Dressing is an art
Jewellery can be chosen depending on one’s personality, unique style, or taste. However, for some people finding the right pieces of jewellery can be cumbersome. Someone once said, “Just like clothing, jewellery needs to be right fit.” Yeah, right, because it’s personal. Here are some hints to help you select jewellery according to your style, body type and age. After all, dressing is an art and you are never fully clothed without your jewellery.
Ring choice
People with wide fingers can go for medium to thick bands. Small, round, oval and heart shaped stones work perfectly fine on small hands. If you have small hands, you can even afford to get small rings because they will still look visible on the hand. There are men and some ladies who usually struggle with big knuckles. People with big knuckles can consider the thicker bands which divert attention from the finger to the ring. This is the art of embracing your shape, even if it is just your fingers. Check out our collection of rings for fingers of all shapes and sizes.

Type of outfit
Type of outfit can be a deciding factor for jewellery to be worn. Rings can be worn every day and are suitable for any outfit unless of course you are wearing gloves and they make you feel uncomfortable.The first rule of thumb is to pair the jewellery according to the neckline of your outfit. For T shirts/plain blouses/tops, gold or silver neck chains can create interest to your outfit and add some sparkle. There is nowhere where the art of dressing comes out more than in the clothes you wear. Read more on how to pair your outfit with your bling here.
