Things to Consider

With thousands of unique styles and looks to choose from, monogram jewelry is easy to find. But what makes a good piece of personalized jewelry? Consider your personal style, what colors look best on you, and what size of jewelry you’re looking for and make a statement with your monogrammed jewelry.

Style 

When choosing a piece of monogrammed jewelry, it’s important to consider your personal style. After all, if you tend to gravitate towards a more understated look, there’s no reason to go for a big, bold chain. Think about where your week takes you and what activities you enjoy on the weekends—you want your jewelry to be as functional as it is beautiful. 

If you lean more towards a frilly, feminine style, consider more dainty, delicate pieces. If your outfits are typically big, bold, and confident, make a statement with custom earrings that will draw attention to your entire ensemble.

Skin Tone 

It’s also important to consider your unique skin tone when shopping for meaningful monogram jewelry. While you may have personal preferences, different metals look better on certain skin tones, and a beautiful piece of coordinating jewelry will get used more often. When you look fabulous, you’ll feel fabulous, too! 

Those with cool skin tones often look best in light or white metals, like white gold, silver, and platinum. If you have a warmer skin tone, opt for classic gold, copper, or rose gold pieces. If you’re not sure what your skin tone is, there’s a few easy ways to figure it out. You probably have a warm skin tone and should opt for gold jewelry if your veins look green. You may have a cool skin tone if your veins look blue.

If you want to add jewels to your monogrammed jewelry, keep in mind that bright blues, shimmering emeralds, and frosty pinks and purples look best on cool skin tones. If you have a warmer skin tone, opt for earthy tones like rubies, navies, or shimmering diamonds to look your best.

Size

Whether you’re looking for a jewelry box staple or want a gorgeous monogrammed piece to wear on special occasions, it’s important to consider the size of your new personalized jewelry piece. Basic staples like monogrammed gold necklaces or delicate custom monogrammed bracelets are great choices to have on hand. If you’re looking for a statement piece for a night out or special event, you may want to look for larger options that have a little more bling to them.

Consider buying a combination of simple and bold monogrammed pieces, so you’ll always have a piece of thoughtful jewelry to wear, no matter where your day takes you.
