And that hasn't changed to this day, this piece of jewelry is and remains the icing on the cake. I'm sure you'll take one last look in the mirror before you leave the apartment and check your outfit.

You will see, afterwards you are satisfied with your appearance and set off ehilarated for a successful day at the office, a romantic meeting with your partner or a nice evening at a party with friends. But which necklaces should be worn for which occasion? Should the pieces of jewellery be shorter or longer, filigree and discreet or rather opulent and eye-catching? What material should they be made of? And what needs to be considered when buying?

The chains must match the outfit and the situation

It always depends on the outfit and occasion for which the piece of jewelry is worn, because these two points decide on the choice of model. There are completely uncomplicated necklaces that simply always shine and are the perfect companion for every day and every situation. For eample, filigree classic link chains with a delicate pendant or simple pearl necklaces - you can't go wrong with these pieces. In the workplace, it is recommended to wear discreet yet timelessly elegant jewellery that matches business clothing. Ideally, even the color nuances are coordinated. Good taste in the choice of accessories leaves a valuable impression on the supervisor, because in this way you look solid and reliable, at the same time charming and self-confident. At Dinner for Two with your partner, it can be a little more and the jewelry sparkles in the candlelight with your shining eyes. Slightly thicker necklaces with colorful stones or rhinestone pendants are ideal here, which become a real eye-catcher on such evenings. At large events or one-off highlights in life - whether it's a glittering ball night or the celebration after graduation - it can also get pretentious, because big situations require big chains. Eye-catching necklaces and gold-plated jewelry with zirconia stones fit very well here. Stack a little lower with a pretty pearl necklace that stands for simple elegance and elitist taste. At parties, it can also be a little more unconventional, maybe you reach for feather headdresses, leather straps or models in a colorful ethnic style. For the perfect length of necklaces, the following applies: in the office rather short, in leisure time everything is allowed that pleases and fits the clothing style. The most popular measure has proven to be the length from 42 to 44 centimeters True jewelry lovers even take into account the time of year: for eample, necklaces in a floral design are worn in spring, models with delicate, playful elements in summer, variants with colorful stones in autumn, and necklaces with pearls are more likely to be worn in winter.

What aspects should be considered when buying chains

Necklaces can only fully develop their effect when they fit the person, the outfit and the overall styling - only if the overall picture is right and everything is harmoniously coordinated, this piece of jewelry becomes a real eye-catcher. Therefore, if you choose a particular model among the numerous necklaces available, you should take into account some aspects when choosing. So it would be an advantage if the necklace also harmonizes with your other accessories, for eample with bracelets, earrings and other gold or silver jewelry. In addition, it can also be matched to the watch, glasses or other things that complete a styling. It is equally important, in order to achieve a good effect, to pay attention to the proportions of the wearer in chains. Are you rather small and delicate? Then it's better not to wear clunky models, because they will visually push you to the ground. The same goes for a long, slender neck. However, if you are tall and strong, and your neck is a little shorter and more pronounced, then small delicate chains would 'disappear' on you and not fully eert their effect. When it comes to the strength of the chains, the taste is decisive - the only thing to note: If the strap is too thin, a large pendant or charm could slip back and forth.
