The fashion landscape back in the 1990s and 2000s was particularly restrictive for plus size women, excluding them almost completely. Options were limited, and mostly narrow beauty standards were reinforced. The industry was overwhelmingly occupied with ultra-thin models and preferred zero-size ideals. Such negative exclusivity left out plus size women with few to no fashion choices.
The jewellery industry also presented its own set of challenges when it came to plus-size fashion and plus size women. Many jewellery pieces were designed keeping the smaller and delicate frame in mind. Resulting in accessories that are disproportionate and cause discomfort for plus size women. Thin chains and tiny pendants would have looked lost on the fuller figure of plus size women. Even when it came to rings, sizing was limited, and many trendy pieces were simply not available for the plus size.
The accessory marketing and clothing industry have negatively reinforced a certain, or what can be defined as, an ideal body type. The lack of options and limitations forced plus-size women to shop in specific stores or rely on custom-made items, making it time-consuming and expensive.
Luckily, as time went on, both the jewellery industry and the fashion field have gone through significant changes and have become inclusive, with better fit and extended sizes. The world is finally catching on to how important it is to love oneself first, no matter what, and accessorising can boost confidence and appearance through personal style.

Styling tips for the Plus Size Diva: The rectangular emerald cut of the diamond flatters the fuller figure, and allows the pendant to sit in the middle, balancing the broader shoulders and fuller bust without appearing too delicate or lost. Best to wear it with a V neckline or scoop necks for a beautiful focal point.

If you have a plump face and a fuller figure, then these Gleam Cascade Diamond Earrings are made for you. These exquisite earrings feature an eye-catching inverted floral design that gracefully points downwards, creating a waterfall effect.

Why does it work for Plus Size women? Delicate jewellery might not get noticed easily on fuller figures. The substantial size and ornate design provide the perfect mark to complement the plus size without appearing overwhelming.
A Pro Styling tip for the plus-sized divas: Rock it solo, or wear it with a delicate bracelet. Regarding outfits, a three-quarter sleeve would be perfect or with a structured top.
Cosmic Array Diamond Nosepin: Glimmer for fuller and Radiant Faces
Last but not least, to finish off the list, we have our Cosmic Array Diamond Pendant that enhances and celebrates fuller faces. What makes it unique? The angular geometry and the brilliant diamond setting. Unlike simpler studs that might be subdued by the fuller features, the star’s geometric angles provide definition and complement the fuller face.
A pro styling tip for plus sized divas: Wear it with neutral makeup, and go for soft and nude lips. Define your brows more to give a more prominent feature.
No matter the size, confidence is the crown here. For Plus-Size Women, Accessorising is the final touch. When it comes to accessorising, the most powerful thing one can wear is their own confidence.
Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, and in fashion, size knows no bounds. We at Jewelbox believe in celebrating inclusivity and full expression. The main objective is to have pieces for all shapes and sizes, including the plus size and choosing what makes you feel radiant. A truth to be told, confidence is the real accessory and it never goes out of style.
