It is very easy today to follow fashion trends and just pick up a necklace or two from a store to wear with our hand picked outfits.

We put so much effort into finding the right dress, the right top, but we let ourselves down with our personal adornments.

We very rarely think about how the right piece of jewelry can be just the item to make heads turn and people compliment us.

However, throughout history, it has been the creation of the adornment that has been at the forefront of fashion.

When one looks at photos of Catherine the Great, we tend not to notice her clothes, but are drawn to her elaborate jewelry. The pieces were largely designed with her input, and made to fit and compliment her own figure.

She made sure every piece had her own particular style, and fit her shape perfectly.

She was a glamorous woman, ahead of her time, and was famous for her beauty and sensuality.

It is still important today to make sure, particularly when it comes to necklaces, that you make the most of the assests you have, and dont draw attention to the ones you dont.

Jewelry is no different from clothing when it comes to how it "fits" each woman. Ladies with long necks look stunning with chokers, or necklaces that sit high around the neck, but if your neck is shorter, you need to draw attention to your decolletage or collarbone area. All women no matter thier shape or size, have beautiful collarbones.

Jewelry that is designed exactly to you shape can make an enmormous difference to the look of your jewelry. Being just half an inch out can make or break your look. Ensure when you are buying jewelry, that the designer takes measurements. This is absolutely vital. This is also the beauty of buying made to order pieces.

In the time of Catherine the Great, this was the only way to make jewelry.

Remember, jewelry is the talking point of most outfits, live with the spirit of Catherine the great and always be Admired and Noticed
