How to choose the ideal piece of jewellery
It takes time to select the ideal gift. And when you’re choosing the perfect piece of jewellery for a special someone, you want to show how well you know them. But you don’t want to get it wrong!
So, we've put together a foolproof guide to choosing the right piece of women's jewellery for your loved one (or yourself!).
Consider the complexion
First things first, think about their skin tone. Remember that when your loved one wears their jewellery, they may choose a shade of makeup different from their natural complexion, so take that into account.
But if we’re looking at natural skin tone, consider whether their skin has warm or cool undertones.
Identifying skin tone
The easiest way to determine a person’s skin tone is to look at their wrist veins.
If their veins appear:
Greenish, they have warm-toned skin;
Blue or purple, they have cool-toned skin;
A mix of green and blue tones, they have neutral skin;
Invisible, they have neutral skin.
Remember, having naturally pale skin doesn’t necessarily mean they have cool undertones, and dark skin doesn’t automatically attribute to warm undertones.
Some other questions to ask:
Does their skin burn easily in the sun? This is likely to suggest cool-toned skin.
Do they tan without burning? This suggests they have warm-toned skin.
Do they burn before tanning? They have a neutral skin tone.
Metals to pair with cool skin
Bright and silver-toned metals, like platinum, silver, and white gold, look best with cool skin, complementing the skin’s blue undertones. Silver-toned metals offer an attractive, brightening effect on cool-toned skin.
Additionally, natural diamonds look fantastic on cool skin, especially in combination with silver-toned metals, which help keep the diamond looking icy and sparkling. If you're looking for coloured gemstones for cool-toned skin, consider aquamarine, amethyst, or sapphires.
Rose-toned gold and yellow gold can look great on cool skin with yellowish undertones, while platinum and white-gold tones look fabulous on darker complexions.
Metals to avoid with cool skin
The pinkish tones of rose gold can draw out the purplish undertones of cool-toned skin. This can be unflattering for paler complexions, which may appear a little red in contrast to rose-toned gold.
Which metal tones work well for warm skin?
Yellow- and rose-toned golds complement warm skin tones beautifully, offering a pink hue that brightens up a yellow-toned complexion.
Coloured gemstones look fantastic on warm skin. Consider emeralds, rubies, and yellow sapphires. Of course, those come at a cost, so when selecting pieces from Tipperary’s fabulous Irish jewellery collection, consider greens, reds, and yellows in the gemstone for a touch of affordable luxury.
Metal tones to avoid for warm skin
While silver-tones can look great on warm skin, they can slightly cool down the naturally warm tones of warmer skin types. If you’re uncertain, observe the jewellery pieces your loved one already wears.
Which metal tones work with neutral skin tones?
People with neutral skin tones are the lucky ones because they can get away with any metal tone. From the cool silvery platinums to the warm rose golds, their skin will comfortably accommodate them all.
Choosing the right jewellery for your face shape
The general rule for selecting the most appropriate women’s jewellery is to contrast one’s natural features.
Let’s break this down into the following face shapes: round, oval, square, heart-shaped, and long/oblong.
The best jewellery for round faces
Choose jewellery that adds length and definition to complement a round-shaped face.
Earrings: Long, angular dangle or drop earrings help form a vertical line, which slims a round face.
Necklaces: Long pendant necklaces or layered designs can provide length, which helps elongate the face.
Avoid: Short or wide necklaces, as well as chokers. These can over-emphasise facial roundness.
The best jewellery for oval faces
If you have an oval face, you're in luck: most styles will suit you. The goal is to provide symmetry and balance.
Earrings: Most styles will suit, particularly studs, hoops, and drop earrings.
Necklaces: Short chokers or long pendants work well, although most styles will complement an oval face.
The best jewellery for square faces
Aim to soften the strong angles of a square face, while creating a softer, more feminine look.
Earrings: Rounded designs, such as circular studs and hoops, help balance strong jawlines.
Necklaces: Aim for long and curved pendants or V-shaped necklaces to soften the features.
Avoid: Square-shaped or angular earrings that can add additional hard lines to the face.
The best jewellery for heart-shaped faces
Heart-shaped faces are narrow at the chin and broad at the forehead, so choose jewellery that offers additional width at the chin, which helps balance the forehead.
Earrings: Drop or chandelier earrings work perfectly, while triangular danglers with width at the bottom are excellent choices.
Necklaces: V-shaped and layered designs bring additional facial balance.
Avoid: Heavy or chunky designs worn in close proximity to the chin.
The best jewellery for long/oblong faces
Long faces offer strong, striking features, so choose jewellery that adds facial width and proportion.
Earrings: Wide styles and cluster designs provide width. Wide studs are also beneficial.
Necklaces: Choker and collar necklaces provide width, which helps balance facial length.
Avoid: Long necklaces or earrings that emphasise facial length.
