Gold necklaces are a staple accessory that has been around for thousands of years and continues to be widely used today. When paired with other jewelry and appropriate clothing, they can have a stunning effect on the wearer's appearance. Whether plain or embellished, with pendants or embedded stones, they are a direct reflection of the wearer's personality. In this article, we'll look at how you can choose the right model for you.
The classic elegance of gold
What makes gold necklaces for women so popular and desirable – perhaps the timelessness of gold as an ‘eternal’ metal, its shine or its value? At the same time – the tickling feeling of style and class. Depending on the type of gold (white, yellow, rose) and the combination with other accessories, the necklace can ‘scream’ or be quite elegant, hinted at as an accent.
Gold necklaces for women – for different ages and styles
The wrong, sometimes impulsive choice of jewelry can also lead to unpleasant feelings if it conflicts with the overall style of its owner. Here we will list a few main trends when choosing these wonderful jewelry:
- For young ladies – modern and minimalist designs, suitable for everyday wear. Light, sophisticated and delicate gold necklaces. Delicate chains with small gold medallions, symbols of luck or geometric shapes – hearts or infinity. An option is to inlay the jewelry with a pearl or a small stone.
- For older women: more classic and sophisticated models that exude stability, confidence and style. Larger sizes are also allowed here - with thicker chains and more ornaments. If there are stones - they will be larger. Sometimes necklaces with a retro style are preferred.
- Necklaces for men – they should show class and masculinity. Larger sizes are also possible – thick and massive chains, but without many ornaments, obtrusiveness and unnecessary kitsch. Necklaces with crosses, anchors and lion/wolf heads are often worn. The choice is between matte or polished gold.
How to choose a gold necklace according to personal style and preferences
Of course, when choosing a necklace, one should feel like it is ‘their thing’, and not be a slave to norms. However, it should be borne in mind that necklaces with large and eye-catching elements are usually suitable for more extravagant and extroverted personalities, while people who prefer a more restrained style can choose something more subtle and elegant. It should also be noted here that the length of the necklace can also play a role in emphasizing one’s own style.
Gold necklaces for different occasions
If possible, it is good to wear different jewelry for different occasions – depending on the occasion. Here are a few examples from us:
- For everyday occasions – at home, in the office, on a walk – it is good to wear simple and clean jewelry that can be combined with informal clothing. Thin and delicate chains, combined with crosses, hearts or minimalist figures. A current trend is to wear several such necklaces together – the so-called layering;
- Formal events – for events such as formal dinners or cocktails, impressive and elegant jewelry is recommended. Longer and thicker chains add accent to the evening outfit. It is also possible to include stones (precious or semi-precious). With us you will find a variety of types diamond necklaces and precious stones. Necklaces with more and more intricate ornaments can also be used. Gold necklaces at the neckline are a classic choice for suits and dresses with a deep neckline.
- Weddings and anniversaries – these are moments that carry a strong emotional charge. Brides quite often opt for classic gold necklaces with diamonds or pearls. Sometimes even heirloom jewelry. For the anniversary of a partner or colleague, a necklace with an engraved inscription is a wonderful gift. For special emotional occasions – using large and bright medallions is also a good option.
- A necklace as a gift for a holiday (anniversary, graduation, birthday, etc.) is a perfect gesture reflecting the attitude towards the celebrant. This gift symbolizes love and attention. A heart-shaped pendant, with letters or an engraved inscription symbolizes a personal attitude towards the person. Depending on the occasion, gold necklaces can be both a stylish accent and a meaningful piece of jewelry that carries emotional value to its owner.
How to choose a gold necklace according to your face and body shape
Choosing the right jewelry is not just about your own style or preferences. It is important to consider your face shape and body structure. The right jewelry can highlight your best facial features.
- Choosing a gold necklace according to your face shape
o Round face: For people with this type of face, V-shaped necklaces are suitable, which optically lengthen the face. Long and thin chains below the collarbone also create a feeling of length.
o Oval face: It is versatile and allows you to wear almost any type of necklace. Medium-length necklaces and those with pendants are excellent choices. Chokers are suitable if you want to accentuate the neck.
o Square face: For this face type, more rounded and gentle shapes are recommended, which soften the features and sharp contours - necklaces with rounded pendants or oval medallions are recommended here.
o Heart-shaped face: For a heart-shaped face, jewelry with long chains and large and voluminous elements are suitable, which add visual balance to the lower part of the face.
- Choosing a gold necklace according to body structure
o Tall figures: For tall and slender people, long necklaces that emphasize height are suitable. Long chains that fall to the middle of the chest or even to the waist create a sophisticated and elongated look.
o Short figures: For people with shorter stature, short necklaces are a better choice. Medium-length necklaces that go down to the neckline visually add length.
o Figures with full necklines: Thicker and solid gold necklaces are suitable for these people, as they are proportional to the figure.
o Broad shoulders: If you have this type of structure and want to soften your shoulder line, avoid short-length jewelry as it will accentuate them. Instead, choose long necklaces that fall below the collarbone.
Recommendations for choosing necklaces according to different neckline types
- High neckline – long necklaces that fall below the neckline, such as V-shaped chains, are suitable.
- Deep neckline – to emphasize it, V-shaped or mid-chest-length jewelry is a perfect choice.
- Boat neckline: for this type of neckline, choose chains that fall just below the neckline or wrap around the neck, like chokers.
- Strapless: Necklaces with a short length to the collarbone are the best choice for strapless dresses as they accentuate the neck.
