Hot red jewellery is good for Aries; the pieces can be chunky but not elaborate! Chain links are good too as they appeal to the warrior in them. Aries’s style is all about being bold and loud.

 

Taurus: April 20 – May 20

A Taurus person is a calm pillar of strength and is super reliable, like the ground beneath your feet. Patient and nurturing, they value bonds of love and family, and exude security and certainty.

Deep forest greens and light pinks are appropriate for Taurus. A solid piece of jewellery that’s stripped of extraneous embellishment will be suitable, as a practical and subtle style appeals to the Taurus person.

 

Gemini: May 21 – June 20

A Gemini person is gregarious and enjoys engaging with the people around them. Geminis can be a little distracted and indecisive, though, but the people around them can help them with that.

Gemini people have an affinity for oranges and yellows! Bright jewels and colours suit Gemini’s effervescent personality. Two-piece or separate pieces are good. A Gemini is all about keeping up with the latest trends, so any jewellery definitely has to come from the latest releases!

 

Cancer: June 21 – July 22

A Cancerian is strongly attuned with the emotions around them. Slightly impulsive but strongly intuitive, Cancers can rely on their gut instinct to get around, and can quickly judge someone’s emotional state easily. Cancerians are good at making their dreams a reality while staying sensitive to the needs of the people around them.

Cancerians have an affinity for shades of white and cream, as well as greys and silvers. A Moonstone is a gem that definitely suits Cancers. Velvet accessories like chokers have a certain appeal to Cancerians, as their style is flowy and dreamy.

 

Leo: July 23 – August 22

A Leo is a an authoritative individual who gets what he or she wants! Leos are strong, courageous and funny people who tend to be natural leaders. Although Leos may be dominating, they are warm and will at least try to listen!

Gold is a definite yes for Leos, as are bronzes and coppers. Purple stones, which represent royalty, are also appropriate. Anything that has a flashy and showy style is good for Leos!

 

Virgo: August 23 – September 22

Virgos are calm individuals who know how to keep their emotions in check. Deeply practical and analytic, they are good problem solvers, but they tend to ruminate on their actions excessively, sometimes to their own detriment. On the plus side, Virgos are genuinely helpful people.

Jewellery and accessories in light pastel colours look wonderful on people with this sign. Virgo’s style is subdued and soft, and floral designs are a definite yes!

 

Libra: September 23 – October 22

Libras are extremely honest people who are diplomatic at the same time. Libras themselves are very fair and balanced people, and this inner harmony in turn helps the people around them to achieve the same balance. However, they tend to get unsettled when things don’t go according to plan.

Libra is all about shades of blue, from navy to baby. Black is also a favourite. Any jewellery must be very symmetrical and harmonised, and should ideally be neither too bold nor too subdued. Classy pieces define a Libra’s style.

 

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21

Scorpios are somewhat mysterious and unpredictable. They seem to have many personality traits, many of which are conflicting. People may have a hard time pinning down a Scorpio, as they are somewhat “deep” people. This isn’t to say that they aren’t nice people – they’re just hard to decipher.

Deeply intense colours like crimson, burgundy, maroon and black complement Scorpios. Any form of jewellery can be pulled off by Scorpios, with an eclectic style being absolutely perfect!

 

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21

Sagittarius is an energetic and optimistic sign that has fun playing around. People with this sign also has a philosophical streak and are good at expressing ideas and concepts to other people, which makes them great teachers who love to help people.

Bright yellows, browns and plums and purples are great for this sign, and sleek jewellery with lots of curves in the design are especially appealing.

 

Capricorn: December 22 – January 19

Capricorns are mature for their age and offer perspectives that no one else can offer! Often seen as wise by their peers, Capricorns are intuitive and cut through the fluff! They have a fun streak too, but only show it to certain people.

Deep indigos and blacks are beloved by Capricorns. Stones such as labradorite are a favourite, with silver complementing a Capricorn’s character more than gold.

 

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18

The Aquarius is that fun and kooky friend who can be both the life of the party and the mysterious know-it-all. This sign is creative and always wants to do things for the greater good of the world. They are good liars, however, but rarely do so maliciously.

Psychedelic, eccentric and wacky styles are favourites of Aquarius! From hypnotic mood rings to chunky plastic accessories, people born under this sign love anything eclectic and enjoy expressing themselves with vibrant colours.

 

Pisces: February 19 – March 20

Pisces have an uncanny ability to tell what other people are thinking, and have fertile imaginations. Although they are prone to mood swings, Pisces tend to go with the flow. They are sometimes indecisive, but use their intuition to help them out.

Violet, turquoise and sky-blue stones are a favourite of Pisces to wear! Flowy bohemian pieces, whether wrought from cloth or carved metal, look great. This sign also looks better with silver rather than gold accessories.
