How do you choose a women's 925 sterling silver necklace?
A women's silver necklace is chosen according to the neckline and to what it should say. A fine chain with a small pendant is worn with an open collar every day, a silver bead necklace or a stone necklace makes a statement with an outfit, a long necklace elongates the silhouette. Here you will find more than a hundred 925 sterling silver necklaces, in bare silver, rhodium-plated silver or gold-plated silver, from the plain chain to the pendant set with cubic zirconia, mother-of-pearl, crystal or gemstones.
Which necklace length should you choose?
Length is measured including the clasp. A choker measures 38 to 40 cm and sits at the base of the neck. A 40 to 45 cm necklace falls on the collarbone, which is the length of most of our chains that state one. A 50 to 60 cm necklace falls to the upper chest, and beyond that it is a long necklace. Many of our necklaces adjust at the clasp over several centimeters, the product page says so when that is the case.
Which pendant should you wear on a silver chain?
Our pendants carry the signatures of the house, the fish that is its emblem, the cabochon or faceted stone of the La Pompadour, Sissi and Frida lines, silver beads, mother-of-pearl and cubic zirconia. A fine chain carries a light pendant, a thicker cable or belcher chain carries a heavier piece. For a stone, the same lines exist as a ring and as a bracelet, so you can put together a jewelry set.
How do you care for a silver necklace?
The necklace is often the first piece of jewelry to tarnish, because it touches the skin of the neck, perfume and lotion. Apply your perfume before putting it on, take it off before the shower, the pool and exercise, and wipe it with a soft cloth in the evening. A bare silver chain that has tarnished regains its shine with a silver polishing cloth. A rhodium-plated or gold-plated chain, which is the case for most of the necklaces on this page, prefers a lukewarm soapy bath and never an impregnated cloth. Our silver care guide gives the method and the products to avoid.
How do you match a necklace with earrings?
The same metal and a single statement piece. A pendant necklace pairs with discreet earrings, stud earrings or small hoop earrings. A fine necklace pairs with drop earrings. A short necklace and a long necklace go together when they share the same metal, the first close to the neck, the second on the bust. All the necklaces on this page are 925 sterling silver, and each product page gives its finish and, most often, its weight and length.
