Necklaces have made staple
adornments for ages and they keep evolving. They have come from the bead and
shell ages to myriad variations available today made even with the most
precious metals and gemstones. The good thing about necklaces is that they can
be worn by anyone; you just need to pay attention to the style and length to
select the most suitable for you.
The common styles
Pendant necklaces – Pendant
necklaces make very desirable options, especially because it is possible for
the pendant to be removed. Some of the necklaces come with pendants included
while others don’t but because the pendants are readily available, you can buy
as many as you want and use them on the same neck chain to achieve different
looks. Think about clasp ends when choosing pendant so you get the perfect
fits.
Station necklaces – They
feature large design elements like a bead or pearl link or disc that is
separated using short thinner chain lengths. The tin cup necklace remains a
very popular style among station necklace styles.
Lariat necklaces – This type of
necklace comes in long length and open ends that lack a clasp. The absence of a
clasp gives the necklaces versatility because they can be worn in different
styles including knotted or doubled just like you would wear a scarf. You can
achieve so many configurations with this necklace type making it a necklace
that you can wear with any given outfit, whether casual or formal and for any
given occasion for that matter.
Bib necklace – It features a
series of nesting beads or chains connected to a single chain. The layered
elements are designed in such a way that they rest against the wearer’s chest
in different lengths. The chain holding them together begins round collarbone
top and can run around the neck back. Layered chains have gained popularity and
feature large sized decorations to give a plain looking one colored outfit
elegant.
Common necklace lengths
Choker – This kind of necklace
is usually 14 inches to 16 inches and embraces the collarbone. It is an attractive,
youthful length with pearl chokers making some of the most popular and
versatile pieces.
Collar – They are very short
hugging the middle part of the neck and worn with multiple strands. They are
best worn against skin compared to over clothing. The term is generally used to

lengths are sophisticated and sexy and usually measure anything between 20
inches and 25 inches. They are classic and very popular because of how refined
they look when worn with the right outfits.

most popular length measuring 18 inches. The fall of the necklace is several
inches below the collarbone and pearls are very popular with this length.

or doubled depending on the type of layering you want to achieve or the trend
that you wish to achieve.
