Necklace: Make Any Outfit Instantly Ideal

Same as with boots, sandals or any other fashion go-to accessory, the right kind of jewellery can make or break your outfit. Necklaces have the full power to do so. By picking the right ones you increase your chances to take your outfit from drab-to-fab.

This piece of jewellery has been worn by women for centuries now, not only to grace their necks to mesmerise onlookers but to express a sense of personal style as well. And while some failed to find their place in the accessory world, few items have transitioned from trend-to-try to jewellery-box staples.

Pendant

Pendant necklaces are one of the most common types on the market, consisting of a focal dangling component – a pendant. Designed to fall just below the collar line, these delicate chains and dainty pendants will help you highlight your collar bones. They are mostly made of precious metals like gold and silver and therefore have a higher value. Although gold remains a classic, sterling silver has slowly but surely worked its way up the throne.

Made from 92.5% pure silver, sterling silver is a fantastic hypoallergenic jewellery option which rarely causes allergies or contact dermatitis. In addition, sterling silver will hardly change its colour and tarnish. Although it may happen in certain cases, if you properly take care of your sterling silver pieces, they can last you a lifetime and look like new. Available in many shapes, sizes and colour, pendants give more meaning to the chain. Elegant and delicate, pendant necklaces are classic, yet very chic. You can wear them with a deep neckline at events, or as an everyday staple with casual outfits.

If you’re ready to invest in a timeless piece, you can opt for a diamond or any other precious gemstone-like ruby, morganite, peridot, aquamarine or sapphire and get enduring style with exceptional value. You can wear it on special occasions and let your jewellery do the talking. Avoid anything too detailed or embellished, and carefully pick your neckline. Go for scoop necks, v necks, strapless or of the shoulder tops, and rest assured your pendant will have maximum impact.

Choker

What was once popular back in the ’90s, lives its major comeback. This single-stranded, 35-40cm long jewellery piece is not something only trendy teenagers are wearing. Chokers have been around for a while and used to be worn to both casual and red carpet events. Fitted exactly on the neck, these delicate or chunky accessories can be made from a wide range of materials, from smooth, rich textured velvet, to leather and precious metals. Some of them may have a pendant on their centre, whilst others may be plain. Ideal with almost any neckline and even off-shoulder, chokers can be worn alone or paired with a long jewellery necklace.

Multi-Strand Chain

Why wearing one, when you can wear multiple strands all at once? Multi-strained chains are connected by one single enclosure. They look glamorous and chic when paired with a variety of outfits. From different thickness to matching or asymmetric strands, there is an option out there to suit every taste and budget. Style them with deep v neck, or crop tops and clothes in monochromatic dark colours to make sure your jewellery stands out.

Statement

Statement pieces call for attention, and it’s no different with statement jewellery necklaces. Best known for their big and bold designs, these jewellery pieces are difficult to wear and style like most other types of jewellery. But, when done right, they can bring you some serious style points. Usually heavy and chunky, statement chains vary in size, materials and collar length and can be worn in various ways.

Matinee

A matinee design is a specific type of long-chain jewellery, originated from the Edwardian era in the early 20th century. Often associated with light dressing gowns and royalty, romance and absolute femininity, these pieces are also in trend right now. Sitting just somewhere above the bust, it’s perfect for both business and casual wear. You can wear it with a high collar or turtleneck, muted colours and clothing with fewer decorations for the ultimate stylish and chic look.
