"We have many different aspects of jewelry selection that we're going to be discussing today. Tip # 1- color- choosing your jewelry, first of all is based on color. What you like. What looks good on you. What enhances your natural qualities? Most jewelry, though not all, is worn near or around the face. Necklaces, earrings, even head pieces. The reason for this is adding some sparkle around the face can really enhance your look, without a great deal of effort. When we're looking at colors to enhance peoples' face, the first thing that we look to, is their eyes. Now, this doesn't mean that if you have blue eyes, you have to wear blue stones. What you can do is hold various stones up to your face, to determine which ones look good on you and which ones enhance your natural color. Sometimes this may mean matching, but often times it means contrasting. So, if you have brown eyes you don't have to wear brown topaz, but you may consider amethysts, emeralds or something in a color range that will enhance your brown eyes. Green eyes also look wonderful with amethysts and even better with greenish stones or yellow stones. Everybody looks good in diamonds and everybody looks good in pearls. White is an impeccable color for everyone, Especially in a soft creamy range."
