Once you get the general idea about the recommendations we have been going through, you will become a lot more aware of the jewelry pieces that will wow everyone, especially yourself.
Here are the recommendations for your body type:
Tall and plump

As with visual merchandising, what is at eye level stands out, so if you are wearing a nice pendant, and you are very tall compared to the average person, make sure you have a necklace that is long enough to be right where you want people to see.
Your body shape will work better with bigger than average pieces, if you want to achieve a discreet look, average-sized pieces will work.
