Choosing Jewellery to Suit You

The perfect piece of jewellery adds the finishing touches to your outfit, reflecting your own personal style, but with so many glittering options it can be difficult to find the piece for you.

A beautiful piece of jewellery is the exclamation point of your look and an important part of creating personal style – so what should you think about?

What gold is right for you?

The gold that you choose forms the base of the piece and will dictate its look. It frames the jewellery and is a great starting point. You could take into account factors like your skin-tone, or just break it down into your own personal preference.

WHITE GOLD: White gold is one of the most popular choices at the moment. The ‘white’ colour matches the clear colour of diamonds and really helps them to sparkle. It’s also a more modern metal and the beautiful white glow really does shine, It’s a popular and contemporary choice and if you’re really not sure what you want this is probably the option to start with.

YELLOW GOLD: Yellow gold is the most traditional of the metals. The timeless and classic look has stood the test of time and in recent years it has definitely seen a bit of a revival. The luxurious glow of the much-loved metal has an indulgent feel to it and is perfect if you prefer warmer-tones.

ROSE GOLD: Rose gold has a subtle pink hue. The gentle blush has become a chic and stylish choice that’s a little more unique. Fashionistas all-over have celebrated the trend and the muted colour has become increasingly popular. The soft romantic shade is ideal if you’re looking for a piece of jewellery that has a delicate and feminine touch.

Diamonds or coloured stones?
