Personalised jewellery is a great way to express your style and individuality, whether you choose a necklace, bracelet or custom pin.

But with so many colours, materials and styles to choose from, how do you find the right piece for you? From matching jewellery to your skin tone to choosing a style that suits your lifestyle, here are some simple tips to help.

Personalised Jewellery to Suit Your Skin Tone

Choosing jewellery in colours that complement your skin tone can help enhance your overall look.

When it comes to metal jewellery, consider your skin’s undertone. Warm undertones tend to complement gold and rose gold, while silver and white gold often suit cool undertones.

For cord bracelets, earthy shades such as brown and tan can work well with warm undertones, while navy and black can complement cooler tones.

Silicone wristbands offer even more choice. For a bold look, try contrasting colours such as orange and blue or green and pink. If you prefer something more understated, choose complementary or similar shades such as blue and green.

How Do You Know if Your Undertone is Warm or Cool?

A simple way to identify your undertone is to look at the veins on your wrist in natural light. Greenish veins can indicate warm undertones, while blue or purple veins may suggest cool undertones.

These are only general guidelines, though, as many people have neutral undertones. If you’re unsure, a professional colour analyst or makeup artist can help.

Choose a Style That Suits Your Lifestyle

Your lifestyle is another important consideration when choosing personalised jewellery.

If you lead an active lifestyle, durable materials such as stainless steel can be a practical choice. Our Bounce bracelet, for example, features an adjustable knotted clasp for comfortable everyday wear.

Silicone wristbands are another versatile option. They’re waterproof, lightweight and contain no metal, making them a useful choice for those with nickel allergies. For something a little more discreet, our secret message wristband adds a personal touch without being too noticeable.

If you like to layer multiple bracelets or necklaces, bear in mind that friction can cause plated or coated jewellery to fade or chip over time. Sterling silver jewellery also needs a little extra care, so try to keep it away from perfume, lotions and pool chemicals to help prevent tarnishing.

And if you prefer not to wear jewellery every day, a personalised pin is an easy way to add a personal touch to a coat, jacket or bag.

Choosing the Right Bracelet and Necklace

When it comes to bracelets, comfort and ease of use are key. Adjustable cord bracelets and expandable wire styles make it easier to find a comfortable fit, while magnetic clasps can be a convenient alternative to traditional fastenings.

For necklaces, think about both your neckline and the length of your neck. Choker-length styles can work well with higher necklines, while longer necklaces can complement more open necklines.
