Here are just a few of the most common questions (and answers) when it comes to buying the perfect piece of jewelry.

Q: If you have larger features, should you wear smaller pieces of jewelry to create an illusion of smallness?
A. No. Wear jewelry that is scaled to your size. Wearing pieces of jewelry that are too small or too large create a comparison effect, not a complementary effect. You want your jewelry to look like a natural extension of yourself. Wearing jewelry that is scaled properly will do just that.

Q. Can the right earrings contour your face?
A. Yes. If you have a well-defined chin, you can minimize it with gemstone earrings set close to the ear. If your face is rounded, you can add the illusion of length with diamond earrings that have some drop to them, like journey diamond earrings. If you have a longer nose, try larger earrings, but ones that do not outline the earlobe.

Q. Should you avoid wearing rings if you have ugly hands?
A. No. Keep in mind, the degree of attractiveness in any part of the body is always subjective. Most times, we are our own worst critics anyway, right? Take an objective look at your hands and be honest with yourself; are your fingers more like sticks or sausages? Are your palms narrow or squared? Ask more question like this, and stay honest in your answers. When you have a good objective sense of your hands, pick diamond rings that share the same characteristics as your hands/fingers. Remember, you want your jewelry act as a natural extension of your person.

Q. Is it okay to mix different types of jewelry?
A. Absolutely. The key, as we have mentioned, is knowing your features and what will work with them. If you are choosing pieces that will complement your features, you can mix and match because you’re features are the point point of reference from which other pieces have been selected. So, if you want to wear emerald gemstone jewelry with pearls, you can.

Keep these tips in mind the next time you are shopping for jewelry and you should find that you are more satisfied with your selection. And keep coming back to the SuperJeweler Blog; we’ll be offering up tips and tricks like this from time to time.

While Penelope Cruz opted for a stunning diamond necklace, other starlets were sporting gorgeous diamond earrings. Most notable were Anna Hathaway, Kate Winslet, and Nathalie Portman. All of whom are sure to set off a real trend in diamond earrings. The best part about diamond earrings is that there are a number of different diamond earring styles that can all bring a different look to any outfit you pair them with.

If you are looking at adding some diamond earrings to your collection, here are some pointers:

• Diamond stud earrings are like the blue jeans of jewelry. They go with anything and are almost always a good choice.
• Diamond hoop earrings come in a variety of sizes. Smaller hoops are what most women will opt for. Larger hoops can sometimes seem grandiose. If your outing is very special, however, larger hoops are sure to make a splash.
• Diamond circle earrings are a little bigger than diamond hoop earrings, and will hang off the ear a little bit. This is the look that is really coming into favor right now. Partly, this is because people are looking at diamond earrings as a way to make a statement. And partly it is because diamond circle earrings come in a variety of different styles, so you are sure to find some that match you perfectly.
• Journey diamond earrings are a big seller at SuperJeweler.com. The elegance of the journey curve is naturally beautiful and, frankly, no other diamond earrings go better with a little black dress.

Still, the ultimate guide is to know your style first. The shape of your face will have an effect upon how certain diamond earrings will work for you. If diamond circle earrings make your face look unusually thin, then perhaps journey diamond earrings give you the accentuation you need. Remember, jewelry should compliment your natural beauty, not try to change it.
