Necklaces

Necklaces have a long history as decorative items, indications of wealth and status, displays of spiritual beliefs and even providing protection to the wearer. They still serve as meaningful adornments and design statements that compliment and upgrade one’s personal style. While many necklaces are timeless, some types are currently very much in vogue. One of the most popular styles is the pendant necklace, an extremely versatile form that is suspended from a variety of chains such as gold, silver, leather and ribbon and can be as simple as a small stone or as elaborate as a large, incised silver ornament worn with practically anything in one’s wardrobe. Coins and spiritual pendants are experiencing a resurgence in popularity. Necklaces with vivid gemstones are particularly charming and stylish accessories and a simple gemstone necklace can spice up any outfit. Colorful stones, however, should be worn with understated clothing to allow for better focus on the necklace. Beaded necklaces with glass, coral, crystal, stone or even clay beads continue to be fashionable and pair perfectly with casual outfits like jeans, a sweater or a casual dress.
