Sit Back and Learn a Little about Jewellery Industry

Why buy from iDo Jewellery?

Do you REALLY know what goes on behind the scenes when it comes to jewellery? Other than teaching you all the 4 C's from most jewellers. Do you know exactly that your every penny paid worthwhile? Those well known jewellery outlets definately will not tell you, "this is how we dig your money outta your pocket!"

Let's face it, for higher end expensive diamond jewellery items, they are all well known.

A Rude Awakening

I personally encountered quite a number of customers who came to me and ask "Can you do this Cart**r Leopard Pendant for me with much lower price? ", " Can you do Louis Vuit*** Fleur Ring, i can't pay for their price."

After production, it came out so nice which you can't tell the difference. But you can definately tell that our price is 3 times lower than what you get from the so called "Well Known" outlets. My clients jaw dropped.

Jewellery outlets in malls become corporate giants, and don’t cater to the customer. They don’t care how much you spend, as long as they get your money. They’re not selling jewelry, they’re selling their name. You are just paying for their expensive TV , Newspaper, Magazine commercials, their lavishly decorated stores and displays, their rent, their electric bills, their huge overhead, their staffs salary, their taxes, their cleaner who cleans the stores and many more.

I am not here to compete with any giant jewellery outlets. What we ARE trying to do is make people aware that they have a choice when they’re looking to buy beautiful fine jewelry that will last forever.

What do we specialise in?

We specialize in fine jewelry for the every day person, people who want to look good without spending a fortune. The savvy consumer knows what they’re looking for - quality and savings. We’re confident that we can deliver exactly that. Read our comments and see all the customer pictures, THEY ARE HAPPY WITH OUR SERVICES AND HONESTY.

REMEMBER, don't pay for names but for qualities.

Earring Collection

Hairstyle Vs Earring

There's nothing that gives your face a quicker lift than a great pair of earrings. If you have long, medium, or short hair, do pay attention to your earrings. As always, do your homework, and know your own facial shape, and what hair styles look good on you.
I have a section about your facial shape and jewellery in this blog.

Lady with SHORT HAIR:
If you have a short hair, earrings are every bit as important as the clothing you put on your body. Your earlobes are exposed for all the world to see and you want them to be appropriately dressed. When you choose an outfit to put on in the morning, take as much care selecting your earrings as you do your top or shoes. Short haired people can appear a bit “naked” without a little ear adornment.

Let Go of Old Fashion Dictates!

Dismiss the idea that you need to wear small earrings if you have shorter hair. You can wear all types of earrings with short hair from subtle gemstone post earrings to long, sparkly dangles. It really all depends on your mood, the occasion, and your outfit. You're lucky! A long dangle style can look quite dramatic when worn with an elegant dress to a party. By keeping the rest of your jewelry and outfit simple, even dramatic earrings won't look overdone.Wearing a fashionable pair of earrings takes on even greater importance if you happen to have short hair. Have the widest range of earring selection. From the simplest diamond stud, to the most outrageous hoops, women with short hair can get away with just about any style. Just remember to take the rest of your outfit into consideration before selecting a style. If your outfit is complicated or especially flashy, choose a simpler earring style. You’ll look your best when you don’t have multiple elements competing for attention.

Hoop Earring

Button Earring

Long Dangle Earring

Lady with MEDIUM LENGTH HAIR:
If your hair is medium-length, you will want to exercise caution in selecting hoop-style earrings. This style of earring tends to add weight and curves to your face, so those with round faces will want to be especially selective. If you choose to wear hoop earrings, select styles that have an oval shape and are crafted from a light material.


Lady with LONG HAIR:
Girls with long hair, you can really show off your ears with style and panache. There's no hiding those earlobes behind a mop of stringing hair or getting your earrings caught in the hairbrush as you style your long hair. You have the advantage of being able to show the world what a great earring collection you have. Choosing hoops that come in square or rectangular styles is another way to add dimension to round faces paired with long hair.

Long Dangle Earring

Also important to consider is the balance between your earrings and other jewelry. Too much jewelry can look gaudy, but too little can appear casual and uninspired. If you plan on wearing one piece of big, highly distinctive jewelry, forgo wearing any other jewelry. For instance, if you’re wearing large, flashy earrings then skip wearing a necklace and bracelet. If your necklace is a particularly bold piece, leave your ears bare. Check yourself in a mirror when you are done accessorizing and make sure that jewelry pieces do not appear too cluttered or chaotic.

Earrings can play a large role in appearance. They can draw attention to your face or your hair, or they can draw attention away from less desirable aspects that you want to disguise. When accessorizing, think about how the different elements of your appearance impact other aspects of your look. Consider how you want to look and the message you want to convey with your appearance. Check your look in a full-length mirror to ensure you’ve achieved your desired style goal.

Solitaire Diamond Ring

Despite the many designs, settings and styles available, diamond solitaire engagement rings remain bride-to-best most timeless and popular choice. While it may seem deceptively simple, a diamond solitaire can still be a unique ring designed to suite any tastes!

What is Diamond Solitaire Ring?

Solitaire means One. This means the ring has one simple diamond, without side stones, accent stones, or other gem embellishments. Solitaire rings need not be dull or plain, however, and for many women, the simple elegance of a single, sparkling stone is the ultimate symbol of the single love that two people share.

RS 074

RS 081

RS 094

How big should your Diamond be?
Probably you may seem that in order to have a ring using a single diamond, the stone must be larger than average. Not to worry! There are many alternatives to choosing a larger stone, however, that highlight the characteristics of the ring rather than the sheer size of the diamond.

Band Size:

A smaller stone paired with a thinner band helps emphasize the diamond and produces a delicate solitaire ring, perfect for slender fingers.

RS 095

The band can be 2 tones or etched to add intricacy and depth, or it can be given an unusual shape such as a wave or curve that draws attention to the ring as a whole rather than just the diamond.

RS 096



RS 097

RS 100

Shapes of Solitaires:

While the most popular shape is the round, there are many other diamond shapes that can create a beautiful ring without additional stones. Marquise, pear, emerald, and oval-shaped stones all elongate the diamond and appear larger than they may be. A single heart or trillium-shaped stone is distinctive and eye-catching for its uniqueness, minimizing the importance of the stone’s size while the eye focuses on the shape.

RS 109

(Bezel Setting)

RS 112

There are many choices for engagement ring settings, and while a solitaire ring is by definition excluded from the multiple-setting category, it is not limited to commonplace options. The most popular is the prong setting, but the size and number of the prongs can vary to highlight the best features of the stone. Bezel, flush, tension, and arched settings are all appropriate choices. Because there is only one stone, however, channel settings are not recommended as they will obscure the best qualities of the diamond.

RS 113

(Tension Setting)

Solitaire Quality:

The focus of diamond solitaire rings, however, is one brilliant gem. Therefore, you have to familiarise with the 4C's (Carat, Cut, Color and Cutting).

I am Awarded in International Jewellery Design Competiton!

This is one of the 5 designs i sent to Hong Kong competing in The Fifth South Sea Pearl International Jewellery Design Competition. The main theme is using South Sea Pearl, which is the most expensive pearl range existed. It was my first time participating in competition like that and i was selected into TOP 10 Internationally! OMG! I was freaking happy at that time when i received the fax, " We are please to inform you that you are selected into the finalist." My heart beat stopped for a few second and a strong adrenaline rush through my spine, before i could get out from the delightful surprise!

However, in order to get to the Top 3. All the finalists have to transform the design on that paper into a real actual piece! How on earth can i do that when i just graduate from the designing course? I am officially "BROKE" that time~ Luckily i was lucky enough to have met some real nice jewellery manufacturer who offered to sponsor the entire piece. Again! Lucky~ Phew...

*Psst* I was not a pro yet that time, not knowing how much it costs for what i have designed. (But not to worry, I am a PRO knowing my job scope very well now). Poor sponsorer has to "dig" around RM 10K to finish it up using roughly 500 pieces of diamonds and 3 Huge South Sea Pearls! LMAO

TADA! Finally it is done! But i don't have my pearl necklace with me to make it Perfect. I was hypnotized by the beauty of my own design. Sorry to brag about it, but i really was in love with it. Like totally~ =p

Time to bit goodbye to my lovely pendant, it is time to send it to Hong Kong for final judgement. After few months, sadly i do not get into Top 3. But i am happy enough to be recognised as Top 10 International Designer for that year 2005 out of thousands of other designers.

Oo Poh Ling, that is absolutely right! It is ME! My recognition certificate. But what i really wanted was a scholarship to further my study! Oh well, better luck next time in the next 2 years.

Later on my baby pendant came back to me, my sponsorer manage to sell it off with RM 25K to a Datin in Singapore! But i did not get a penny... Sigh Big Big Time ~

Body Shape and Jewellery

I always design any jewellery according to your personal statement of style. Another wonderful fact is that there is jewelry to fit every taste and every budget.

There are no firm rules of right or wrong jewellery choices. However, just as you consider your personal features and build when choosing clothing fashions, you might also do so when you're selecting jewelry.

I am writing this blog is not to set down rules, but to offer general guidelines for selecting jewelry that flatters you! Whenever you wear it, you will be proud to flaunt it to everybody!

Height and bone structure Remember that the most important rule for buying jewelry is to buy what you like because its beauty will last a lifetime.

The first and most important factor for you to consider is your overall body size and shape. To help you apply the fashion guidelines to your specific type, i have divided height into 3 separate categories, with discussions of pertinent bone structure. For your purposes, simply refer to the category in which your height is included.
Petite (Under 5'4")
Necklaces - Petite women best wear collar-length or longer necklaces. Styles with "V" shapes and ones that fall below the breast but above the waist elongate the figure.

Bracelets-Bangles flatter petite women . Several narrow ones are more flattering than one wide one because they are more in proportion to the petite's overall size.

Earrings-Concentrate on styles that sweep upward, pulling the viewer's eye up. Full-figured petites look especially well in sharp geometric shapes.

Average (5'4"- 5'7")
Necklaces-The average-height woman can wear necklaces of any length unless she is full-figured. In that case, she should avoid necklaces which rest on the breast line.

Bracelets-Wide bracelets are more in proportion to the average-height woman than very narrow ones.

Earrings - Earring choices are unlimited and should be considered in connection with face shape and, of course, hair styles. Feel free to select exciting geometric shapes such as triangles, squares and ovals.

Tall (Over 5'7")
Necklaces-Almost any length goes well. The thin tall woman may select chokers which cut the line of the neck and de-emphasize height. Necklaces made of stones or pearls of the same size are especially flattering to the tall woman.

Bracelets-The tall woman has a wide range of bracelet choices as long as she stays away from too-delicate pieces. The full-figured tall woman should wear several thin bracelets together to give a more balanced feeling, or a couple of wide bracelets.

Earrings-Long dangling earrings are especially flattering to tall women. Because there is plenty of space between the ear lobe and shoulder, she can wear any shape earrings except tiny buttons which look lost.

Face Shapes
Now, let's combine the information pertaining to height and bone structure with the shape of your face. There are 4 basic shapes: oval, round, heart-shaped and rectangular. Analyze your face shape, and determine the fashions that will best complement it. Remember to select jewelry that is in proportion to the size of your face.

Oval - The oval face is considered to be the perfect shape. The proportions at the forehead are not too wide, and the line from the forehead flows into high cheekbones, then narrows slightly to a rounded chin.

Necklaces-Any shape necklace will work with the oval. A choker looks just as good as opera-length pearls or any necklace that comes to a "V."

Earrings-Round shapes, button or hoop earrings look well on the oval face, but triangular shapes are especially flattering. Dangling earrings look well, if they are not too long. Earrings that move up the ear or have wings that sweep up minimize a too-thin face or long nose.

Round- The round face is a circle-the width is equal to the length, with no discernible angles at the cheek or chin. The aim of jewelry is to add length.

Necklaces-To give a dimension of length, look for long necklaces, 28" to 32".

Earrings-Squares, oblongs, rectangles work well as do dangling and angular designs. Elongated styles also go well because they draw attention down instead of around.

Rectangular- The rectangular face has more length than width and it has distinguishable angles. The width of the face at the forehead is the same as the chin. This face needs jewelry that adds width and camouflages the length of the face.

Necklaces-A high choker reduces the length of the face, particularly if the neck is too long. Also, a 16" or 18" necklace that ends in a "U" flatters this face.

Heart-Shape - This face is wide at the forehead and cheeks, then narrows sharply to a point at the chin. Think of this face as a triangle. It likes jewelry that adds width to the chin to draw the eye away from the point.

Necklaces-A choker necklace is a favorite style because it softens and diminishes the sharp angle of the chin.

Earrings-Look for earrings that are wider at the bottom than the top. Dangling earrings that form a triangle are especially flattering.

Triangle- A dominant jawline that tapers or narrows toward the cheekbones & temples.
A triangle face is similar to a heart shape, but with corners & angles. You can match the angles of your face for impact or counterbalance them for softness.

Necklaces- Avoid necklaces that end with a point.

Hands
One final area to take into account when buying jewelry is the hand. This is a body area that attracts a great deal of attention because people "talk" with their hands or otherwise bring attention to them. It is important to select your ring with the same attention as other jewelry, striving to have a ring that flatters your hand. The length of the fingers is the determining factor when purchasing rings.

Long Finger:

Women with long fingers, like tall women, can handle almost any style. In all cases, rings, like all jewelry, must be selected in proportion to the size of the hand. For example, if the long-fingered hand is also overly thin, oval or round settings are best because they soften the look. Also, wider bands are more flattering than thin ones.

Short Finger:

The hands with short fingers look best with settings that remain within the knuckle. The setting or stone that extends past the knuckle only accentuates the hand's shortness and makes it look less elegant. Oval or marquise shape stones elongate the hand and make good choices for short fingers. Round solitaire settings are also good because of their simplicity. If you want a large ring, opt for a dome shape of a high setting that won't overpower the short hand.

Finally, when buying a ring, it is most important to keep comfort in mind. The hand is a working, functioning body area, as opposed to the earlobe which doesn't put forth any effort. Don't forsake comfort for looks. Measure the length of your knuckle and buy what allows you to move your finger freely.

Summing up Whatever your body proportions or height, there are real jewelry styles to fit your "look." Your local jeweler has a wide variety of fashions for you to compare, try on and select what flatters you . Rely on your jeweler for advice, information and service before and after your purchase.

Fashion and Jewellery For Your Body Shape

If Your Body Shape is... Apple:

You have: Beautiful curves like Jade Jagger, Drew Barrymore and Kate Winslet.Apple shaped girls are defined by curve and width. Characteristics are full busts, waists and upper backs and often width around the middle leading down to slim legs. For you it’s all about accentuating the positives (like your killer legs) and bringing balance to your shape as a whole.

Apple Girls’ Guide to the Top Bits

Jewellery: Statement jewellery, such as pendants and earrings, draws the attention away from your waist and up towards your shoulders and face.

Your Goals: Accentuate slim arms and décolletage (you lucky things), whilst bringing some shape to your waist and balancing the torso.

Create a Waist: Doing so will slim down and balance your entire figure. Think cinched waist tops, waist belts, tailored nipped waist jackets and wrap around tops.

Flesh Focus: Show off your slim arms with great sleeve detailing. Cap sleeves, sleeveless tops and detailing around the shoulders are all great ideas. Remember that your full bust is also a great feature, go for tops that show this off!

Minimise: Darker colours and more matte or basic fabrics on top can help minimise and slim a torso whilst detailing around the neckline or below brings attention to great assets.

Empire: Empire line dresses will create balance and will disguise any areas you want to hide. You can even go with a large print that will keep all eyes on you whilst breaking up your frame and slimming the figure.

Apple Girls’ Guide to the Bottom Line Your Goals: Accentuate your slim pins and bring balance to your frame by creating flow from your top half to your bottom half.Cut the Length: Shorter length skirts and dresses show off your great legs so are a good choice. You can always pair these back with more flowing tunic style tops to create some great proportion.

Get the Skinny: Skinny leg jeans and pencil skirts show off your thin legs!

Balance it: Flared and boot cut pants are great to balance out your upper half but thinner leg options should definitely not be frowned at. When it comes to skirts go for something with a little bit of a flare or ruffle for balance and make sure to show off your slim ankles and calves. Remember... It's great to be an apple shape because of your fantastic legs and arms. Show them off with pretty skirts and 3/4 sleeve tops.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If Your Body Shape is...Pear:

You have: The best of both worlds; you’re lean and bootylicious like Beyonce, Christina Aguilera and Tyra Banks.Characterised by a slim torso, bust and waist with larger hips, thighs and bottom, pear shaped bodies benefit from well tailored and proportioned items. This shape is all about balance, drawing the eye up and elongating the leg.

Pear Girls’ Guide to the Top Bits Your Goals: Balance is the key word here, and for you it’s all about drawing the eye up and balancing what's going on below.

Jewellery: Brooches worn high and towards your shoulder will make your top half look wider.
Chokers and pendants keep the focus near your face and away from your hips

Necklines: V neck tops help balance out your shoulders and add shape to the bust area. Detailed necklines are also a great choice. Things like beading, ruching or pleating across the bust will add shape and give a fuller effect.

Strappy: Few people can really get away with the strapless or strappy thing like you can. Embrace it and go with it - everyone else is jealous, I assure you.

Minimise: Minimise the bottom half by going crazy with the top. Think silk, bright colours, detailing and all the rest. These will draw the eye up and when paired with dark basics or solid tones on the bottom will balance your entire figure.

Maximise: Many pear shaped girls would prefer a little more weight along the torso. You can fake this by going for ruching or buy padded bras and enhancers.

Crop It: If you have hips then a great place to emphasise is your proportionally very slim waist. Cropped jackets and waist friendly belts will draw the eye up and accentuate a great feature. Cinched in waist dresses (like dresses with waist ties) and empire line dresses can accentuate the positives in your shape whilst gliding over problem areas.

Pear Girls’ Guide to the Bottom LineYour Goals: Minimise your hips and thighs while making the most of your very slim lower legs and making sure your top half flows through to your bottom half. Minimise: Darker colours on your bottom half will minimise width and lengthen the legs so when shopping for pants, these shades are the best option. This is a great idea to keep in mind when shopping for denim.

Stretch It: The fact that you have wider hips and thighs with thinner bottom legs means that something with a little bit of stretch is going to give you the best fit. Whilst spandex leggings may not be the go, something with a little elastane will give the best fit.

Band Aid: To minimise a tummy (if you have one) a waist band that sits a littler higher than the average (i.e. two or so fingers under the belly button) will smooth the tummy area magnificently.

Slim It: Pants with prominent vertical seams or more of a boyfriend cut flatter and lengthen the legs whilst slimming the silhouette as a whole.

Skirt Around: Wear skirts that cut off below the knee, particularly handkerchief hems and asymmetric cuts, which bring attention to slim calves and ankles. A line is a key word also. Remember... It’s great to be pear shaped because you can wear all the tops that others can’t. Stock up on silks and strapless numbers and watch other girls turn green with envy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If Your Body Shape is...Hourglass:

You have: Classic curves like Jessica Simpson, Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway.The hourglass figure will have a wider bust and thighs paired with a thin waist. This curvy shape benefits from showing off your best assets and creating balance.

Hourglass Girls’ Guide to the Top Bits Your Goals: Showing off your assets stylishly will slim an hourglass frame, bringing the eye to areas you love while helping you skim over areas you’re not so confident with.

Shape It: Wrap around tops and dresses are great for an hourglass as they emphasise your naturally thin waist. The same goes for cinched waist anything or items that belt or cinch at the true waist. Tailoring is your key here.

De Bulk: Thin weight fabrics like matt suiting gives a slimming line to your figure but doesn't add bulk. Keep this in mind when shopping for knitwear as well – the finer the knit the more flattering the finish.

Support: This includes supportive semi-firm fabrics in a dress to supportive bras that lift the bust or thicker straps on a top that keep a nice line across the shoulders. Because you have curvy figure support is key – keep this in mind when looking for any items.

Neckline: You will find items that come to a V are the most flattering along the neck. This is because they draw the eye down to the décolletage but also slim and narrow your quite wide chest. Because hourglass figures usually boast larger busts it's also important to keep this in mind, and not make a large bust look completely out of proportion by pairing it with a neckline that is too high.

Matte and Monotone: Keeping colours monochromatic gives a stylish finish and keeps you looking really well proportioned. While you can definitely wear colours and patterns well, care must be taken to not look too over the top. The more muted the better.

Sleevey: Sleeves not only add a little more shape across the shoulders, they are also a great way to flatter bigger arms. Fluted, three quarter and puff sleeves can instantly slim the entire arm as well as adding another layer of dimension.

Hourglass Girls’ Guide to the Bottom LineYour Goals: To flatter the form without adding any unwanted bulk.

Skirt Around: Skirts are a great way for you to flatter your form if you want to wear tops and bottoms as opposed to dresses. Pencil skirts, knee length straight skirts and high waisted skirts are all good options. Make sure to choose styles with a little stretch for comfort and the best fit.

Pants: Softly flared pants and jeans help balance out the figure below. Hourglass figures may also benefit from skinny leg cuts and wide leg cuts, which are tailored.

Rise and Fall: Mid-rise items are always great and flattering to an hourglass shape as they can cut across and diminish curves in the belly area. High waists too are a great option and a good way to show off your naturally thin waist. Remember... It's great to be an hourglass because you have killer curves. Show them off with dresses and skirts which embrace femininity and seduction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If Your Body Shape is...Petite:

You have: A cute compact and lean body like Eva Longoria, Kylie Minogue and Natalie Portman.Petite body types are smaller and often naturally toned. They will have broad shoulders and short legs. You're compact and small and for you it is all about creating length and curves and, of course, keeping it all in proportion.

Petite Girls’ Guide to the Top Bits Your Goals: To keep the eye moving from top to bottom, to create flow from your top half to your bottom half and of course to not swamp your delicate figure.

One Tone: One colour top to toe will create proportion, lengthen the figure and all the while give you a great silhouette.

All in Proportion: Tops that are shorter in length, cropped jackets that don’t fall below the hips and items that are detailed just under the bust all give you a sense of proportion to your body. This means a perfectly balanced frame.

Chiffon and Sheer: Over wraps and tops in a sheer fabric (like chiffon, lace and tulle) allow you to add layers to an outfit and a little curve to your body, while still keeping the line of your body clear. It’s something that Kylie uses all the time – think a sheer chiffon caftan with a plaited waist tie over skinny leg denim.

Petite Girls’ Guide to the Bottom LineYour Goals: Give your silhouette a little length.

Hemline: When you have little legs it’s important to keep the hemlines just right. If you are going to go with a floor length dress or skirt then make sure it has a dynamic front slit that will draw the eye up and give your legs a little length. However, the best length dress or skirt will be a cocktail or mini; here the proportion will be just right.

Line Work: When it comes to pants, the slimmer the leg the more lean and long your frame will look. Embrace skinny leg denim as the base of your outfit and your figure will benefit. Cuff It: Make sure that the cuff of your pants doesn’t skim the floor as this will just draw the eye down instead of up. Instead pants that cut off at or taper into the ankle are the best choice. If not make sure your pants are at least a centimetre off the floor – this will make your legs seem longer.

Footwork: Neutral coloured heels, peep-toe heels and shoes in the colour of your outfit are great for making you appear taller. Ankle boots are also great for this, as are knee high boots worn over skinny denim because it makes it look like those legs go on forever!Remember... It’s great to be petite because you can pull off all those strappy, skimpy cuts in tops, dresses and skirts that we are all dying to try.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If Your Body Shape is...Slim / Athletic:

You have: A sporty body like Cameron Diaz, Mischa Barton and Keira Knightley.Slim and athletic types will be straight up and down, perhaps with not much of a bottom or bust. You're straight and narrow and for you it is all about creating curves, curves, curves!

Jewellery: Accessorize with necklaces, colourful belts and scarves to add shape and interest

Slim Athletic Girls’ Guide to the Top Bits Your Goals: Curve, curve, curve is the call of the day!Strap and Strapless: Strapless bodices, form fitting shapes and strappy complex necklines are all something that smaller frames can get away with. So do it!

Print It: Little prints, contrasting colours and mixed and matched prints all add texture, which means curves in all the right places.

Shape Maker: Anything that creates shape is your best friend, such as pleating, detailing, beading, prints, pleats, ruching, silk and knitwear. All of these items create curves on the bust and hips which make them great options for slim girls.

Bold and Beautiful: Large jewellery (particularly necklaces) and bold colours around the neckline and top half keep all eyes on you and add a bit more depth to your frame. Choose colours that are punchy yet complement your skin tone.

Waisted: The illusion of a waist can be created in a number of ways, from belts around the waist to well-cut tailored jackets which flare out just below the waist.

Don’t Swamp: Tailored items will always look best on you, while boxy items will just swamp your body. You need tailoring to create form. This goes for the bottom half too.

Slim Athletic Girls’ Guide to the Bottom LineYour Goals: Embrace your slim lines or make a little more curve - the choice is yours.

Curve Creator: On the bottom your curves can be enhanced with belts, pocket detailing as well as A-line and full skirts. Pants can be patterned and textured and high waists are definitely not a problem for you.

Bias Cut: Bias cut dresses and skirts hug the body in all the right ways and hang in all the right places. What you are left with is the feeling of curve even where none exists.

Silhouette: Skinny leg denim or pants will show off all the curve you have and give a long lean look. They'er also a great choice for layering with other pieces to create more depth. However, if curve is what you are after, high waisted and boyfriend cut pants are the way to go. And the ever obvious puff and tulip silhouettes in dresses and skirts. Remember... It’s great to have a thin/ athletic frame because the trends off the runway actually work on you! Take advantage of it and be brave with fashion.

Getting Married? Want to get your precious wedding ring?

So you have decided it is time to give your loved one a RING. But there are so many to choose from, giving you hard time choosing which is the Right one for both of you? or Dunno which type of design she likes? or You don't even know which ring looks good on you?

The very moment when she said "Yes!", the fun begins. It is very exciting time planning on your wedding. I am here to give you a guide on choosing your wedding ring. Which brings the value in the symbolism. “Look, I’m married!” or “Forget him; he’s married.” Today many who tie the know want something that also symbolizes their individual styles, or rings to set this pair apart from other couples. These individualistic rings not only tell you that someone is married, they can often tell you who they are married to, if you can find the other unique ring in the crowd. But let me tell you guys out there what women actually thinks about the ring you gave.

Young couples who plan to marry should spend some quality time when it comes to choosing their wedding rings, find a designer who will design a wedding ring for them. This is something a couple will do alone as it should be a special time. Quality jewelers are not always easy to find and those that specialize in wedding rings are even harder. However, not to worry because i am here to provide my full service in designing and custom make your wedding rings of your wedding. Many people, however, make the mistake of going to a jewelry store in a mall. If you are lucky you might find enough variety but these stores often only carry a small selection of rings. It is in your best interest to find a jeweler that specializes so you will have enough styles and materials to choose from.

The most commonly sought after metals for rings are White Gold, Platinum, Titanium, Yellow Gold and Rose Gold, although increasing numbers of couples are choosing the over white gold jewellery as it is in trend. Obviously, if you’re after a yellow or rose colored ring, you’ll go for yellow gold or rose gold, though. Or another latest option which i always propose to my clients, is the mixture of 3 colors of White, Yellow and Rose Gold.

To ensure both wedding rings fit on the wedding day, it will be necessary to have both of them re-sized correctly. This means you will need to have them professionally adjusted and not rely on a guess. You want to be sure the ring will fit correctly; this will prevent it from being too tight or too loose and slipping off.

If you want to make sure your rings are ready in good time for the wedding, give your jeweler plenty of time to complete any adjustments. He may have a number to complete and you do not want a problem on the wedding day. There are many different styles and materials to choose from when picking your wedding bands; it may take you some time to find the perfect one.
However, the most important aspect to remember when choosing a wedding ring is that its purpose is to show the love that two people have for one another. This is why it makes sense to choose something you will both enjoy wearing, whether you choose to have a designer design a wedding ring for you or whether you choose from pre-made diamond wedding rings, or go to an antique store in search of antique wedding rings.

A wedding ring is a lifetime investment. Whether you’re planning on having an expert design a wedding ring for you, or to buy from the large choice of ready diamond wedding rings or others, you will need a ring!

A wedding ring symbolizes the union of two bodies and two souls. It binds the couple with the cord of love and togetherness. A wedding ring on the finger shouts out, he is mine, or that pretty lady is my beloved wife.

However, when you design your own wedding ring, it should suit your style and personality. You should also ensure that it caters to your pocket. A unique wedding ring would be one that fulfils all this as well as matches with the ring of your partner. To design your own wedding ring, you could consider going for diamonds if your budget allows you too, or select a cheap wedding ring option.

TIPS!
Hire a professional designer to make the most exquisite wedding ring for you. Your unique ring should catch the eye of every person on the marriage day. As you known exactly what you want, give the designer the exact design and your approximate budget. Nothing is as satisfying as a custom made ring. Personalize the design as much as possible. You could think up some innovative messages or symbols and get those engraved into your rings. Incorporating your favorite color or birthstone into your wedding ring is also a good idea when you are out to design your own wedding ring.

Finally and most importantly, when you are out to design your own wedding ring, consider the metal for the ring setting, the shape, the color and most importantly, the size. When all these things are right with the right design, you have a superb ring in your hands !
