How to Slenderize With Jewelry

Depending upon your body type, certain jewelry looks better than others and accentuates your good points. I know you know that already!

To look thinner, I recommend long chain style necklaces with dangling pendants. Do not wear a necklace where the bottom rests on the boobs. It needs to be a little shorter than that or you’ll look as wide as a battleship in your side view.


Symmetrical pins, worn alone on a coat collar or lapel or used to anchor a scarf, are an excellent look.


For earrings, long chandelier style earrings are a good look. Hoops look good on everyone. I’d avoid round, button style earrings. They tend to widen the look of the face.

Stacked bangles in a variety of patterns and colors draw attention to the wrists and can hide a thick wrist. I’d avoid tight cuffs. I also wouldn’t waste my time with a delicate bracelet, like a tennis style bracelet. If I’m going to wear a tennis style bracelet, I try to wear several constrasting looks.

When I wear rings, I tend to go for the larger stones. I want to draw attention to my hands.

I’d avoid anything tight, tight choker necklaces, tight bracelets, tight rings, cuff bracelets, tiny pins, button style earrings.

What is Art Moderne Jewelry?


Art Moderne style is an extension of Art Deco design and is associated with the later period of Art Deco style. Art Moderne can be dated from the late 1920s to the start of WWII. Art Moderne style is geometric and blocky. To me, it appears to be influenced by the Machine Age. Colors are bright and bold in Art Moderne jewelry. In contrast, Art Deco is more delicate.
