How to choose necklace?
When choosing a handmade necklace, it is important to consider several factors:
-
Face shape: The necklace should fit the shape of your face. For example, if you have a round face, you should choose a necklace with a V-shaped neckline, which will visually elongate your face.
-
Body type: The necklace should match your body type. For example, if you have a petite figure, you should choose thin and delicate necklaces. If you have a full figure, you should choose larger and more massive necklaces.
-
Style of clothing: The necklace should match your style of clothing. For example, if you wear casual clothes, you should choose simple and understated necklaces. If you wear evening wear, you should choose more complex and ornate necklaces.
-
Personality: The necklace should highlight your personality. Don't be afraid to experiment and choose necklaces that you like.



Choosing a necklace to match the style of a dress
-
Casual outfit: a simple necklace made of beads, or chain with pendant will look great with an everyday dress.
-
Evening dress: complex necklace, decorated with a pendant will look great, as well as gemstone beaded necklace.
-
Formal and business suits: a discreet necklace made of metal with small gemstone will look great.
-
Sport-chick, jeans and t-shirts: boho style necklace will be a great choice.
How to choose a necklace by face shape?
Face shape: If you have a round face, you should choose a necklace with a V-neckline, which will visually elongate your face. If you have a square face, you should choose a necklace with soft lines, which will soften the features of your face. If you have a triangular face, the best will be a necklace with curves and round lines which will create balance between your pointed chin and wider forehead. If you have an oval face, any necklace will suit you.
