Fashion Jewelry Necklaces for All Body Shapes

Fashion jewelry necklaces emphasize a woman’s face, neck, bust, and waist. There are certain guidelines in wearing fashion jewelry necklaces especially if you do not want these features highlighted. For example, full-figured women should invest in long necklaces to draw the eyes downward, thus creating an illusion of taller height. With longer necklaces, round and square faces are lengthened too. Larger embellishments, such as gemstones and beads, instead of smaller delicate pieces favor towards larger women. On the other hand, fashion jewelry necklaces adorned with smaller-sized beads and chokers favor towards taller women because they help minimize height.

Here are the five basic body shapes to guide women through fashion jewelry necklaces selection:

1. Pear – Women who are pear-shaped often have sloping shoulders, a smaller bustline and waist while having fuller hips, butt, and thighs. The trick to fashion jewelry necklace selection for pear-shaped women is to invest in necklaces that draw attention away from the lower half of the body while giving the appearance of a fuller bust line. Chunky necklaces and those that are colorful and bright are perfect necklaces that will draw the eyes upward, accentuating the top half of the body instead of the lower half.


2. Apple – Apple-shaped women have full faces, broad shoulders, full bust-line, a slightly undefined waistline, and a flat bottom. Women who are apple-shaped should wear necklaces that draw away attention from the mid-section and the neck because apple-shaped women usually have thick, short, and broad necks. This means staying away from chokers and short necklaces and instead accessorizing with double or multi-layered beaded necklaces that are available in longer lengths.
3. Hourglass – Women strive to have this figure – curvy with broad shoulders, defined waist, and full hips and thighs, essentially the perfect shape. Accentuate the curves by drawing attention to the waistline with long necklaces that lengthen the torso. Any fashion jewelry necklace will actually work well for the hourglass because they are already well-balanced and proportioned.
4. Inverted Triangle – Strong shoulders with a bustline wider than the bottom half of the body, this shape is often seen in runway models. For women having the inverted triangle shape, accessorize with necklaces that vertically slim down the chest.
5. Rectangle – Common among athletic women, the rectangular shape features bust and hips with approximately the same width while having little definition of the waistline. With a thick neck and well-proportioned legs and arms, nothing will look bad on them. Simply select necklaces that compliment the complexion of the wearer.
