The Classics

1. Chain Necklace

Less is more is the mantra for chain necklaces. So, if ‘minimal yet elegant’ is a match for your vibe, then chain necklaces are just ‘the one’ for you. Typically 16-18 inches long, they feature a plain metal chain, with few or no embellishments, they offer the perfect foundation for any outfit. The style of chain link, as well as the length, determines the overall look of these necklaces.

Some of the most popular chain necklaces are: 

Cable, snake, curb(most popular), rope, box and belcher/rolo chain. 

You can wear them solo or layer them or add a pendant for a personalised look.

 

2. Pendant Necklace

You can guess it from the name— a pendant necklace consists of one or more hanging charms or decorations that dangle from a chain. These could be anything from precious stones like natural diamond halo pendants or semi-precious gems like aquamarine pendants for women, to initials or a simple heart. Fixed or detachable, these are the ultimate symbol of 'I've got something to hang onto'! From simple to bold, it's the perfect way to add some dangle to your day (and your outfit).

If you're from the crew of  understated luxury lovers— a solitaire diamond halo pendant is a must-try for you; for someone with a love for all things ‘simple and serene’— you must try aquamarine necklaces, they're literally waves in the new trends! And for the rebel at heart, angara ruby necklaces have a variety to match the fire of your soul!

They're basically tiny treasure chests that hang from your neck! The design allows you to keep special stuff, like photos, locks of hair, or even a special message inside them. They come in all shapes and sizes, from hearts to ovals to circles, and are often made from gold or silver. Lockets have been around for ages - the Victorians loved them! - and they're still a popular gift today. Some of them have see-through designs, so you can show off what's inside, while others keep things under wraps. Either way, they're a beautiful way to keep your memories close to your heart.
