Sorry, madam, not everything that is fashion suits you, or suits your personality, your clothes, or even the color of your skin. It may not even suit the length or shortness of your neck.

Yes .. it is the art of "jewelry etiquette", which is concerned with educating women about how to choose jewelry and jewellery, the timing of wearing them, the appropriate colors and their type. women, by virtue of their experience in this field.

In order to provide advice to women wishing to buy jewelry, Al-Ansari and her Portuguese partner participated in workshops, seminars and exhibitions, in addition to their intention to broadcast videos on YouTube to show how to buy and wear jewelry, and how to coordinate it with clothes and colors.

Al Jazeera Net met Qatari designer Noura Al Ansari, and here are the details in the following interview:

• What is the etiquette of wearing jewelry?

There must be a certain way to wear each type of jewelry, according to the time or occasion that the woman attends. work, and other aspects of life.

There are also other criteria when wearing jewelry that depend on the number of pieces, the type of raw material that it consists of, and their colors, and on the other hand, the style (style) of the clothes that women wear, and how to coordinate their wearing and number, so that they fit the occasion, so that we give the piece of jewelry its value and beauty, whether It was definitely simple or big.

On this basis, Elizabeth Rice, my partner, the ambassador of Papillon Jewelry, and I, by virtue of my experience in jewelry design and her experience in wearing etiquette, are working to direct these skills to one goal, which is to educate the public in the art and etiquette of wearing jewelry so that the beauty of women increases and the beauty of jewelry, and give them their precious value.

It is necessary for the lady to buy the piece that represents her personality, if she is an official figure, then classic jewelry will suit her more than others

• How can a woman choose the jewelry that suits her during the purchase?

When a woman goes to buy jewelry, she must take into account some things such as the nature of the personality, its shape and specifications, whether it has a long or short neck, a wide shoulder or a slender one. An artist or a famous person goes to buy a piece similar to her, regardless of whether it fits her specifications or not.

It is necessary for the woman to buy the piece that represents her personality. If she is an official person, she will fit the quality of classic jewelry more than others, as it contains very light diamonds that give it a soft luster, and differs from the unconventional character.

• Do you provide services in your organization to the public regarding the selection of jewelry?

We at the Foundation, in cooperation with the consultant Elizabeth Rice, have recently started offering workshops and seminars in the form of YouTube videos, the duration of which does not exceed 3 minutes. It also includes introducing jewelry and how it matches dress and colors, not just following fashion and riding the waves of "trends" without taking into account what suits women.

In the coming days, we hope to present lectures and seminars in this context in various events, exhibitions and forums related to jewelry.

• What is the importance of such ideas and services for Qatari women?

Qatari women are known for their high taste, and we women have a great passion for jewelry of all kinds, but we must instill the idea of ​​excellence in the way they wear jewelry, and enhance their self-confidence in order to ensure that they do not imitate, as we see many women tend to buy the same pieces as their friend or sister Or one of those close to her owning it, so the view becomes very boring. Our role here is to change this stereotypical style and push women towards more exclusivity to show their beauty and elegance in a wonderful way, and we take this into account in our designs, as we offer distinguished pieces in a limited number only.

I tell women to enjoy your jewelry, and always go to jewelry fairs and admire their beauty, even if you do not have the means to buy them, because this beauty nourishes the eye and the soul.

• What advice do you give women in choosing and buying jewelry in light of the spread of many traditional and non-traditional designs and trends?

I stress first that a woman should buy only what suits her in jewelry, in line with her personality, appearance, budget and type of occasion.

Second, that the lady wishing to purchase the jewels should make a list of jewelry purchases, specifying the time period for purchasing each piece, in conjunction with doing research, whether online or in the market, about this piece, its latest models and designs, purchasing criteria and everything related to it, and enhancing its culture on this subject. .

Only buy when you are completely satisfied with the piece and not just for the sake of it or on-trend, and when you feel the piece is calling you and designed for you.
