Does the kind of jewelry you wear say anything about you? Much the same way that the type of hat or clothing you wear tells others a bit about your personality and style, so does your jewelry. You can make a statement as to what you're all about, even though personality can be a complicated topic.

Think about the first time you met someone. What kind of jewelry were they wearing? Were they wearing any jewelry at all? When you saw the type of jewelry they wore – or lack thereof – what did it tell you about that person? Now, look at the jewelry you wear on a regular basis, or even on formal occasions. What does it say about you?

Let's look at some personality types versus jewelry.

Sophisticated and Simple

People who take plenty of trips to the beach and enjoy a relaxed lifestyle tend to gravitate toward simple earrings, bangle bracelets, and chain necklaces with a gemstone or pendant. They may not take life as seriously as others and seem very approachable. They don't care all that much about sticking to trends, but they are highly aware of what's fashionable.

Minimalist

With an appreciation for things that are both versatile and stylish, modern, slick pieces catch the eye of this individual. They don't wear a lot of "bling" but do appreciate a touch of sparkle and mixed metals. This person has a sense of balance, is orderly, and tends to be thoughtful.

Brand Name, Luxury Jewelry

If, to all aspects of life, a person pays great attention, they may prefer luxury, brand-name manufacturers. They work hard to reach their goals and never settle for second best. People admire their appreciation of life's finer things and their high self-esteem.

Classic, Elegant Jewelry

Solitaire engagement rings, tennis bracelets, diamond studs, and more have an elegant, classic look preferred by many. People find individuals wearing items like this interesting but with a personality that is somewhat understated. No matter the situation, they always look poised.

Antique Jewelry

Both trendsetters and nostalgic individuals appreciate antique jewelry. There is a story behind every piece – the significance of which does not escape the person wearing it. They likely know exactly what the story is. Some of these vintage items are one-of-a-kind. This person is likely an exceptional conversationalist and a very interesting individual.

Jewelry Made with Earthy, Natural Elements/Recycled Jewelry

Natural elements can include those made from seashells, driftwood, sea glass, and more. Jewelry that dates back to the 1970s – such as an old turquoise bracelet – may also be recycled by this person. Nature lovers tend to go this route. Forest green and ocean blue are color tones that are much appreciated by this individual.

Color-Coordinated

Some people just love to accessorize. People who are responsible and highly organized tend to buy matched sets and color-coordinate jewelry with their outfits. Simply because they look so professional, their advice is frequently sought regarding style.

Fun, Costume Jewelry

A person might be the life of the party if they enjoy wearing extravagant cocktail rings with man-made gems of colorful varieties, statement necklaces, or big hoop earrings. They’re likely fun, outgoing, bubbly, and cheerful.
