What’s a Midi Ring and How to Wear It

You may have noticed the recent trend of celebrities and local fashionistas sporting tiny rings worn at the top of their fingers, sitting between their upper and middle knuckles. These are called midi rings, but can also be called memory or tea rings. They are great for balancing out long fingers as well as drawing attention to your fabulous nails. Looking to join in on this trend? Here are some ways and reasons to incorporate this trendy jewelry piece into your style.

Pandora 190884EN16 Strength Black Enamel Ring

The great thing about these rings is there is not one particularly way to wear them- you can mix and match! The idea is to create new and unique looks, and to combine them with other jewelry pieces to make a statement.

Thomas Sabo Clear Zirconia
Combining midi rings with other pieces can include stacking more than one midi ring together on the same finger, wearing different ones on different fingers, or combining midi rings with cocktail rings, such as our Thomas Sabo Clear Zirconia Cocktail Ring, and other large pieces. These larger statement rings are still meant to draw most of the attention, but the midi ring adds a sense of uniqueness and style opposed to a more simple look.

Pandora 190872 Changing the Seasons Ring
While stacking traditional rings may look cluttered and overwhelming, midi rings’ small size and simple style help create the perfect stacking look without weighing down your fingers. The style also avoids the clinking of your rings against one another that can happen if you are wearing several traditional-sized rings on different fingers. Your fingers can still look adorned without being uncomfortable or creating an overpowering look.

Choosing the Right Necklace Chain Length

Choosing the right necklace chain length determines the way your jewelry will frame your face and complement your body type. The length of your necklace chain really depends on your preference, but here are some general suggestions to help you decide where your necklace should fall.

Selecting the Right Necklace for the Body 
To make the most of your look, consider how different lengths of necklace chains would look on your body. The features to most consider when selecting a length are your neck, height, body type, and face shape.

Neck: Since necks vary in size, a standard choker might be too large or small for your actual neck. Therefore it’s very important to measure your neck before purchasing a collar or choker necklace. Do this by using soft measuring tape. Once wrapped around your neck, the tape should be tight but not suffocating. After you know your neck measurement, a general rule to follow when buying a choker is to select a necklace size one size up from your measurement. 

Height: While a long necklace might overpower a petite frame, too short of a necklace might look strange and out of place on a taller person. Here are recommended necklace lengths based on height:
          •Below 5’4”: 16-20 inch necklace lengths
          • 5’4” to 5’7”: Necklaces of any lengths
          • 5’7” and above: Able to wear necklaces of any length, but longer styles will accentuate your frame and look best

Miriam Haskell Gold Necklace Chain Leaf
Body type: Different necklace lengths can accentuate or minimize certain body features. If you’d like to accentuate the bust, a necklace chain around 20-22 inches is best, such as our Miriam Haskell Gold Necklace Chain Leaf. If you’re flat chested, long, thin chains will look best on your frame. Full-figured frames should stay away from necklaces sitting on or below the breast line, because this length won’t hang properly on this body type. Necklaces that sit slightly higher on the body are better options for this body type.


Face shape: Necklaces can affect how wide, narrow, angular, or round your face looks, so it’s important to choose carefully and control the way your face will be perceived by others. Here are some general guidelines:
          • Heart-shaped faces should wear necklaces from 10 to 16 inches, as these will subdue the sharp angle of the chin.
Kanupriya Necklace
          • Round faces should wear necklaces ranging from 26 to 36 inches, like our colorful Kanupriya Necklace, because these will lengthen the jawline. Choker necklaces should be avoided, because they will add on to the roundness of the face.

          • Rectangular and oblong faces should wear choker necklaces, because they’ll shorten the jaw and smooth the face’s angles.
Erickson Beamon White Wedding Necklace
          • Oval shaped faces are lucky, because generally, any length necklace complements their face. One of our favorites to try would be our Erickson Beamon White Wedding Necklace, which is a real eye catcher.

A SWAG Favorite: Chandelier Earrings

Miriam Haskell Chandelier Pearl Silver Earrings
Erickson Beamon Bosa Nova Earrings
Chandelier earrings are a great way to spruce up any outfit. It’s no wonder chandelier earrings have been a popular trend for the summer. They can bring a touch of style, flair, and femininity to your look, and can be worn with or with out complementary jewelry. What’s nice about this trend is that chandelier-styled earrings come in a wide assortment of designs, shapes, materials and textures. If you are looking for a bohemian pair of chandeliers, you might be attracted to a more long and loose design. Or if have a more refined look, go for a simple style that has a single bold color. Regardless of your style, there are plenty of chandelier earrings available to match your look.

Because there is such a vast array of styles available, there isn’t any set rules that needs to be followed when selecting chandelier earrings. However, we have a few tips that may be helpful when deciding which dangly earrings should be added to your wardrobe.

Things to Consider:

Styles/Colors: When choosing chandelier earrings keep in mind the colors and styles that are being offered. It’s fair to say that most women want something a little more unique. But keep in mind your current wardrobe and try to choose a set of chandelier’s that will be complementary. Go for colors and styles that blend or appropriately complement your other jewelry and clothing pieces.

• Comfort: Chandelier earrings are usually a lightweight jewelry piece, which makes them perfect for the summer. But you can find chandelier’s that, while pretty, are just too heavy for your ears. So look for pieces that will be comfortable and that you will actually want to wear even after a couple of hours have passed.

For this upcoming summer, these earrings can add a light unique touch to your current jewelry collection. Isharya and Erickson Beamon are just two great collections that offer great chandelier styled earrings. Erickson Beamon Jewelry is even credited with creating the chandelier earring.
