Tips To Choose Right Necklace of Appropriate Length



Choosing a right necklace of the length perfect for you is important to complement your beauty immensely. The length of necklace usually depends on the dress you're wearing, your face shape and overall build.

Usually, 24" sterling silver necklace is great to add charm to your business outfit. As for formal wear, you can double the length by choosing a 32” silver necklace. 18” necklace matches all types of dresses. Here are some more tips to help you find the ideal necklace length:

  • If you have broader shoulders, choose the necklace that has longer length. It is because the shorter necklace provides a bunched up look that highlights your broad shoulders, whereas the longer one gives you a taller look.
  • If you have a slim body, heavier necklace with a pendant is best for you. Always take note that the V-shaped or longer necklace can make you look taller.
  • The woman with large breasts should choose necklace with more than 22” length.
  • Long thin chains will suit you best, if you have small breasts.
  • Woman with round face and a short stature should opt for long necklace.
  • If you have an oval face, you should choose a shorter necklace, however, any length suits oval face shape.
  • Face with sharp chins or heart-shape looks beautiful with choker necklace or the necklace with shorter length.
  • In addition to these tips, also consider the length of your neck while choosing the appropriate necklace. If your neck is larger than average, a bigger necklace is perfect for you.

So, by now you have learnt the tips to choose the right necklace suitable for your body and dress you are planning to wear. Always remember, choosing perfect jewellery is important to outshine your beauty.

Do's And Don'ts For Diamond Care


Diamond is the hardest substance of Earth, but it needs a little extra care and love to ensure it shines like the first day you bought it. Everyday exposure to skin creams, oils, soaps, household chemicals and other substances can reduce the sparkle and brilliance of your diamond jewellery. A few Do's and Don'ts are listed here that will help you to keep the sparkle of your diamonds forever.

Do:
  • Clean your diamond regularly. Take an ammonia-based cleaner or baking soda and scrub using soft brush. Take extra care while cleaning the back of the diamond as this will be the area that collects most of the dirt and oil.
  • Take them to trusted and professional jeweller once a year to ensure the settings are intact and whole. A corroded, weak or damaged setting is the biggest enemy of any diamond jewellery like stud earring, diamond ring and solitaire pendants.
  • Keep your diamonds carefully when not using them. The best way to store them is to keep in a soft fabric lined container or box.

Don't:
  • Use harsh cleansers and harmful solutions. Chlorine or bleach should never be used on, or anywhere near, a diamond while cleaning. It can erode the setting and discolour the diamond.
  • Play too much. Though, it is difficult to keep from playing with it, all the natural oils from your figures can dull the brilliance.
  • Store the diamonds with other jewellery items.
  • Wear while doing household works and physical outdoor activities.
  • Leave it on a bookshelf, counter or next to a sink. There is a possibility that you may forget or misplace it.

Always keep it in mind that if you treat this valuable stone with extra amount of love and care, they will last much longer than you’d expect.
