How to choose the right necklace: 9 Tips

9 tips how to choose a necklace

Necklace is one of the most popular types of jewelry. Necklace can be made of different materials: organic such as gemstones, leather, wood, and man-made such as ceramics, polymer clay, fabrics. It can be different lengths and different styles: from boho to "baby doll". Modern necklaces can come in plenty of shapes and sizes. In this article, we will give you 9 tips in order to help you to choose a necklace wisely.





1. Choosing a necklace based on face shape

- The shape of your face plays a crucial role in selecting a necklace. If you have a round face shape, you should opt for necklaces forming a "V" neckline. This necklace shape will help elongate your face and make it more expressive. Long or mid-length necklaces are preferable rather than short and chunky collars.

- If you have a square face shape, the better choice is a necklace with round or oval pendant. Round shapes will help soften your facial features and make them more delicate.

- If you have a triangular face shape, we advice you to go for a short necklaces with curves or round shapes to create balance between your pointed chin and wider forehead.

- If you have an oval face, you're lucky and can wear any length and style of necklace!

If you have a long neck, any type of necklace will suit you. If you have a short neck, you should opt for medium-length necklaces or short necklaces with a "V" neckline. This shape will help elongate your neck.






3. Choosing a necklace based on body type


If you have a slender body, delicate necklaces with elegant forms will suit you. If you have a fuller body, larger necklaces with substantial pendants will be more suitable for you.

If you're attending a formal event, you may opt for a noticeable necklace made of precious metals with gemstones or a handcrafted designer necklace. If you're going to work, a small sized discreet and elegant necklace would be more suitable.

If you prefer a classic clothing style, minimalistic and elegant metal necklace or chain with pendant will be the best, but low-key leather or beaded necklace is a right choice as well. If you prefer casual style, handmade necklaces made from modern materials, such as glass, polymer clay, pressed paper, wood etc. would be a good idea.




6. Choosing a necklace based on hair color

If you are blond, in order to highlight your tenderness and femininity you may choose necklaces with bright, pastel, romantic colors. If you have dark hair, you may emphasize your vibrancy by picking up intensive colored jewelry.




7. Choosing a necklace based on eye color

For blue eyes, necklaces with blue, turquoise, or white stones will complement well. For green eyes, necklaces with green, yellow, or emerald-toned stones will be a good match. If you have brown eyes, necklaces with red, violet, or black stones would be suitable.





8. Choosing a necklace based on price


The price of necklaces can vary from a few dollars to several thousand dollars. When selecting a necklace, it's important not to compromise on quality. Increasingly, modern women are opting for handmade designer necklaces. They are affordable and crafted in unique designs, making them stand out among others. Additionally, you can also consider getting a custom-made necklace tailored to your preferences.






9. Choosing a necklace based on personal preferences

When selecting a necklace, it's important to consider your own personal preferences. If you're drawn to a particular style of necklace, you shouldn't shy away from it, even if it doesn't align with all the recommendations mentioned earlier. The most crucial thing is that you love your necklace and that it brings you happiness.


Conclusion:

  • Avoid wearing too many accessories together.

  • Pair necklace with another accessory such as earrings, bracelet, or ring for a finished look.

  • Remember that the necklace should complement the shape of your face, the length of your neck, and your body type.

  • Don't hesitate to experiment and choose necklaces that reflect your style and individuality.
