The right jewelry is more than an accessory. It’s an extension of who you are. It tells your story, reflects your personality, and holds meaning beyond its sparkle.
So, what’s the secret? How do you find a piece of jewelry that feels like you? It’s easier than you’d think. Let’s dive into how you can discover or design pieces that truly reflect your style and essence.
Let Your Birthday Guide You
First things first, when’s your birthday? Or, to be more accurate, when’s your birth month? This simple fact can lead you to some meaningful jewelry! Each month has its own unique gemstone, believed to bring good energy and significance to the wearer. Wearing a stone for your birth month isn’t just a stylish choice — it’s a way to embrace your identity.
What are all of the birthstones?
- January? Garnet
- February? Amethyst
- March? Aquamarine
- April? Diamond
- May? Emerald
- June? Pearl, Moonstone, Alexandrite
- July? Ruby
- August? Peridot
- September? Sapphire
- October? Opal, Tourmaline
- November? Citrine
- December? Turquoise, Tanzanite, Topaz
Are you a big fan of astrology? Are you the type to be wary when Mercury is in retrograde? Do you check the horoscope app on your phone every single morning? Then, you should get jewelry with your zodiac sign to honor your birthdate in a different way.
Or even better: pair the zodiac sign with a birthstone charm for added symbolism and luck. Just picture it: a Capricorn sign resting beside a garnet charm on a gold chain bracelet, or a Leo sign dangling from a pendant necklace with a glittering ruby.
Match Your Jewelry to Your Personal Style
Your jewelry should feel as natural as your favourite outfit. Choosing pieces that align with your aesthetic ensures they won’t just gather dust in your jewelry box–they’ll become your go-to accessories. You’ll wear them every day–you might not even take them off.
What's your style?
- Bold and Statement-Making? Look for chunky rings, oversized hoops, layered chains, and vibrant gemstones.
- Minimalist and Modern? Look for simple gold or silver bands, geometric pendants, and dainty studs.
- Bohemian and Free-Spirited? Look for nature-inspired designs, beaded bracelets, and raw gemstones.
- Vintage and Romantic? Look for filigree details, antique settings, and heirloom-style rings.
- Classic and Timeless? Look for pearl studs, diamond solitaires, and delicate gold chains. You’ll appreciate our collection of timeless designs here.

Make It Personal with Engravings
Want to make something your signature piece? Add your signature to it. Literally.
A small custom engraving can make a big impact—turning a beautiful piece into something unforgettable. You can add initials, names, significant dates, inspirational quotes or personal mantras to the accessory.
You don’t have to share the meaning of your engraving with anyone. It can be a little secret that you wear every day.
Reinvent Old Pieces for a Fresh New Look
You have a collection of old family jewelry that has seen better days. It’s a shame to see those cherished heirlooms sitting in your jewelry box, unused.
Sometimes, old jewelry needs a little TLC. Our repair services can help with that. A vintage ring that fits your style can be resized to fit your finger. Pearl necklaces can be restrung. Items that have lost their shine can get cleaned and polished until they look good as new.
What if the heirloom doesn’t quite fit your style? A skilled jeweler can help with reinventing old pieces into something you’ll actually wear. So, you can honour your family history without sacrificing your individual style.
Celebrate Connections with Meaningful Jewelry
Family heirlooms aren’t the only way that you can honour your relationships with jewelry. Permanent bracelets are the ultimate personal expression of love, loyalty and life-long commitment. These delicate, welded-on bracelets are beautiful ways to honour romantic relationships, long-time friendships and even the relationship you have with yourself.
What other jewelry items will honour your connections?
- Matching jewelry sets
- Half and half Pendants
- Lockets
- Infinity symbol charms
Jewelry that holds sentimental value becomes more than an accessory. It’s a daily reminder of the people who matter most.
Find Jewelry That Celebrates Your Values
Personalized jewelry for self-expression isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating something that feels right every time you wear it. So, look for jewelry that is a reflection of your strongest beliefs and interests.
Are you passionate about sustainability? Then choosing jewelry with lab-grown gems is a must! A gemstone like moissanite is a sustainable choice that rivals diamonds, providing brilliance and durability with less environmental impact.
Is music more than just a hobby for you? Then, maybe you should get a custom-made Massey Hall ring. The ring is hewn from the old maple floorboards of the famous concert venue. You can wear a piece of music history on your finger.
Wearing jewelry that represents what you stand for turns your accessories into powerful symbols of your identity.
Can’t Find It? Customize It!
If you can’t find jewelry that matches your individuality, you can always make it. Made You Look specializes in custom jewelry that tells a story–including the story of ‘you’. In a consultation with one of our expert jewelers, you can discuss your design ideas and inspiration, along with the metals, gemstones and settings that resonate with you. With your help, the jeweler will craft something that is an undeniable fit for you.
Jewelry That’s Unapologetically You
The key to finding the perfect jewelry for your style is making it personal. This could mean finding a necklace that shows off your birthstone, customizing a bracelet with an engraved motto on the inside or resizing an old ring from your grandmother so that it slips smoothly onto your index finger.
When in doubt, consult a custom jeweler who can bring your vision to life. Because the perfect piece isn’t the one that follows trends—it’s the one that feels like you from the moment you put it on, and the one that you don’t want to take off.
