First Impressions – What Your Jewelry Tells Others

Whether you like it or not, you build an impression every time you meet up with someone new or see an existing friend.  Studies show that in the first 10 seconds, an opinion is formed based on your look.  Your jewelry and what it exposes about your individuality is part of that impression.  If you want to give a certain image, either personally or professionally, using your jewelry is a very effectual way to do it. Here are several suggestions on how you can start:

Get Noticed

 

Spend a bit and buy yourself a really amazing piece of jewelry.  For example, a custom piece of handcrafted jewelry designed by an artisan will really make you stand out.  With a unique piece of art jewelry, you will be astonished at how often you get an admiring comment and stand out from the rest of the crowd.  Make sure to choose the right design to enhance your personality.  Various designs evoke certain personalities.  Dazzlingly colored designs usually evoke a enjoyable, extroverted, affectionate personality; Fashionably designed jewelry usually evokes an artsy personality; Ethnic jewelry usually evokes a bohemian or free spirit personality.

Color harmonize your jewelry to your outfit whenever possible by buying matching sets of jewelry in a variety of colors.  Having matching sets guarantees you will always have coordinated well put together outfit.  A synchronized outfit suggests a well prepared, thorough, and professional person with great taste and a flair for fashion.  Having a blend of nicely coordinated 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. 

So, you don’t think that statement jewelry is essential?  Statement jewelry is a part of you that directs your inner style, your thoughts, actions, wishes, place in life, profession and status.  It makes you feel good about yourself when you admire it in the mirror.  Every time you look at your jewelry, it gives you a glow inside when you recall where you bought it or why you have it.  Fine handmade jewelry makes a affirmative statement about you every time you wear it, and whenever you buy or receive something new, it’s a tribute of that moment in your life.
