rules:
- One style for clothes and jewelry. The image of a teenage girl is suitable for inexpensive jewelry made of plastic. If a woman prefers ethno-style, then it is better to choose wooden or leather products. Office workers may prefer small silver or gold pendants.
- The color of accessories can be either contrasting to the clothes, or supporting the tone of the attire. If you still choose contrasting decorations, then there should be a couple more elements to match it. It will be somewhat inappropriate on its own.
- Coloring or pattern of apparel. For a single-color ensemble, intricate compositions with various components are suitable, for a colorful or colorful outfit, these should be single-color compositions.
- "Modest" jewelry fit the original style of clothing. It can be an asymmetric robe or the presence of many diverse details on it.
- Full ladies should give preference to jewelry of medium shape, since large ones will only make the image heavier. Tiny and elongated pendants are suitable for miniature women.
- Under a blouse or a dress with a sleeve three quarters, as well as long knee-high socks, you can wear bracelets that will look great regardless of the type of figure of a woman.
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.
Features of jewelry depending on the neckline
Among the main 5 types of jewelry (bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings and beads), neck pendants are most carefully selected.
Round neckline. Both massive jewelry and small ones are suitable for him. The main thing is that the suspension does not hide under the neckline.
Oval neckline. Most often, this image is complemented by a massive necklace of stones of various shapes. It is important that they are without sharp corners, it is better to choose more rounded ones.
