A well-chosen piece of jewelry can make your look complete, unique and memorable. How to choose jewelry that will be in harmony with your physical characteristics and clothing?

Short wide neck

The main task is to visually lengthen the neck. Long beads, pendants on a chain, necklaces that would be located 5 cm or more below the collarbone, and V-shaped jewelry will help you with this. One of the successful options would be a decoration with small links at the base of the neck and larger ones closer to the bottom. Try to avoid elements that are too large or round, short decorations, or stand-up decorations. They grow larger and shorten the neck. Small details are preferable.

Long thin neck

Here it's the other way around. Short beads, collars, chokers, stand-up jewelry, necklaces close to the neck. Beads or chains in several rows look great, the first row of which is very close to the neck. It is not recommended to wear long beads, pendants on a chain, or V-shaped jewelry if you have a very long neck. Such decorations will only enhance the effect.

General Constitution

It is best to choose jewelry in proportion to the size of the bone and your height.

Small jewelry suits petite women more. Statement necklaces are acceptable, but make sure they don't make you look like you're in chains or give the impression that you're bending under their weight.

Small pendants and other small jewelry can go unnoticed on a tall woman and increase the feeling of bulk on larger women.

Bust size

Large breasts- large elegant jewelry above the chest line will look great. The necklace should have flat parts so as not to add unnecessary volume. Beads, on the contrary, can be voluminous and located either above the chest or below, for example, beads to the waist. Very short jewelry and small pendants are not your option.

Small breasts- jewelry with a lot of bright details will distract attention and will not emphasize the size of the bust. Small pendants will look very delicate.

Decoration length

30-34 cm, Collar- a collar, collar, decoration that tightly clasps the neck or consists of several threads, where the top one is adjacent to the neck.

40 cm, Choker, located near the neck, but does not tighten it. Looks great with all types of necklines.

43-48 cm, Princess, is located on the collarbone and is ideal for necklaces and pendants.

51-61 cm, Matine. Those that are located below the collarbones (51 cm) are ideal for medallions and pendants; the longer ones already reach the chest. Matine is a beautiful length of beads and chains. The length of the decoration and the neckline should not be the same.

71-86 cm, Opera, jewelry located below the chest but above the waist. They can be wrapped around the neck to create a shorter layered necklace. Helps lengthen your figure.

114 cm +, Rope, Lariat, this decoration can be worn either full length or wrapped around the neck, symmetrically or not.

Height

For complete harmony of proportions, it is advisable to choose the length of the decoration according to your height.

< 165 см - jewelry up to 50cm long is more suitable. To elongate your figure, pair a necklace with a v-neck.
165-173 cm- can choose any length of decoration.
173 + cm- It is better to avoid wearing too short necklaces.

Age

For children It is better to wear shorter jewelry and with strong weaving, because... they may fiddle with them or tear them during play.

For girls Thin, short chains are more suitable, emphasizing the beauty of young skin.

Older women long, elegant jewelry or choker necklaces (if you have a slender neck), which help hide age-related changes.

Pendant + Chain

The pendant should not be heavier than the chain, otherwise it will break over time. The best weight ratio is 1:1. The pendant can be a maximum of two times lighter than the chain, but make sure that it looks harmonious in terms of size.
The longer the chain, the larger the pendant is appropriate due to its location on the body.

40-45 cm ideal for small pendants
50-55 cm- for medium-large pendants
60 + cm- for large pendants and crosses.

Style

I prefer not to wear ready-made sets and choose jewelry to pair myself. Whatever you choose, don't go overboard with the amount of decoration. You should not wear 3 or more elements of one set together. Do not place active products nearby. If you have active earrings, wear them with a bracelet or ring; if you have an elegant bracelet, do not wear a ring with it, earrings or a necklace are better. Small, unobtrusive decorations can be placed in any pair.

You can wear several necklaces together, but then make sure that they are made of the same metal, the decor is the same color, or different colors harmoniously combine with the outfit. You can read all about how to combine accent jewelry with clothes

The decoration, which has been modified over several centuries, is at the peak of popularity at the beginning of the 21st century. Nowadays, a choker around the neck is a very successful investment in a modern wardrobe. It is only important to choose the right accessory and know what to combine it with.

What is this taco e

A neck choker is a decoration that tightly covers a woman’s neck. Cute ribbons appeared several centuries ago. A thin necklace can be seen in laconic images of English princesses, beauties of the Rococo era and even graceful ballerinas in paintings Edgar Degas.

The last popularity of the choker was recorded in the late 1990s. It crossed over into pop culture at the time. He could be seen on Britney Spears and soloists of the group Spice Girls. At that time, all the little fashionistas in the world really liked woven jewelry made from fishing line, which they happily wore.

In 2015, ribbons returned to the catwalk and then to all fashionistas. At first these were simple black versions. But the girls soon got bored with it, because everyone around them wore them. In the new year 2018, the ribbons began to be modified.

Rough grunge chokers were transformed into more feminine lace jewelry with pendants. Many Hollywood stars add this stylish touch to their wardrobe: Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Kim Kardashian and many others.

You can combine several necklaces. It is recommended to add 2-3 chains of different lengths, leather laces or pendants to the choker.

Secrets of specialists

Chokers suit everyone. A correctly selected piece of jewelry will look good on any girl. It is important to maintain balance and take into account the shape of the face and the length of the neck. A few rules to follow when choosing:

1. The accessory is best worn on a bare neck.
2. Thin ribbons highlight wrinkles. Girls with problem skin (scars, cicatrices) are better off choosing camouflage and wide models.
3. Fashionistas with a short neck will suit the simplest jewelry in beige shades without unnecessary additional accessories.
4. The best option for curvy women is a black choker with a tassel or an elongated pendant.
5. For girls with a round face, an open necklace with massive beads at the end is suitable. It elongates the face and makes the neck thinner.
6. The ideal neckline for clothes is V-shaped. Decoration in such an outfit reduces the boldness of the deep neckline and emphasizes the modernity of the image.
7. The thinner the choker, the less it shortens the neck.
8. Wide ribbons look better with open shoulders.
9. You should not combine it with heavy earrings.
