Necklace: Elegant necklaces that define your style

Whoever deals with neck jewellery can no longer ignore elegant necklaces. The beautiful models are usually fitted with a permanently attached pendant. Most necklaces are gold jewellery or silver jewellery, sometimes striking, sometimes rather simple.

If you fancy a special eye-catcher, you can of course also opt for one of the models with stones or pearls. In short: the options are varied and offer you the chance to reinvent this classic women’s jewellery in new ways time and time again.

The following sections will tell you what you should look out for and which tips can help you to skilfully showcase necklaces for women.

Various designs: the difference between a necklace and a choker

The options available today in the field of neck jewellery are often more varied than expected. This is often reflected in the different names that are used to distinguish the individual pieces of jewellery from one another.

Have you always wondered, for example, whether there is a difference between a necklace and a necklace? Then it’s time to shed some light on the subject. The word “necklace” comes from the French and means something like “necklace”.

“col” means “neck” and “lier” stands for “to tie”. So a necklace is something you tie around your neck. And perhaps you’ve already guessed it: it’s simply another name for the classic necklace.

Many necklaces, however, are somewhat more elaborate and therefore more eye-catching than the classic necklace. The fact that necklaces catch the eye so quickly is partly due to the fact that the pendants are directly connected to the chain and therefore usually look a little “bulkier”. Classic necklaces can of course also be worn with a pendant. However, these are threaded on and are therefore often a little more delicate.

Over time, the market for necklaces and chains has become increasingly diverse. As a result, the boundaries have become increasingly blurred. It is often simply no longer possible to distinguish precisely between a chain and a necklace.

A real eye-catcher: these different styles and materials are available

Nowadays, it is actually no longer a problem to find a necklace, optionally also as engraved jewellery, that ideally suits your needs. Gold and silver necklaces are particularly popular, as are the variants that can be assigned to the bead jewellery category.

In the end, your personal taste, but of course also your style of dress and the occasion, will decide which option is best for you. How about a link necklace, for example? Or a necklace in which one or more gemstones have been incorporated?

Always pay attention to the design of the pendants in this context. They can also be used to create slightly looser designs, such as the BoHo style, for example – especially if you opt for a slightly longer necklace.

How to reinvent your necklace over and over again!

Do you have a necklace and want to reinvent it again and again? No problem! In this case, you should look around for pendants in different designs and sizes. The selection of different materials and colours is huge. You’ll see: changing the pendant on your necklace gives the piece of jewellery a completely new charm.

Additional tip: If you know from the outset that it is particularly important to you to change your necklace again and again, it is important to make sure when buying that you can change the pendant in just a few simple steps. In this way, you ensure that the accessory offers you the flexibility you expect from it.

How to make the most of your necklace: 5 golden jewellery rules

Want to make sure your necklace is shown off to its best advantage? After all, this is a special accessory that you shouldn’t compromise on.

The following jewellery rules become relevant if you have decided to make the most of the respective possibilities:

Rule no. 1: Don’t combine too many eye-catching pieces of jewellery

Depending on how eye-catching the necklace you have chosen is, you may want to be a little more discreet when choosing your “counterparts”. If you combine an eye-catching necklace with large, expansive hoop earrings, the end result often looks overloaded.

Rule no. 2: Pay attention not only to the general design, but also to the colours

To ensure that your necklace and the rest of your accessories match, you should always make sure that the jewellery pieces have the same basic shapes. If you combine square with round, everything will quickly look inharmonious.

Rule no. 3: Go for necklaces with gemstones if you want a particularly elegant look

Simple necklaces look good. However, if you fancy making your outfit look a little more elegant, you should opt for a pendant with at least one gemstone.

Rule no. 4: Emphasise the parts of your body that are important to you

The longer your necklace, the more you emphasise your décolleté. If you want to focus more on your neck, you should opt for a short necklace.
