Why a Silver Necklace Is a Must-Have in Every Woman’s Collection

There is something special about silver. While gold can sometimes feel too bold for daily wear, silver necklace for women are not too loud. Simple necklace designs are not as understated as to be unnoticeable, striking the perfect balance of subtle boldness to elegance.

The Common Buying Dilemmas Every Woman Faces

Before we get into styling tips, let us talk about the one dilemma that most women will run into while shopping for necklaces. Chances are, you will have run into at least one of these:

1. Should I choose a statement necklace or a minimalist one?

This seems to be the biggest decision. A statement necklace design can become the centre of attention for your outfit, but a minimalist necklace design gives you options for your everyday wearing.

Tip: If you are just getting into collecting jewellery, focus on minimalist silver necklaces as a starting point. Once you have that covered, then you can purchase a statement necklace that is more bold and new to you.

2. What necklace length will suit me?

The length will greatly affect the look of the necklace. Chokers and princess-length necklace frame your face very nicely, while longer length necklaces can elongate your neckline.

Style Tip:

- When wearing a V-neck top, choose a pendant necklace similar to the shape of the neckline.

- When wearing a high-neck top or dress, layer several long silver chains for a modern stylish appearance.

3. How do I choose between classic design and trendy designs?

As necklaces are introduced every season, it is easy to get excited about the current trend. But, will you love it five years from now?

Solution: You can achieve balance by purchasing timeless styles (like a cool silver pendant necklace) and investing in a new unit or two of a trendy necklace every year.

4. Will it work for my skin tone?

Lots of women think that only gold looks good against warmer skin tones. They are really missing out tho silver is more versatile than they realise - silver looks fab with almost every skin tone. This is a personal preference when it comes to a specific neckline or necklace design when it comes to your face shape, which is the truly important thing.
