The necklace is a frequently forgotten piece of jewellery. Silver necklaces come in such a wide variety of styles that it’s easy to understand what makes them popular. Whether you’re looking for a silver necklace for yourself or to give someone else as a gift, there are a few terms you might want to know before you start shopping – and we’ll explain these for you in this article.
Necklaces are often referred to by common names associated with their length or construction. A choker is typically between 14 and 16 inches long. A princess necklace is typically 18 inches long. Matinee necklaces are between 22 and 24 inches in length. A necklace between 30 and 36 inches in length is known as an opera necklace. A rope necklace, sometimes called a sautoir, is essentially anything longer than an opera necklace. A bib necklace is made up of a number of strands of beads or pearls in graduated sizes. And finally, graduated necklaces are made up of beads or pearls that start small on the ends, and are larger in the middle of the strand.
Silver necklaces make great gifts – but before you rush out and buy one, you might want to consider the person who’ll wear it. Would they prefer a longer or shorter necklace? If you’re not sure, think about their habits – a longer necklace might be snagged on equipment or pulled by children. Have a peek at the recipient’s existing jewellery collection, if possible, to get a clearer idea what they like and improve your chance of buying a perfect piece.
When shopping for that silver necklace online, choose a merchant with a solid reputation for customer satisfaction, a clear return policy and a proven guarantee of quality and authenticity of their wares. Also, opt for insured shipping wherever possible to avoid disappointment.© Sexy Silver Jewellery.co.uk 2007.
