Jewelry plays a crucial role in making you look taller than you are. Did you know that?

These baubles are just as important as clothing and heels, that helps add those extra inches to your height. If chosen wisely, jewelry can add illusion of height and make you look slimmer. Whereas wrong selection of jewelry can make you look even more petite or plump.

These few useful cues for buying jewelry can help you fix ‘you're not the shortest girl in the room’ perception, even when you're wearing flats!

• Chokers and Bib Neckpieces are a big no-no!

We all know that chokers are one of the hottest trends of the season, but one should not go with the flow. They accentuate the strongest features; therefore short women should avoid wearing substantial chokers and bib necklaces. Doing so can compress your overall look.

Instead opt for layered necklaces and sleek long chains with eccentric pendants that will flatter you.

• Geometry and Minimal are the way to go!

Light-weight and dainty pair of earrings in varied geometric shapes like triangles, rectangles, rhombus can offer a noticeable style statement wherever you go.

• Danglers and Drops are for you!

One of the most sought after adornment that can prove to be a right choice for short women is dangling or drop earrings. They complement any outfit in the most gorgeous manner pulling the whole look together. Choose long and narrow danglers to create an illusion of an elongated neck. Long earrings will not only add those extra inches to your height but will also impart a generous dose of glamour to your looks.

• Bold cuffs are not for you!

Bracelets or cuffs are one of the most versatile ornaments and can be worn with different outfits to become a signature piece for any occasion. Weighty bracelets look disproportionate to your height. Therefore women who are short should opt for sleek and stylish tennis bracelets. Which is also one of the most versatile ornaments that can be worn with different attires, and is surely a signature jewel for any occasion.

• Cocktail Rings done right!

When it comes to statement rings, choose designs which are oval in shape. They’ll make your fingers look tall and slender. Women with petite frame should opt for rings with slender, narrow-width bands to lengthen the appearance of your fingers. The cut of the gemstone should also be kept in mind. Oval, pear and marquise cut stones give an impression of elongated fingers.

These tips are a handy guide for short women. Remember to always wear those statement jewels that will impart a fairly 'longer' look to your entire ensemble. Just make sure you do not add a necklace, ring, earrings, and bangles all at once. If you are wearing a neck piece, go lighter on the ears and so on.
