Visual Illusions and Jewelry Coordination
Understanding Visual Illusions
Visual Illusion Definition
It is an erroneous perception where the brain misjudges an object's
properties, such as size or length, due to the influence of
surrounding reference lines or shapes.
Application in Jewelry Design & Styling
Illusions are strategically employed in jewelry design and wearing to
visually modify facial shapes and body proportions, creating effects
such as elongation, slimming, or balancing.

Skin tones vary in depth and temperature. We mainly
categorize skin tones into four types: light cool, light
warm, deep cool, and deep warm. Warm tones are
dominated by yellow, while cool tones are dominated
by blue.
Body Shape and Jewelry
Foreign image-related professionals roughly classify
women’s body shapes into five types: X, H, A, Y, and O.
Statistics show that the global distribution of these five
body shapes among women is 26%, 18%, 22%, 9%, 25%.

Aesthetics and Jewelry
Era & Period
Aesthetic preferences in jewelry are period-specific,
reflecting the distinct craftsmanship, materials, and
design philosophies of their historical context.
Individual Taste
Personal jewelry selection is highly subjective,
shaped by an individual's age, gender, culture,
profession, and socioeconomic status.
Cultural Integration
Jewelry design evolves through the cross-
pollination of artistic elements and cultural
influences across regions, leading to innovative
fusion styles.
