With so many different styles to choose from, we know it can be difficult to choose the perfect necklace or pair of earrings for your girlfriend. Keeping that in mind, we have put together the ultimate guide on buying jewelry in order to give you a helping hand…
Firstly, you should consider your girlfriend’s skin tone when purchasing fashion jewelry. You need to determine whether she has a warm or cool skin tone. Warm skin tones are defined by having a golden-apricot or yellow undertone and greenish colored veins. Those with orange or red hair almost always have a warm skin tone.
On the other hand, if your girlfriend has a cool skin tone, she will have pinkish undertones and bluish-colored veins. Once you have determined what type of skin tone your partner has, you will then be able to pick the best colors and metals in regards to jewelry selection.
Gold, brass, and pewter, whether for necklaces or a nose ring, work beautifully with a warm skin tone, as do the following colors, coral, peach, orange, brown, yellow, and green. If your partner has a cool skin tone you should opt for silver, white gold, or platinum. In terms of color, red, purple, blue, and pink work well.
You can also choose jewelry to complement her face shape as well. Face shapes include oval-shaped face, rectangular face shape, round or square face shape, and finally heart or inverted triangle face shape.
Of course, when considering face shape, we are only going to mention necklace and earring designs. After all, bracelets and fashion rings are worn away from the face and so the shape of your partner’s face is irrelevant when it comes to choosing a design. So, let’s begin with an oval face shape. What styles should you go for? The good news is that both short and long necklaces look beautiful, yet if your girlfriend has a long neck it is advised to go for a shorter necklace. When it comes to earrings, angular designs work particularly well and you should consider a pair of short dangle earrings to wow your partner.
Next, we have those with a rectangular or oblong-shaped face. Short necklaces are the best option if you have this face shape. In fact, chokers look stunning. When it comes to earrings you should opt for those that are either round or short in design, as they will contrast your girlfriend’s longer face shape and thus work really well.
If your partner has a round, triangular, or square-shaped face, you will essentially be looking for the opposite of what someone with a rectangular face shape will wear. Your aim will be to choose styles that are going to elongate the face. So, look for necklaces that extend below the neckline. Anything between 28 inches and 32 inches will work a treat.
If your girlfriend has a squared shape face, in particular, you should definitely invest in a pair of teardrop earrings. Otherwise, seek fashion earrings containing shapes that are elongated, such as rectangles and ovals.
