Necklace FAQ's

  • How to Wear a Necklace with a Collared Shirt

    Want to add some sparkle to your collared shirt? A gemstone pendant necklace pairs perfectly with a buttoned-up look. Unbutton the top for a more relaxed style and let a natural gemstone necklace cascade over the collar. If you’re after subtlety, try a small gemstone necklace silver tucked underneath, showing just a hint of shimmer.

    How to Wear Necklaces with Dresses

    Choosing the right necklace for your dress is all about balance. For deep V-neck dresses, a layered gemstone necklace like a multi gemstone necklace in gold will enhance the neckline. If you’re wearing a scoop or round neckline, a shorter gemstone statement necklace works best. Dressing up for a formal occasion? Opt for a pearl gemstone necklace for classic sophistication, or choose a tourmaline gemstone necklace to add a splash of color.

    How to Wear a Necklace with a Turtle Neck

    Turtlenecks are a perfect backdrop for long necklaces. A long gemstone necklace adds elegance, breaking up the solid fabric of a high neckline. Go for a chunky gemstone necklace or a big gemstone necklace to make a bold statement. Alternatively, a gemstone silver necklace or a gemstone layered necklace can add a touch of sparkle to your look without overwhelming it.

    How to Wear a Pearl Necklace with Jeans

    Pearls aren’t just for formal events. Pair a pearl and gemstone necklace with jeans for an effortlessly chic look. The combination of elegant pearls and casual denim creates the perfect balance. Add some color with a citrine gemstone necklace or a pink gemstone necklace for a fresh, modern take on this classic style.

    How to Wear a Necklace with a Hoodie

    Surprise your casual wardrobe with a bit of bling. A gemstone pendant necklace layered over a hoodie adds unexpected flair. Want something more subtle? Let a gemstone choker necklace peek out from underneath. For an edgier, street-style vibe, pair a gemstone beaded necklace over the hoodie. Play around with textures by adding a tiger eye gemstone necklace or a garnet gemstone necklace to stand out.

  • The Main Reasons Why Necklaces Get Tangled:

    Necklaces often tangle due to movement and friction, especially when combining pieces of different lengths or thicknesses. Mixing delicate items like a gemstone bar necklace with heavier ones increases the risk of tangling. Storing necklaces without proper separation can also lead to knots over time.

    Tips for Preventing Necklace Tangles:

    Prevent tangling by layering necklaces of different lengths to keep them separated. Using necklace extenders or separators can also help avoid overlap. For storage, hang each necklace individually or use a jewelry organizer with separate compartments. Store a gold multi-layered gemstone necklace in a jewelry pouch to keep strands from tangling. Protect your silver gemstone necklaces from tarnishing by storing them away from open air.

    What to Do Once Your Necklaces Become Tangled and How to Fix It:

    If your necklaces become tangled, lay them flat and use a small pin or needle to gently separate the chains. For more complex knots, a tiny drop of baby or olive oil can help ease them apart.

  • What Styles of Necklaces Work Best with Different Body Shapes:

    The right necklace style can accentuate or balance your body shape. A gemstone necklace silver resting just above the bust elongates a shorter torso. A gemstone pendant necklace draws the eye down, creating a slimming effect. For fuller figures, a big gemstone necklace that sits just below the collarbone evenly distributes focus for a balanced look.

    How to Balance Statement Necklaces with Other Accessories:

    When wearing a rainbow gemstone necklace or multi color gemstone necklace, keep other accessories simple. Opt for stud earrings or a slender bracelet to let the necklace shine. Choose one statement piece to be the focal point, especially if your necklace features a variety of gemstones.

    How to Find the Right Balance Between the Necklace and the Outfit:

    Achieving harmony between your necklace and outfit is key to a polished look. If your outfit is bold, go for a simpler gemstone and pearl necklace or gemstone choker necklace to maintain elegance. Conversely, if your attire is more subdued, a citrine gemstone necklace or topaz gemstone necklace can add a lively burst of color and interest.

  • How to Style Gemstone Necklaces with Colorful Patterned Clothing:

    Pairing gemstone necklaces with vibrant patterns can be striking if done right. Match colors with a peridot gemstone necklace or tourmaline gemstone necklace to align with green floral prints. Alternatively, create contrast with a garnet gemstone necklace against a navy or blue patterned top for added depth.

    Best Complimentary Gemstone Necklace Colors to the Primary Colors in Your Wardrobe:

    If your wardrobe features primary colors like red, blue, or yellow, choose complementary gemstone hues. A sapphire gemstone necklace pairs beautifully with yellow, while an opal gemstone necklace known for its brilliant flashes of iridescence make reds pop. For blue outfits, a pearl gemstone necklace or gold gemstone necklace provides timeless elegance.

    Best Gemstone Necklaces to Add a Pop of Color for Both Cool and Warm Neutral Outfits:

    Cool neutrals like gray or silver pair well with a gemstone silver necklace or amethyst gemstone necklace for a rich color boost. For warm neutrals like beige or brown, consider a tiger eye gemstone necklace or colorful gemstone necklace to add warmth. A multi colored gemstone necklace works with both cool and warm outfits, offering versatile styling options.

Necklace Lengths

  • Most women’s gemstone necklaces range from 16 to 20 inches in length. This makes them versatile enough for everyday wear, whether you’re pairing them with casual tops or formal dresses. Pieces like the princess necklace fall in this range, sitting just below the collarbone for a flattering fit.

  • A gemstone pendant necklace typically ranges from 18 to 24 inches, hitting just at or below the collarbone. This length is perfect for making the pendant—whether it’s a sapphire gemstone necklace or an opal gemstone necklace—the star of your outfit.

  • There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to necklace lengths. For everyday outfits, an 18-inch multi gemstone necklace is versatile and stylish. If you’re dressing up, a longer chunky gemstone necklace or long gemstone necklace works beautifully. Want to add dimension to your look? Mix a 16-inch gemstone choker necklace with longer necklaces for a layered style.

  • A gemstone choker necklace typically measures 14 to 16 inches, sitting snugly around the neck. This makes it ideal for framing your face and enhancing both casual and evening wear. For a trendy, bold look, go for a chunky gemstone choker that makes a statement.

  • The princess necklace is a classic at 18 inches long. It’s versatile enough to wear with most necklines, making it a staple in any jewelry collection. Whether it’s a handcrafted gemstone necklace or a gemstone necklace gold, this length sits perfectly just below the collarbone, adding elegance to your look.
