Fashion Jewelry and Bib Necklaces

Fashion jewelry is one of the easiest ways to update or dress-up any outfit. Jewelery can be worn with anything, no exceptions, but  there is one key thing to remember when you are choosing jewelry: it will be more flattering when kept in proportion with your body. Long earrings can shorten your body length when worn in the wrong way, just as necklaces can shorten and widen the rest of your body, or draw attention to areas that are not flattering. The trend for fashion jewelry is currently large, bold and colorful. Women are raiding vintage shops and their grandmothers’ jewelry boxes for pieces that will add character and femininity to their outfits. Necklaces are one of the most popular ways to wear this bold trend. Before you purchase your next piece here are a few tips and tricks to help you find the best necklace that will not only look great, but help you feel great.

Similar to the trick of the V-Neck neckline, long necklaces can add length to a body, giving it the allusion of a long, sleek line. Make sure the chain hits somewhere between the waist and chest  ensuring that it is not too long. Multiple chains can be paired together to create a strong line, but be careful not to choose two many bulky chains as this can add bulk to your torso and chest. Chunky, long necklaces can add weight to larger bust areas, so the advice here is to choose one or the other: chunky or long. Choker necklaces tend to shorten the body because of how high they sit on the neck. To help flatter the look of the choker, be sure to pair it with an open neckline. Choose a necklace that is more delicate, so it does not add bulk to your neck making it look thick. Try pearls, an beautiful gold Omega chain, or any other delicate material.

Bib necklaces can be the most bold and can provide a dramatic look for an evening out or paired with jeans and a t-shirt. The necklace length is usually between 17 to 21 inches. These are referred to as  “Bib” necklaces as they usually have large detail in the space on the chest where a shirt neckline would be. It is important that you find pieces that you love and feel comfortable in, because no matter how trendy or in style the piece may be, if you don’t feel good in it, people will know. Forget the old rule of not mixing different styles such as gold and silver. Mixing and matching jewelry can be a way to show off your personality.

Caring For Crystal Necklaces

There are few jewelry items that are more beautiful than elegant crystal necklaces.  A crystal heart pendant can quickly become the star of your fashion jewelry collection, just by wearing it a few times.  But when wearing crystal jewelry, there are a few things to keep in mind.  If you don’t take good care of it, the natural luster and elegant beauty of your necklace will dim and you’ll stop wearing it and go looking for a new one instead of simply maintaining what you already have.

The worst thing that can happen to a crystal pendant is for it to be ignored, scratched, and left for dead. Many things you use every day tarnish crystal.  Most lotions and cosmetics are not good for crystal, so you need to wait for them to be completely dry before putting the necklace on.  If you have a necklace that is already tarnished, using a mild cleaning agent that will remove the residue without scraping the crystal.  One method to try is a glass of white vinegar.  Test it first on a tiny part of the crystal to make sure it won’t hurt it, but with most, you should be able to dip the crystal in and let the vinegar do its job without you having to wipe it and risk streaks or worse, scratches.

There are cleaners designed specifically to clean crystals, and if the vinegar doesn’t work, try getting the cleaner designed specifically for that type of crystal.  Never store your crystal necklaces in piles.  Use a necklace stand or a box that has hangers for the necklaces that keep them from bumping into each other.  Most crystals don’t handle heat and humidity well, so try to keep them dry as well. Your necklace will reward you with a lifetime of beauty and elegance if properly cared for, so be nice to them!

Fashion Jewelry Necklaces are Very Popular

Personalized fashion jewelry necklaces are extremely popular these days. “I am what I am” or so goes the saying. An established trend in jewelry is to personalize the pieces you wear. With necklaces, this is all about displaying your name. Many choose to get names written in precious metals, such as silver and gold in order to show off their own signature or that of an important person they love. Name necklaces can be made to suit any style or budget.

These types of fashion jewelry necklaces can literally have your name written on the pendant. Letters are often in a cursive or script style, but rarely have designers set a limitation on the number of letters in the name. The types of calligraphy and size of the letters are nearly limitless and these companies usually offer many different styles for you to choose from (such as block, script and multi-color styles). Another benefit to this type of necklace is that it can often be priced much less than fine necklaces on the market.

Most fashion jewelry necklaces today are made of sterling silver or gold and are cast by jewelry companies. Named necklaces can be made simply, with just silver or gold. Or they can have various additions. Some styles such as a  marcasite bead necklace are affordable yet classy at the same time. Other styles showcase names within a heart or other design. This is accomplished by offsetting the name while still making the jewelry the main focus. There are some styles that allow you to use two names, which is great for couples. For those who really want the ultimate in name jewelry, there are even some styles that are diamond coated.

In addition to the fashion jewelry necklaces sold as separate items, you can also purchase a crystal necklace set. This is a set that will usually include a matching necklace and bracelet or even earrings. Selecting a necklace with similar pieces is a good way to accessorize a particular outfit. These sets are a good gift to give a bride to wear on her wedding day. For a wedding, the design will usually be a clear crystal style set in a sterling silver chain. If you love the sparkle of crystal, you are sure to be pleased with the selection of the different fashion jewelry necklaces you can choose from. For the most part, fashion jewelry necklaces are popular among all different age groups. With that being said, females make up the majority of buyers.
