First Impressions – What Your Jewelry Tells Others

Whether you like it or not, you formulate an impression every time you greet someone new or see an existing friend.  Research shows  that in the first 10 seconds, an opinion is formed based on your appearance.  Your jewelry and what it brings to light about your personality is part of that impression.  If you want to deliver a certain vision, either individually or professionally, using your jewelry is a very successful way to do it.

Here are some helpful tips to get you started:

Get Noticed Splurge and amaze yourself something really fabulous.  For instance, a custom piece of handcrafted jewelry designed by an artiste will really make you stand out.  You will be shocked at how frequently you will be complimented and how it will really set you apart from the crowd.  Picking out a particular design will also flatter your personality.  Distinctive designs enhance certain personalities.  Brightly colored designs usually evoke a fun, extroverted, affectionate personality; Contemporary designed jewelry usually evokes an artsy personality; Ethnic jewelry usually evokes a bohemian or free spirit personality.

Pull Together Colors Color synchronize your jewelry to your outfit whenever possible by purchasing matching sets of jewelry in an array of colors.  Having matching sets guarantees you will always have coordinated well put together outfit.  A harmonized outfit expresses a well prepared, thorough, and professional person with great taste and a knack for fashion.  Having a blend of nicely synchronized colors does not mean that your jewelry has to be the same color as your outfit, but it does have to be part of a synchronized set of colors that blend nicely together. Never thought jewelry was that important?  Statement jewelry is a part of you that directs your internal style, your feelings, actions, longings, place in life, vocation and status.  It makes you feel great about yourself when you marvel at it in the mirror.  Every time you look at your jewelry, it gives you exhilaration inside when you hark back to where you acquired it or why you have it.  Custom handcrafted jewelry makes a positive statement about you every time you wear it, and each time you accept or collect something new, it is a tribute of that moment in your life.
