3 Types Of Necklaces

Are you planning on buying a necklace? There are many types of necklaces that you can go for. Some of the best types include:

Chain

These are the most common types of necklaces and are usually made from gold or silver. There are others that are made from other metals, but filled with gold or another metal. When buying the necklaces you need to be cautious of the various terms used in describing them. Some of the most common terms used in describing them are:

  • Box: these are necklaces that have square links that form a smooth chain
  • Snake: they have tightly connected links that form a heavy, rounded, bendable chain
  • Wheat: they have a combination of oval and twisted oval links
  • Rollo: the links are usually combined in a classic look to create an elegant looking necklace.

Beaded

These are necklaces that are composed of one or more beads. The most common beads used are: glass beads, plastic, pearls and other semi-precious stones. Just like chain necklaces, beaded necklaces have a number of common terms that are used in describing them.

The common terms used are: uniform, bib and graduated. A uniform necklace is composed of equally sized beads. A bib necklace has three or more strands where each strand is longer than the other. A graduated necklace on the other hand is a necklace that has increasing sized beads. These necklaces usually have a small bead near the clasp.

Metal

They are usually made from platinum metal. The good thing with a metal necklace is that you can wear it with almost any outfit. It’s also very durable thus you won’t be buying new necklaces every now and then.

Factors To Consider When Buying A Necklace

To buy the right necklace you need to consider a number of factors. One of the main factors that you should consider is the length of the necklace. There are three lengths that you can go for: chocker, princes and opera.
