Looking For A Necklace Set? Here’s What To Keep In Mind  

If you are looking to buy necklaces, whether a necklace set online or in store, you’ll want to get the best value for your money. Here are our top tips to look for when buying a necklace:

Looks & Fall

• Aesthetically, this is your primary lookout when buying a gold necklace. The design should be something you love and will want to wear for a lifetime as gold is a costly investment.
• See how the necklace falls on the model wearing it to get an idea of how it will look around your neck.
• Check the length of the necklace to see whether it will sit at the right level for you.

Design & Craftsmanship

• Once you finalise on a jewel you like, check carefully for the craftsmanship of the jewel.
• The necklace should not have any rough edges, nicks, bumps or scratch marks.
• The polishing should be even and smooth.
• Check that the links to attach the necklace are easy to use and smooth in function.

Certificates & Guarantees

• Check the retailers guarantee for the gold used. Does it come with a certificate or does the website assure the quality of a certain level?
• Go with bigger brand names as their large customer base ensures that their quality is up to the mark and charges are not exorbitant. See the best brands to buy jewellery.

Weight & Market Rate

Necklace Design: All About Necklace Length

We’ve all tried on a necklace only to discover that its particular length does our outfit or frame no favours. Necklace length plays a huge role in complementing an outfit. It is also a matter of preference. You may prefer a necklace design that is short and rests close to your neck. Some women prefer to buy necklaces that are long and flow even below the breastbone.

Whichever necklace design you choose, first think about whether the necklace matches your neckline of the outfit and see that the cut off length is flattering. Here’s a quick guide to discerning how long you can expect each style of necklace to be:

• Collar Necklace: 12 – 14 inches length
• Choker Necklace: 14 – 16 inches length
• Princess Necklace: 16 – 18 inches length
• Matinee Necklace: 20 – 22 inches length
• Opera Necklace: 30 – 36 inches length
• Rope Necklace: 36 inches or more length

When buying a necklace online, keep in mind that sizes vary from brand to brand. The exact length of the necklace will depend on where you buy the designer necklace online so check the product details carefully. Most fashion necklaces or designer necklaces online will usually come with adjustable lengths, so you can tweak it perfectly to suit your liking. Buying jewels of precious metals such as gold necklaces and silver necklace online can be a little tricky as adjustable links may not be provided – make sure you read the length details carefully and roughly measure it to your neck with another chain or pick of a string before your purchase.
