Do You Know These When Choosing fashion jewelry
Attention! A few hints and tips as follow to help you when choosing fashion jewelry for yourself, or a friend or lover.
1. RING JEWELRY SIZES
UK rings are sized alphabetically. A woman with a very slim ‘Fashion Rings Jewelry‘ finger might be H, I or J; a medium-sized finger would be K, L or M; and a larger finger would be N, O or P. If you are buying a dress ring, many women will wear that on their middle finger, which will usually be a good two sizes larger than their ring finger.
Men’s rings are sized in the same way, but typically start further down the alphabet, with a slim finger being an S or T; a medium size being U or V; and a large size being W to Z. If a man has particularly large fingers, or wants to wear a ring on his thumb, sizes Z +1, +2, +3 are also available, but as these are ‘non-standard’ sizes, not all rings will be available in these sizes, so it is important to check first.
Many rings can be resized to fit, with a change of up to 3 sizes being possible, either larger or smaller. However, some dress rings or ornately-decorated rings will not be possible to resize, and some metals – such as titanium – cannot easily be resized, so it is important to get the size right if you can.
US and European Ring Sizes
Some of our designers work in US or European sizes, so we will match the nearest UK equivalent. These are less precise than UK sizes, so there is not an exact match for every UK size. e.g. SWATCH rings are sized in US sizes; Christian Lacroix, Kenzo and Morelatto are in European sizes; while designers such as Lola Rose and Monica Vinader simply go with ’small’, ‘medium’ and ‘large’.v US size conversions
5 = UK size J
6 = UK size L
7 = UK size N and 1/2
8 = UK size P and 1/2
9 = UK size R and 1/2
European size conversions
50 = UK size J and 1/2
52 = UK size L and 1/2v 54 = UK size N
56 = UK size O and 1/2
58 =Uk size Q
2. BIRTHSTONES
If you want to buy a piece of jewelry with some meaning, choosing a piece which features someone’s birthstone is a thoughtful thing to do. Each month has a stone associated with it:
January = Garnet
February = Amethyst
March = Aquamarine
April = Diamond
May = Emerald
June = Pearl
July = Ruby
August = Peridot
September = Sapphire
October = Pink Tourmaline or Opal
November = Citrine or Yellow Topaz
December = Turquoise
3. ANNIVERSARIES
For a special anniversary, it is lovely to choose a piece of jewelry which represents that anniversary. This gives it special meaning and shows that you are aware of how many years it has been. Here are the special ones:
1st Anniversary = Paper
5th Anniversary = Wood
10th Anniversary = Tin or Aluminium
15th Anniversary = Crystalv 25th Anniversary = Silver
30th Anniversary = Pearl
35th Anniversary = Coral or Jade
40th Anniversary = Ruby
45th Anniversary = Sapphire
50th Anniversary = Gold
55th Anniversary = Emerald
60th Anniversary = Diamond
4. COLOURS
Choosing costume jewelry for someone else can seem difficult at first. However, there are some general principles which can help. Colour is one of the key things to consider first.
If you are buying wholesale jewelry in a precious metal – is he or she a yellow gold or white gold person? Do they like white metals (white gold, platinum, silver, stainless steel), or do they prefer the warmth of yellow gold, copper or bronze? Look at other jewelry that they wear – a wedding or engagement ring, pendant or signet ring. Have they mentioned a preference? Look at their watch: people often choose their preferred colour of metal for their watch, as it is something they will wear every day. Do they own a ‘dress watch’ for special occasions? If so, this may be a different colour to their everyday watch, which suggest that this is their preferred colour for dressing up.
If you can’t spot an obvious preference, look at their colouring – their hair colour and skintone. Blondes often suit yellow gold more, as its warm tones match their hair; and exotic or darker skintones also look good with yellow gold against them.
If you are choosing bolder colours – of semi-precious or glass jewelry, for example – take clues from the colours of clothes they wear, as well as their skin tone and hair. Black can look too harsh on pale-skinned people and blondes, while brown looks warm and lovely against pale skin. The light pink of Rose Quartz can get lost against pale skin, but looks fantastic on tanned or darker skins. Green stones look amazing on redheads and brunettes. Red can be a difficult colour – sometimes too vivid for redheads and ash blondes, but great for brunettes or golden/yellow blonde.
5. CHOOSING DIAMONDS
6. PRECIOUS METALS
7. CHAIN LENGTH
Traditionally, women’s pendants commonly came on 16″ or 18″ chains. If a pendant is intended to be for everyday wear – with an open-necked shirt, for example – then 16″ is usually fine; if it is for evening wear, with a lower cut neckline, 18″ tends to be better. A petite or shorter woman is likely to suit 16″, while a taller or larger woman may require 18″. Most designers will swap the chain if it is too short or too long.
Much contemporary jewelry and fashion jewelry does not tend to stick to these lengths, however. Very long necklaces are fashionable, worn multi-layered and over-long; and pendants on suede or leather cords which can be tied at various lengths are increasingly popular.

Craft Cord Corral: Bead Stringing Projects for Everyone $1.99 New and innovative bead stringing projects that utilize craft cord and a variety of large-hole beads, are presented in this exciting new book.

When these projects are embellished with conchos, feathers and other finery, they represent an entirely new look in jewelry and home decorative items.The Craft Cord Corral concept uses readily available materials and basic craft techniques. Beginners can easily master this concept, yet the complexity of the designs and professional-looking results make it attractive to more experienced crafters as well.
