Figure-Flattering Jewelry

Cocktail Rings Mask Stubby Fingers

The complaint: “I hate my short, stubby fingers.”

The disguise: Cocktail rings.

Why it works: These big, statement rings are actually better suited for thicker fingers because they require a certain amount of weight to pull off. Just be sure to find a ring that doesn’t overwhelm your hand and you’re good to go.

Lemon Quartz Ring in Sterling Silver $156 The bright, pretty gem is set in accessible sterling silver.	Black Onyx Ring $295 This architectural onyx ring is simply stunning.	Multi-Gem Ring In 14kt Yellow Gold $234 For a little more sparkle, the multi-gem ring set in yellow gold is a perfect statement piece.

Thick Wrists Require Chunky Bracelets

The complaint: “I want to look slimmer.”

The disguise: Chunky bracelets.

Why it works: It’s no fashion secret that you should accessorize according to your size. If you’re a larger woman who wants to look thinner, a big, chunky bracelet will make you look slimmer because it complements your build.

Studded Bangle $24 If you’re looking for more reasonable (read: affordable) options, the studded bangle is the perfect complement to a leather jacket when you’re feeling rocker chic.	Kate Spade Keswick Caning Bangle $195 This ornamental-looking bangle would do well dressing up a summer look or a simple outfit with jeans.	Juicy Couture Cabochon Flex Bracelet $178 Juicy Couture’s clean take on turquoise is refreshingly simple and modern-looking.

Long Chains Lengthen Your Neck

The complaint: “I look like I have no neck.”

The disguise: Long necklaces.

Why it works: We aren’t all blessed with long, lean necks like Iman, but luckily there’s a fix for that. Long necklaces draw the eyes downward, which has an elongating and slimming effect you’re sure to appreciate.

Betsey Johnson ‘Metals’ Long Strand Layered Necklace $45 For something a little more low-key and everyday, try layers of long gold chains.	Lauren by Ralph Lauren Double Strand Petal Necklace $44 The dropped petal detailing on this necklace is so pretty and sweet, this would look great with any outfit.	Diamond Filigreed Necklace $149 Try this sparkling diamond filigreed necklace.

Oversized Earrings Disguise Big Ears

The complaint: “My ears are too big.”

The disguise: Oversized earrings.

Why it works: If you’re tired of wearing your hair down to cover your ears, try oversized earrings. A larger earring actually draws attention to the accessory and away from your ear.
