Tips for Choosing the Style

Thought many different styles of neckwear could fit the same person, keep in mind that the style you choose should match well with your overall taste and your style of jewelry in particular. When choosing the type and style of the neckwear you should carefully consider the type of clothes that you or the intended wearer prefers.

  • If you're completely at a loss, a simple solitaire pendant or a strand of pearls will look equally gorgeous on anyone with any taste or style.
  • Though it is important to see what metal they usually wear, in general, if planning for a special occasion a pendant or a necklace in white gold or platinum is usually the best choice, while yellow gold is warmer and is more appropriate for every day wear.
  • Gemstones, be that diamonds or any other colored stones, add a lot to the festive allure and the design of the neckwear. If your goal is to find something more extravagant and extraordinary, this could be the styles for you. Take a look at our collection of gemstone encrusted necklaces.
  • If you love to use color in your wardrobe, then turn your attention to the multicolored pendants and necklaces that incorporate magnificent colored gemstone. If buying for someone else, take a look at their favorite colors to wear, or at the neckwear with their birthstones.

If you choose to give her a strand of Pearls:

  • A strand of smaller spaced out pearls on an exquisitely thin chain or translucent threads would look stunningly on a younger and more delicate woman. A strand of larger pearls, in same or variable sizes set closely together will be a fabulous and generous present for someone more mature and very elegant.
  • If she already has a simpler strand of pearls and you know that she loves them, you can gift her with another one, in other colors, matching or mixed or intertwined strands of different shapes and sizes.

Pendants and Necklaces:

  • Just like most other jewelry, chains, pendants and necklaces come in different dimensions and width. Notice if she prefers to wear larger pieces or something dainty. Also keep in mind that items that are smaller in overall dimension look better on women of more diminutive stature, and would be lost on those of larger frames.
  • Larger pieces really shine on women with larger frame and will dwarf someone of a smaller build, so choose accordingly.
  • If the neckline of your (or their) clothes is usually elaborately decorative and lacy, try something that is more ornate, like a finely crafted, elaborate necklace.
  • In contrast, if your clothes are more on the narrower, tailored side, then you just might find a more elegant and clean-cut style perfect for your tastes.

Choosing to give a stunning piece of neckwear is an extremely romantic gesture that is sure to delight her.
