• Customized jewelry is unique
• Such jewelry is also expensive

It therefore goes to show that you need to spend your money right when shopping for hand-made customizables in the world of jewelry, so you can purchase the best possible piece that represents you on you.

Let’s start with skin tone… This is a simple trick to learn. Gemstones are where you most need to set your attention. While gold is, well, gold, gemstones take on varied hues. This makes it possible for you to play with colors and add a little fun to your shopping spree.

• Pale or fair skintone: White gemstones bring out a ‘moon goddess’ appeal, but bright colors pack a stronger punch to the senses. Customized jewelry in this case can suit your personality. If you’re young and vibrant, go for the bright ones. If you’re older and wiser, go for the mild ones.
• Brown skintone: Calm colors display sensibility and an eye for hues that don’t clash with each other let alone your skin color. Tanned or brown skin is best enhanced with colors like shallow-water blues, serene yellows, sunset oranges and ashy grays.
• Dark skintone: White is one of the best colors for dark skins because of how beautifully they contrast it. Red is yet another bold choice in this regard. A cool azure blue also works marvels on the eye for dark skins.

Of course, there’s NO hard and fast rule as to who should shop for what gemstones. It is possible for black to suit a dark skintone or red a fair one. You can always experiment and find the perfect combination of gemstone colors and jewelry designs (shape, contour, flow, dangle, swish) so you stand out in any crowd.

Moving on to face shape… This is slightly trickier. You’ll be surprised how few people really remember the shape of their own face without having to look in the mirror. It’s only natural, so don’t beat yourself about it. What you need to pay attention to while shopping for customized jewelry is to study the way it compliments your face shape.
• Oval
• Thin
• Round
• Pear
• Square
• Diamond
• Rectangle
• Heart
• Oblong

These are but some of the many face shapes out there. General rule of thumb says long jewelry suits long faces while stouter pieces go well with rounder faces. Here again there are exceptions. Some round-faced women can STILL put on nice shoulder length dangler earrings and look brilliant while women with thinner faces can don a thick round stud on each earlobe and look splendid. It depends on the individual, which is why we said ‘study’ your face shape and how well it compliments that jewelry item you’re looking to purchase.
Let’s check out something fun and much simpler… Hair colors play a crucial role in your personal sense of style. Indian women are most comfortable with black, burgundy and sunset shades. Some others go for the old henna technique that renders any white hair a beautiful silken orange. Then there are some women who can easily pull off chestnut, brown (any shade, from light to deep) and hazel, each color distinct and sensual.

• Diamonds and sapphires stand outstandingly well against black hair
• Rubies, jade, emeralds, and tourmalines go superbly well with chestnut and brown hair
• Onyx, amber and black opals sit exceedingly well against hazel
• Coral and quartz are great for burgundy.

Here as well mixing and matching will take you a long way. There are so many diverse possibilities that one blog like this can’t handle the list. Try it out, play and experiment, because for every hair color there is the chance for more than ten different gemstones to suit it.
