We all love to be known for something which is uniquely us, right? Like that extra glaze of chocolate on your cupcakes makes others recognize that it was baked by you. Or when there is a sweet smell of flowers wafting in the office, and your colleagues immediately get to know that you must’ve bought flowers to decorate your desk. You are recognized by what you do and what you are. Your unique habits, style, and idiosyncrasies help others distinguish you from the rest. However, according to us, there is no better way to stand out and make yourself seen than owning or wearing that one piece of signature jewelry.
Searching for that perfect piece of jewelry isn’t easy. With so many baubles going in and out of style in the jewelry world, it can get very tough to zero in on that one signature piece that aptly captures your essence. But, there’s a way to find that perfect jewelry match, and here are all the tips that you need to help you do it. Read on to find out more.
1. Check How Often You Want To Wear It
A signature piece of jewelry is like your hero piece. Always consider how often you plan on wearing it while selecting or designing it. If it is something that you will only wear only to parties or weddings, then it can’t be called a signature piece. A signature piece is something that you wear every day, irrespective of the time or the place.
Jewelry is uniquely personal; it conveys your personal style and personality in a succinct manner. Therefore, keep in mind your personality while choosing it. Are you more bold and outgoing, or understated and introverted? Characterize your signature piece keeping in mind your own personal style so that you feel comfortable flaunting it every day.
2. Make Sure You Are Comfortable With Its Style
Since you will be wearing this every day, you need to be very careful while selecting its style. The piece needs to be versatile in nature, yet it shouldn’t look awkward or out of place when worn. Opt for a style that speaks for you irrespective of the occasion on which it’s worn. It needs to convey the message that it’s uniquely you.
3. Choose Your Precious Metal Carefully
Now that you’ve already proceeded with the first two steps, it’s time for you to pick the base of your signature jewelry, i.e its metal. Firstly, make note of details such as which type of metal suits you the best or if there’s one that you’re allergic to. Also, keep in mind your skin tone while choosing the metal. You don’t want to put on the wrong kind of glittering metal on yourself that makes you look bizarre, do you?
4. Pick Your Favorite Color
All of us have a favorite color, right? Wearing that color compliments our skin, makes us look radiant. If you haven’t found your favorite color yet, categorize your complexion according to its undertone, whether it is warm, neutral or cool. Now go for a color that perfectly goes with that undertone. Another way of finding out which colored metal or stone suits you best is by observing the color of your eye and seeing what goes with it.
5. It Should Inspire You
We’ve already mentioned in the beginning that your jewelry must represent your personality. Every day, when you look at yourself in the mirror wearing it, it needs to give you the confidence to take on whatever the day has in store for you.
As such, you could also tweak heirloom jewelry or other such pieces that hold special significance for you and wear them. For example, a friend of ours wears her grandfather’s pendant as her signature jewelry by teaming it up with her favorite rose gold chain. Your signature jewelry should be able to pass on your story to the future generations; such should be its design, meaning, and purpose. Also, you can always research the cyberspace and look for a design that inspires you.
6. Wear It Fearlessly
You will be wearing it every single day of your life. Therefore, wear it in a fearless manner. You can repeat your outfits, but you can’t wear two signature pieces of jewelry, otherwise, the entire purpose of it is lost. Feel like a style icon by flaunting your signature piece of jewelry.
7. Take Care Of It
Jewelry care is as important as the jewelry itself. For general maintenance, we recommend cleaning it with soapy water using an earbud. If it’s fine jewelry, then we suggest you check the claws and clasps of the piece every 6 months to make sure there is no wear and tear. And always ask your jeweler to provide you with complete instructions for taking care of it.
Now, go forth and show off your bling to the world with panache and aplomb. And remember to dress in a manner that complements your bling. Your fashion could draw attention to your jewelry as well. Do you wear a signature piece? What’s special about it? Let us know in the comments below.
