Choosing a jewel "for you" starts with knowing yourself, not with window shopping.

## 1. Define your style

- **Minimalist:** simple lines, fine pieces, little metal. See [stackable rings](https://www.711grados.com/en/stackable-and-eternity-rings/).
- **Classic:** pearls, hoops, small diamonds, wedding bands. See [pearls](https://www.711grados.com/en/pearls/).
- **Romantic:** delicate shapes, flowers, hearts, rose gold.
- **Bold or *statement*:** large pieces, color, unusual shapes. See [understated or statement](https://www.711grados.com/en/understated-or-statement-jewelry/).
- **Vintage or handmade:** pieces with a story, textures, handwork. See [contemporary jewelry](https://www.711grados.com/en/contemporary-jewelry/).
- **Ethnic or symbolic:** inspired by cultures or with meaning. See [meaning and symbolism](https://www.711grados.com/en/meaning-and-symbolism-of-jewelry/).

## 2. Look at what you already have

Open your wardrobe and your jewelry box: which colors and metals repeat? Which pieces do you always wear? That is your real base.

## 3. Think about your daily life

If you work with your hands, play sports or travel a lot, choose comfortable, sturdy pieces. See [jewelry for occasion and profession](https://www.711grados.com/en/jewelry-for-occasion-and-profession/) and [stones for everyday wear](https://www.711grados.com/en/gemstones-for-everyday-wear/).

## 4. Start with versatile basics

Small hoops, a fine chain and a simple ring go with almost everything.

## 5. Add a piece with personality

Once you have the base, add a piece that tells something: a colored stone, a designer piece, a personalized jewel. See [personalized jewelry](https://www.711grados.com/en/personalized-and-engraved-jewelry/).

## 6. Try before you decide

Put the jewel on, look at yourself from the front and in profile and walk in it. Comfort is style too.
