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.

Definition: Cuff Bracelet

What is a cuff bracelet? It’s a bracelet that spans the wrist but is open in the back. The opening allows the wearer to put on and remove the bracelet. Cuff bracelets can be thin or thick. Most fit the wrist fairly snugly and do not move around on the arm when the bracelet is worn.
